813. Ages in Chaos in the Light of C14 Archaeometry [Journals] [Pensee]
... end of the Middle Kingdom and the Exodus under Moses were contemporaneous events that occurred about the middle of the fifteenth century B.C . He then argues (in agreement with Manetho but not modern historians) that there followed a period of over 400 years of rule in Egypt by the Hyksos, whom he identifies as the Amalekites of the Bible. The beginning of the famous XVIIIth Dynasty is thus moved forward in time by over 500 years to the second half of the eleventh century. (See chart of his revised chronology in this issue of Pensee.) In this reconstruction the XVIIIth Dynasty terminates not in the fourteenth century, as in the conventional chronology (see accompanying outline ...
814. Catastrophism and Anthropology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Darwin and Lyell [1 ]. When Frazer published his comprehensive study on the worldwide story of the great flood, he stressed the paradigmatic importance of Darwin's theory of evolution, consequently rejecting every possibility that the tradition originated from historical events [2 ]. According to Frazer's biographer, the implicit purpose of this rejection was to undermine the Bible and religion by insisting on its folkloric stratum, thereby associating it with savagery' [3 ]. Since then, 20th century anthropology has tended to view the ancient flood traditions as mere reflections of mythical' thinking, whereas catastrophe rituals and festivals are almost totally ignored [4 ]. As a result, anthropological studies which have focused ...
815. The Homeric Question [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of people in general, and most of all of those who have always opposed me in questions of poetry'. (Pausanias IX:30,3 ) The so-called Homeric Question', which has been hotly debated by scholars for many centuries, is one of the most controversial subjects in ancient history. Like critical research on the Hebrew Bible, research on Homer concerns ancient texts, written by authors whose motives, sources and dates are unknown [1 ]. For the single researcher, the amount of relevant literature published in the last four centuries on this issue is too much to digest. The number of essays, studies and books on the archaeology of the Homeric Age ...
816. Relation Between the Perpetual Calendar Based on the 128 Years Cycle and the Central American Calendar [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and participates in archaeological expeditions in Israel, to Har Karkom, a holy mountain in the Negev desert identified with the Biblical Mount Sinai. He organized and led two expeditions to Antarctica, contributing to the present Italian commitment in that continent with writings and lectures. He has written several books in Italian on different subjects, from Atlantis to the Bible. His last book, La Bibbia senza Segreti, will soon be published in UK by Entra Publications under the title The Book of the Law. Summary It is demonstrated that the Central American Calendars, based on a vague year of 365 days and a ceremonial year of 260 days, belong to a family of calendars derived from the ...
817. The Golden Age and Nova of Super Saturn [Books] [de Grazia books]
... origin, hence capable safely of dependent status, along with the Earth, under Saturnian rule. Saturn would have ruled therefore either from 11 500 (or from about 8 000) down to 5 700 years ago. The concluding date of 5 700 BP is related to proto-historical times, the time of the Great Deluge of Noah in the Bible and the First Dynasty of Egypt. The date is likely to be fixed with exactness someday. A Sumerian prism, for instance, names ten kings who ruled before the Flood, and says, "then the Flood swept over the Earth. After the Flood swept over, kingship again descended from Heaven." Wiseman, the editor ...
818. O-Kee-Pa: Catastrophe Myths and Rituals of the North American Mandan Indians [Journals] [SIS Review]
... unfamiliar with the tradition of a past flood disaster: Indian traditions are generally conflicting and soon run into fable; but how strong a proof is the unanimous tradition of the aboriginal races of a whole continent of such an event! - how strong a corroboration of the Mosaic account. ' [2 ] However Catlin was far from being a bible fundamentalist. In his view, the Indian flood traditions validated the historicity of past natural disasters, not the authenticity of biblical theology. The flood legends of America's natives were of independent origin, because all their other traditions lacked any real resemblance to the biblical account. The religious beliefs of the Mandans resembled those of other Indian tribes. ...
819. Discussion Questions From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... Heinsohn is correct in dragging Abraham ahead at least a thousand years. Hardly. There are well over 15 centuries convincingly identified in the scriptures (including the Apocrypha) from Abraham to the birth of Jesus Christ. Most probably Ur became part of the Abrahamic tradition because of a different copyist's error. The ancient writers and copyists of the Hebrew Bible used no punctuation or separation between words. A word might even be broken in separation between words. A word might even be broken in the middle and the next letter(s ) carried to the beginning of the following line. If the original Hebrew was truly "land" of the Chaldeans, the Hebrew "land"- ...
820. Origins: Today's Science, Tomorrow's Myth, by James E. Strickling [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a creationist but has now changed his mind. In Origins, he argues that creation science' should not be regarded as a science, because it fails to put forward hypotheses to be tested. In addition, some of its tenets (e .g . the six days' of creation) depend on the wording of the King James Bible and are not supported by other versions. Above all, the fossil record shows clearly that life-forms have changed through time, contrary to the claims of creationism. On the other hand, Strickling does not find gradualistic evolution, as proposed by Charles Darwin and later by neo-Darwinians, any more convincing as an explanation of the history of life ...
