... inserted in Aegean, Mesopotamian, or Anatolian histories. William F. Albright, Spence Professor of Semitic Language at Johns Hopkins University, reviewed and rejected Velikovsky's second book in the New York Herald Tribune for April 20, 1952. Albright's only specific argument was that Velikovsky had mistaken the cuneiform plural sign, mesh, in some of the El Amarna letters for the name of the Moabite King Mesh (a ) But in his text Velikovsky twice called attention to the fact that in several instances in these letters the conventional reading cannot apply, since the grammatical construction definitely pertains to an individual - a rebellious vassal of the king of Samaria (Sumur), well known from the Bible ...
312. The British Connection [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the revolution comes, nothing is spared, and then it feeds upon itself. No, you don't, Martin! That's too much! Here is how Sieff declared the consensus again to Whelton: "Ages in Chaos, Vol. I still stands. Minor corrections and improvements, yes"- but the Hyksos are the Amalekites; El Amarna tablets fall in the time of the prophet Elisha; Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt is the Queen of Sheba; Thutmose III is biblical Shishak. "To which I will add the correlation- Ramses III in Jeroboam II's time; Merneptah kicked out by Azru = Uzziah/Azariah; Ramses II = Late Bronze-Iron interchange." In these words ...

... ; and that Iron I and Iron II should be substantially overlapped; in addition to the already proposed (P . J. James) downdating of the end of Iron Age pottery well into the Persian' period. One implication, not discussed at the meeting, of the prolongation of MB II styles into early LB II is that the Amarna period in LB IIA (the time of Saul/Labayu in the New Chronology) might be characterised by MB remains in much of Palestine. Several scholars, including Bietak, have proposed the extension of MB II although they usually terminate it part way through LB I with the conquests of Thutmose III. Bob Porter \cdrom\pubs ...

... of the identifications proposed by Velikovsky in Ramses II and His Time. ' Is it a crime to disagree with Velikovsky? As a pioneer revisionist, he ran the risk of making errors and, besides myself (at the recent London Conference), many of these have been pointed out by others. It was his obsession with placing the Amarna times into the era of Ahab that brought the great man undone, While Ages in Chaos stood alone its thrust was seductive. Once 27 Ramses II an d His Time was available it became apparent that the intervening years between Haremheb and Ramsesses II were too great to accommodate the incidents. Velikovsky's original brilliance had to be questioned. That's ...
315. Notes (The Book of Revelation is History) [Books]
... an intrusion, only indirectly connected with the remainder of the twenty-third myth. The exact meaning of the two words is unknown, but it is generally believed to be `barbarian', an assumption which seems to be supported by the term Gagaya (an inhabitant of the -unidentified- `Land of Gag') which is used in the Amarna Letters. The two words Gog and Magog are certainly related to Greek yiyas, a giant, and seem to allude to a myth similar to the Greek one of the wars of the gods and giants. Note 68. Cf. Moons, Myths, and Man, Chapter 12: Satan'. Note 69. In the highly ...
316. Sothic Dating and Historical Reconstructions [Articles]
... with Heinsohn. So both Hammurabi and the Middle Kingdom come down. They're still contemporaries. Questioner 5: Yes, but if you put Hammurabi there...Remember, Hammurabi is Middle Bronze, and you have Late Bronze on top of that, and in Late Bronze at Ugarit, at Ras Shamra you have texts of the El Amarna letters. Therefore you're putting Hammurabi before and after Akhenaton. Rose: There are things to be looked at there, but Hammurabi has been mentioned by people as a general title. There are all kinds of ways of getting out of this. I'm not proposing any. But I've looked for something clear cut that shoots this down, ...
317. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... disease was originally carried by Nile rats and later infected black rats through trade with India. Black rats live in closer contact with humans so plague could then jump to humans when cities appeared around 3500 BC. Both species of rats have been found together in archaeological digs from around the right time and the human flea vector has been found at Amarna in Egypt from the 14th century BC. Homeric Puzzle (Erwin Cook, American Journal of Archaeology 108:1 , 2004, pp. 43-77) At present, the conventional thought is that Homer's epics were orally transmitted for 4-5 centuries before they were written down. However, the palace of Alkinoos, from the 7th book of The ...

... fake bullae and other items from the forger's workshop. Many such bullae and seals, some with royal names, that have appeared on the antiquities market in the last two decades, are probably fakes. There is a move to redate a lot of Hittite archaeology from the Empire period back into the earlier Middle Hittite period (ie. pre Amarna) which was formerly rather a blank archaeologically. This seems to stem from the work of Müller-Karpe at Kusakli/Sarissa (also Seeher at Bogazkoy/Hattusa) and is reported by him in M. Bietak (ed.), The Synchronisation of Civilisations in the Eastern Mediterranean .. .II, Vienna, 2003, Remarks on ...

... , which follows partly from the 18th Dynasty overstretch, is reproduced and updated here: - The Relation Between Conventional History, Scientific Dating, and True Time - A Speculative Proposal There are two incorrect timescales: conventional historical chronology, and dendrochronology/C-14. At certain points these two happen to coincide. The points are, roughly, the Amarna Period (say c.1340 BC) and the late Middle Kingdom (c .1800 BC). Elsewhere there are discrepancies, e.g . : - c.370 years for the Old Kingdom (Haas et al. in Brit. Arch. Rpt. S379) c.130 years for Thera (above mentioned paper ...
