... the sequence of artificial values becomes 25+ 16+ 25+ 20+ 25 = 111 years. The purpose of the 20 year alternative is firstly to help in producing the alternating sequence of 25 years and secondly to contribute to the 111 year total. Labayu at Beth-Shean!There has been a surprising find at Beth-Shean, a kind of Amarna Letter written on a clay cylinder, addressed to Labayu (king of the central hill country) and sent by Tagi (father-in-law of Milkilu of Gezer). Recall that the new chronology' identifies Labayu as King Saul whose body was taken to Beth-Shean, and Tagi as the ruler of Gath-Carmel who was a Canaanite ally of Saul ( ...
242. The Homeric Question [Journals] [SIS Review]
... monotheism was only established during the 6th century BC, after the Babylonian Exile. His claim prompted me to ask the following question: if this Jewish revolution took place in ancient Israel as late as the 6th century, why had the Greeks started theirs 200 years earlier? Although Gunnar Heinsohn had by that time already revised the date of the Amarna Period to the late 7th century BC [37], he had not yet downdated the Greek chronology accordingly because he was aware of the Olympic Victor list and its first entry which dated to 776 BC [38]. Once the results of my research revealed that the Olympic victor list was a fabrication of the 4th century and that ...
243. The present state of Radiocarbon Dating [Articles]
... at two standard deviations to the calibration curve, we arrive at a bracket of 1400 to 1260 BC, which means that there is a 95 % chance that the real date falls within that period. I am no expert on Egyptian chronology, but it seems to me that this therefore does rule out any suggestion that the date of the Amarna period should be drastically lowered by 300 or more years. The lowest it could possibly go down to is somewhere in the twelfth century, if you had this at three standard deviations, but that would mean that there would be something like a 2% chance that this was in the 12th century BC, provided of course that you ...
244. Scientific Dating Methods In Ruins [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Hazor, Beth-Shean, Megiddo, Gezer, Tell Batash and Shechem). And last, but not least, correspondence partners of the Mitanni are well known in Egypt's New Kingdom (Amenophis III and Akhenaton). Because of its highly peculiar pottery style (Nuzi Ware) and a wealth of written tablets listing its rulers also known from the Amarna correspondence, there is little danger that archeologists do not recognize a stratum of the Mitanni nation once they see it. Thus, no other nation of antiquity is better suited for archeological cross-references than the Mitanni. (59) Heinsohn continues: To establish the identity of stratigraphical horizons for Old-Akkadians (as well as for Old Assyrians) and ...
245. The Patchwork Pentateuch [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... men, subsequently misunderstood by the redactor. (He cites W.W .Hallo.) He does not give the term, which is in fact the eleph' discussed by Velikovsky [8 ]. Velikovsky was concerned not with the Exodus in this section but with the time of Jehoshaphat, which he of course synchronised with the el Amarna letters. Velikovsky's point was twofold: that a word spelled (consonantally) aleph-lamed-phe might be read chieftain' rather than thousand' in the scriptural texts relating to this period and also that the same reading might (sometimes) replace ships' in the el Amarna letters (where the term is elippe in the transliteration used by Velikovsky) ...
246. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... , Heinsohn has rejected any such compromise, and so has Whelton in following him. But that is irrelevant to the central issue as to whether such a compromise is the correct solution or not. Heinsohn and Whelton have no such power over the truth, only over their own opinions. I remain convinced by the balance of evidence that the Amarna period belongs in the 9th century, approximately where Velikovsky placed it, and that therefore the Mesopotamian monarchs referred therein belong there as well. Heinsohn's arguments linking the El Amarna records to his Mesopotamian material for the seventh and sixth centuries is tenuous in the extreme. In September 1987 I sent Heinsohn a short paper criticizing his arguments on this ...
247. SIS Study Group June 1995 [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the earth's atmosphere and the consequent ecological disaster. Bob said that would have been earlier than 540AD. Benny cited the Justinian plague. Jeremy Parnell mentioned several plagues in the middle of third century, reducing the world population from 70 to 50 million, according to early Christian writers. There were lots of portents and comets at the time. Amarna Letter at Beth Shean. Bob then told us of an Amarna letter found at Beth Shean, which mentions Labayu (see C&C Review Vol. XVI, 1994). Hezekiah's Tunnel. Bob Porter suggested that this was not built by Hezekiah. There are 2 tunnels. Bob showed us a chart with the city of David ...
248. The Problem of Adjusting the Date Limits of the Archaeological Ages to Meet Velikovsky's Revision [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... late dynasties of Egypt can be condensed to meet the demand of his forward placement of earlier dates by 500 years was rejected as the consensus of opinion at the Glasgow Conference. It was there recognized that by whatever means this demand is met, ultimately, dynasty XIX of Rameses II must be left in the 8th century in succession to the Amarna period. In my published volumes an alternate chronology for the total dynastic period of Egypt was described and defended. At that time (1971) I was quite unaware of how Velikovsky intended to meet the demand for compressing the late Egyptian dynasty period. In my proposed revision dynasty XIX of Rameses II was left in the 8th century. ...
249. Minerals, Metals, Glazing and Man, by John Dayton, Reviewed by Geoffrey Gammon [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... This is first evident in northern Syria, then controlled by the kingdom of Mitanni, at Alalakh, Nuzi (where the earliest examples of yellow glazes are found) and Rimah. From there it spread to Egypt, probably as a result of the dynastic ties established between Egypt and Mitanni by Thutmose IV and Amenhotep III. During the brief Amarna period, characterized by the religious revolution attempted by the latter's successor, Akhenaten, the art of glazing in the ancient world reached a peak of perfection. Almost every color (three types of blue, green, yellow, red, white, brown, and pink) appears in the Amarna glazes, analyses of which reveal a wide ...
250. Pygmalion, Prince of Tyre, and the el-Amarna Correspondence [Journals] [Kronos]
... Aram (Syria) as with his native Israel, had foretold Hazael's bloody triumph over Damascus.(38) Shortly after the clash at Shenir, Hazael marched to attack and subdue Shomron (Samaria), the capital of Israel. He then made King Jehu his slave. Velikovsky's proof that the Biblical Hazael is identical with Azira of the Amarna records abides without a phrase of refutation. Jehu probably clamored to Shalmaneser for rescue from Aram; and sometime around 839 B. C., the Assyrian shook armed fists at the despot of Damascus, but Hazael soon learned that he would be secure from the ferocity of Nineveh. The Medes and the wild mountain men of Ararat and ...
