... has published two books: Aristotle's Syllogistic (1969) and Sun, Moon, and Soth is: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt (1999). He is also the author of numerous articles on Greek philosophy. ancient calendars and archaeoastronomy. Summary A more careful reading of the Canopus Decree enables us to retrocalculate Sothic dates much more precisely than ever before. Middle Kingdom lunar documents fail to fit in the second millennium but they do fit in the 4th century, with the IIII prt 16 heliacal rising of Sirius in -394. My modified-Philolaos' model (1979) remains viable today: Earth once orbited Saturn, always keeping the same face toward Saturn, ...

193. Pygmalion, Prince of Tyre, and the el-Amarna Correspondence [Journals] [Kronos]
... Tyre, and the el-Amarna Correspondence Bronson Feldman INTRODUCTION In Ages in Chaos, Immanuel Velikovsky devoted no less than three chapters to a detailed discussion and analysis of the royal correspondence of the Pharaoh Akhnaton and his father, Amenhotep III.(1 ) Velikovsky's intent was to show why that correspondence, commonly known as the el-Amarna letters, should be dated in the ninth century B. C. as opposed to its present placement in the fourteenth. Contained in Velikovsky's overall discourse, is the identification of various dramatis personae of the alleged fourteenth century B. C. correspondence with their "alter egos" of the ninth century B. C. Thus, it is argued that Burnaburiash of ...
194. The Calendar [Journals] [Aeon]
... then the very accurate measurement of the Sun's annual situation for each day and phase of the year would be noted with great precision. They would have known! We should not thus denigrate their observational skills. If they recorded a year of 360 days, then added five more days for whatever reason, we should believe their calculations. The dating of the addition of those five days becomes vital to understanding the transition process of ancient calendars. On the other side of the world, the Maya left some evidence that they acknowledged years of 360 and 365 days together with other calendars requiring 364, 260 and 819 days. These significant revelations should have rung warning bells for Velikovsky. ...
195. Epilogue: Questions And Answers (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... stand before the bar? 7. And what is the verdict coming from radiocarbon laboratories? I gave the story in short in the Introduction to my Peoples of the Sea. In Pensée VI, Winter 1973-74, pp. 5ff., I published a collection of letters spanning two decades, detailing my efforts to obtain radiocarbon tests of materials dating from the Egyptian New Kingdom. The single test which I succeeded in having performed in 1964 brought a result that vindicated the reconstructed version of history. In Pensée IV, Spring-Summer 1973, pp. 12ff., which was devoted to the bearing of radiocarbon dating on the revised chronology, I published also a paper of mine on " ...
196. In Defence of the Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... raised. In Defence of the Revised Chronology Martin Sieff Copyright (c ) M. Sieff 1976 An Answer to John Day The same numbering of the sections has been adopted for easier reference; sections 7 to 9 will follow in the Spring Issue, with further thoughts from John Day and any other points to be made. 1. RADIOCARBON DATES I agree with John Day that radiocarbon dating is a two-edged sword. But, accordingly, if Velikovsky cannot claim radiocarbon confirmation, neither can he be rejected on radiocarbon refutation. The sword cuts both ways! Day points out that "a radiocarbon dating of an object of the 25th-26th Dynasties gave the date 280 BC ( 130), ...
197. Chapter 15 Dark Ages Based on Dark Scholarship [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... CONTENTS 444 VELIKOVSKIAN Vol. VI, Nos. 1, 2, 3 CHAPTER 15 DARK AGES BASED ON DARK SCHOLARSHIP "I have myself . . . been deeply aware that the calendar dates for ancient Greece in the time-range 1000-600 BC are based on a very odd line of reasoning. Greek pottery in this period is dated by finds of such pottery made in Italy (in the Greek colonies in the west), and is based on the foundation dates' for these colonies given by such respected historians as Thucydides. But no one has ever explained to me why we should pin our faith on dates given by Thucydides for events some centuries before his own time. Nor ...
198. Abimilki, Azaru and Nikmed in the El-Amarna Correspondence and the Assyrian Annals [Journals] [Kronos]
... in the el-Amarna letters addressed to Amenhotep III and Akhnaton. While I agree with Feldman that Velikovsky is very probably correct in his 9th-century placement of the el-Amarna archive, I would like to make a few comments on some crucial points of his paper where I feel he has omitted important facts from the discussion or has misunderstood the data. THE DATE OF PYGMALION Under the sub-heading "Pygmalion-Abimilki and the Royal House of Tyre", Feldman presented a short survey of the relevant political events in Syria-Palestine during the third quarter of the 9th century B.C . Towards the beginning he stated: "Sometime after the death of Mattan-Baal's father - Baalazor - Shalmaneser III came to fight Hazael the ...
199. Science, Technology and the Chronology of the Ancient World [Journals] [Aeon]
... Sphinx had been built before 2500 BC, Ginenthal suddenly changes tack and concludes that it had actually been constructed much later, as required by the theories of Heinsohn and Sweeney. He speculates that, contrary to what is generally accepted, the rainy period continued until around 1500 BC. [4 ] Nevertheless, Ginenthal makes clear that his preferred date for the construction of the Sphinx is not based on geological evidence. He says that the justification will be presented later in the book, which, at this point, is perfectly reasonable. The Giza sphinx- how old is it? (Photograph by Dwardu Cardona.) Although acknowledging from the start that he accepts the conclusions of ...
200. Ancient Near Eastern Chronology Revised [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . The diagram above illustrates the principles of generalized archeological stratigraphies which obviates the need to find levels A through E, for example, at one site, in order to establish the sequence A to E. I will elaborate on the fatal flaw of the archeologies from Egypt to the Indus Valley by focusing on the Mitanni, which are conventionally dated to the -15th/ -14th century. As might be known, the Mitanni are quite a recent acquaintance to history: "The kingdom of Mitanni was completely forgotten for millennia until discoveries in the [19th] century revealed its name and existence." (1 ) Today, however, the Mitanni provide the most important archeological synchronisms for ...
