... and spending a bit more time on the fourth. (1 ) Belief in the Great Antiquity of Civilization In his Did the Sumerians and the Akkadians Ever Exist? Heinsohn claims "that the dating of advanced cultures in Egypt and Mesopotamia as far back as the third millennium BCE is supported only by connection with Abraham based on faith in the Bible." (1 ) He argues that our knowledge of the now lost writings of the Hellenistic historians Manetho (for Egypt) and Berossus (for Mesopotamia) comes only from ancient Jewish and Christian authors who already had adapted them to biblical chronology. (2 ) Because of belief in the antiquity of Abraham, the beginnings of Egyptian ...
222. Big Bang [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... standard solar model, which is central to modern cosmology, I agree with Gregg Easterbrook who wrote in The New Republic of last October 12; ". .. for sheer extravagant implausibility, nothing in theology or metaphysics can hold a candle to the [Big] Bang. Surely, if this description of the cosmic genesis came from the Bible or the Koran rather than the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it would surely be treated as a preposterous myth." Cardona Offers: But the theory did come from a religious work. Here's a short selection from Chapter 1 of GOD STAR by yours truly: Begin quote: In fact, even that so-called pillar of astrophysics, the ...
223. Exodus and Shishak Unraveled [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Thutmose in his twenty-third year, the Deborah catastrophe dated one year later, the destruction of the Benjaminites (including Jericho and Bethel) by the other tribes, the flood of Deukalion and the eruption of Thera- all of which for convenience I date around 1185 B.C . A close reading of the annals of Thutmose III and the Bible will surely show that his identification with Shishak was an exercise in wishful thinking. (Taanach remains a problem for the EBIII Exodus/EBIV conquest solution.) The problem of Shishak then falls into place when one looks for an Egyptian king who invades Palestine- but not too far nor too long, which is the real situation described ...
224. Assyrians, Sodom, and Red Herrings [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... agree with the outline archaeological reconstruction of Donovan Courville, followed by Stan Vaninger and Tom Chetwynd, that the Exodus occurred at the end of the Early Bronze Age, that the great material wealth of the so-called Hyksos Empire of Canaan at the climax of the Middle Bronze was the United Kingdom of David and Solomon, which stretched- as the Bible claims- from the Nile to the Euphrates, just as the "mysterious" Hyksos Empire did. And, as a natural consequence, I agree that the great civilization break at the end of the Late Bronze, and the Late Bronze/Iron Interchange, belongs c. 750-720 B.C . and marks the Assyrian conquest of ...
225. Past, Present, and Future [Books] [de Grazia books]
... can be so described. There is no reason to believe that these are a biased sample of the hundreds of thousands of manuscripts that were lost. Indeed, because the later writers were prone to amnesia about catastrophe, they would have quoted from and edited their sources to conform to the solarian consensus that I have sometimes referred to. The Bible appears to the modern sensitive mind to be often catastrophic in content and tone. Still, various humane Judaic and Christian pastors play it sweet and low to their flocks. Even this Bible evidences many effects of having been repeatedly edited, especially following upon the last series of "Mars" disasters, so as to cover up and smoothen ...
226. Night of the Gods: The Pillar [Books]
... , the Master, and he also had the epithets of Adon, lord, Moloch, king, Adod or Adad, king of gods.28Baal-Peor and Baal-Hermon were the gods of those sacred mountains. (Baal Peor = Belphegor = lord of the opening, slit, or mountain-pass.) I shall here add that Smith's Dictionary of the Bible (1860) recognises that Elohim is the plural of Eloah, stating that the singular, with few exceptions, occurs only in poetry. That is, in accordance with the custom of all well-known languages (as borne in view in this inquiry), that the use of Eloah had been long going out, in favour of Elohim ...
227. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... for the area around Galilee and further north. S(h ) -a-l-m is but one of a series of forts. While scholars have queried one or two of these individual identifications, the general area of the campaign is clear and it does not include any of the famous fenced cities'. Also, regarding Question 4, Young's Bible Concordance gives (i ) Salem, the city of Melchizedek, who met Abraham [Heb.7 :1 ]; supposed to be Jerusalem' but gives no evidence for this speculation; and (ii) Shalem, a city near Shechem; now Salim, E of Nablus. [Gen.33:18] '. ...
228. The Hyksos Were Not Assyrians [Journals] [Aeon]
... make an excellent foundation. Therefore finding later buildings on top of earlier ones does not mean that the rebuilding had to follow almost immediately. 4) The Persian loan words- and there are not many of them- in the Samuel and Kings accounts can be easily explained as the work of Ezra the Scribe, the master-editor of the Hebrew Bible, who came from Babylonia and was a loyal subject of the early Persian monarchs. It is not "proof" that the accounts in question were written in this late time. 5) Following on from this, the accounts of David, Saul and Solomon can not be swept away as a late pastiche of legend and astronomical motif ...
229. The Age of Moses [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... patriarchs and their deeds. The Exodus was finally placed at the time of Ramesses II, a powerful king of the 19th Dynasty. The incongruity of setting the escape of "slaves" during the zenith of Egypt's Empire Period in the mid-thirteenth century B.C . is matched by the violence this does to the whole historical account in the Bible from Genesis to Kings. In his epic film "The Ten Commandments", Cecil B. De Mille shows the strapping Pharaoh Ramesses II turning his chariot aside at the Red Sea crossing and letting his army proceed to their destruction without him since we know that this mighty king did not meet his own end in this way. Unless ...
230. Who Were the Assyrians of the Persian Period [Journals] [Aeon]
... the time of Hammurabi with Abraham necessitated placing the Babylonian ruler in the early second and/or third millennium BCE. The attempt to date the el-Amarna correspondence by astronomical retrocalculations, similarly, produced a second millennium date for the Middle Assyrians (Brak, Hamadiyah, etc.). The attempt to reconcile ancient history with the dates in the Bible, finally, placed the end of the Neo-Assyrian kingdom in the 7th century BCE. The following table was designed to make transparent how conventional scholarship manages to turn three contemporary strata of three different sites into three different periods. This author supports the stratigraphy-based history in the right column. Biblically-derived date of Hammurabi Pseudo-astronomical date for Amarna Real History ...
