... of Solomon according to the conventional chronology and represents the high point in Iron Age culture. But Iron IC does not even begin to measure up to the picture of prosperity and power given in the Scriptural narratives recording Solomon's reign. Concerning the period of the United Monarchy in general, Kenyon writes: "Its glories are triumphantly recorded in the Bible, and the recollection of them profoundly affected Jewish thought and aspirations. Yet the archaeological evidence for the period is meagre in the extreme."(44) Of the reign of Solomon in particular, Kenyon writes: "Archaeology has therefore provided us with little direct evidence of the glories of Solomon's court, and has shown that, ...
... nation came back after Babylon was captured (in -538) by Cyrus the Persian. Additional groups returned to Palestine during the following century. Alexander the Great conquered Palestine on his way to Egypt in -333. Although Egypt and Palestine are closely neighboring countries, the truth is that there is in Egypt singularly little evidence which bears directly on the Bible narrative".4 The Scriptures tell of the sojourn of Israel in Egypt and of the Exodus; but no documents referring to these events have been found. There is no scriptural mention of Egypt during the time of the Judges. However, in the days of the Kings, Palestine repeatedly came into contact with Egypt-mostly through being attacked ...
143. The el-Amarna Letters (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... other evidences of preceding or following periods. It should be demonstrated with respect to the letters themselves. Besides the Scriptures and the el-Amarna tablets, two other sources relate to the time of King Jehoshaphat: the stele of King Mesha of Moab and the inscriptions of the Assyrian king, Shalmaneser III. These relics, too, and not the Bible alone, must correspond to the contents of the el-Amarna letters, if it is true that Egyptian history must be revised and moved forward more than half a thousand years. 1. The translations into German are by Hugo Winckler and by J. A. Knudtzon. The work of the last-named Scandinavian scientist is of classical value for the ...
144. The Case for Retaining a Dark Age at the end of the Late Bronze Age. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Syria-Palestine after the end of Dynasty 19 and the collapse of Egyptian control over the region. In a dream the god Ptah appeared to Merneptah in the form and shape of a scimitar. At Yazilikaya in the Hittite heartlands there is a depiction of a sword god, at roughly the same period - the Late Bronze Age. In the Bible a sword is depicted standing above Jerusalem - in the reign of David. The comet was a symbol of disharmony in the natural world and was thought to have a connection with famine and pestilence. Another barometer of abnormality in the natural world is tree rings and a cluster of very cold years between 1159-45BC appears to mark the event that ...

146. Khima and Kesil [Journals] [SIS Review]
... dawn "that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it". The Lord asks Job: "Canst thou bind the chains [fetters] of Khima or loosen the reins of Kesil? Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in its season .. .? " The Cambridge Bible wonders at the meaning of this passage. Like the King James version it translates Pleiades for Khima, and Orion for Kesil. Mazzaroth is left untranslated. In Amos (5 :8 ) once more Khima and Kesil are mentioned in a verse that reveals the great acts of the Lord who "maketh Khima and Kesil, and turneth ...
147. The Invisible College by Robert Lomas (Book review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... bunch. The view of the author is that prior to the establishment of the Royal Society, science had been dominated by religion and was suppressed by theological arguments that took precedence in all avenues of intellectual endeavour. The Church had a monopoly on thinking and it already knew God's truth, which had been divinely revealed in the pages of the Bible. Any investigator into the natural world that challenged them was a heretic and could be punished or banned. In the middle of the 17th century this attitude changed completely. From that moment onwards science began to grow. According to Lomas, Freemasonry was the Invisible College that preceded the Royal Society and its early members were almost all practising ...
148. Were Abraham, Joseph, and Moses Located in the Old Kingdom? (Letter) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... better to use the conventional chronology, especially in order to clarify these themes. Abraham The historical background of Abraham's time does not fit the First Dynasty (c . 3050-2859 B.C .) . The time also is much too long from then to the conquest of Canaan (c . 1200 B.C .) . From the Bible we do not learn the important information that Abraham taught the Egyptians mathematics and astronomy. How could Josephus know these unknown things? He lived about 3000 years after the First Dynasty. Abraham's historical background better fits the nineteenth century in Mesopotamia. Joseph In this case it must also be said that Joseph's historical background does not fit the Old ...

... surprise by the deluge and to have instinctively sought the high places. All these features are amply borne out by the various myths quoted in this book. Here we shall only give one report, a magnificent description of the various phases of the mad rush to safety. It was considered so important that we find it included twice in the Bible (2 Samuel xxii and Psalms xviii). A general report of the cataclysm. (4 ) The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. ' (5 ) The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. ' (7 ) Then the Earth shook ...
150. Legends and Scripture [Books] [de Grazia books]
... a modern mnemologist, Critias declared that although he had forgotten much of what he had heard of the previous day's discussions, he had forgotten none of what he had learned as a child about Atlantis. The Atlantis story is generally disbelieved, yet if an educated unbeliever were to compare it with the story of the Deluge of Noah in the Bible, it would appear to be just as (im)plausible. It is no less specific. The "author" of one is Plato, of the other, Moses; who is more reliable? True, Atlantis is no longer to be found, above or below the sea, and therefore presumed not to have sunk; ...
