Ancient Egyptian texts and paintings show constellations reversed in the sky and moving in the opposite direction to what they now follow. The Bible records that the sun stood still for Joshua. Ancient Chinese and Mexican records also tell of a time when the sun remained in the sky for a longer than usual time. These can be explained, Warlow maintains, by the Earth's rolling over, making the sun seem stationary and making, night on the opposite side of the planet ...

... of the Study Group was held at 11 Dulwich Court, Underhill Road, London SE22 on Sunday 29th November 1987. Discussion centred around the various chronological models now being promoted and a lively debate was generated over considerations of the published and unpublished works of Gunnar Heinsohn, his support and critics. Further discussion covered the esoteric and exoteric interpretation of Bible chronology. There was general approval for the proposal that the future programme of the Study Group should be organised on a more formal basis than has been the custom, and that subjects for discussion would be notified in advance in order that those attending regularly should have time to prepare their contributions to the discussion. The next meeting of the ...

... even having published, lately, an English edition. A typical case of insularism, in both directions. How highly deplorable it is that Mediterranea doesn't exist for SIS, can be seen from Touchet's Grande Mystification, of which he has been publishing the first chapters in the latest issues of that journal. There, in clear contradistinction to Velikovsky's Bible fundamentalist approach, but in accordance with Sephardic tradition, Touchet, in astounding convergence with Heinsohn, denies any historical value of the biblical narratives prior to the time of the Divided Monarchy, and presents a scenario according to which the earlier history of the Ibrim' up to the death of Solomon took place somewhere in the West, presumably ...

... in Aramaic for the benefit of Eastern Jews, but was later translated into Greek and probably altered to suit Josephus' stated intention to show to the Romans that the rebellion of the Jews was fomented by fanatics. The Antiquities was a History of the Jews for non-Jews, and starts with a more or less straightforward translation or paraphrasing of the Bible, cutting out the poetry, but adding traditions, legends and occasional commentaries from various sources. Bentwich gives several examples of these and goes through the work, book by book, noting where Josephus has used the Septuagint (Latin) and the Hebrew versions. He also notes where other writers have been cited, e.g . ...

... and Shuwardata (? of Gath) that his own cities have become hostile to him [EA 281]. When assessing the term Ibrim in the early Israelite monarchy, van der Veen is immediately confronted with the fact that this term can be taken as a gentilic (unlike Habiru) in its usage in some of the books of the Bible. He notes, however, the work of J. Lewy who in 1957 proposed that Ibrim be interpreted as a socio-political appellation throughout I Samuel, that it would not be restricted to a single people from one stock, and that it refers to an element distinct from the people of Israel also. Lewy had reasoned that the author ...

... cometary debris. In this light, cyclothems would be little different from the annual layers known as varves. A historical section follows which contains illuminating research from Gunnar Heinsohn and Benny Peiser plus an interesting biographical portrait of Velikovsky by Clark Whelton who shows why it is important that we should not feel as obliged as the former to cling to the Bible as being the last word on chronology. Peiser provides evidence for post-Mycenaean Greek history as starting in the 6th century BC, while Heinsohn is at his best with an article titled Destruction Layers in Archeological Sites: The Stratigraphy of Armageddon'. He claims that all major cultural changes... were triggered by catastrophes' and that the ...
