... ." One would not wish to suggest that the pursuit of scientific ends precludes spiritual belief, but matters of faith sit most uncomfortably in such an essay. In any case, the mere rumour of a secret based at best on the childhood recollections of an old lady seems to be given more credence than the scriptures themselves, for the Bible contradicts accepted scientific truths at many points. It is true that this passage is reserved for an appendix. But I am reminded of the warning about the thirteenth stroke of the grandfather clock, which, while patently false in itself, also casts doubt on what has gone before. I am moved to question Spedicato's objectivity and judgment. ...
692. Getting it Together [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... London, on 28th and 29th March. Dr George J. Brooke, lecturer in Intertestamental Literature at the University of Manchester, gave a series of five lectures covering: 1) The Present Picture: Personalities, Plots and the Publication Process, 2) The Identification and History of the Qumran Communities, 3) The Scrolls and the pre-biblical Bible, 4) The Scrolls as Jewish Literature of the Second Temple Period, 5) The Scrolls and the New Testament. Time was allowed for discussion after each of the lectures, which did much to counter accusations in recent years that publication of the scrolls, and translations of them, were being deliberately and unjustifiably delayed by parties with ...
693. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... which she invariably provides. The meeting was opened by David Roth talking about a recently published book, The Sign and the Seal by Graham Hancock. The story of one man's adventures on the trail of the Ark of the Covenant, David had found it a fascinating read with much of relevance to the traditional history of the Ethiopians and the Bible. David's review of this book is to be found elsewhere in this publication. The meeting was then pleased to welcome Geoffrey Gammon, fresh from the latest Nile cruise, with an account of this event-packed trip to Egypt, which left his listeners almost as exhausted as he admitted to having been during it on at least one occasion. ...

695. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... they were, in the main, spurious. One of these traditions concerned the said 94 year rule. Until recently, I could see no effective way to either stretch biblical chronology to supply an Exodus in the time of Pepi II's successor Antyemsaf II, or to reduce the dates of this latter king so that they were compatible with the Bible data. Hence the rather speculative interpretation involving the 94 years wherein I proposed that it represented a period of time and the rules of two kings, similarly named. This was a compromise, presented in good faith, with a footnote to draw the reader's attention to the actuality of the tradition. I offer apologies to Brad Aaronson for ...
696. Catastrophes in the period 5th cent. BC to 14th cent. AD [Journals] [SIS Review]
... recurrent feature, a companion of the god Nergal and associated with celestial phenomena. Plague pops up in British and Irish folktale and myth [10], the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh [11] and the Egyptian story of Sinuhe [12]. In Biblical chronology, at the end of the LB a plague struck Philistine cities. The Bible records another notable outbreak - the death of 185,000 men in Sennacherib's Assyrian army (Isaiah 37:36) - dated to 702BC. The epidemic flared up again in the 640s (reflecting the Biblical story of Nebuchadnezzar in sackcloth). The empire of Assyria was depleted of peasants and army recruits, leading to the abandonment of ...

698. A Personal Report on, and Irreverent Look at, the World Conference 'Planetary Violence in Human History' Portland, Oregon, January 3-5, 1997 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Sitchin: Celestial Encounters'. Sitchin's work is interesting for the materials he shows but, as far as I am concerned, useless for the conclusions he draws from it. (His book is The Twelfth Planet.) He claims to have studied the Old Testament in Hebrew, to know Arabic and to have studied Sumerian. In the Bible, he noticed that a verse was translated Those were the days when there were giants... ' when in fact the word nefilim did not mean giants but descended from heaven'. He was told not to question the Bible and decided to do just that. He claims Sumerian culture is 6,000 years old and has ...
699. Minds in Chaos [Books] [de Grazia books]
... America for decades. Reflecting upon events in the life of Moses, Velikovsky began to speculate: Was there a natural catastrophe at the time of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt? Could the plagues of Egypt, the hurricane, the parting of the waters, and the smoke, fire, and rumblings of Mt Sinai described in the Bible have been real and sequential aspects of single titanic cataclysm of natural forces? If the Exodus took place during - or because of-an upheaval, perhaps some record of the same events has survived among the many documents of ancient Egypt; if so, might not such a record be a clue to the proper place of the Exodus ...
... only persons that desired him, but those also that perused the laws he left behind him had a strong desire after him, and by them gathered the extraordinary virtue he was master of. And this shall suffice for the declaration of the manner of the death of Moses. ENDNOTE (1 ) Reland here takes notice, that although our Bibles say little or nothing of these riches of Corah, yet that both the Jews and Mahommedans, as well as Josephus, are full of it. (2 ) It appears here, and from the Samaritan Pentateuch, and, in effect, from the psalmist, as also from the Apostolical Constitutions, from Clement's First Epistle to the ...
