... his placement of tablet' Ebla. Unfortunately, this would also lead to a redating of Middle Kingdom Egypt, since the inner core of the Pyramid of Amenhemet I (XIIth Dynasty) contains limestone blocks taken from Old Kingdom tombs. One must wonder how Sweeney views this, and Heinsohn's more recent proposals for a 7th century date for the Amarna period, and of identifying the Hyksos as the same neo-Assyrian kings whom he sees as the Akkadians. Conclusion In closing it only remains for me to reiterate the fact that it is quite clear that none of Heinsohn's claimed alter-ego identifications can be regarded as valid. Claimed alter-egos have totally different reign lengths, while within a dynasty it is ...
302. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... to Halpern's criticisms, and this he does with great clarity and with his usual thoroughness. Bimson homes in immediately on the Halpern argument that LB I would have to be squashed into a mere 20 years. This is not so, he claims. There is evidence for considerable overlap between LB I and LB IIA for every town from the Amarna period which has been firmly identified and properly excavated. Bimson contends that LB I could therefore be dated as low as 1360 BC and have lasted for up to 60 years, quite adequate for the archaeological remains. He proceeds to demolish several misunderstandings and false arguments of Halpern's. The overall effect is, however, dampened by the inclusion ...
303. The Hebrew Patriarchs in Greek Tradition (Part I) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... years with King Ay of 4 years. This is despite Manetho clearly designating them all as foreigners and as a separate dynasty who had just arrived in the area. It also ignores the facts that Aegyptos was a king within the Delta while Danaus was a subordinate king in Libya. Nor can the relevant traditions correlate in any sense with the Amarna age and the Theban kings. Manetho did actually give a strong indication that these foreigners were contemporaries of the early Thutmosides. This indicator can be seen in his notation that in the reign of Misphragmuthosis (i .e . Amenhotep II) the flood of Deucalion's time occurred'. Figure 3 indicates that on a generation count Danaus and ...
304. The Birth of Athena [Journals] [Aeon]
... ancient goddess of comparable stature to Athena was described in like manner. (47) In Greece alone Hera, Hekate, and Aphrodite were represented as armed warriors. (48) The ancient Near East provides a wealth of goddesses distinguished by their propensity for war. Kapelrud offered the following summary in his study of the war-goddess: Both the Amarna letters and the Ras Shamra texts, together with numerous material of different kinds, show that a great, violent goddess, who was at the same time goddess of war and battle and goddess of sexual love, was a dominating figure in worship all over the Middle East, from Anatolia in the North to Egypt in the South, ...

306. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Solomon a contemporary of Thutmose I and Hatshepsut, and after Solomon's death Jerusalem was sacked by Pharaoh Thutmose III - the Biblical Shishak'. Rohl, on the other hand, ( 'conclusion 19') makes David a contemporary of Akhenaten, Tutankhamun, Ay and Haremhab and the Hittite emperor, Suppiluliumas I. Both authors examine the el Amarna letters' in great depth, but emphasise different aspects. Velikovsky stresses the importance that Sumur' of the letters is Samaria - a city fortress built some seventy years after the sack of Jerusalem. Rohl concentrates on Labayu' and the habiru'. There is one further point. Rohl in his examination of Royal Architect Khnemibre's genealogy inscribed ...
307. Implications for Chronology if Certain 'Historical' Characters are Mythological [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (il)logic motivated by the attempt to reinstate Moses as the founder of monotheism (in reaction to Freud's Moses and Monotheism). Yet Oedipus was an entirely mythical figure, with striking analogues in virtually every land, so it is quite impossible that the cycle of traditions surrounding this figure could have originated with the historical king from El Amarna [28]. Velikovsky's most singular failing - one is tempted to say scotoma - is that he, unlike Freud, could not bring himself to apply analytical methods and critical thinking to central figures and events of the Old Testament. Thus we find him writing in a completely uncritical manner on the historical nature of Noah, Methuselah, ...

... true. For in Joshua 10:1ff we hear of king Adoni-zedek the prince of Jerusalem. Even more interesting is the mention of Jerusalem in the David and Goliath account of I Samuel 17:54, portraying an event prior to the conquest of the Jebus by David and his band. The name Urushalim (as is found in the Amarna letters) is found as early as the 25th century BC in the tablets from Ebla. Elsewhere the name (U )Rushalimum is found in the 19-18th century BC Egyptian Execration Texts. The name is generally taken to mean URU = city (or perhaps foundation') of Shalim (= ND or simply peace'). I ...
310. A REVISED CHRONOLOGY FOR THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a test of his revision as it applies to Greek archaeology that Linear B, the Mycenaean script, would have been used to write Greek - before the announcement of Ventris' decipherment that surprised the archaeological world (20). d. His suggestion that the story of Cadmus of Thebes reflected an actual immigration of Phoenicians from Ugarit during the Amarna period has been confirmed by the unexpected finds of Near Eastern artefacts at Thebes, notably cylinder seals from the time of Burraburiash, one of the el-Amarna correspondents (21). e. His claim that the ostraca of Samaria could not have been written in the time of Ahab, but must date from towards the end of the kingdom ...
