... behalf at the Conference by Birgit Leisching Megalithic culture is more than well-represented in Europe and especially in Great Britain. We are strangely touched by its remains when we encounter them: picturesque, grandiose, eminent, mysterious features of the landscape. The question of their origins, of the motives that led to their construction, depends decisively on their dating. Over the last 60 years, dolmens, menhirs and statue stelae, forts, giant's graves, and megalithic temples have been dated to totally different periods. Before we can ask ourselves, therefore, what joy of living or anticipation of death could have led to this type of architecture, we should try at least to determine the ...
182. Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning [Books]
... time be ended though not completed. While to temper such criticism as slay be bestowed upon my efforts, I quote again from the same source Dictionaries 1 are like watches; the worst is better than none, and the best cannot be expected to go quite true. Doctor Christian Ludwig Ideler's Untersuchungen iiberden Ursp'rung and die Bedeutung der Sternnamen, dated in Berlin the zd of April, 1809, is the main critical compendium of information on stellar names- Arabic, Greek, and Latin especially. It is to him that we owe the translation of the original Arabic text of Kazwini's 2 Description of the Constellations, written in the 13th century, which forms the basis of the Sternndmen ...
183. The Exodus Symposium April 23-25, 1987 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... doing an excellent job; the symposium was well conceived, well planned, and well executed. It is sincerely wished that the venture was a financial success and that other similar archaeological symposiums will follow. The various speakers represented quite a diversity of views regarding the Exodus and conquest of Canaan. Gleason Archer and Ronald Youngblood openly supported the Early Date, which places the Exodus during the eighteenth dynasty at c. 1440 B.C . and the conquest at the end of the Late Bronze I period at c. 1400 B.C . David Livingston, director of the Associates for Biblical Research, lectured on the identity of Bethel and Ai, which included a report on excavations ...
184. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Jerusalem is to be identified as that destroyed by Nebuchadrezzar II in 587/6 BC, or a Persian period destruction, perhaps in Nehemiah's time. Two bullae with identical names to biblical characters, which were found in an official excavation, are not in doubt but it is now questionable whether any additional support for the 587/6 BC date can be deduced from other bullae with biblical names and similar scripts. This question of the correct placement of Nebuchadrezzar in the archaeological strata recurs below. In the latest Qadmoniot, a Hebrew publication, is an article by Ahituv on A New Royal Inscription from Moab' (2004, pp. 88-92). I cannot read Hebrew but ...

187. A Review of Wells's Review of Sun, Moon, And Sothis [Journals] [Aeon]
... "! I preferred to have the discussions, analyses, and critiques, as well as the references, right in the text, so that the reader could proceed consecutively and not have to jump up and down the page. This is something for the author to decide, not the reviewer. Wells states that my view that the lunar dates "missing" from the 25-year cycle table were never intended to be filled in is "unacceptable to calendar specialists." Perhaps "unaccepted by some calendar specialists" would have been a better way of putting it. I devoted three chapters of my book to this subject, starting with Neugebauer and Volten, but mainly dealing with the ...
188. Shishak, the kings of Judah and some synchronisms [Journals] [SIS Review]
... be primarily a history of Judah whilst Kings appears to be primarily a history of Israel but there are endless cross-references between the two and they often present slightly differing accounts of particular incidents. Note also that almost all biblical incidents are recorded in the form in Year X of king Y' and that this was indeed almost the only system of dating available in Old Testament times. Egyptian chronology is partly in such a generally unsatisfactory state because Manetho's list of kings and reign lengths is such a very weak one from which to start. The biblical chronology, especially that of the kings of Judah, even if not entirely reliable, offers a more secure base. Correcting mistakes' in ...
189. Solar Eclipses and the Historical Record [Journals] [Horus]
... From: Horus Vol. 2 No. 1 (Winter 1986) Home | Issue Contents Solar Eclipses and the Historical Record Charles Raspil Because of Astronomy's claim that the heavens have behaved with predictable stability within the timeframe of written history, historians have often sought the astronomer's help in dating material that seems to describe celestial events; and the historian's favorite event is the solar eclipse, the time and location of which, astronomers claim they can pinpoint backward through several millennia. In these pages, it will be argued that Astronomy's confidence in celestial stability is not backed by the solar eclipse record. Using the work of the astronomer Robert R. Newton [Ancient Astronomical Observations and The ...
190. The Venus Tablets: A Fresh Approach? [Journals] [Kronos]
... , who favored -1920 to -1899. Ever since Kugler attributed the Venus tablets to the reign of Ammisaduqa, the aim of investigators has been to find a retrocalculated sequence of disappearances and appearances of Venus that will match the sequence of disappearances and appearances that is reported on the Venus tablets. This use of the Venus tablets as a means of dating the reign of Ammisaduqa is generally seen as the only exact basis for the second millennium chronology of the entire Middle East. For once Ammisaduqa is dated, and the First Babylonian Dynasty with him, the chronology of that entire region of the world is supposedly placed on a firm footing. Even those who favor this approach, however, ...
