553. The Amarna Age - an Introduction [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... so shown only for purposes of historical record? The foreign policy of the Amarna period has been preserved for us in a highly detailed way, with a large number of tablets found written in Akkadian cuneiform. These are of two main kinds - letters from the Great Kings of the north (the Hittites and other Anatolians, Mitanni, and Babylonians) to "their brother" the king of Egypt. The other kind is from petty city rulers, mostly begging for assistance. They describe a group called Habiru (sa gaz in Akkadian) who are seen as brigands threatening trade, capturing cities and killing rulers. Was this a real disaster caused by lack of vigorous foreign policy ...
554. Horizons [Journals] [SIS Review]
... period almost as long as in the conventional chronology. Physicist GEORGE TALBOTT, better known for his work on the Venus "hothouse model", tries his hand at Egyptology in a provocative article on "Pharaoh Seti and his Foreign Connections", Part One of a series promising to show comparisons between the cosmogony of Seti I's cenotaph and the Babylonian Epic of Creation. Readers will await with curiosity the evidence to support his spirited attack on Egyptologists' interpretations of their source material and the promised parallels between the Mesopotamian epic and the XIXth Dynasty cenotaph, which Talbott implies have implications for Velikovsky's placement of Seti I in the 7th century (which he does not question).** ...
555. Our Universe: Unlocking its Mysteries [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... could this be when there is no star or planet closer to earth than our moon to form such a configuration? And most importantly, why do so many disparate and far flung ancient cultures, peoples who could never have been in contact with one another, such as the Sumerians, Egyptians, Chinese, Native American Indians, Mayans, Babylonians, Australian Aboriginals, and many others, all tell the same story and draw similar pictures. Planets in the Northern sky: If these ancient writings were based on valid observations rather than fantasy, what do they tell us? Cochrane, Cardona, and Talbott theorize that Earth formerly moved in an assembly of planets having no resemblance to ...
556. The Creation of the Earth -- General Remarks [Books]
... this in its proper place. Before we enter into the discussion of the creation accounts in the Book of Genesis, let me stress that in order to get at their factual content it is not permissible to consider them by themselves and judge them solely on their own merits. Nor is it permissible to consider them only in connection with the Babylonian story, in spite of their probably close relationship with it. The matter of the first chapters of the Book of Genesis consists of cosmogonic myths and these should be compared with all similar myths which have come down to us, no matter from which people in which part of the Earth. The creation of the world' is necessarily ...
557. Saturn And Genesis [Journals] [Kronos]
... 171) proposed "the idea that Saturn was a steady' or permanent' mock-sun - performing the same function of furnishing light at night that Sama's [Shamash - the Sun] performed during the day." Furthermore, there is undeniable evidence that the concept of a "night-sun" as well as a "day-sun" existed in ancient Babylonian astrological thought. The latter was viewed as the greater and the former the lesser of the "two chief lights of the heaven, one to serve during the day and the other at night" (Ibid., pp. 171-172). A colleague of Jastrow, Prof. J.A . Montgomery, therefore raised "the ...

... that appears to confirm Velikovsky and Bimson's link between the Israelite Conquest of Canaan and the end of the Middle Bronze Age in Palestine. Geophysical evidence from Israel for the "commotion" (earthquake) in the reign of the 8th-century king Uzziah. How valid are the claims that Claudius Ptolemy faked his data on ancient eclipses and his list of Babylonian kings; and how much does Assyrian chronology depend on Ptolemy and other astronomical data? Swedish ancient historian Carl Olof Jonsson assesses the evidence for the basis of ancient Mesopotamian chronology. Dr Earl Milton (physicist, Lethbridge University, Canada), takes a radical look at the validity of the dating methods presently used in geology and astronomy. ...

... full of water' which thereupon overflowed and caused the deluge. In some mythologies the sun' is mentioned as causing a flood by becoming immersed in the sea-the Moon obviously being meant (Note 55), so the natives of Raiatea, ' one of the Leeward Islands, and the Fuegians of southernmost South America. According to Jewish and Babylonian mythology the, or rather, a great flood' hence identifiable as the capture flood' took place on the (first) full-moon day. That the great flood catastrophe took place under the full moon phase is also reported in the myths of the Amis of Formosa and the natives of the Pelew Islands. A myth of the Jews makes ...
