... were unknown to Velikovsky' [2 ]) . But Velikovsky was insistent throughout that his ancient sources unequivocally identified the planets as the agents of destruction, and seemed to regard his unorthodox planetary physics as a major breakthrough rather than an awkward ad hoc measure. Spedicato also adduces a remarkable explanation of the special role of Venus and Mars in Babylonian records... given by Clube and Napier, in terms of orbital periods, commensurability between these planets and the comets Hencke and Halley' [3 ], and notes that, like Velikovsky, Clube and Napier claim that errors of centuries affect the traditional egyptian [sic] chronology. ' [4 ] In fact these two ...
482. The Two Babylons: The Great Red Dragon [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... whom the daughters of Israel lamented, in other words Nimrod. We have already seen the identity of Nimrod and Zoroaster. Now, Zoroaster was not only the head of the Chaldean Mysteries, but, as all admit, the head of the fire-worshippers.(see note below) The title given to Nimrod, as the first of the Babylonian kings, by Berosus, indicates the same thing. That title is Alorus, that is, "the god of fire." As Nimrod, "the god of fire," was Molk-Gheber, or, "the Mighty king," inasmuch as he was the first who was called Moloch, or King, and the first ...
483. A Collective Amnesia, Part 2 Mars Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... continents, a primeval chaos bombarded by flying hot stones, the roaring of the cleft earth, and the loud hissing of tornadoes of cinders. There occurred more than one world conflagration; the most horrible one was in the days of the Exodus. In hundreds of passages in their Bible, the Hebrews described what happened. Returning from the Babylonian exile in the sixth and fifth centuries befo re this era, the Hebrews did not cease to learn and repeat the traditions, but they lost sight of the fearful reality of what they learned. Apparently, the post-Exile generations looked upon all these descriptions as the poetical utterances of religious l iterature. The talmudists in the beginning of this ...
484. Ras Shamra (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... of a building, destroyed by human hand or by the unleashed forces of nature. The entire collection is written in cuneiform, in four different languages. Two of the languages were easily read: Sumerian, "the Latin" or the "dead language" of the scholars, and Akkadian, the tongue of business and politics in the Babylonian world. Business letters in Akkadian, commercial receipts, and orders were read. Two tablets very similar to those of the el-Amarna collection were also found,13 and with them the connection of Ras Shamra with Egypt at the end of the Eighteenth Dynasty was firmly established. Some large tablets are lexicons, bilingual and even trilingual. On ...
485. Fragments of Myths of Culture Heroes [Books]
... sonorous, like thunder. The motif of a culture-hero interested in the language of other survivors of the great cataclysm is found in several mythologies. Occasionally we are led to infer that these survivors were of very mixed race speaking quite a number of languages and that the culture-hero taught them his own speech to give them a common bond. The Babylonians tell of the god Oannes who appeared among the primitives referred to in their mythology and taught them a civilized life. Though he was of different race he was able to speak to them in a tongue which they could understand. The Egyptians tell of the god Thoth who taught articulate speech to the babbling barbarians whom he found in the ...

487. Out of the Desert? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... cultural collapse that was taking place throughout the Eastern Mediterranean at the end of the Bronze Age." Chapter I - Textual and archaeological evidence' - provides a useful summary of numerous anachronisms and discrepancies found in Old Testament texts from various sources, which were finally incorporated into the canonical version compiled under Josiah (639-608 BC) and during the Babylonian exile after 587 BC. Chapter II - Dating the Exodus and Settlement' - examines the implications of adopting dates for the Exodus of c.1440 BC and for the Conquest of c.1400 BC. Stiebing's assumption, in line with the conventional chronology, that this dating places both events in the Egyptian 18th Dynasty and the Late ...

489. Lisa Aaronson's Jerusalem Ancient History [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Jerusalem Ancient History? The Jerusalem Ancient History (JAH) is a revision of the history of the Bronze and Iron Ages in the ancient near east. This is the period beginning with the earliest urban settlement in the Land of Israel, and continuing up to the conquests of Alexander the Great (some sources end this period with either the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem under Nebuchadnezzar, or the Persian conquest of Babylon, but for our purposes, we have adopted the widest definition). Conventional history books give the beginning of the Bronze Age as anywhere from 4000 BCE to 3000 BCE. The JAH dates the beginning of the Bronze Age to after 2000 BCE. The basis of the ...

... must somehow be wrong astronomically, or refer to some Thirteenth Dynasty king" (p . 8). Mellaart's starting point is the unexceptional statement that: "The major problem for Near Eastern and Egyptian archaeologists alike is the establishment of a reliable chronology .. ." He points out that the controversy surrounding the absolute dating of the First Babylonian Dynasty, whose most important ruler was Hammurabi, has apparently been settled with the adherence of the majority of scholars to the "middle" chronology advocated by SYDNEY SMITH, and the abandonment of the previously accepted "high" chronology (although a substantial body of opinion favours the "low" chronology of W. F. ALBRIGHT) ...
