... identification of Bikat Aven, referred to in Amos 1:5 with the plain of Coele-Syria is generally accepted.(1 ) The text, already quoted, reads: "I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven . . ." The Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Bible by the Seventy, renders the above text as "the valley of On," written the same as On (or Heliopolis) in Egypt. The Hebrew spellings of Aven and On do not differ in consonants; and vocals were inserted in the texts by the Masoretes in a late period. On is the Hebrew name of Heliopolis ...
232. The Hyksos (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... From where did the Hyksos come? The theories of the scholars differ. Some thought that the Hyksos were Mitannians, of the Aryan race;3 others, that they were Scythians.4 Still others, for two millennia, have supposed that they were the Israelites, whose sojourn in Egypt is preserved in quite a different version in the Bible. And, finally, even the very fact of the invasion of Egypt by a tribe called Hyksos was disputed by a scholar who expended more effort than others in the investigation of the remnants of the so-called Hyksos dynasties in Egypt.5 However, he found no followers. Already in the days of Manetho the land of their origin ...

234. The Sea Peoples and the Philistines [Articles]
... the end of the talk. The Philistines are obviously best-known to us from the Old Testament. They are particularly prominent during the later period of the Judges and the early Monarchy- the stories of such encounters between the early Hebrews as Samson and Delilah, and David and Goliath are extremely familiar and need no retelling in this context. The Bible gives us a, naturally, one-sided, but colourful and fortunately detailed picture of the Philistines from the 12th to 10th centuries BC. They are presented as an aggressive, militaristic grouping of five cities (Gath, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Gaza and Ekron) around the coast of southern Palestine, who are almost constantly at odds with the ...
235. 094book.htm [Journals] [Aeon]
... of 587/586 BC. Certainly Assyrians did not disappear from the face of the earth because their empire disintegrated between 612-608 BC. Assyrian populations continued to live and thrive in Harran and Arbel well into the Babylonian era and are mentioned even in the time of Darius, king of Persia. In a recent book on the archaeology of the Bible, it is said that the excavators of Lachish believed that the palace-fortress remained unoccupied throughout the seventh century BC. (8 ) Of course the author remarks that this is hardly possible during the seventh century BC, and he is correct. But after the Babylonian destruction and deportations it remains more than possible that Lachish was pretty much deserted ...
236. Precise Synchronization Involving the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... This is an important task, however, for obviously if the Egyptian and Hebrew chronologies cannot be so synchronized within the limits of the available data, we can reasonably say that Ages in Chaos has been effectively killed. Accordingly, I have here provided two schemes by which this synchronism can be accomplished, using the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, Ages in Chaos, and Sir Gardiner's Egypt of the Pharaohs (Oxford, 1962) as my main sources. On the Egyptian side, we have our data in the form of the highest recorded year of each king; admittedly the weakness here lies in the fact that a later date may turn up at any time. We ...
237. Pygmalion, Prince of Tyre, and the el-Amarna Correspondence [Journals] [Kronos]
... possibility that the sardonic Greeks may have actually followed a standard linguistic practice if, in fact, they did convert Abimilki into Pygmalion. The variation of consonants and shifting of vowels was one of the most prominent features of all languages employed in the general area known to the Greeks as Phoenicia (i .e ., the Canaan of the Bible). As an example, take the name of the sea goddess who was adored in the city of Ashquelon under the name Derceto.(16) This mermaid was also known to the Greeks as Atargatis. One can easily see how the latter was probably modified to form Derceto, but there is some difficulty in detecting how both ...

239. Conclusion (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... explanations, the old traditions have gained considerably in value. Giving over the purely allegorical and non-natural system of interpretation, we have tried to disentangle from the myths the history of times otherwise forgotten, and the record of happenings otherwise unknown. Now at last we can see light through the imagery of the Edda, the mystic grandeur of the Bible, the strange word-painting of the myths in general. Our method of approach is a new one. The cosmogonic theory which underlies it is unfamiliar. Nevertheless we hope that neither this theory nor the interpretation of the myths in the light of its teachings will be found improbable or unsatisfactory. The mythologist especially will no doubt be quick to ...
240. Velikovsky, Solomon, strata [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... don't know enough about to comment on unless the point is attacked by dogmatics as is their providence From: dduff21@yahoo.com (Dan Duffy ) Date: Sun, 16 May 1999 165647 -0700 (PDT) Velikovsky accepted Biblical chronology as untouchable. This was his strong point and weak point. As "The Hidden Book in the Bible" shows, the Biblical narrative was heavily edited by people who tried to create a coherent story out of fragments. These fragments were reassembled for religious reasons, and may not convey the genuine history of that period. From: cwhelton@mindspring.com (Clark Whelton) Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 140230 -0400 That is ...
