... p. 4 - note that on this graph the dates were set at 39 years older than the new scheme and hence 1159 BC appears as 1198 BC]. Professor Colin Renfrew reviews Kuniholm's work in the same issue of Nature (pp. 733-734) and is rightly sceptical but remains hopeful that further developments will settle the matter. The Bible, Ugarit and Amarna Michmanim is a Hebrew publication of the Hecht Museum in Haifa, with English summaries. Issue 10 (May 1996) raises anew the similarity between some biblical literature and that of the Late Bronze Age. In The Canaanite Literary Heritage in Ancient Hebrew Writing' (pp. 19-38 & 8*) E Greenstein applies ...
242. The Israelite Conquest of Canaan [Journals] [Aeon]
... United Kingdom" blossoming under David and Solomon. Neither mainstream nor reconstructionist dates for the best stratigraphies can provide the necessarily rich strata between -1010 and -930 required for an Early Israelite Empire. The legends about its colourful kings are to be deciphered as amalgamations of local rulers with astral heroes and heroines as well as with Assyrian traditions later nostrified by bible compilers: Tiglath-Pileser III, e.g ., who conquered Israel and built fortresses there and who received tribute in form of spices and camels from the Arabian queen Zabiba was used to enrich Solomon, whereas Shalmaneser III obviously fought the same battles as David. (4 ) This nostrification, after all, is well justified, the ...
243. A Survey of Archaeological Evidence for a Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to validate. In Josh. 6:26, Joshua pronounces a curse over Jericho after destroying it: May the Lord's curse light on anyone who comes forward to rebuild this city of Jericho: the laying of its foundations shall cost him his eldest son, the setting up of its gates shall cost him his youngest' (Revised English Bible). According to 1 Kings 16:34, which specifically refers back to Joshua's words, this was fulfilled in the reign of Ahab (9th century BC) when Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho. In other words, there was no fortified city at Jericho between the time of Joshua and the reign of Ahab - and yet it ...
244. The Holy Grail: Source of the Ancient Science and Spirituality of the Circling Cosmos by Lee Perry [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Orkney Islands, Scotland in June, 1993. I confess I have never come across a style of writing quite like it and suspect that the average Briton, at least, could find it strangely abstruse in a chatty sort of way. Perhaps it would have helped to have read the author's previous book The Holy Grail, Cosmos of the Bible ( ISBN0-8022-2557-8, distributed by New Leaf Distributing Company, 5425 Tulane Drive, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30336, USA and Baker and Taylor Books, 501 South Gladiolus Street, Momence, Illinois 60954, USA). Perry claims to have stumbled upon a rediscovery of the Holy Grail and recounts how at first he was surprised by the ...

246. Reconsidering Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... (1 ) that there were physical upheavals of a global character in historical times; (2 ) that these catastrophes were caused by extra-terrestrial agents; and (3 ) that these agents can be identified. ' (p . 13 of the Pocket Book edition). Velikovsky had a hidden agenda in that he wanted to prove that the Bible was right. He finished by characterising Velikovsky as a great man, not a saint, but annoying, manipulative, and a honeypot attracting angry personalities. Sunday morning, August 19th Discussion led by Roger Wescott Linguist and anthropologist Roger Wescott, who was also the chairman of the whole meeting, started off a general discussion in which ideas ...
247. The Dragon in Myth and Folklore [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... in the Sky".(3 ) This is the celestial dragon in mythology. However, there is an immense amount of mythical and literary material concerning dragon and serpent motifs which can in no way be construed in such a cosmic context. The ancient Hebrew literature again provides a case in point... 2. DRAGONS IN THE BIBLE The Hebrew "tanin", translated as serpent or dragon, must often be taken in an earthly, and not cosmic context. Thus (Idumea) ". .. shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls" (Isaiah 23:13). "Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder ( ...
248. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... material as it repeatedly passed through vast meteoric showers. As each accretion phase was in fact a catastrophe for life on Earth, all surviving life forms had to adapt very rapidly. Milton had been investigating just what the universal triggering mechanism could have been for synchronous bursts of evolution. In pursuing various descriptions of catastrophic phenomena as described in the Bible, Velikovsky had given but little attention to the one depicted as Elijah went up to heaven in a fiery whirlwind, but Zysman realised that this was not uncommon in many other traditions, with fiery spirals, serpents of fire etc. Zysman's thesis is, briefly, following Velikovsky, that as Earth passed through meteoric debris there were great ...
249. Kronos by Robert de Telder (Reviewed) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Vol. 1 (though Peoples of the Sea is rejected). The author also seeks to incorporate Herodotus' Egyptian chronology into his scheme and takes the Father of History at his word in placing the 4th Dynasty pyramid-builders immediately before the Ethiopian 25th Dynasty. Essentially, therefore, this is a combination or synthesis of Velikovsky, Herodotus and the Bible, all of which are treated, more or less, as revealed truth'. In this way the author makes the Amarna Age (late 18th Dynasty), which Velikovsky placed in the 9th century, contemporary with the Pyramid Age, which Herodotus placed immediately before the Ethiopian Shabaka (late 8th century). The Amarna Age pharaohs ...
... Egyptian historian of the third pre-Christian century writing in Greek. The hatred that until then was directed against the almost legendary Hyksos, the early conquerors and exploiters of Egypt, was from then on directed against the Jewish people. I showed also that the Hyksos, known to the Egyptians as Amu, were the same as the Amalekites of the Bible who dominated the Near East, as well as Palestine, during the long period of the wandering in the desert and of the Judges; I quoted numerous old Arabian authors who describe the conquest of Syria-Palestine and Egypt by the Amalekites and the domination of Egypt for four or five centuries by the Amalekite dynasties of kings. The mode of ...
