Sauer's article "Syro-Palestinian Archaeology, History and Biblical Studies", ... in Biblical Archaeologist Vol. 45 (1982), No. 4. He says, for instance, that "In my opinion, the archaeological evidence from the Early Bronze and Middle Bronze Ages, ca. 3300-1550 BC, has also not been correlated convincingly with the biblical traditions of the patriarchs. The chronological distance between the biblical sources ...

... which has become increasingly popular and respectable in scientific circles during recent years. It is also interdisciplinary, covering topics as diverse as astronomy, geology, evolution, mythology, archaeology, and ancient history. Whereas most modern authors of quasi-catastrophist theories limit themselves to a single event or a series of related events, in this their first book, ... cosmological scenario. ARCHAEOLOGICAL ANARCHY On Velikovsky's handling of archaeological data, Clube and Napier wrote: "His later identifications contravened the usual stratigraphic sequence of events, however, and archaeologists have generally found them quite unacceptable."(53) Alas, for their own ventures into the field of archaeology, to say nothing of the stratigraphical record, ...

... wonderful king lists going back a very long way, there are two things, one is that the dates themselves have already been considerably lowered once it has been recognised from archaeological evidence that certain dynasties which were thought originally to have come in sequence, were in fact to a large extent parallel, and one is thinking of the period after ... own culture have been found, so we equate the Sumerians with the Chaldaeans of the first millennium for the very simple reason which was neglected by all of ancient historians and archaeologists who were all Bible fundamentalists: If we talk today of Old Babylonian civilisations, we do it for the reason that in the beginning we needed a high civilisation before ...

... India [24]. In 1950, Velikovsky tied in the proto-Indian disasters of around 3500 B.P . to the Venusian catastrophe of Exodus times [25]. Archaeology has produced more evidence since then and the question of the mode of physical destruction has been discussed. Raikes (with the present author dissenting) has argued that great ... portents, alerts, rescue parties, mobilization, sacrifices, propitiations, exodus. A people in readiness for cosmic catastrophe behave, at least in the prejudiced eyes of an archaeologist, like people organized to defend themselves against foreign enemies.

... and mythologists, all at the same symposium. The young, but rapidly developing field of archaeo-astronomy (astro-archaeology) offers an example of genuine interdisciplinary synthesis: certain historical and archaeological data become, at the same time, astronomical data. Indeed, this disciplinary merger seems now to hold out the most immediate and substantial hope for resolution of the ... than a "normal," local conflagration. When asked whether the ash is organic or volcanic in origin, De Grazia replied: "We don't really know. The archaeologists try to get through it as quickly as possible so as to find the pretty pots." De Grazia's suggestion was that a systematic analysis of ash layers at archaeological ...

... ) amply illustrate what may be very serious oversights in the conventional astronomers' Weltanschuung. These articles are essential for an understanding of the plausibility of Velikovsky's cehestial dynamics. In archaeology, a new book by John Dayton23 shows, on the basis of the latest analytical developments in metallurgy, that the whole chronology of the Near East before about 700 ... " conference, I proposed a number of criteria by which the validity of Velikovsky's arguments might be assessed. These involved an examination of how he has dealt with information in archaeologists' reports, what his proposals show of his ability to examine Egyptian texts in their original versions, and what the implications of his proposals are in the light of ...

Velikovsky's revised chronology for the period 1500-800 B.C . as put forward in Ages in Chaos. As Mavor has also stated, "unfortunately there exists considerable disagreement among archaeologists, historians, and philologists about the Aegean chronology from about 1500 to 1200 B.C .

... ." This theory is bizarre. The geological record indicates a late elevation of the Andes, and the time of its origin is brought ever closer to our time. Archaeological and radio-carbon analyses indicate that the age of the Andean culture and of the city is not much older than four thousand years.12Not only the "built before the ... . . .
