... that control of Palestine may also have been achieved by this dynasty, and the problems evidenced at the beginning of Dynasty XII effectively mastered. I have argued elsewhere that Palestine was ruled by vassals of the XIIIth-Dynasty pharaohs, and have shown that in the framework of the revised chronology, Egyptian control of Palestine during this dynasty is actually attested by archaeological finds [51]. This control of the Delta and of Palestine explains fully why the enslaved Hebrews were unable to escape bondage until the catastrophe of the "plagues" brought Dynasty XIII's power to an end. (iii) Evidence for Israel in Egypt. As we have seen already, it is now well known that there were ...
742. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... . THE HYKSOS STILL AREN'T THE ASSYRIANS SPEAKER: Martin Sieff The following points are offered as a reply to Gunnar Heinsohn. (1 ) In AEON I:6 , Gunnar Heinsohn argues that his "Assyrian-Hyksos" introduced both the great raised earthwork fortresses with their glacis walls and the light siege engines that rendered these fortresses obsolete. The clear archaeological record belies this claim. The glacis-wall fortresses stem from the Middle Bronze II B-C period. At the beginning the Iron Age, casement wall fortresses, with double walls, separated by "sandwich-filling" of rubble, appear. These fortresses, which we find in key centers of Assyrian military occupation in the land of Israel, such as ...
743. "VELIKOVSKY'S CHALLENGE TO SCIENCE" [Journals] [Pensee]
... . 4 No 1: (Winter 1973-74) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VI" Home | Issue Contents "VELIKOVSKY'S CHALLENGE TO SCIENCE" AAAS symposium will attempt an evaluation of Velikovsky's work, focusing on "the nature and origin of the planets." Review Compendium More than 20 years ago Immanuel Velikovsky concluded, from his studies of historical and archaeological records, that close encounters between Earth and the planets Venus and Mars occurred near 1500 B.C . and 775 B.C . Velikovsky's suggestions differed greatly from the generally accepted view of the solar system, and many astronomers and historians considered his conception to be fallacious. Although an attempt was made to suppress Velikovsky's writings, public ...
744. And it Came to Pass, in the Days of Amraphel King of Shine'ar: Biblical Veracity and Non-biblical Chronology [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , every schoolboy knew that Abraham was the first Hebrew Patriarch and a contemporary of the Babylonian king Hammurabi (renowned for his law code). Biblical criticism, asking for the scientifically required independent corroboration for the deeds of Abraham, raised doubts regarding his very existence (and the veracity of other Patriarchal and Exodus tales in the Bible); archaeology, invariably confirming the biblical data from the Books of Kings onward, appeared less generous concerning the earlier feats. Was there an Exodus? Since the event is not (so it is generally held) mentioned in Egyptian records, doubt is in fashion. And if it did happen, when? Current view places it in the thirteenth ...
745. In Passing [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is one of the editorial team for S.I .S . Workshop. Leakey's BBC TV series and the inevitable accompanying book present a very similar story to his previous Origins, published in 1977 and written in collaboration with Roger Lewin of New Scientist. The Making of Mankind, however, does present more details of recent technological research and archaeological evidence of the "urban revolution". The jacket cover announces that "Richard Leakey and the BBC have combined their efforts to put the true picture of human evolution before a general audience for the first time." This is most misleading. Darwinian evolution has largely predetermined the manner in which all discoveries are interpreted and Leakey's objectivity is ...
746. The End. Ch.16 The End (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... , and lava. Long before the crowd of witnesses finished filing by, we knew that we would not be able to evade the conclusion that global catastrophes have shaken this world of ours. I have not included here the testimony of ancient literary sources or of folklore. Shall I be confronted with the argument that, though the geological and archaeological records speak for catastrophic occurrences in the past, the absence of human testimony contradicts this interpretation of the geological record of recent date? Is not Worlds in Collision a book of human evidence? And was not this testimony disputed because first of all, of a presumed conflict with the findings of geology? Although no references to historical inscriptions ...
747. The Earliest Arrival of Celts in the British Isles [Journals] [Kronos]
... KRONOS X:1 , Fall 1984, pp. 58-61), I was surprised by his statement, on p. 60, that "the initial migration of Celtic peoples into Britain is generally considered to have taken place not much earlier than 500 B.C ." . My surprise was occasioned by the fact that, in both archaeologically and linguistically oriented courses since the 1960's, I have been telling my students that, while the Britons, linguistically ancestral to the Welsh, probably did not reach Britain till the 5th century B.C ., the Gaels, linguistically ancestral to the Irish, probably arrived there in the 19th century B.C . - and remained ...
748. Venus Tablet Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of the planet Venus and the rising dates with astrological omens added. Twenty-one years is the reign length of King Ammisaduqa of the Hammurabi Dynasty. Since his 8th date-formula is found after Year 8 of the Venus Tablets, the record is thought to have originated in Ammisaduqa's reign. The historical date of this reign has not yet been established by archaeological means. But an astronomical investigation carried out by Peter J. Huber of Harvard University dated the reign as 1702-1681 BC [1 ]. Now many of the recorded invisibility periods of Venus, especially at superior conjunction, are longer than computed [2 ]. That is to be expected. The climate of Mesopotamia is dry for most ...
749. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... problem starts, of course, with Velikovsky. He seemed to be unaware that Solomon is a fictional character and tried to tie him into real, i.e . Egyptian, history. I was surprised to discover, in the 1980s, in a serious and orthodox French-language serialisation of the Bible, richly illustrated and interspersed with reports of archaeological findings, that there is not a shred of evidence to prove that either David or Solomon were real people, unless we take the El-Amarna correspondence as providing literary proof for David - but Solomon? I still challenge anyone to show an inscription bearing his name, or any trace of the first temple in Jerusalem. It appears that there ...
750. Chaldean Account of Genesis [Books]
... after another until I had completed the greater part of the second column. Portions of a third copy next turned up, which, when joined together, completed a considerable part of the first and sixth columns. I now had the account of the Deluge in the state in which I published it at the meeting of the Society of Biblical Archaeology, December 3rd, 1872. I had discovered that the Izdubar series contained at least twelve tablets, and I afterwards found this to be their exact number. Of this series the tablet describing the Deluge was the eleventh and K 231. the sixth. Numerous other fragments turned up at the same time; but these, while they ...
