732. First Dynasty - pre-Flood or post-Flood [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the Exodus occurring at the end of the Middle Kingdom and there was no dynasties overlapping with one another before, that would place the 4th dynasty at the time of the Flood and easily before if there is overlapping. Menes is talked about as having been the first to drain Egypt(after the Flood?) yet we have Claude Schaeffer's archaeological work (quoted by Velikovsky at length in Earth in Upheaval) that tells us that the Old Kingdom, Mesopotamian and other civilizations were all suddenly wiped out at the same time by an all-encompassing catastrophe(the Flood?) around 2300 BC. My first question for the forum is where do we start dynastic Egyptian history? Is the ...
733. Earth In Upheaval. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... From "Stargazers and Gravediggers" © 1983 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Earth In Upheaval WHEN Worlds in Collision was published, numerous scientists repeatedly claimed that events of such magnitude and at such comparatively recent dates must have left vestiges not only in folklore, but even more so in geology and archaeology.(1 ) Actually in the Epilogue to Worlds in Collision I wrote: "Geological, paleontologi-cal and anthropological material related to the problem of cosmic catastrophes is vast and may give a complete picture of past events no less than historical material." My new book, Earth in Upheaval, published in 1955, was a collection of this material, where I ...
734. Quartered At Yale. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... of certain events in Mesoamerican history (Worlds in Collision, p. 254): "The Mesoamerican cosmology to which Velikovsky repeatedly appeals for proof did not originate and could not originate until about the beginning of our era." Professor Kubler stressed a full 1,000 years of discrepancy between the datings of Worlds in Collision and the proved archaeology. Neither in the fifteenth century nor in the eighth century before our era was there any script, regulated calendar, or mythology as we know it, and the rise of Mesoamerican civilizations was of an incomparably later date. A few years later measurements using the radiocarbon method of dating decided the issue. On December 30, 1956, ...
735. Ishtar, Isis, Baal and the Aten [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... El-Amarna, again requiring that pyramid building activity came after the collapse of El-Amarna (i .e . firmly in the widely recognised megalithic building era), rather than before it. This somewhat provisional analysis clearly pre-supposes at least partial abandonment of the concept of the Egyptian Old, Middle and New' kingdoms, probably also a revision of the archaeological periods currently designated Bronze, Iron etc. '. Both concepts have obviously been useful in their time but I suggest that they may now be out-moded. I particularly commend the comments of the authors of the Penguin Dictionary of Archaeology (Warwick Bray and David Trump), first published 1970, under the heading of Three Age System' ...
736. Chapter I: The Worship of the Sun and the Dawn [Books]
... Chapter I The Worship of the Sun and the Dawn WHEN we inquire among which early peoples we are likely to find the first cultivation of astronomy, whatever the form it may have taken, we learn that it is generally agreed by archaeologists that the first civilisations which have so far been traced were those in the Nile Valley and in the adjacent countries in Western Asia. The information which we possess concerning these countries has been obtained from the remains of their cities, of their temples- even, in the case of Babylonia, of their observatories and of the records of their observations. Of history on papyrus we have relatively little. Not so early as these, but ...
737. Society News: SIS Autumn Conference 2000 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , Whelton felt, remember him kindly for this achievement but what about the history of history? Will his ideas on revising ancient chronology be remembered or forgotten? He doubted that Velikovsky's revised history would ever be confirmed. His method of counting years forward from a postulated date in the past - the Exodus - eventually failed him. The missing archaeology of David and Solomon in particular casts a dark shadow on his work; he tried to escape this by using the archaeology of other ancient countries (Egypt, Babylon, Greece) to illustrate the missing archaeology of the Bible but eventually we must require that if the Bible stories are real, then real evidence must be presented. Mentioning ...
738. Isotopic Anomalies in Chronometric Science [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 1 ) raised a number of important questions over the reliability of radiometric dating in Geochronology and related areas; perhaps the most serious being the discordance that can exist between datings obtained by different methods. If a discordant dating cannot be explained by experimental error or contamination then it is generally disregarded in favour of the date that best confirms the suspected archaeological context. The purpose of the present paper is to consider some of the natural isotopic fractionation processes that may possibly account for some of the anomalous dates. In most radiometric dating techniques, a great deal of importance is attached to the establishment of "conventional isotopic abundances". The abundances of the particular isotopes of a given element are ...
739. A Quantitative Test for Catastrophic Theories [Journals] [Pensee]
... and 5th millennia B.C .( 3 ) Also there can be great difficulties in making sure that the dated samples are reliable, that they have not been contaminated by older or younger carbon, that the death of the organism concerned (equivalent to its radiocarbon age) occurred at the same time as its incorporation into a geological or archaeological deposit, and so on. Nevertheless, assuming the samples to be as reliable as possible, radiocarbon dating has provided us with a superb tool to test the catastrophic theories quantitatively. It gives us a reliable relative dating system which allows us to compare the times in the past that events occurred between which there could otherwise be no detectable ...
