... From: Aeon III:6 (Dec 1994) Home | Issue Contents The Stratigraphical Chronology of Ancient Israel Gunnar Heinsohn I. Ancient Israel Debunked? he fundamentalistically computed biblical dates for the major events in the history of ancient Israel cannot be convincingly synchronized with the stratigraphical sequence of the land's archaeological sites. This want of harmony between biblical chronology and archaeological stratigraphy is mainly due to the excavators' attempts to impose biblical dates on the strata which have actually been dated by other means- such as pseudo-astronomical (i .e ., Sothic) retrocalculations in Egyptology and arbitrarily-designed kinglists in Assyriology. Neither the biblical nor the "scholarly" dating schemes seem to be very much in ...
132. Radiometric Dating: Is the "Decay Constant" Constant? [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 4: (Fall 1974) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered IX" Home | Issue Contents Radiometric Dating: Is the "Decay Constant" Constant?John Lynde Anderson and George W. Spangler REEXAMINATION OF A FUNDAMENTAL ASSUMPTION Dr. Anderson is President of ERA Systems, Inc., a technical products business based on a number of patents he has invented. ERA (Evaporative Rate Analysis) involves equipment which characterizes material surfaces. Dr. Anderson first became aware of non-random radioactive emissions in December, 1969. Dr. Spangler is Associate Professor of Physics, University of Tennessee, and Consulting Physicist, Baroness Erlanger Hospital, Chattanooga. ABSTRACT Among other ...
133. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1998:1 (Sep 1998) Home | Issue Contents Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology Special Report: Demise of the Scientific' Date for Thera Until recently the identification of volcanoes in ice core records relied on finding higher than usual sulphate ion concentrations at particular years. Most major eruptions in the northern hemisphere emit sufficient sulphur to fall as acid rain in Greenland, hence the signature in the ice. However the method only gives illegible' signatures because all such signatures read much the same, varying only in the amount of sulphur. Now a better technique is coming into use, although difficult and time consuming, which is to locate ...
134. Velikovsky's "The Tomb of Ahiram" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... had been made by Ithobaal, son of Ahiram, king of Gwal (Byblos), "for his father as his abode in eternity". Sarcophagus of Ahiram In the chamber were fragments of alabaster vases bearing the cartouche of Ramesses II, Mycenaean ceramic and ivory objects, and also Cypriote pottery similar in style to 7th-century ware. In dating the tomb, Montet assumed that all the objects found there, including the Cypriote vases, belonged to the 13th century, when Ramesses II is generally believed to have reigned. However, there was conclusive evidence that the tomb had been violated. Accordingly, R. DUSSAUD, who agreed that the tomb belonged to the 13th century but ...
135. Sicily, Carthage, and the Fall of Troy [Journals] [Kronos]
... Age. Syracuse, on the eastern coast of Sicily, was founded- according to the almost universally accepted tradition - ca. 735 B.C .; (6 ) Thucydides wrote that "Gela was built in the forty-fifth year after Syracuse by Antiphemus, that brought a colony out of Rhodes".(7 ) This yields a date of ca. 690 B.C . for the founding of Gela on the island's southern shore.(8 ) A tradition preserved by Eusebius has Gela founded in the same year as the city of Phaselis in Asia Minor. Eusebius' date for both cities is 690 B.C ., closely matching that of Thucydides.( ...
136. A Bit Creaky? - Tree Rings, Radiocarbon and Ancient History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... C & C Workshop in 1991. Like it or not, students of ancient history, physicists and dendrochronologists (people who study tree rings) are now locked in dispute over their different interpretations of ancient history. At first, historians who were tired of trying to make sense of often scrappy archaeological evidence and dubious king-lists welcomed Willard Libby's radiocarbon dating method with open arms, hoping that scientific analysis would solve their disputes and bring certainty to their chronologies. However, sometimes the results suited and sometimes they didn't. People like Melvin Cook [1 ] pointed out that at present C14 is being formed faster than it is decaying - the concentration is increasing rather than in equilibrium - and ...
137. The Role Of The Nile In Egyptian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 3rd month of Akhet [= Inundation], day 3, (on) this day of the descent made by the water of the great inundation - (under) King of S & N Egypt, Baienre, LPH. ' Gardiner [3 ] puts the reign of Binere/Merneptah from 1224-1214'. (These are historical' dates, equivalent to astronomical' dates of from -1223 to -1213.) Retrojecting the various calendars gives III 3ht 3 Egyptian = August 26 Julian = August 15 Gregorian, -1223. Kitchen himself prefers [4 ] to have the reign lower by about 11 years, which would make III 3ht 3 Egyptian = August 23 Julian = August 12 ...
138. On "the Year -687" [Journals] [Kronos]
... , Wisconsin on October 8, 1871 were found in a similar condition.(2 ) Jewish traditions record that coincidently with this event the day was unnaturally lengthened, on the first night of Passover, near the beginning of spring.(3 ) Identifying this account with the Chinese report of a meteor shower, Velikovsky gives us the exact date: March 23rd. A whole chapter is devoted to various ancient traditions in which he finds other descriptions of the same events. On what is this date based and how securely connected are these various other traditions? MARCH 23rd Velikovsky's sources for the meteor shower, the Catalogues of Abel Rémusat and Édouard Biot, agree on this date. ...
139. The Logic of Theory-testing: Some Criticisms of MacKie [Journals] [Pensee]
... (2 ) as ". . to some extent independent of one another. Presumably (1 ) could be true without (2 ) and vice versa." Finally, MacKie says, "The numerous Specific Theories follow from the general ones and support them." (By specific theories, MacKie has in mind such things as the dates that Velikovsky has assigned for the more recent catastrophes.) MacKie would agree that the independence of two claims means that either one could be true without the other's being true, and that either one could be false without the other's being false. But then MacKie should not speak of theories that are "to some extent" independent of ...
140. The Conquest of Canaan AND THE REVISED CHRONOLOGY [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that journal's demise, examines one aspect of this question. The Conquest of Canaan AND THE REVISED CHRONOLOGY John J Bimsom JOHN J. BIMSON is a post-graduate research student in the Department of Biblical Studies at Sheffield University, and is presently bringing to completion a Ph. D. thesis dealing with early Hebrew chronology, with special reference to the date of the Exodus. Introduction As students of Velikovsky's revised chronology will know, Velikovsky places the Exodus of the Hebrew tribes from Egypt, and the subsequent conquest of Canaan by those tribes, in the 15th century BC. Velikovsky is, of course, not alone in so dating these events. They are similarly dated by all writers who ...
