... first the old religion with its human sacrifice and then the new God without such loss of life- in only one historical event proclaiming the new one and only God. It is precisely this combination that obstructs our view of the historical process and our understanding of it; for this reason I separated the legend into two chronologically distinct parts. Bible research meanwhile holds that the complete Abraham-Isaac legend was "originally one myth against human sacrifice on Moriah,"12 an approach so bound to religious tradition it cannot take into consideration that Abraham's achievement is in completely overcoming such a tradition. III. The Exodus and New Israelite Identity The events which destroyed the Middle Kingdom of Egypt and facilitated ...
762. Reassessing the Date of the Arabah Copper Mines [Articles]
... works out. There are four arguments basically for preferring the late dates to the early ones. (1 ) The first one does not amount to evidence in the hard sense, nevertheless I think it's important. In stating that there is a lack of evidence for mining activity in the time of Solomon, Rothenberg has pointed out that the Bible nowhere says that Solomon took copper from this area, in fact I. Chron. 18 and 22 states that the copper or bronze which Solomon used for the temple had previously been brought by David to Jerusalem, and that David acquired it from Tibhath and Chun which were cities in the Aramaean kingdom of Zobah between Damascus and Hamath, ...

764. The End of Mitanni and Some Related Problems [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... ). Thus at the date of Necho's advance Nebuchadnezzar could not have been king of Assyria. Considering his clear pointers to an Egyptian-Assyrian alliance, Velikovsky has completely misunderstood the fact that Necho was advancing not "against" but to the aid of his ally, the king of Assyria. For a discussion of this point see Keller, The Bible as History, p. 271. This is also made quite clear by Roux as cited (p . 343) and Luckenbill, Sections 1171, 1183. Several modern translations of the Bible render II Kings 23:29 as "aid to Assyria," while parallel chapters in II Chronicles (35:20), contrary to ...
765. Velikovsky and his Heroes [Articles]
... treatment of Isaiah that will be revealing. Isaiah is the only major biblical prophet to enjoy both a major and positive role in Velikovsky's historical canvas. He is the only individual to figure prominently in Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky's cosmic drama of the planetary gods. In a remarkable series of comments on the exegetes, the later commentators of the Bible, Velikovsky pauses even to restore Isaiah from his uncomprehending uniformitarian critics. This is in his own terms the highest honour he can display. He claims to restore to Isaiah the witness of his original meaning, of Isaiah's original, literal perceptions of his own time. You could say that this was an act of homage by Velikovsky to ...
766. The Albrecht/Glueck-Aharoni/Rothenberg Confrontation [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... and/or legendary origin arid hence not necessarily factual. This furnished an apparent- but unwarranted- escape for rejecting out of hand any and all troublesome scriptural passages. It is becoming obvious to some, at least, that this device is leading its users to an unanticipated detour from which the road to consistency is effectively blocked. Specific Bible details have been regarded as reliable only after having been confirmed by current interpretations of obscure archaeological evidence. For lack of inscriptive evidence in situ, the analysis of individual observations remains obscure. But when taken as a unit in terms of a correct chronology, evidence for Israelite conquest is unmistakably present, just as described in Scripture. There ...
767. Eastern Anatolia and Velikovsky's Chronological Revisions - II [Journals] [Kronos]
... one century would appear to separate these two incursions and this century would thus form the Phrygian period in central Anatolia.(33) Having crushed the Phrygians, the Cimmerians met their match in the rising west Anatolian state of Lydia, which defeated them and drove them back eastwards into Cappadocia. There, they formed a polity known to the bible as Gomer and to the later Armenians as Gamirk' (still the Armenian name for Cappadocia). The Cimmerian invasion caused profound changes in the ethnopolitical picture of eastern Asia Minor and the remaining events concerning the movements of the Kashkaeans, Tabalians, and Mushkians into Caucasia should remain in their traditional order, as described above. As for ...
768. Stephen J. Gould And Immanuel Velikovsky: Essays In The Continuing Velikovsky Affair [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . Velikovsky's absolute dating (on which so far as I know he did not set great store) is less impressive than the correlations that he discovered between Israelite, Egyptian, and other Near Eastern sources. But it is quite wrong of Stephen Jay Gould (among others) to regard Velikovsky as assuming that reports of remarkable events in the Bible and other ancient documents are literally true. Velikovsky's point is rather that it is impossible to explain the coincidences in the various human accounts, often divided by oceans, of what happened in the skies and the resulting devastation on Earth, without concluding that real events of an extraordinary and catastrophic nature actually occurred. Dwardu Cardona considers many of ...
... as really in Britain. A third was near the city in the west where the Satans were busy making arms for "His Anointed", the Arch-Druid, the living Hermes. A fourth, and of primary importance, was Tyre. In examining the Scriptures we must frequently ignore the apparent chronological eccentricities of the prophets of Israel. The Bible is a book of hidden meanings, and many events which relate to a far earlier date than when men like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel are supposed to have lived, are concealed mystically in the writings. With this proviso we may examine certain passages of Ezekiel which appear to imply that the seat of the Hierarch in his day ...
770. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... her as saying she did what God commanded, so she told the truth about what she gave and received. On p. 4 Mackey states that Velikovsky has Thutmose I as Solomon's father-in-law and that he had two daughters. If, as Velikovsky claims, he gave one to Solomon as a wife because Egypt wanted peace with Israel (the Bible states Solomon had a mighty army), would the Egyptians would have written this down or in preference have her listed as having died as a child? Thutmose III would not have allowed it to remain in the history of Egypt, that Hatshepsut's sister had been given to a nearby king as a wife. As to Solomon being in ...
