... to full flower. for during this same period the belief was prevalent among the Greeks and others that God ruled the world by means of intermediary agencies who are sometimes described as the shepherds' of the nations."(57) Hyksos-Amalek In Ages in Chaos, Velikovsky identified the Hyksos or Amu (Aamu) with the Amalekites of the Bible(58) and also discussed Arabian traditions about the Amalekite Pharaohs.(59) Gardiner flatly rejected the view "that the Hyksos were a particular race of invaders who after conquering Syria and Palestine ultimately forced their way into Egypt."(60) Furthermore, he considered it "doubtless impossible to suppress the erroneous usage of the ...
322. The Chronology of the Late Kings of Egypt [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... placed this incident in the XIXth dynasty in the reign of Rameses II. This setting was based on statements in Exodus 1:8-11 which suggest that the ruling king of the preceding era of oppression had the name Rameses. When it became apparent that Rameses II must be assigned a date in the 13th century B.C ., conservative Bible scholars tended to shift their thinking to a placement in the mid-XVIIIth dynasty. This shift had its basis in the statement of I Kings 6:1 to the effect that 480 years elapsed between the exodus and the beginning of construction on Solomon's temple in his fourth year. Ample evidence was at hand to assign a date in the early ...
323. The Autumn Meeting [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... securely dated event. Similarly 9', a symbol of creation, is involved in a repetitive cycle of 99 years in Egypt. A full cycle of 9 such periods was the Sothic cycle, with no reference to astronomical dating, and again leads back to origins at 3103/3102 BC. In quite a few specialised situations in the Bible, 600' means escape or flight into rebirth, and another oriental dating system was based on such a cycle of destruction and regeneration. Noah's deluge was placed in such a context. The 430 years between Abraham and Moses denotes a legal covenant between two unequal elements, such as God and man. Such numbers, though artificial constructs ...
324. Society News: SIS Autumn Conference 2000 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... method of counting years forward from a postulated date in the past - the Exodus - eventually failed him. The missing archaeology of David and Solomon in particular casts a dark shadow on his work; he tried to escape this by using the archaeology of other ancient countries (Egypt, Babylon, Greece) to illustrate the missing archaeology of the Bible but eventually we must require that if the Bible stories are real, then real evidence must be presented. Mentioning the commendable work that Velikovsky did in showing that Dark Ages were not real, Whelton asked if the AD Dark Ages should also be considered a myth? All attempts to construct an accurate account of AD history were doomed to ...
325. The Origin of Mankind [Books]
... , and not just to the original pair as, somehow or other, is usually supposed. Yet reference to the straightforward scientific. ' factual statement of Genesis i. 2'7, and ii. 2,and its unassailable, irrisible, irrejectable idea of the Divine, is avoided by practically all who professionally, or otherwise, quote the Bible. This is the more surprising because, according to Matthew xix-4, Jesus himself was of opinion that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, thus authoritatively rejecting any other theory. Instead of on this straightforward account our young are nurtured on the very involved, and hence very obscure, mythological' story in ...

... huge difference to their interpretation whether they were written before or after the turn of the millennium - i.e . whether they predate Christianity completely, or could be part of the change to the new religion. Whatever dates are finally assigned, they put back by several centuries the dates for the earliest extant copies of most of the Jewish Bible and, according to one book (The Jesus Papyrus), also the New Testament. What are the Dead Sea Scrolls? They are eleven leather scrolls, one copper scroll and thousands of fragments of manuscripts on leather, papyrus or parchment found in eleven caves near Qumran, next to the Dead Sea, eight miles south of Jericho ...

Exodus describes the actions of Moses' mother thus: She took for him a tębah of bulrushes and she pitched it with pitch and with mortar (Exodus 2:3 ) ' [8 ]. The Bible seems to be interpreting itself here. In the second part of this parallel description we seem to have the key to the nagging questions about the material gopher wood' Noah used to construct the Ark. The Exodus account reveals it to be bulrushes'. In The Jerusalem Bible translation, God told Noah: Make yourself an Ark of ...

... , tin bronzes in Mesopotamia a thousand years before they reached next door Syria. Since the beginnings of archaeology some two hundred years ago, the dating of the sites and the objects found in them has presented a problem. The problem is still with us. A mere forty years ago only three aids were available to the archaeologist: the Bible, the works of Herodotus, and Egyptian King Lists, especially a list compiled by an Egyptian scribe Manetho for the newly arrived Ptolomaic Dynasty. Many of Manetho's Dynasties were imaginary, while others overlap between Upper and Lower Egypt, yet as Sir Alan Gardiner remarks Egyptologists accepted the evidence of Manetho with childlike credulity' [3 ]. ...
... the waters". In other words, there can be no questioning the claim that the Hindu Varuna was canopy of watery vapors. A TYPICAL "HALO" MANDALAOF INDIA (Victoria and Albert Museum, London) I find the same thing emphasized in ancient Japanese thought. The oldest literature of that race is in their Kojiki, the Japanese Bible. Their two earliest gods were a "sun-born pair", Izanagi and Izanami, two great lights, who, it said, stood on the floating bridge of heaven and by rotating a spear of jade in the cosmic waters, brought the first land into sight, an island called Onogoro, meaning the "curdled drop". ...
330. Forum [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Rohl/James, Glasgow and conventional chronologies all pointing to some form of the Hyksos conquest. Are we then to believe that Ramesses II was celebrating the Hyksos conquest of Egypt? Rubbish! Was he celebrating the founding of Tanis? Tanis was an ancient port long before the 400 year date. It was known as Zoan, in the Bible. Was this the founding of a temple to Seth , at Avaris, as David supposes? This argument has long been put to rest. The so-called evidence for this is the inscription, "beloved of Seth, Lord of Avaris", found on two 12th Dynasty statues usurped by Merenptah (see "The Problem of the Site ...
