... CXLV deals with the "gates", the twenty one gates of the "god with a motionless heart". Even allowing for translation difficulties of the kind already discussed, these works together with The Book of Gates and Central Hall architecture make a fully coherent picture. It is also, in great measure, the picture of creation in Babylonian and Assyrian civilization. The eight Hermopolitan figures, using my own transliterations of the hieroglyphics in conformity to conventional rules, are called Nu, Nut, Hehu, Hehut, Kekui, Kekuit, and the nocturnal figures, Gereh and Gerehet. This final pair is sometimes given the hieroglyphics corresponding to Amen and Amenet, evidently the figures of ...
362. Twelfth Or Fourth Century?. Part I Ch.1 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... the first quarter of the seventh century. Arsames The Persian motifs on the tiles of Ramses III direct our inquiry to the Persian period of Egyptian history. The Persian time in the Near East began with Cyrus' victory over Croesus the Lydian ( -546), the capture of Babylon ( -539), and his inheritance of the Babylonian Empire. Cyrus' son Cambyses ( -530 to -521) subdued Egypt in -525. Darius ( -521 to -486), successor to Cambyses, made Thrace and Macedonia into Persian provinces and twice invaded Greece. On the second expedition his army was defeated at Marathon ( -490). He organized maritime trade and dug the ...
363. The Seven-Gated Thebes and The Hundred-Gated Thebes. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... later, built three new large temples, to Mont, to Mut, and to Amon. In the seventh century before the present era Assurbanipal, king of Assyria, sacked Thebes, reduced it to ruins, and threw down its statues; but only a few decades later the Assyrian capital, Nineveh, was stormed and burned by the Babylonians and the Medes, and the Prophet Nahum exclaimed: "Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? . . . Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers . . . ?" Nineveh did not rise from the ashes, but Thebes did. The Persians superseded the Babylonians, took Babylon, ...
364. Recent Developments In Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Hatti. Fairly soon after Assuruballit comes the main MA period with the kings Adad-nirari, Shalmaneser and Tukulti-Ninurta (all first of their names). These three powerful kings fill the 13th century on OC (there is a handy table of Assyrian kings in C&CR 2001:1 p. 65). Tukulti-Ninurta is famous for defeating the Babylonians under Kashtiliash IV (or perhaps III) and building a short-lived new capital just down river from Ashur, named Kar Tukulti-Ninurta. After Tukulti-Ninurta, Assyria declined somewhat until Tiglath-Pileser I at c.1100 BC (OC). Instead of placing Tushratta before the three powerful Assyrian kings, NC would place him after them. This also requires ...
365. Possible repercussions of 'The Bible Unearthed' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... disaster on the Romans. In the time of Josiah they had already witnessed a weakening of the Assyrian imperial system and a failure of its armies to terrorise Palestine, seemingly as a direct result of a natural disaster the Yahwists interpreted as an intervention by God. This would account for their complete folly a few years later of refusing to accept Babylonian suzerainty, sealing their fate, the subsequent conquest of Judah and the sack of Jerusalem. Perhaps they were expecting Yahweh to strike the Babylonians with a natural disaster similar to that assumed to have been inflicted by God on the Assyrians. It's a novel idea and might explain the otherwise futile act of rebellion. The authors also suggest that ...

367. Eastern Anatolia and Velikovsky's Chronological Revisions - II [Journals] [Kronos]
... Late in the seventh century B.C ., after two centuries of considerable glory and a long struggle with the Assyrians, Urartu became the prey of the Cimmerians and the Scythians who successively invaded the Armenian plateau, the former also destroying Phrygia. Assyria, itself, was crushed in 612 B.C . by a coalition of subject Babylonians and invading Medes. Then, sometime between 612 and 585, Urartu crumbled and the proto-Armenians - whom Herodotus calls a Phrygian colony(9 ) - entered in upon its ruins, blended with the natives, and eventually formed the Armenian people. During the same period, the entire plateau passed under Median rule and Anatolia became divided between ...
368. Sweeney responds to Crowe (Letter) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... John bases a large part of his criticism not on the contents of The Pyramid Age (which is barely mentioned) but on another book of mine on the Neo-Assyrians and Persians. Yet even here he has me saying something I didn't - and then criticises me for it! He claims that I have to explain why so many Hebrew and Babylonian texts referring to the growth of the Persian Empire and its eventual conquest of Assyria and Babylonia are simply wrong' and thereby gives the impression that I had denied the existence of the Persian (or perhaps the Assyrian and Babylonian) Empire. Again this completely misrepresents my opinion. The Medes and the Persians really did exist and they did ...
369. A Testing Time [Journals] [SIS Review]
... where the month lengths should be 30 days but which do not correspond. There are five mismatches in 1702, seven in 1582, but in the 1419 solution there are only two. (For technical reasons it can be argued that it is actually only one real miss'.) If Ammizaduga's Year 1 is taken as 1419BC, the Babylonian King Lists can be used to date Hammurabi to 1565 in the New Chronology. If Hammurabi of Babylon reigned from 1565, this can then be linked to Egypt via the archaeological synchronisms. According to the annals of Hammurabi, he sacked the palace of Zimrilim in Mari, so Zimrilim was a contemporary of Hammurabi in the latter's Year 35 ...
370. Psychology and Ancient Astronomical Discovery [Journals] [Kronos]
... outset of recorded Egyptian history we find mathematics highly developed; the design and construction of the Pyramids involved a precision of measurement impossible without considerable mathematical lore."(94) But, according to Neugebauer, Egyptian astronomy "remained through all its history on an exceedingly crude level...."(95) Referring to the Old Babylonian period, "about 1600 B.C ., " he writes that "no astronomical texts of any scientific significance exist from this period, while the mathematical texts show the highest level ever attained in Babylonia."(96) In early cultures, generally, scholars have noted similar discrepancies in apparent accuracy between astronomical and other systems ...
