... in -550. Via the Mitanni=Medes of the late 7th century B.C .E . the Amarna period becomes the anchor point for Egypt's chronology. This curious extension of the history of the ancient Near East by ghost empires- taught to every school child today under the names of Early Dynastic Sumerians, Akkadians, Neo-Sumerians and Old Babylonians, is explained by the fact that as early as two thousand years ago, or more, work had begun on a historiography confirming the Bible. This Christian scheme of history (probably begun earlier in an Alexandrian-Judaic context) took up the task of synchronizing the birth of Abraham (dated to ca. -2100) in Ur in Chaldea ...
282. The Chronology of Israel and Judah Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Bibles. Thiele specialized in his work on the time of the Hebrew kings. His results are widely accepted by historians and are used in their expositions. The results of Thiele's efforts are summarized in Table I. [1 ] Thiele's chronology is an attempt to harmonize the data of the Bible with the currently accepted dates for the Assyrian and Babylonian kings as computed from the surviving king-lists. To achieve this "harmony" he chose to regard some of the biblical data as erroneous. Concerning the contemporaneous reigns of Hoshea of Israel and Hezekiah of Judah, Thiele concluded that the data of 2 Kings 17 and 18 are "late and artificial synchronisms" which produce an "artificial overlap ...
283. Indra's Theft of the Sun-God's Wheel [Journals] [Aeon]
... parallel to the Vedic tradition of Indra setting near the Sun: "What time thou settest near the Sun thy body, thy form, Immortal One, is seen expanding." And, if Mars' association with disturbances of the Sun is surprising in these early astronomical texts, it is no more surprising than it is to find that Babylonian scribes expressly identified the Sun in these omen texts with the planet Saturn! (94) These anomalous traditions of a disturbance of the Sun associated with the planet Mars demand an explanation. It is our contention, of course, that such reports preserve an actual historical reminiscence- albeit one that is typically couched in mythical language- of ...
... Nefer-ka Ptah won a game, spoke a formula, laid the checkerboard upon Setna's head and made him sink into the ground up to his hips. On the third time, he made him sink up to his ears; then Setna cried aloud for his brother, who saved him. There is also a Finnish folktale which repeats the well-known Babylonian story of Etana and the Eagle. [n2 See M. Haavio, Der Etanamythos in Finnland (1955), pp. 8-12; also S. Langdon, The Legend of Etana and the Eagle (1932), pp. 46-50.] Here, instead of the King, it is the "Son of the Widow" ...
285. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , Ashuruballit' is conventionally considered to be either the Assyrian king who ruled before 1430BC, or the one who ruled 1400-1391 (or 1390-1381) [Moran p. 40 n. 9]. So would-be revisionists, when they down-date the Amarna period, must also down-date this Assyrian king. Worse still, the Amarna letters include those from Babylonian kings Kadashman-Enlil and Burnaburiash, with the Hittite king Suppiluliumas thrown in for good measure. It does not help matters that Burnaburiash claims Ashuruballit is his vassal: i.e . Babylonia is ruling over Assyria. To down-date all these correspondents has proved extremely difficult and most would probably accept that Velikovsky, Courville, James and Rohl have not ...
... " of Quetzalcoatl-whose name means "the plumed serpent," and whose feathers are acknowledged to signify "flames of fire." The serpent or dragon is one of the most universal glyphs for the "comet" in the ancient world. Other serpent or dragon figures that Velikovsky identifies with the Venus-comet include the Greek Typhon, Egyptian Set, Babylonian Tiamat, Hindu Vrtra-all of whom, in highly vivid accounts, raged in the sky and brought overwhelming destruction to the world. The Greek word comet comes from coma, meaning "hair." Ancient astronomers referred to comets as stars with "hair" or with a "beard." But Venus, too, apparently possessed a ...
287. Neo-Assyrians and Achaemenids – A Test of Beards [Journals] [SIS Review]
... against the former were identical with those of Assuruballit I against the latter, making the two Assuruballits, supposedly separated in time by 750 years, the same person. Assyrian history had been artificially duplicated and extended. In reality, it had started no earlier than 700 BC, and much of what we now believe to be Assyrian (and Babylonian) history was actually that of the Achaemenids. Thus, Darius was not simply influenced by Hammurabi; he was Hammurabi. Similarly, he and his successors did not just copy aspects of Neo-Assyrian art and culture, they were the Neo-Assyrians [14]. In Britain, these ideas were developed by Emmet Sweeney, who claimed in his ...
288. Hereditary Monarchy in Assyria and the Assyrian Kinglist [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... still be supported, based on cultural and linguistic continuity. This is generally true throughout Europe, a region that also shares a common culture and essentially cognate tongues. But now we pass through the extensive period of Roman rule, and cross the threshold of the modern age and enter the Hellenistic world. Our journey carries on through Persian, Babylonian, Assyrian, and back to ancient Sumerian times. This last sequence represents an entirely different cultural-linguistic continuum. The slender thread of cultural-linguistic continuity with the west has been entirely severed. Can we now be as certain of the concept of hereditary monarchy as we are in the England of 1982? What explicit evidence exists to support such a ...
289. Calendars [Journals] [Kronos]
... of Tanitic, Persian, Macedonian, and Roman domination of Egypt- does not of course preclude that these schematic months were inspired by a much earlier state of affairs: Velikovsky has argued that from the fourteenth century to the ninth or eighth century the lunar months really did average 30 days rather than 29 l/2 days.) The Babylonian calendar in the centuries just prior to the beginning of this era was of the type called luni-solar: it combined months that were strictly lunar (the first visibility of the crescent Moon marked the first day of each new lunar month) with a variable year that averaged out to the same length as the tropical year. The twelve months ...
290. The Twelfth Planet: by Zecharia Sitchin [Journals] [Kronos]
... stellar system is a body of Jovian size which orbits the sun clockwise (in a direction opposite to that of the other solar satellites) and has a distendedly elliptical path, with its perihelion in the asteroid belt and its aphelion about twelve times as far away as Pluto. The reason why we do not observe this planet, which the Babylonians called Marduk, is that its period of revolution is 3,600 years - a fact which combines with its planetary number to explain the traditional tenacity of sexagesimal counting. About the time when the solar system developed, Marduk struck the fourth planet, Tiamat (known to ancient Mesopotamians as the dragon of the deep and the mother of ...
