... of the Temple, dated to the very late reign of David. This explains why natural phenomena are not such a common feature of Kings and Chronicles, perhaps, and therefore we cannot say Ramses II was not Shishak just because such phenomena are not specifically mentioned in the late tenth and early ninth centuries B.C . (in the Bible) that we may identify with late dynasty XIX events. The LB catastrophes, however, must have left some impression upon the biblical scribes. Unlike stories such as Samson (derived, it seems, from Beth-shemesh), [8 ] a hero legend or historification of a local cult (shemesh) with features common to the Herakles ...
192. Did the Sumerians and the Akkadians Ever Exist? [Journals] [Aeon]
... two phases, one of the third millennium and one of the first millennium, or were attributed entirely to the third millennium at one archaeological site and to the first at another? This was essentially caused by the search for the Biblical patriarch Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees" (Genesis II:28). In the genealogy of the Bible, this Abraham is placed about 600 years before Moses and therefore "requires" strata which according to the accepted dates for Moses fluctuate between ca. 2100 and 1800 BCE. The most passionate of all seekers of Abraham, Sir Leonard Woolley, when excavating Ur in Southern Mesopotamia did not have much choice: the Parthian, the Greek ...
193. Assyrians and Babylonian Chronologies for 8th - 6th Centuries BC [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the latter Scripture may be read, And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul, king of Assyria, and he carried them away . . . ' [3 ]. Aaronson counters this as follows: This translation, completely foreign to the clear meaning of the Hebrew text, has been adopted in several translations of the Bible, based upon the assurance of Assyriologists that the two kings were one and the same. Thiele also points out that the verb following these names is in the singular and cannot be referring to two kings. This, of course, is true. But whoever claimed otherwise? Tiglath-pileser exiled Northern Israelites: this is recorded in the Bible ...
194. Soddom and Gomorrah 'Found At Bottom of Dead Sea'? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2000:1 (May 2000) Home | Issue Contents Soddom and Gomorrah Found At Bottom of Dead Sea'?CCNet, 27 March 2000 By Jonathan Petre, from The Sunday Telegraph, 26 March 2000 http://www.telegraph.co.uk. Copyright 2000. A Bible scholar believes that he has found the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah, the evil cities destroyed by God with fire and brimstone, after leading the first expedition to explore the bottom of the Dead Sea. Michael Sanders and an international team of researchers discovered what appear to be the salt-encrusted remains of ancient settlements on the seabed after several fraught weeks diving in ...
195. Part III: The Legends [Ragnarok] [Books]
... people, whose memory has, for us, almost faded from the earth, will thereafter embalm the great drama in legends, myths, prayers, poems, and sagas; fragments of which are found to-day dispersed through all literatures in all lands; some of them, as we shall see, having found their way even into the very Bible revered alike of Jew and Christian: The Edda continues, " Then again the wonderful Golden tablets are found in the grass in time's morning, the leader of the gods and Odin's race possessed them." And what a find was that! This poor remnant of humanity discovers "the golden tablets" of the former civilization. Doubtless ...
196. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the conventional history for 600-400BC to be solid. This revealed many apparent inconsistencies between the Assyrians, Biblical kings and the Egyptians. He managed to fit in many people but had not resolved his black hole'. His conclusions are listed below. 1. Samaria fell in 711BC, not 722BC. This was the date to which Thiele claimed bible history would free fall without the Assyrians and Babylonians. Thiele was wrong to make the dates of his Hebrew kings meet the requirements of conventional Egyptian and Assyrian chronology. 2. Samaria was besieged three times but only fell once, in 711BC. Its ruler, the Rib Addi of the Amarna letters, must be the king of Israel ...
197. Puritanism, Misogyny, and Female Sexuality [Journals] [Aeon]
... the Precinct of Tanit. Can Tanit-worship have been in no way involved? Milo Kearney and Karen LeFevre-Uribe seem to have no doubt about it. As they state: "Tanit-Astarte was worshipped among both Phoenicians and Egyptians. Her followers performed both child sacrifice and ritual emasculation." [53] As to ritual emasculation, The Popular and Critical Bible Encyclopedia reports that: "Her priests were eunuchs in women's attire (the peculiar name of whom is Kadeshim', male devotees, sacri, I Kings xiv:24), and women Dedeshoth', female devotees, sacrae, i.e . meretrices or prostitutes (Hos. iv:14) which term ought to be ...
198. The Problem of Adjusting the Date Limits of the Archaeological Ages to Meet Velikovsky's Revision [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... a lack of knowledge of the elapsed time from the production of the evidence and its deposit in Palestine sites. The initial and major factor that has prevented scholars within the discipline from recognizing the purely hypothetical nature of the traditional chronology of Egypt has been the unwarranted bias against the use of Scripture as a dependable historical source. By degrading the Bible to the level of myth and legend it has been possible for scholars to conceal the resulting errors- at least to their own satisfaction. Arrival at this inconsistent structure can also be traced to the use of non-unique evidence as a correlation basis. Among such is the employment of customs as a basis for presuming that no major errors have ...
199. Spectres [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ever grown or can grow [3 ]. After a catastrophe, the sights of doom are only partially capable of recall. They are personalized, humanized. Then they tend to fade over time. They are sublimated in many ways. The history seems to us strange; it is literal, detailed, yet surreal, as in the Bible story of Sodom and Gomorrah. I discussed the geology of the story in Chapter 22. When the family of Lot, warned by an angel, was fleeing the doomed Cities of the Plain, it was forbidden to look back. The Cities were utterly destroyed. Lot's wife turned to look and was transformed into a pillar of salt ...
