... III, who was actually a grandson of the Hittite Suppiluliumas, was the King of Hatti who threatened much of northern Syria during the final years of Akhnaton. The reader will then discover how a rebellion of Shalmaneser's Assyrian vassals under the leadership of his son Sardanapalus weakened the Medes so much that they were compelled to seek an alliance with the Babylonians, an alliance apparently cemented by the marriage of Shalmaneser's son Shamshi-Adad to the famous Queen Semiramis. For decades, the Medes were in a state of almost continual war with Lydia, and the record of this protracted struggle is preserved in both the Boghaz-koi texts and the royal inscriptions of Assyria, two sets of documents supposedly separated in time ...
522. Comptinology and Tohu-bohu [Books] [de Grazia books]
... pole [of the Exodus, see my Moses book]; electrical conditions are charging up, building up, and time is propitious to rituals on mountain-tops. Also women in Greece jump over the flames of kindled bonfires crying "I leave my sins behind me." Compare with "Cow jumped over the Moon" (Sinn) [Babylonian word for Moon.] The sexuality of the poem is subliminal. Compare, for example, the bowl and spoon, the Leyden jar, and the lingam and yoni of ancient Hindu symbolism. The fear and delight of the first experiences with the Leyden Jar (see Heilbron's history of electricity and God's Fire) can be associated with ...
523. The Hyksos Pyramid Builders [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... 6th Dynasties; and this was dramatically confirmed by the discovery of a series of alabaster vases, of apparently Egyptian manufacture, and inscribed with the name of the Akkadian King Naram-Sin. The vases, described as `booty of Magan, ' have caused considerable excitement because `Magan was a name undoubtedly applied to Egypt in a later period of Babylonian history, and the vases have a distinct likeness to Egyptian alabaster vases, which more commonly bear inscriptions in the late Fifth and in the Sixth Dynasties, the dates of which accord well enough with that of Naram-Sin.1 In fact both Naram-Sin and his grandfather Sargon refer to the subjugation of Magan and Meluhha (the latter usually identified ...
524. Poleshift [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... would be reflected in the onset of the growing season. The older growing season would begin earlier and after about -1,500 it would begin later. This indeed appears to be the case. The following, however, is based on the accepted ancient chronology: "Another type of record of the early historical period are the inscriptions on Babylonian tablets during two periods: 1,800 to 1,650 B.C ., and 600 to 400 B.C . Ninety tablets dated to the latter period give an indirect indication of the time of the barley harvests. Barley was used as currency in exchange for goods; the tablets detail who paid how much barley during ...
525. The Chaldeans of Sumer [Journals] [Aeon]
... . "The Mesopotamian flood story, for example, is paralleled by the story of Deucalion. This dragon-slaying theme in Mesopotamian myth has its counterparts in such Greek tales as those of Jason and Herakles Plagues sent as punishment by the gods also figure in the mythology of Greece and Mesopotamia. And there is a marked resemblance between the Greek and Babylonian netherworlds-both of which were gloomy places separated from the realm of the living by an ominous river across which the dead were ferried. Similarly, the Greek dirge-or elegy for the dead-seems to have its forerunners in two Sumerian compositions, recently translated from a tablet in Moscow's Pushkin Museum. Even the form of the Greek epic, the medium that ...
526. Amenophis, Osarsiph and Arzu. More on the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Siptah's 6 years in between Seti II and Setnakht. It is true that Egyptian historical claims are not to be trusted; for example, Herodotus was given a version of the XXVIth Dynasty that failed to mention such "minor" details as that Psammetich was a puppet of Assyria or that the rebellion of Amasis was backed by an invasion of Babylonian troops. If, however, they coincide with Scriptural testimony and Assyrian records, they must be accepted, even if the historian is baffled as a result. If the facts contradict the theory, so much the worse for the theory. References I. Velikovsky, Worlds in Collision, p. 229 (2 :2 ). ...
527. Geology And Archaeology. Ch.13 Collapsing Schemes (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... opinion in some instances is so complete that one or the other must assuredly be wrong."4 Those who measure the time in terms of cultural or physical anthropology and archaeology stand in very definite opposition to all estimates based on a geological or a paleontological time scale. As an additional argument the archaeologist points to pictures of extinct animals in Babylonian and Egyptian bas reliefs, the bones of which have actually been found. And the anthropologist believes that even oral traditions concerning extinct animals are grounds for far-reaching conclusions. "Archaeology has proved that the American Indian hunted and killed elephants; it has also strongly indicated that these elephants have been extinct for several thousand years. This means that ...
528. The Hittites in Israel [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ; "Thy birth and thy nativity [i .e . historical origins] is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite" (Ezekiel 16:3 ). But... .. . "Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, .. . the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: .. ." (Ezekiel 23:22-3). [Emphasis added] If the Hittites were part of the Chaldean Empire, as Velikovsky claims, it is strange that Ezekiel omits them, as he clearly knows who they ...
529. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... was arranged, unavoidably, only at the last minute. ANCIENT HISTORY STUDY GROUP The last meeting of the Ancient History Study Group was held at the home of Mrs. Morgan, in Dulwich on Sunday, 10 August. Peter James gave the address on this occasion and supplemented his talk by distributing a number of sheets giving relevant information from Babylonian and Assyrian historical texts. The group were made aware of the problems concerning Velikovsky's revised chronology arising out of the seemingly unassailable coherence of the Assyrian King Lists. Owing to an abundance of synchronisms between Assyria and Babylon, and also synchronisms arising out of the El-Amarna letters, it was difficult to establish any point of weakness in the orthodox ...
530. Akhnaten, Aten, and Venus Reconsidered [Journals] [Pensee]
... opposed to the standard portrayal of the sun's rays in a 360 degree sweep?(5 ) Why does the Hymn to Aten say that Aten rises "like the living Sun"?(6 )-one does not normally say that the sun rises like the sun. Is there not a similarity between the Hymn to Aten and the Babylonian psalms to Ishtar- a goddess associated with Venus(7 )? Why were Akhnaten's successors so excessively over-reactive in their vindictiveness to Aten?(8 ) Could the open temples of Aten have been for nighttime observation and worship?(9 ) And finally, are there any linguistic and cosmological relationships between the name Aten and that of the ...
