114 pages of results. 441. F. X. Kugler -- Almost a Catastrophist [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a clearer idea of the advance he made as a result of his research. First and foremost, Kugler was schooled in the uniformitarian mould and subject to the influence of the dogma and preconceptions current at the turn of the century; to this he added (as a member of the Jesuit order) a direct and literal approach to the Bible. This is evident in his opening remarks: from the way he examines the development of the concept of "heavenly hosts", i.e armies of stars, it is clear that he considers the accepted arrangement of the story of Genesis to represent not only the sequence in which the book was written, but also the sequence ...
442. Objections to the Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... with Rehoboam on the conventional chronology. What is wrong with that? The names agree very well. Velikovksy says that Sheshonk's invasion was centred on northern Israel, not Judah, unlike Shishak's, as an argument against their identification. However, if you will look at the maps in the distinguished Israeli archaeologist Yehanan Aharoni's book The Land of the Bible , pages 142 and 284, you will see that, in fact, Sheshonk's invasion of Palestine was at any rate more centred on Judah than was Thutmose III's! Velikovsky identifies the city Kadesh, mentioned in Thutmose III's list of captured cities, with Jerusalem. But nowhere else in Egyptian records is Jerusalem called Kadesh. However, the ...
443. Ebla Reconsidered [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . In short, publication of Ebla material is in fact going ahead quite quickly. The next thirty or forty years promise to bring a steady increase in our knowledge of culture and events in the late 3rd millennium BC. Notes 1. Hence not only Matthiae's statements concerning Tudiya, but also those of K. A. Kitchen (The Bible in its World, Exeter, 1977, pp. 48-49) must now be abandoned. 2. On pp. 53-54 Matthiae does note the possibility that Sargon, rather than Naram-Sin, destroyed Mardikh II B 1; but this would leave the conquest of Ebla by Naram-Sin unattested by a destruction level, so my point would still stand ...
444. A Catastrophist Reading of Religious Systems [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is the opposite of what it should be. It is not a path to heaven but a barrier before it which we will have to remove if we are to make any progress. This is not the last word, however, for the cloud of religious unknowing which I have demonstrated may have a silver lining. Let us take the Bible, for example. What do its narratives ultimately mean? Is its message merely the simple one which any ordinary person can discern, or is there something much deeper to be attained? Theologians have recognised this problem for centuries, as the long history of biblical hermeneutic demonstrates, and philosophers more recently have come to be aware of it ...
445. The Still-Lost City of Avaris: The Capital and Stronghold of the Hebrew Pharaohs (Hyksos) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... found the Hyksos stronghold he described, as all of his books, when he wrote about the Hyksos, indicate an interest and admiration for these people. I think Petrie believed Josephus was right in maintaining the Hyksos were indeed the ancient Hebrews.1 Petrie retired to Jerusalem and spent the remaining years of his life in the Land of the Bible. This seems to say something about his belief system. Let us consider one of the sites he excavated- one he thought might be Avaris. Tell-el-Yehudiyeh Flinders Petrie worked at Tell-el-Yehudiyeh and found not only a gigantic Hyksos burial ground, but lots of scarabs and the black pottery that the Asiatics adored.2 Let us consider this site ...

447. The Chronology of Israel and Judah Part IId [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... in this regard. [45] He provides a synchronism here between Dynasty VI and Dynasty XII and finds a mention by Petrie of a Dudimes in association with Piopi II. The facts presented in the Book of the Judges have been considered here; from them the table has been developed. Because of uncertainty in the provided data in the Bible the results given here may be questionable in some respects, but they should not be far from the truth. The relative dates offered here should be useful in reconstructing Israel's history pertinent to the kings of Mesopotamia and the peoples of the east. My belief is that parallels may be found between the Book of the Judges, the history ...

449. The Prodigal Archive [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , took it up, praised it among his acquaintances, processed it through several readers, and achieved a favorable vote. A chapter of the book was sold to the Reader's Digest and other selections to Collier's Magazine. Collier's, struggling for circulation, took a large ad in the Herald Tribune, headlining that modern science had now proved the Bible correct, while the Reader's Digest carried the story of the Sun's standing still at Beth-Horon by the command of Joshua, so as to let the Israelites finish off their enemies. Both stories and the publicity attendant upon them played directly to a large audience of bemused Jews and "Old Testament" Christians, including what would be called creationists ...
... It explains the oracle in the capital Meru and the temporal power of the priesthood. It leads to the conclusion, as is only logical from all that has been advanced, that, as in the case of the Egyptians and Greeks, we must look to the north, and mainly to the British Isles, as the real source of Bible history. To be even more precise, it takes us to the heart of the Cassi territories in the region of Moray Firth, One of the "oldest continuously inhabited settlements of mankind, abounding in Phoenician traces", as says Waddell, where we find the name Ur, as in Shetland, and there is another queer pointer ...
