... on his authority but because of several clues supplied by Genesis. "Several members of Abraham's family- including his brothers Haran and Nahor- had names almost identical to the names of towns in the Aramean region. Other names, including Abraham and Jacob, were simply variations of Amorite personal names. The customs of the Patriarchs described in the Bible are also of this region in northern Mesopotamia."(12) This would explain why, in later times, Israelite schoolchildren were taught to commence the recital of their nation's history with the words: "A wandering Aramean was my father."(13) If this view is correct, Abram and his family could have been ...
162. Catastrophes: the Diluvial Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... great winter could occur, bringing protracted heavy rainfall and causing devastating floods, such as that of Deucalion [6 , 7]. Renaissance and Restoration Times When Christianity was established in Europe, the Church exercised almost complete control over academic thought for many centuries. At this time, it would have been heretical to deny the testimony of the Bible, that the Earth was only a few thousand years old, being created around 4004BC, and that there had been a single major cataclysm, the Deluge in the time of Noah. In the early 16th century it was still generally accepted that all marine fossils found inland had been carried there by Noah's Flood, although Leonardo da Vinci ...
163. Chronological Placements of the Dynasties of Manetho [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as an attorney with the US National Science Foundation. He has argued in articles in C&CR, C&CW, JACF, Epigraphic Society Occasional Papers, Discussions in Egyptology and elsewhere that the Egyptian and other cross-dated chronologies are seriously flawed. He is especially interested in researching the origins of literate civilisation and assessing the historicity of the Bible. Summary Based on Manetho, 31 mostly consecutive dynasties are thought to have ruled Egypt, many of these assumed to have ruled all of Egypt, even though his epitomes associate them with particular cities and do not specifically attribute consecutive or central rule to them. By erroneously assigning to earlier dynasties some Persian or Ptolemaic period epigraphic material written ...
164. A Chronology for the Middle Kingdom and Israel's Egyptian Bondage [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is there any way in which an alternative chronology could be erected as a working hypothesis? In the present article, I will begin to sketch out a chronology for the Middle Kingdom based on synchronisms with biblical history. If points of contact can be established between biblical history and the history of Egypt's Middle Kingdom, the chronology offered by the Bible for the former may be used to fix the latter. In the course of the following discussion, which I will continue in a second article, a great deal of support will emerge for Velikovsky's view that the Middle Kingdom was the time of Israel's sojourn in Egypt. We begin with an attempt to discover the time of Joseph. ...
165. Ras Shamra (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... composed of a number of gods; Baal was one of them, but the supreme deity was El.34 The land of the Canaanites is sometimes called "the whole land of El", and the supremacy of this deity (" no one can change that which El has fixed"), known by the same name in the Bible as the Lord of the Israelites, is regarded as "a clear indication of a monotheistic tendency in the Canaanite religion".35 However, besides El being not the sole but the chief god, he is described in the Ras Shamra texts in Homeric terms strange to the Old Testament: "El laughs with his whole heart and ...
166. A possible connection between the Aztec Sun Stone and western civilisations [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is too little to allow any definite conclusions but the image in fig. 4 does suggest a connection between the Sun Stone and western civilisations. It is interesting to note that, on the other side of the Atlantic (or Pacific), evidence can be found showing a connection with the Aztec calendar and some is also found in the Bible. This evidence is constituted by figures that are strictly associated with the calendar. Our starting point was that the Aztec calendar, represented in the Sun Stone, is based on the 128 year astronomical cycle. This is the most perfect calendar conceivable and is extremely simple in principle. You can have an indefinite account of the time, ...
167. Cyrus The Mardian/amardian Dethroner Of The -6th Century Medes And Aziru The Martu/amurru (Amorite) Dethroner Of The -14th Century Mitanni [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... in defending the imperial dimension of Ninos-Assyrians, Medes, and Achaemenids on the basis of hard evidence, i.e ., epigraphy and stratigraphy. I am not adding or subtracting any stratum that was excavated in the last 150 years or any period that was reported by the Greeks more than two millennia ago. I am merely giving up Bible fundamentalist dates of Ancient History which replaced the Greek dates as early as the + 2nd century. Herodotus' four historical periods from the Bronze Age to the advent of Alexander the Great, lost Herodotus' and later Greek historians' dates ( -1150 to -330) because at that time, Jewish and Christian chronographers established what today is ...
168. The Foundations of the Assyro-Babylonian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Babylonian Chronicle assigns three years to Ukinzer and two years to Pulu (the Chronicle has "Tiglath-Pileser"). Ptolemy's kinglist puts both kings together and gives them a combined reign of five years. That Pulu (Ptolemy's Canon has a corrupted form, "Porou") is identical with Tiglath-Pileser has been established since the last century. The Bible uses both names, see 2 Kings 15:19, 29. A-4: Shalmaneser V: Ptolemy's kinglist calls him "Ululai", indicating it is following the Babylonian King List A, which has "Ululaia", while the Babylonian Chronicle has "Shalmaneser". A-6: Sargon II: At this point the Chronicle is damaged ...
169. Eden's Flaming Sword by Isaac Vail [Books]
... indeed will not concede that we must read the past history of this planet by the known condition of the worlds about us. I will claim more than this, for before this volume ceases to be read, a host of men and women will join me in the claim that he who made Saturn a teacher of geology made it a bible teacher too. It is now a well-established belief among astronomers and physicists that satellites or moons are formed in the breaking up of the cuter rings of a world, and I here hypothesize that while this rupture of rings is in progress at the outer bounds of an Annular System, the inner rings, one by one, are swinging ...
170. The Two Major Censuses in the Book of Numbers [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the word would have been forgotten (we have only to look at our own language to see many examples of this) and the word would have been used with a wider meaning- for captain in general, irrespective of the exact number of men under his command. Confusing Usage of Eleph as "Thousands"There are occasions in the Bible where eleph has been translated as "thousands" but where an alternative meaning such as "family" or "leader" of a "clan" or some such social group would improve the sense: Numbers 1:16 These were the renowned of the congregation, princes of the tribes of their fathers, heads of thousands in Israel ...
