... can ignore its role'. Daniel J. Hillel [1 ] According to conventional chronology, the so-called Sumerian civilisation, located in the southern Mesopotamian desert plain between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers (present-day southern Iraq), was established around 2900BC. There it reigned for almost a millennium and then was ruled in turn by the Akkadians and Babylonians, paying tribute to its conquerors. Prior to its rise it apparently had a rich prehistory during the Ubaid period that covered the fourth millennium BC. The cities in that southern area are believed to have been well populated for almost 3,000 years; they were highly productive in agricultural crops and supported large herds of sheep whose wool ...
542. Letter to the Editor from W. T. Black [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... record was an account of two floods- Noah's Flood "superimposed," so to speak, onto a much more ancient description of a far earlier flood. As we all know, there were once two Hebrew kingdoms, Israel and Judah. separate but intimately related. Then "The Ten Lost Tribes" were taken into captivity by the Babylonians. Afterwards religious books, legends, and traditions of the two kingdoms were compiled into what is now the Old Testament. That is why we have two accounts of creation, even two accounts of the combined flood and of many other events. I personally believe the Flood in Genesis combines two stories; the same thing in Greece produced ...
543. The Calendar of Coligny [Journals] [Horus]
... the 19-year Sun-Moon cycle. Though the actual device itself as it existed at Stonehenge was unique, the calendar format it embodied is not. The 19year cycle wherein specific Moon phases are repeated on the same days of the year every 19 years has, at one time or another, formed the basis of calendar systems for numerous civilizations. The Babylonians, the Hindus, the Jews, the Greeks and the Romans each employed the scheme at some point in their history; in fact, several of these are still in use at the present time. Since the 19-year cycle is a universal celestial phenomenon, it is natural that well-defined, fundamental similarities will be found between calendar systems based ...
544. The Many Faces Of Venus - The Planet Venus in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... images. By this stage the 8-pointed star and the rosette are acknowledged as special symbols of the planet Venus. In Mesoamerica astronomers were obsessed by Venus which was again portrayed as a 4 pointed star, often set within a disc and associated with the orb-in-circle image. The planet was also portrayed as a 5-pointed star by the Maya and the Babylonians. In China and Australia, Venus was referred to as a flower' star. Cochrane concludes that a consideration of the Saturn Theory leads to an explanation for these images: Venus was at one time seen as a star with radiant streamers, or a flower set upon the face of the primordial sun', which was at that ...

546. Heinsohn's Revised Chronology & Lynn Rose's Retrocalculations [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... to the -3rd millennium and called "Chaldeans"). George Bass is a brilliant scholar, but I bet he has never questioned the accepted chronology. Dendrochronology or C14 dating can't change the basic stratigraphical sequence that's found in the ancient near east. And that sequence shows that beneath the -1st millennium Hellenistic layers are found -2nd millennium "Old Babylonian" strata in Mesopotamia, and "Middle Assyrian" layers in Assyria. Heinsohn identifies both as Persian period, and that brings virtually all of ancient civilization down to under -1200. There is no physical evidence that requires a longer chronology.

548. Martian Metamorphoses [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... human sacrifices. What is there about this distant speck of light that could inspire such bizarre conceptions culminating in ritual murder? And how do we account for the fact that virtually identical beliefs are to be found around the globe, in the New World as well as the Old? The present book will seek to address such questions. In Babylonian astronomical texts, for example, the planet Mars is routinely identified with the war-god Nergal. We will have reason to examine the cult of Nergal in great detail, arguing that it is impossible to understand the traditions surrounding this god apart from ancient conceptions surrounding the red planet. The cult of Nergal, in turn, will serve as ...
549. New Chronology of the World History [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... concentrates mainly of the development of mathematical statistical tools and their applications to astronomical data: dating of ancient eclipses, dating of Almagest etc. The problems of correct dating for ancient and medieval events are discussed. The second volume concentrates on the analysis of ancient and medieval chronicles and records (such as Egyptian, Byzantine, Roman, Greek, Babylonian, European etc.). A wealth of historical data is considered. The conclusions which are drawn concerning the accepted chronological dating of events in ancient history will certainly provoke controversy and serious debate. The author suggested a new chronology which is dramatically different from the traditional one. For example, new short chronology place ancient Rome and Greece ...
550. Worknotes on the Joshua Impact Event [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Murshilish I (Musili I)is deafened by the explosion of Thera as a child, and takes the throne in 1604 BC. [The dating used here follows the Hittite scholar Michael Astour's sequence of dates (Hittite History and Absolute Chronology of the Bronze Age, page 2), but adjusted back by 64 years using the middle chronology Babylonian astronomical cycle observation. The dates thus arrived at coincide very well with those independently arrived at from the ice cores for the Thera explosion and Joshua.] Murshilish I marches on Babylon in 1595 BC. On his way home Murshilish I is attacked and defeated by the Hurrians. There is a treaty (KUB XXXVI 106+ KBo IX ...
