... the subject of this article. By revising the Conventional Chronology in the manner described below, the foundation is provided for a series of viable chronologies. Details of these form the subject of a further article which presents an Absolute Chronology (AC) for key countries of the Ancient World. Compared with the Conventional Chronology, the proposed Absolute Chronology dates show a progressive reduction. Back to about 664AC the two are very similar but then, as a result of the redating of the Third Intermediate Period' the gap widens, increasing to 200 years at 977AC, the 8th year of Ramesses III. From then on, due to various minor adjustments, the difference varies between 200 and ...
222. The Israelite Conquest of Canaan [Journals] [Aeon]
... four periods are either lacking in unambiguous layers or strata assigned to them, or are too few to cover the centuries over which these eras are believed to have lasted. The surprise did not end there: Where the nations known from written sources left no undisputed traces, three rich strata groups on top of each other were dug up and dated to the 3rd and the first half of the 2nd millennium B.C .E . The older ones were assigned to two different nations completely unknown to this very day, though their cultic material remains are remarkably suggestive of the "later" Canaanites and Israelites and are, therefore, sometimes called proto-Canaanite and proto-Israelite. The third group ...
223. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... taken on an ocean voyage in 1762 navigators had no reliable means of determining longitude and the first recorded landing on Antarctica was not until 1895. Before the 18th century, all great explorers apparently depended upon luck and before the 19th century the existence of Antarctica was unknown. Or was it so? In Turkey, the Piri Re'is map, dated to 1513, depicted a world with a correct longitude and the outline of a continent at the south pole which tallies with what is now known to be the coast but which is still hidden by ice. This map cannot be explained away by chance correspondence because there are dozens of other maps showing equally awkward to explain land arrangements. ...
224. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... MALCOLM LOWERY, and summarised much of the new material which had come to light since the publication of Ages in Chaos in 1952 to support the main argument of that book that the Exodus and the Conquest of Canaan should be synchronised with the end of the Middle Kingdom in Egypt and of the Middle Bronze Age in Palestine, and that the dates of the Egyptian Eighteenth Dynasty should be lowered by 500 years, making it contemporary with the first two hundred years of the Israelite monarchy. In particular, the paper mentioned the tabulation of simultaneous destructions in the Middle East by CLAUDE SCHAEFFER in his Stratigraphie Comparée... and his confirmation that such catastrophes brought major civilisations to an end ...
225. Towards an astronomical dating of the pyramids [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1996:2 (May 1997) Home | Issue Contents Towards an astronomical dating of the pyramids by Michael G. Reade Michael G. Reade DSC has contributed several astronomical' articles to SIS publications. His astronomical expertise derives from wartime experience as a Navigating Officer in the Royal Navy (1940-44). Since then, his principal activities have been in food technology and woodland management. Summary A detailed study of the claim that the pyramids of Giza were planned to mirror the constellation of Orion on the ground supports this hypothesis but reveals that the ancient Egyptians cannot have been quite such precise surveyors as is frequently claimed and that the era when ...
226. On the Survival of Velikovsky's Thesis in 'Ages in Chaos' [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... that his later proposal for meeting the demand for reconstructing the chronology of the late dynasties will not stand up to scrutiny. It is deemed out of the question to move the nineteenth dynasty out of its conventional position following the Amarna period, as he proposed. Furthermore, he has not taken into consideration the necessary and corresponding movement of the dates for the archaeological ages. His proposal to place dynasties XXI and XXII down in the Persian period, reaching into the fourth century, is also highly questionable. To these objections the writer would add several other shortcomings not so generally recognized but nevertheless in need of consideration relative to the ultimate problem of his thesis' survival. Among these ...
227. The Foundations of the Assyro-Babylonian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 934-609 BC) has been the so-called Eponym Canon', a list of annually appointed officials, or limmus, covering the period from 911 to 648 BC [1 ]. As the limmu (eponym) gave his name to the year during which he held the eponymy, a list of successive eponyms could serve as a convenient means of dating different events; (" In the limmu of so and so .. . etc.") The king, too, held the eponymy, usually (but not always) in the first or second year of his reign. From time to time the statement is made that the Eponym Canon is firmly anchored to a solar eclipse ...
228. Mycenae, the Danube, and Homeric Troy [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. X No. 2 (Winter 1985) Home | Issue Contents Mycenae, the Danube, and Homeric Troy Jan N. Sammer In Danube in Prehistory, Gordon Childe tells of the fierce controversy" occasioned by the various attempts at dating the Hungarian urnfields. Did they belong to the Late Bronze Age (before ca. 1100 B.C .) as some authorities argued, or should the indications of their close relation to the Iron Age or the Halstatt period that begins ca. 800 B.C . be considered decisive, as another group of scholars urged?(1 ) There is much to be said for the Iron Age dating - ...
229. A Corrected Date for Carthage, II [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History II:2 (Jun 1980) Home | Issue Contents A Corrected Date for Carthage, II Lester J. Mitcham In the last issue I challenged the findings of Donovan Courville with regard to Tyrian chronology. As part of that challenge I amended the reign lengths of the Tyrian kings as yielded by Moscati, in order to bring them into line with Courville's stated figures. This was, as I now realize, a pointless exercise, as Moscati's dates do in fact add to the total that Courville stated as correct. I now accept the Loeb Classical Library translation as being a more accurate interpretation of Josephus-Against Apion than the Whiston translation, which ...
230. Velikovsky, Solomon, strata [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1999:2 (Oct 1999) Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky, Solomon, strata From: bb089@scn.org (James Conway) Date: Sat, 15 May 1999 17:07:14 -0700 (PDT) James Conway wrote: The tales of Solomon's wealth is in dispute because according to Velikovsky his archaeological strata is displaced by 5 ½ centuries further in time making the strata assigned to him lacking of any artifact at all that could be intelligently connected to his reign. Clark Whelton wrote: Did V. say that? I wasn't aware of it. Where did he say it? James Conway writes: A quick look did ...
