... was awarded an honorary doctorate of the arts and sciences, which was a fairly historic occasion. He is also an associate editor and contributor to KRONOS where he has written some very stimulating articles on The Unstable Sun, and he is also a contributor to the SIS REVIEW. Today he will be applying his intellectual scissors to the accepted conventional dating methods- the title is "Physics, Astronomy and Chronology". Dr Earl Milton: I am pleased to be here again, if only for a brief visit to the island. The weather is much better in May, I must say, than in November, but nevertheless we have been blessed with a few good days. ...
242. The Sibylline Oracles [Books]
... 10 and Tacitus (Ann. vi. 12) doubts whether the singular or the plural is the proper number to employ. It is clear from Aristophanes that some sort of Sibylline literature was current in Greece in the fifth century B.C .11 But the Roman portion of the Sibylline story takes the literature back to a considerably earlier date. It was at the end of the sixth century b.c . that one of the Tarquins, probably Tarquinius Superbus, "canonized" such Sibylline oracles as he was wise enough to purchase, and had them laid up in the Capitol. Nine books, it is said,12 were offered to him by an old woman ...
243. The Tomb Of King Ahiram. Ch. 3. (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... use of Hebrew in Canaan before the migration of the clan of Israel to Egypt could be proven, the art of writing Hebrew in the age of the patriarchs would not follow from the Hebrew texts of Bas Shamra (written in an alphabetic cuneiform) or from the el-Amrna letters with occasional Hebrew words in them: these two series of documents date from the ninth, not the fourteenth, century.6 On the other hand, it is not surprising that during the actual intercourse between Hebrew Palestine and Egypt, from the days of Saul and Kamose to the time of Jeremiah and Ramses II, a number of Hebrew words became absorbed into the vocabulary of Egyptian scribes.7 The ...
244. A Question of Logic [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History I:2 (Apr 1979) Home | Issue Contents A Question of Logic Lester J. Mitcham It is now more than thirty years since the Theses of Immanuel Velikovsky first appeared. Many, myself included, accept their initial concept. With them it is possible to date, with reasonable accuracy, the Exodus, the Hyksos era, and the first portion of the Eighteenth Dynasty. For the last, I am aware there are several different dating methods, but I can agree in principle with Thesis 59 which places Thutmose Ill in the beginning of the ninth century, B.C . What is Velikovsky's chronology for the latter portion of ...
245. The origin of the sacred 260 day calendar of the early Mesoamerican civilisations: a hypothesis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the simplicity is lost. The longevity of the 260 day sacred calendar may be due in part to the inherent conservatism of the Mesoamerican peoples, and in part to the resonances between the new calendar round and the old cycles, both of which are centred on a subcycle of 5 synodical periods. Introduction The Maya are wellknown for having recorded dates on their monuments from the Classic period (AD 250-900, approx.) in glyphs representing the Long Count system which is a count of the number of days that have elapsed from a theoretical starting date in 3113 BC; the days are counted by means of a vigesimal (base twenty) system linked to a 360 day tun' ...
246. Dating the "Admonitions": Advance Report [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol II No 3 (1977/78) "From Exodus to Akhnaton" Home | Issue Contents Dating the "Admonitions": Advance Report Malcolm Lowery Malcolm Lowery (B .A . Hons., Newcastle Upon Tyne) is a freelance translator and Editor of the S.I .S . Review, to which he has contributed several articles. Velikovsky places the events recorded in the "Papyrus Ipuwer" contemporary with those of the Exodus, which coincides in the revised chronology with the end of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt. A paper examining the ramifications of this conclusion is being prepared, and is offered here in summary. In his book ...
247. Problems of Orthodoxy... [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. IV No. 1 (Fall 1978) Home | Issue Contents Problems of Orthodoxy...The following item has been submitted by Artur Isenberg, sometime contributor to this journal (See KRONOS II:1 , "Devi and Venus", KRONOS II:3 , "Dating the Great Mahabharata War: A Previously Neglected Clue"). The attentive reader should clearly see the applicability of Prof. Roy's words to the chronology of the pre-Hellenistic Mediterranean world. - The Ed. CHRONOLOGICAL ANKYLOSIS "Before proceeding further, a note of caution in regard to what may be called the pathology of chronological ankylosis' is necessary. The disease arises as ...
248. Old-Babylonian and Persian Terra-Cotta Reliefs [Journals] [Aeon]
... the middle of the third to the beginning of the second millennium BCE are desk-fabricated duplications of the well-known periods of the first millennium BCE. (1 ) Thus, I claim that the Sargonic Akkadians (2400 BCE onwards) correspond to the pre-Medish Assyrians (750 BCE onwards), who should not be mixed up with the Sargonids (conventionally dated to the same period but stratigraphically belonging to the Persian period). (2 ) The Neo-Sumerians (2150 BCE onwards) correspond to the Neo-Babylonian/Late Chaldeans (625 BCE onwards), whereas the Old-Babylonian Empire of the Mardu (2000 BCE onwards) represents the Babylonian satrapy of the Persian Empire (540 BCE onwards). The ...
249. Assyria: is the Conventional Profile Believable? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... those in the review period. For Tiglath Pileser III, 761-826 of Luckenbill record this ruler's annals as originally engraved upon the slabs that Esarhaddon [6 ] vandalised. The restored record is nowhere as complete as one would like but sufficient does remain and in enough order to enable a fair reconciliation between it and the Limmu Lists. The first date noted [7 ] is Revolt in the city of Calah' and it precedes the entry Tiglath Pileser took his seat on the throne and marched to the territory between the rivers'. In his second [8 ] and third [9 ] year detailed records we find that he went against Namri' in his second year and was ...
250. The Nature and Scale of an Exodus Catastrophe Reassessed [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , objective weighing of the evidence. One of these articles employed knowledge of megalithic astronomy to assess the likelihood that cosmic catastrophes had occurred in historical times. MacKie's conclusions can be summarised as follows: It is virtually beyond dispute that some British megalithic alignments served as astronomical observatories. Archaeologically datable finds associated with some of the alignments, and radiocarbon dates for a number of them, place their construction in the period c.2300-1800 BC. Two in particular were solstitial observatories aimed at a celestial body which can hardly have been anything other than the Sun. From these it can be deduced that the Earth's geographical poles were in exactly their present positions when the stones were set up, ...
