... upon a setting itself, a skeptical and fully alert reading or examination is required. We have entertained too close a circle of interests and hypotheses; the Trojan record shows this. So do hundreds of other excavation reports. First of all, an interdisciplinary group of scientists must set standards and criteria for entering upon a testable location. Conventional archaeology has certainly proceeded far along these lines, but new parameters need to be added, taken from geology and meteorology, as for instance, the effects of wind and the strength of building materials. The camera that has come to play an important part in contemporary investigations needs to be aimed at the hypotheses, so to speak. The ...
712. Middle and Late Bronze in Transjordan [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History IX:2 (July 1987) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Middle and Late Bronze in Transjordan Vera L Kerkhof One of the problems in the archaeology and history of biblical times is the virtual non-existence of Middle and Late Bronze Age sites in Transjordan. This was Nelson Glueek's conclusion nearly fifty years ago, after surveying the region. Especially if the conquest is placed some time in MB or LB, one faces difficulties: where are the Amorite cities conquered by Israel? Where are the remains of Edomite and Moabite kingdoms? In 1986 James A. Sauer's "Transjordan in the Bronze and Iron Ages: A Critique of Glueck's Synthesis" (BASOR ...

714. Worknotes on the Joshua Impact Event [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... impact destroyed the military forces of a large number of Hittite appendages, which were under the command of the Hittite king T'Hantilish, known to the Greeks as Tantalus. So far I have three independent sources for this event, a summary of which follows, (including contemporary Hittite records, second summary below), as well as a broad archaeological sequence that supports the occurrence of this impact event. The first written source for the event, one with which the conference participants are probably familiar, is the biblical book of Joshua, which is admittedly quite distant from the event itself. To summarize once again the account there, the Israelites leave Egypt at the time of the eruption ...
715. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... defeats and enforced exile that determined the nature of the new religion. The development of monotheism at this stage of history has been recognised by Gunnar Heinsohn. His arguments are fascinating in the context of the post-Exilic period [12]. He takes Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos to the extreme, playing with the idea of reassembling the Persian and Hellenic archaeological periods - exciting stuff. In contrast, the other branch of Velikovskian revisionism has shied away from disturbing the Classical Period and its orthodox archaeological positions. Some SIS stalwarts are aware of the dilemma and still wish to embrace the spirit of Ages in Chaos and the drama of Velikovsky. The New Chronology has been washed clean of catastrophism but ...
716. A Maya Record of Two Thousand Years? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... because of massive mountain building on land, or both. In any case, rapid changes of this kind in the earth's crust would, over a period of time, cause a succession of volcanic explosions, sharp climatic changes, and violent earthquakes, accompanied by tsunami and coastal floods, if the drop took place in sudden steps. The archaeological and historical evidence shows abrupt changes in populations and cultural discontinuities, such as the destruction of Troy III, the Middle Kingdom in Egypt, and the Middle Bronze Age in general. In America the middle of the second millennium B.C . is described as a period in which great climatic and geologic change took place, such as ...
717. The Papyrus Ipuwer [Journals] [Pensee]
... large majority of scholars (Wilson, Hayes, Seele, Stevenson Smith, Aldred, Gardiner, Lange) still adhered to an earlier dating for the events recounted in the Papyrus Ipuwer, completely divorcing them from those of the Exodus. In the years since Gardiner's work, and aside from Velikovsky, only John Van Seters (Journal of Egyptian Archaeology, 50 [1964], 13-23) has subjected the Papyrus Ipuwer to close scrutiny. Interestingly, Van Seters arrived at a date identical with Velikovsky's. Further, a textual emendation of the Admonitions by R. O. Faulkner, also in 1964 (Journal of Egyptian Archaeology, 50, 24-36), and his new, full ...
718. Exodus: The True Story Behind the Biblical Account (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... 1450 B.C . brought on the effects of the ten plagues recorded in the book of Exodus and also the parting of the Red Sea. Goedicke identifies Queen Hatshepsut of the 18th dynasty as the pharaoh of the Exodus. He first announced his new theory in 1981 and it has received extensive coverage (including much criticism) in Biblical Archaeology Review. (3 ) The theory developed by John Bimson which places the conquest of Canaan at the end of the Middle Bronze II period and dates that event some time during the first half of the 15th century B.C . Bimson's view is found in his book, Redating the Exodus and Conquest (1978) and in a ...
719. Some Preliminary Remarks About Thera and Atlantis [Journals] [Kronos]
... 500 years from this figure to fit the revised chronology; and explain why an island which is and always has been perfectly visible, and which, in the 6th century B.C ., supported a vigorous population of seafarers was said to be totally submerged. Plato's references to the Atlanteans' conquest of Western Europe and North Africa are archaeologically undetectable for any period, and the statement that Athens then ruled Greece seems untrue for any time much earlier than Plato's own day both according to archaeology and authentic Greek legends. Again it is important to recall that the starting point for Plato's account is that Atlantis was destroyed long before Deucalion lived. To link Atlantis' demise with a ...
720. Rethinking Hatshepsut [Journals] [SIS Review]
... claims that some of the dynasties in the TIP were contemporary with each other and Egyptian chronology should be reduced by some 350 years [2 ]. Peter James calculates that the dates should be reduced by 250 years [3 ]. These claims are not just the ravings of unknown writers. They reflect the apprehensions of many recent writers in archaeological publications. Professor Colin Renfrew of Cambridge University (now Sir Colin Renfrew) wrote an introduction to Centuries of Darkness [4 ] in which he said, This disquieting book draws attention, in a penetrating and original way, to a crucial period in world history and to the very shaky nature of the dating, the whole chronological framework ...
