... activity, wars and peace treaties of empires and kingdoms are allocated to centuries according to the rule of Egyptian chronology. When a document is unearthed which records the relations of some king with a pharaoh of a certain dynasty, the time of the king becomes fixed because the date of the pharaoh is known. The succession of the Assyrian and Babylonian kings with the dates of their reigns is studied with the help of the so-called king-lists but is constantly being adjusted to comply with Egyptian dates wherever a synchronism is assumed. Thus the lawmaker king Hammurabi of the First Babylonian Dynasty, who for a long time was placed in about -2100, in recent decades has been transferred to about -1700 ...
392. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... those available in English, may I introduce some other points of view, mostly based on the findings of German scholars? a) E. J. Sweeney: Abraham in Egypt There is plentiful evidence, typified by John van Seters[1 ], to show that the entire material concerning Abraham was added only after the return from the Babylonian exile to the body of Jewish legends that we now describe as the Bible. As early as the beginning of this century it was in fact shown that Abraham was not a real person. Eduard Meyer[2 ] wrote in 1906 that Abraham and Sarai were a typical couple of Middle Eastern divinities, like Ishtar-Tammuz, Inanna-umuzi, Aphrodite-Dionysos ...
393. The Twenty-One Years of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... specialist in cuneiform philology, and Schoch, a mathematician specializing in retrocalculation, got together as a team in order to examine these tablets from every conceivable angle. All the astronomical factors that could have affected the observations were considered, and so were all the textual factors that could explain any juggling of the figures. The conclusion was that some Babylonian astronomers took great pain in observing and reporting the risings and settings of Venus through a specific period of twenty-one years. But, on the main problem which had caused the launching of the investigation, namely, the irregularity of the reported movements of Venus, the volume (published in 1928), which is thick with facts and figures ...
394. 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 ...
395. Were the "Sumerians of the Third Millennium" in Reality the Chaldeans of the First Millennium? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... to form local, independent statelets and to enter short-term and not always effective coalitions" (ibid. 295),thus displaying a type of behavior also richly in evidence in the "Sumerian" = Chaldean sources. And as there is firm evidence of a close amalgamation of the "Sumerians of the 3rd millennium" with the so-called early Babylonian Semites, it can be no surprise that the Chaldeans existed in close communion with the truly documented Neo-Babylonian Semites, even providing- from about 625 to 539 B.C .- the kings in Babylon in some cases (cf. also Wiseman). IV. The mention of "so-called Early Babylonians" along with the "Sumerians ...
396. The Great Father [Books]
... excellence, as well as Atum, Khepera, Ptah, and Amen. The fact which must be explained is that the memory of the creator-king and his original age of abundance was far broader than any local tradition. And the story was not limited to Egypt. According to the theologian and historian Eusebius (who relates the account of the Babylonian priest-historian Berossus), the ancient tribes of Chaldea owed their civilization to a powerful and benevolent figure named Oannes, who ruled before the Deluge. Prior to Oannes, the tribes lived "without order, like the beasts." But the new god-king, who issued from the sea, instructed mankind in writing and various arts, the ...
397. Saturn's Children [Books] [de Grazia books]
... fate. After leaving its infinitely complex imprint upon Earth and mankind, Saturn exploded in a nova or collision; a deluge fell upon the Earth; and Jupiter became king of the heavenly hosts. From David Talbott we summarize more of the abundant material. For the ancients "it was Saturn who introduced the day...what the Babylonians called Saturn's coming forth in splendor' signified the beginning of the archaic day. ' Saturn dominated the night and competed with the sunlight during the day. Mythical records are unanimous in saying that Saturn, during his reign, stood in the north.... The Egyptian Ra, Osiris, Horus...the Mesopotamian Ninurta ...
398. On Comets, Comet-Like Luminous Apparitions and Meteors [Journals] [Kronos]
... scattered sparks in multitude; even in such guise sped Pallas Athene to earth, and leapt into their midst; and astonishment came to them that beheld, . . ." [translator's note]. An important reference to such a celestial appearance, a "Great Star" (kakkabu rabū),(8 ) is preserved in a Babylonian prophecy: When a Great Star begins to shine while traveling from a northern to a southern direction, and when it has a tail like a scorpion while it shines, then the pregnant shall abort their fruit. "This," Jastrow writes, "is not from the series Enuma Anu Enlil. This is according to a commemorative ...
399. The Tomb Of King Ahiram. Ch. 3. (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... boast of his knowledge of Hebrew. The generally accepted conclusion is that Hebrew words were acquired by the Egyptians from the natives of Canaan and that the population of pro-Israelite Palestine, sometimes said to have been of Hamitic stock (see Genesis 9:18), spoke Semitic Hebrew. This conclusion, implied by the Hebrew words inserted in the Babylonian texts of the el-Amarna letters written from Palestine, has been regarded as indisputable since the discovery of the Ras Shamra texts, The conclusion that the population of pre-Israelite Canaan not only spoke Hebrew but must also have had speedy scribes writing in this language has been avoided, though it follows from Hori's text: Hori used the Hebrew words sofer ...
400. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... archaeoastronomy provides strong support for the conclusion that Inanna's star was indeed the planet Venus. Other aspects of the iconography surrounding Inanna/Ishtar also support her identification with Venus. Very early on, for example, the goddess appears alternately with beard, horns and armed as a warrior, the very same characteristics associated with the planet Venus in ancient Babylonian astronomical records [10]. Such correspondences suggest a continuity between the Babylonian astronomical records involving Venus and the earliest cult of Inanna/Ishtar. Like it or not, the traditions surrounding the planet Venus remain remarkably consistent from the earliest historical period to the dawn of astronomy. And throughout this period glaring anomalies attend the iconographical and mythological ...
