The task of the Egyptologist is, then, that of an archaeologist, a linguist and a historian all rolled into one. It is imperative that he not only understands the methods of these disciplines, but that he can apply one ...

... 1974-75) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered X" Home | Issue Contents A Concluding Retort Immanuel Velikovsky Dr. Stiebing (Pensee, Fall, 1973) raised the evidence of stratigraphic archaeology as an argument against my reconstruction of ancient history.

... the same time. The Hittite archives from Boghazköi appear to describe defence preparations, as if an invasion was imminent, and then are silent.

Dated at 1200 BC on the conventional chronology, this period comes down to the eighth century in ... But, if this were the case, the arc of disaster across the Levant would still lack a credible unifying cause. It is important to remember why ancient historians and archaeologists invoked the spectre of "Sea Peoples" in the first place. They were faced with the stratigraphic evidence of the Late Bronze Age civilisations of the Eastern Mediterranean being ...

... also found it "striking" that "the strictly scientific assessment by chemical investigation of artefacts is quite rigorous in its control, but the actual assessment of the relation of archaeological data to history is sloppy and old-fashioned." Dr Meynell agreed; and pointed out that what he found striking in this field was the ease with which clear descriptions ... who are struck by the parallels on which he bases the revised chronology.
