... proof' for the existence of such characters receives short shrift from the Establishment of conventional archaeologists and historians. In their opinion, if you're looking for the lunatic fringe, start here. Sweeney goes on to say that this situation has arisen for two reasons: firstly, because of a failure to understand properly the events as described in the Bible and secondly, the conventional time frame for ancient Middle Eastern history adopted by the Victorians, with a little help from Manetho and the Bible, makes any such cross identifications quite impossible. Sweeney argues that by adopting a radically revised chronology, the above three characters, as well as some notable biblical events, can all be clearly identified ...
342. Solomon and Sheba [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Abroad Solomon must have spent a fair amount of time in Egypt - from approx. his 22nd/ 23rd year of reign (corresponding to Regnal Year 1 of Thutmose III) to late in his 40-year reign, when Jeroboam turned against him and sought protection with Thutmose III ( 'Shishak'). Is this a realistic scenario? The Bible gives far less detail about the latter part of Solomon's reign. In I Kings, only 15-16 verses separate the Queen of Sheba leaving Jerusalem (1013) from chapter 11 which informs us that Solomon loved many foreign women' who turned his heart away after other gods (vv.1 ,4 ) and that he began to build ...
343. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... Patten seems to be unaware of. It is Christian scholars who opted for- not mistranslated- the constellations we find mentioned in non-Semitic versions of the Old Testament. And, if Patten wishes to know the truth, Ayish/Arcturus, Khima/Pleiades, and Kesil/Orion are not the only renditions to be found in the Christianized Bible). (88) These indiscretions have been pointed out merely to show the extent of Patten's research. As for evidence, all we have in favor of Patten's choice of identifications are his own words- viz: "[ Ayish] .. . is one form of the ancient Hebrew term for Mars"; "Kheycil is ...
344. The Mystery Of The Pleiades [Journals] [Kronos]
... 78 by Dwardu Cardona, Lewis M. Greenberg and Warner B. Sizemore. 1. The Problem. The Book of Job, as it has been translated into English, bears a reference to the stellar constellation of the Pleiades the meaning of which has long mystified scholars of Biblical lore. As found in the King James version of the Bible, this reference reads: "Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?"(1 ) The Douay version, however, has it differently: "Shalt thou be able to join together the shining stars of the Pleiades, or canst thou stop the turning about of Arcturus?"( ...
345. A REVISED CHRONOLOGY FOR THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is challenged by Velikovsky. It is difficult for scholars who have worked within the accepted framework for so long even to consider the possibility that all is not well with the history of the ancient Near East - yet, viewed objectively, the histories of Egypt and Palestine, placed side by side, present a puzzling and unexpected picture. The Bible abounds in references to Egypt - Abraham's visit and his dealings with Pharaoh, the descent into Egypt under Joseph, the sojourn and enslavement of the Hebrews, the Exodus, the friendly relations with Egypt established under Solomon, the invasions of Shishak and Zerah and the other references to Egypt and its Pharaohs in the Books of Kings and Chronicles ...
346. Dating the Amarna Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Labayu is Mut-Balu, writing from Pella. Anthony is desperately trying to make Ahab fit the bill, or so it seems, and again misses the fact that Mut-Balu claimed to be a full king in his own right. Here Anthony would have to postulate a brother for Ahab/Rib-Addi who governed the Transjordan for him - something which the Bible is silent upon. 6). This also looks like a desperate force-fit of the jigsaw. The person claiming Labayu was after Megiddo was Biridiya, the ruler of Megiddo. Biridiya and his friend Yashdata, whose inheritance had been taken by the men of Tanaach, were at the final battle in the Jezreel where Labayu died. Labayu's ...
347. The Location of Punt/Ophir Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Several researchers have felt that Punt and Ophir could have been one and the same, but the difficulty was always that Hatshepsut's expedition to Punt was dated by Egyptological authorities to 1481 B.C ., following a chronology based on a calendar tied to the heliacal rising of Sirius, whereas Solomon's trade enterprises in Phoenician ships, described in the Bible, had to be dated at about 980/960 B.C ., a difference in time of around 500 years. None of the scholars who tried to solve these problems seems to have looked for corroboration from African sources, yet such evidence is available: the book, Indaba, My Children, by Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa, ...
348. A CRITICAL RE-APPRAISAL OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... down"[25]. Consequently, the problem of the composition of the book of Genesis has remained unsolved for them. For instance, we read in Skinner's Genesis: "The problem of the TOLEDOTH headings {sic} has been keenly discussed .. . and is still unsettled."[26] Again, in the Jerome Bible Commentary, Eugene Maly makes the same mistakes. He can only say that the "Toledoth [story] usually refers to a genealogical account.{sic} In P it marks the important stages in salvation history.... It is placed here [i .e . in Genesis 2:4 ] to preserve the majestic ...
... :11-13, and many the like prophecies against them. Nothing could therefore justify this practice but a particular commission from God by his prophet, as in the present case, which was ever a sufficient warrant for breaking any such ritual or ceremonial law whatsoever. (7 ) That this woman who cried to Elisha, and who in our Bible is styled "the wife of one of the sons of the prophets," 2 Kings 4:1 , was no other than the widow of Obadiah, the good steward of Ahab, is confirmed by the Chaldee paraphrast, and by the Rabbins and others. Nor is that unlikely which Josephus here adds, that these debts were ...
350. Earth Parturition and Moon Birth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... part of a manifested Super-Uranus or of the Super-Saturn that succeeded the destruction of Uranus, and thus corresponds to the Elohim (Saturn-Kronos) of Genesis. Nor may one overlook the possible significance of the other name of Belus, "Dis," for it resembles "deus" (god) in Latin. In the beginning, says the Bible, "The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit (or wind) of God was moving over the face of the waters."[66] And then Elohim made the light and he separated the heavenly waters from the earthly waters. The Firmament of Heaven ...
