... however, I reject this late placement of the Neo-Imperial Hittite kings.7 It is tempting therefore to consider the problem solved and declare the Aziru referred to by Mursilis as the same individual as the el-Amarna correspondent- whom Velikovsky identifies as Hazael.8 The problem cannot be solved that easily, unfortunately. When the most likely revised Egyptian andHittite dates 9 are related back to Biblical data it is clear that Hazael (Azaru?) outlived Mursilis. Before determining the time of Hazael's demise the problem of Ugarit must be addressed. By placing the complete and final destruction of Ugarit at 855,10 Velikovsky has created a series of problems. Having disposed of the concept that Shalmaneser III ...
172. The Timna Test [Journals] [Aeon]
... spring from this author's blunt assertion that the strongest evidence for the validity of this resurgence of interest centres on the more outrageous elements of Velikovsky's overall scheme for the revision of the so-called New Kingdom, embracing Dynasties XVIII through XX. What reader will fail to recall Velikovsky's "impossible" 1978 claim in Peoples of The Sea that received opinion on dating the onset of the Twentieth Dynasty was some 800 years out of synchronism with reality? Although thoroughly "debunked" following his death in November 1979, the simple fact to be gleaned twenty years down the track is that this dismissal was nothing but knee-jerk reaction, hasty and premature, the rash outcome of material jettisoned without due examination. ...
173. Megalithic Circles and Star Charts [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The building of most great stone circles is said to just precede the arrival of the first groups of Beaker people in England. Moreover, there is no evidence of earlier circles in the regions in Europe where they came from. In south-western Ireland where the Beaker people did not penetrate, another group of people built at least 80 stone circles dated approximately between 2500 BC and 2000 BC [3 ]. The majority of the investigators in this field conclude that the megalithic circles were, in general, associated with religious activities from early times. There are indications that there were sages or ruler-priests associated with the circles, based on comparison of foods found near the rings and in the ...
174. The Identification of the Biblical "Queen of Sheba" with Hatshepsut, "Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia"" [Journals] [Kronos]
... , the most famous Pharaoh of the XVIIIth Egyptian Dynasty, started his first Asiatic campaign crossing the Egyptian frontier "about the 19th of April, 1479 B.C .. .. " and " . . . went into camp on the plain by Megiddo on the 14th of May,"(3 ) does not ask how these dates were fixed. If he did, he would be in for a surprise. These dates were fixed about 70 years ago by a kind of common consent and have won final acceptance by all only after World War I. Until the year 1904, when Eduard Meyer fixed the difference between the end of the XIIth Egyptian Dynasty and the ...
175. Sothic Dating Redux (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 4 (Summer 1981) Home | Issue Contents Forum Sothic Dating Redux To the Editor of KRONOS: When I received KRONOS [VI:1 ] and read it I had neither the time nor indeed the inclination to respond to criticism that ranges from well-intentioned but at times erroneous speculation to mere nit-picking. At the moment I have some time and am persuaded to make a few comments. In the category of nit-picking I place the remarks of Lynn E. Rose. He well knows that my article was not intended to be an astronomical treatise. The very small error in reducing the decimal fraction of the tropical year to hours, ...
176. A Further Note on the Archaeology of Jericho [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Review Vol 1 No 5 (Summer 1977) Home | Issue Contents A Further Note on the Archaeology of Jericho John J. Bimson Copyright (c )1977 J. J. Bimson DR BIMSON has recently completed a doctorate thesis for the Department of Biblical Studies at the University of Sheffield, dealing with Hebrew chronology with special reference to the dating of the Exodus. He has contributed earlier articles to the Review in this area. In an article dealing with the Israelite Conquest and the revised chronology (1 ), I discussed at some length the destruction of Jericho described in the Old Testament. I argued in detail, from archaeological finds, for an identification of the collapse and ...

178. The Lion Gate at Mycenae [Journals] [Pensee]
... key monument in the history of ancient art serving, so to speak, as a kind of portentous prelude to the later sculptural works of the Classical Greeks (7 ). CHRONOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL CONSIDERATIONS Almost from the moment of its rediscovery, the Lion Gate and other adjacent material gave rise to "vehement disputes between 1880 and 1890 about the dating of the Mycenaean finds" (8 ). Dates were put forward assigning the monuments to either the years 1400-1100 B.C ., 800-700 B.C ., or Byzantine times (9 ). The latter suggestion has long been dismissed by archaeologists and art historians alike, but the other proposed dates now require careful re-examination. ...
179. Rohl's Revised Egyptian Chronology: Difficulties and an Alternative [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... History XV:1 (Jan 1993) Home | Issue Contents Rohl's Revised Egyptian Chronology: Difficulties and an Alternative Jeremy Goldberg A recent article by David Rohl appears to have presented a number of very sound Egyptological arguments for a considerable shortening of Egyptian chronology between Dynasties 19 and 26.1 However, his proposed alternative chronology2, which would down date year 67 of Ramesses II from 1213 to 867 BC, is clearly too short by a wide margin. Likewise, this appears to be the case even for Rohl and James' previous downdating of this regnal year to c. 920.3 The preceding negative conclusions already appear to be required on purely chronological grounds, as Rohl's current ...
... or an eclipsed sun is carried by two figures: this seems to give support to the interpretation of the Yazilikaya rock scenes as a memorial to the peace treaty between Cyaxares, king of Media, and Alyattes, king of Lydia. The Babylonian king who acted as mediator is thought to have been either Nabopolassar or Nebuchadnezzar, depending on the date of the eclipse: the eclipses of September 30,-610, and of May 28,-585, are rivals for the honor of having been the one predicted by Thales.8 Herodotus calls the Babylonian king who helped arrange the peace Labynetus. I am inclined to think that the peacemaker was Nergilissar, and if such was ...
