... which ran through seven editions between 1681 and 1753) to J. T. Klein's scholarly monograph on a single class of fossils, Dispositio Echinodermatum (1732). The Protestants were keen to demonstrate that God's handiwork was as easily seen in this world as in the next, and particularly they were eager to demonstrate the literal truth of a Bible which declared that God had not only created all the creatures of the earth, but had also brought down the Deluge to punish man for his sins. Shortly after the Glorious Revolution of 1688, when the Catholics were driven out of England, a rash of works appeared reconciling the book of Genesis with the new research into nature. ...
732. A Chronological Note on the Kassites [Journals] [Aeon]
... fragment of a statue of King Shulgi [ -21st century) and a clay cone of one of the kings of Larsa [ -21st century onwards].(42) With hardly anybody ever looking more intensively for a patriarchal Abraham than Sir Leonard, hard evidence had to succumb before the convictions of the faithful son of a clergyman. Bible fundamentalism's chronology, again, had won the day: Only later did he realize that he had been exploring Bel-shalti-nannar's private museum.(43) There are numerous such "museums" in the soil of the ancient Near East. They will continue to multiply as long as pious genealogical numerologies and pseudo-astronomical computations of the Sothic kind are allowed ...
733. The Year Of 360 Days, Part 2 Mars Ch.8 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... and Kings.24 "The new moon festival anciently stood at least on a level with that of the Sabbath."25 As these ( lunar) months were thirty days long, with no months of twenty-nine days in between, and as the year was composed of twelve such months, with no additional days or intercalated months, the Bible exegetes could find no way of reconciling the three figures: 3 54 days, or twelve lunar months of twentynine and a half days each; 360 days, or a multiplex of twelve times thirty; and 365 ¼ days, the present length of the year. The Egyptian year was composed of 360 days before it became 365 by ...
734. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Khaneferre Sebekhotpe, who has been equated with Chenefres in whose time Moses was born according to Hebrew legend. The Turin Canon, which is damaged and incomplete, could have included Taoui-Thom, who is mentioned on the El-Arish stela in a story ending with his drowning at Pi-khiroti. This could be identified with Pi(ha)khiroth where the Bible says Pharaoh's army was drowned and probably, though not explicitly, the pharaoh. Osman's theory that Moses and Akhenaten were one and the same was not taken seriously. I read a bit from Nash (1863) whose pharaoh of the Exodus was Thutmose III. Then we discussed the chronology of Newton as criticised by Hales in 1830. ...

... - which characterized the kind of tube in which Solomon's Shamir was kept- indicate the name Ophir, the fabled land that many scholars identify with East Africa or Africa in general?* Was Shamir a forerunner of the Eye of Odu? Nel Kluitman Campestro, Switzerland Editor's Note: On Ophir and Africa, see Reader's Digest Atlas of the Bible (N .Y ., 1981), p. 102; I. Velikovsky, Ages in Chaos (N .Y ., 1952), p. 126.

736. In Defence of the Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... just 1,000 years after the events in question, against Biblical accounts 600 years after to contemporaneous with the events, and against Egyptian memorials contemporaneous with the events. The Arab historians, furthermore, were just that: historians; and not dreamers or forgers. No more than were Josephus, the writers of the historical books of the Bible, the classical Roman historians, or that Manetho whom Day would rely on implicitly for a chronology of Egyptian history going back 2,000 years before his time of writing! Though the Arab historians are so far removed from the other sources Velikovsky quotes, "which hardly leads one to expect reliable traditions" (Day), yet ...
737. Much Ado about Tippe Top (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... is unbiased as far as humanly possible, in drawing his conclusions; his dedication is to progress in the search for truth." - Immanuel Velikovsky (1 ) .. . In the paper under review,(2 ) Velikovsky identifies the ruins of the temple at Baalbek (Lebanon) with the sanctuary of Dan, mentioned in the Bible. What is his evidence? In the first part of the article, quotations from the Bible abound. In the second part,(3 ) most quotations are taken from descriptions of the impressive ruins at Baalbek by 19th century travellers, or from guidebooks. There is, however, one piece of evidence that may provide a hint ...

... , but which is thought to have been founded around 2400 to 2250 BCE. Thus the Eblaic language appears to be some 1500 years too young." (70) In support of this, he quoted Mitchell Dahood who stated: "This lexical and linguistic conservatism is matched by social and religious phenomena witnessed both at Ebla and in the Bible despite the chronological chasm." (71) The emphasis was added by Heinsohn himself. (72) Back in 1952, on similar evidence, Velikovsky had also argued for "the leveling of the time of Ras Shamra [Ugarit] to the time of the kings of Judea .. . " (73) But, as ...

... pre-patriarchal period in his Revised Chronology. Interestingly enough, nothing has been found so far to connect Ebla with the civilisation of Egypt. However, the names of Sodom and Gomorrah have been tentatively identified on the tablets by Dr Pattinato, and the destruction of Ebla may possibly have some connection with the destruction of these cities, reported in the Bible, for it is not yet quite clear whether Ebla was destroyed by human conquest or a natural disaster. Studies of this period from a catastrophist angle are taking place both in the USA and in England, and will undoubtedly be stimulated further by the Ebla discoveries. In this connection, some speculative comments made by Professor Freedman will be ...
740. The Archangels [Journals] [Kronos]
... angel Gabriel; Origen refers to Gabriel as the angel of war; and from the angel of war to the familiar Mars, god of war, is but a short step. Thus, according to V, Is. 33:3 [cited above] refers indirectly to Mars! "According to Robert Young's Analytical Concordance to the Holy Bible', the word hamon', which can variously mean multitude, noise, stone, is used in [other sections of the Bible]. In each case the word clearly refers to just plain, ordinary noise, din or hubbub."(72) Forrest, however, is neither fair nor accurate. In the first ...
