... itself, little evidence has been preserved that would allow us to understand the precise celestial reference to the Eye. We can, however, partially fill this gap in the archaeological record by considering the cult of the Egyptian warrior-goddess Hathor in which the Eye is a dominant motif. THE EYE OF HEAVEN One of the most unusual images in all ... linked to the goddess, one with clearcut cometary associations, is the hair-star (see Figure 9). Although the religious significance of the hair-star is much debated, several archaeologists have expressed the opinion that "the motive was a token of possession marking . . . animals [with it] as the property of Ishtar".(51 ...
482. O-Kee-Pa: Catastrophe Myths and Rituals of the North American Mandan Indians [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to the nature of the catastrophic events that triggered the O-Kee-Pa catastrophe ritual. James Michael, head of the Ancient Kentucky Historical Association, and his colleagues claim to have found archaeological evidence for a transatlantic migration from Wales to North America during the mid 6th century AD. Allegedly, there is strong evidence for both a cultural and genetic link between ... should people from the British Isles have left their homes, risk their lives and migrate to completely unknown shores during the 6th century AD?

483. Ever Since Darwin: A Review [Journals] [Kronos]
... was written. Velikovsky's effort to include the latest evidence, mainly from the early 50's, in the Supplement (" Worlds in Collision in the Light of Recent Finds in Archaeology, Geology and Astronomy") was completely wasted on Gould. Gould also raises the question of "minor errors and halftruths" found in the pages of Earth in ... hope that Gould, in a more generous mood, would be willing to admit that Velikovsky's achievement in assembling his data, when he is not a geologist, palaeontologist or archaeologist, is quite remarkable. Gould's final comment is his most extraordinary: "But all these criticisms pale to insignificance before the most conclusive refutation of Velikovsky's examples - their ...
484. A Return to the Two Sargons and Their Successors [Journals] [Aeon]
... they no longer remembered that, what certainty do we have that they remembered other items, or events, correctly? Besides, does not Heinsohn himself give primary importance to archaeology- strata, etc.- over that of the written record? Or does he only do this when it suits him? We have already seen above that, ... . In the end, of course, a distinction has to be made between the Hyksos invaders of Egypt and the Hyksos of the Near Eastern hinterland "uncovered" by archaeologists. In keeping with the thread of our discussion, it is the Hyksos invaders of Egypt that I wish to focus on in the rest of this paper. To ...
485. Introduction (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... method-I feel it is strong enough to serve as a control of the efficiency of the method and not vice versa; but for many occupied in the domains of history and archaeology such corroboration, repeated a number of times, may arouse the desire to investigate my reconstruction, first of all, by reading Ages in Chaos; and possibly this ... me for long stretches of time from the pharaohs and Assyrian and Persian kings. Possibly also there were some psychological motives in my long procrastination. Should not more and more archaeologists have the opportunity of reading the first volume of Ages in Chaos before the sequel appeared? Should not those who refused this mental effort enmesh themselves in more and more ...

... 400 mile caravan trek. In this matter, the words of de Camp are echoed by Gus van Beek, author of the above Sheban commentary and Curator of Near Eastern Archaeology at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington. "Located in the south-western comer of the Arabian peninsula, with boundaries roughly corresponding to those of ... during the formative period, or very near it, when the foundations of Sabaean culture were laid" (pp. 40-41, emphasis added). [Note that the archaeologists are still resorting to a favorite device, particularly of the astronomers- unwarranted retrocalculation, based upon presently observed phenomena, in order to draw conclusions about the past. ...
487. Oedipus and Akhnaton by Immanuel Velikovsky [Velikovsky]
... archaeologists; and he brings vividly to life all the figures of both ancient tragedies. This thoroughgoing analysis, as the author's far-ranging mind makes clear, has much more than archaeological implications, for it illuminates the nature of classical tragedy and has bearing on Freud's own unresolved conflicts. It presents, in fact, a rewriting of ancient history at ... parallels between the myth and the fact; he solves a number of mysteries concerning the tombs in the Valley of Kings, Tutankhamen's famed burial ground, which have long puzzled archaeologists; and he brings vividly to life all the figures of both ancient tragedies. This thoroughgoing analysis, as the author's far-ranging mind makes clear, has much more than ...

... all its details, which range from ancient texts in cuneiform, hieroglyphics, and Hebrew, to autobiographies and portraits, to ancient topographical maps and plans of battle, to archaeological stratigraphy. The centuries both preceding and following(2 )the decades described in this volume constitute together, in the reconstruction of ancient history, a monolithic oneness. ... Empire" in its most exalted period, the placement of which in the fourteenth and thirteenth centuries before the present era has caused innumerable difficulties and led to much consternation among archaeologists, vanishes after having "lived" in books and articles for more than a century. No lesser upheaval takes place in Egyptian historiography. The so-called Nineteenth Dynasty, ...

In such an inquiry we must have archaeological dates on which we can rely. In the date assigned to the time of Mena by various Egyptologists we find a difference of nearly- in fact, rather more ... should be considered. Very fortunately for us in these inquiries the temple of Amen-Ra is one of those most carefully studied by Mariette, so that the dernier mot of the archaeologist is at our disposal. Mariette, in his magnificent memoir on Karnak [1 ] surpassed himself in the care and sagacity which he displayed in endeavouring to fix dates ...

... on the historical implications of his choice. (6 ) In an attempt to tilt the balance of scholarly stalemate, Van Seters opted for Khata na-Qantir on the basis of archaeological, literary, and philological data;(7 ) and while his reasoning seems compelling, it is not indisputable. The latter point, in particular, necessitated his ... A Note on the Location of Avaris Marvin A. Luckerman Editor's Preface- The identification of the exact location of the Hyksos capital, Avaris, has remained geographically elusive to archaeologists even of the present time and is still a basically unsettled issue. The problem has occupied Egyptological thought and activity for more than half a century without a totally satisfactory ...
