... J. Bimson (c ) JOHN BIMSON 1984 Dr John Bimson, biblical archaeologist and lecturer in Old Testament Studies at Trinity College, Bristol, is a consultant and regular contributor to the Review. The case for a major catastrophe having occurred in the year 687 BC is briefly reviewed and the idea that the 687 date is dependent on Assyrian chronology is shown to be in error. The date actually derives from Chinese evidence. Further, there seems to be no good evidence to postulate a global disaster in that year, the Chinese evidence suggesting no more than a meteor shower. However, Near Eastern evidence does suggest that the years 763 and 701 BC may have seen fairly widespread ...
362. Expanding the End of Assyrian History [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Contents INTERACTION Expanding the End of Assyrian History Arie Dirkzwager In letters to the editors of several journals(1 ) Christoph Marx has drawn our attention to the fact that if we have to assume changes in the earth's movement during the 8th and 7th centuries, we cannot take the date of 15-6-763 B.C . as an anchor of ancient chronology. The Assyrian eponym list lost its astronomically fixed absolute date. That list therefore gives us material of only relative value. The fact is important, for now one is not obliged to squeeze Assyrian history from the solar eclipse formerly attributed to 763 until the fall of Nineveh between the years 763 and 612. It is well known that ...
363. ISIS Fellowship Lecture [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1991 (Vol XIII) Home | Issue Contents Horizons ISIS Fellowship Lecture given by Prof Manfred Bietak 27.4 .91 It was quite a coup for ISIS to persuade Bietak to give his first talk in England for 12 years and also to get the British Museum to host the event. The lecture theatre was full and very hot. Chronological revisionism must be coming in from the cold! Professor Bietak of the Austrian Archaeological Institute has, since 1966, been leading the excavations at Tell el-Daba in the NE Nile Delta, almost certainly the site of Avaris, capital of the Hyksos 15th Dynasty until their expulsion from Egypt by Ahmose, ...
364. Venus. Supplement: Astronomy And Chronology Ch.3 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... , the brightest among them, Sirius, was chosen. There are symbolic allusions in Egyptian drawings to their functioning as a team,[11] and the Canopus Decree refers expressly to the relative motion of the star of Isis with respect to the star Sothis. The confusion of Venus with Sirius renders obsolete the astronomical computations made for Egyptian chronology. If this is not enough-and enough it is-then the calendar reforms made in the middle of the second millennium and in the eighth to seventh centuries of the first millennium before the present era stand as strong obstacles to any attempt to use Sothic reckoning or anything like it as a chronological pathfinder. But should the reader turn to Worlds in ...
365. Chapter 2 The Sphinx [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... CONTENTS 38 VELIKOVSKIAN Vol. VI, Nos. 1, 2, 3 CHAPTER 2 THE SPHINX All ancient Near Eastern history is based solely on that of ancient Egypt. Velikovsky explained this long ago: "The student of ancient history . . . is accustomed to relate the chronology of the entire ancient East to Egyptian reckoning. A system of relative chronology can be established by excavation in any country that has been long inhabited, but it is left hanging in the air until linked up with Egypt, whether directly or indirectly through a third region.

366. Assyrian and Babylonian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1993 No 2 (Jan 1994) Home | Issue Contents Assyrian and Babylonian Chronology by A Chavasse In 1867 [1 ] George Smith identified an event of the 10th year of Ashur-dan III as an eclipse retro-calculated to have taken place on the 15th of June 763 BC. This has become the basis for the chronology of Eduard Meyer (1887-1904), the model which mostly prevails today. However, Velikovsky pointed at various times that retro-calculations of dates before about 700 BC or somewhat later do not coincide with observations made by ancient astronomers and so this retro-calculation is not likely to be correct. Moreover, why should the ancient Assyrians give such ...
367. The Problem of Adjusting the Date Limits of the Archaeological Ages to Meet Velikovsky's Revision [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of Catastrophism and Ancient History (1985) Home | Issue Contents The Problem of Adjusting the Date Limits of the Archaeological Ages to Meet Velikovsky's Revision Donovan A. Courville Introduction It is only recently that the necessity for revising the dates for the archaeological ages has come to the front as a factor in evaluating the feasibility of Velikovsky's revision of Egyptian chronology as provided in Ages in Chaos. This problem, however, was recognized by the writer as early as the mid-1960's, as indicated by a placement of the exodus/conquest era at the end of the Early Bronze Age. [1 ] The principle involved was iterated at the 1978 Glasgow Conference in an article by John Bimson. ...

369. A Reply to Stiebing [Journals] [Pensee]
... at the conclusion that the historical reconstruction of Ages in Chaos "cannot be reconciled with the stratigraphical evidence of archaeology." By stratigraphical evidence are usually meant mute artifacts, mostly pottery. The effort in my reconstruction was in shifting the emphasis to archaeological literary evidence. It is from the literary evidence that the artifacts originally obtained their meaning as chronological indicators; but whereas at the base of the "orthodox" approach to historiography the reliance was mainly on such literary (non-contemporaneous) sources as the dynastic lists of Manetho (who wrote in the third pre-Christian century), my novel approach was to search for and find contemporaneous literary synchronisms. Thus, I juxtapose many sentences in the ...
370. Caananites, Chronologies and Connections, by Susan Cohen [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: C&C Review 2004:3 (Incorporating C&C Workshop 2004:4 ) Home | Issue Home Canaanites, Chronologies and Connections, by Susan Cohen Eisenbrauns, 2002. Reviewed by Laurence Dixon This book is one of orthodox archaeology and consists of five chapters, which review the relationship between the Middle Kingdom of Egypt and the culture known as MBIIa in Canaan. This is an important period for any attempt to produce an alternative chronology and is a period that has rarely been discussed in such detail. Chapter 1 is headed Previous Research'. In the Introduction it is stated that determining the relationship between the MBIIa in Canaan and the 12th Dynasty in Egypt ...
