... , although a negative one .. .. In my opinion Rose does not add anything significant or new to the discussion. He rehashes some of the old nonsense in a biased way .. .. Rose somehow manages to give the impression that the appearance of the Umman-Manda in the Venus Tablets is an argument in favor of a late date! "But worst, Rose chooses to ignore some of the really important points, in particular the matter of the intercalary months. "I only realized during the meeting in San Francisco, when I could talk to Rose and others personally, that the Velikovsky supporters seem to suffer from a collective amnesia, too - they disregard hard ...
262. The Chronology of the Late Kings of Egypt [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... of this situation, the concept of still further parallelism, as yet unrecognized, should not be eliminated from serious consideration. Velikovsky Challenges the Conventional Chronology In the early 1950's Immanuel Velikovsky published a volume under the title Ages in Chaos,2 in which the conventional chronology of Egypt was challenged. It was proposed that the chronological scheme has its dates set too far back on the time scale, the deviations from actuality amounting to periods ranging from 300 to 800 years. His starting deviation from the traditional views involved a placement of the exodus incident of Scripture at the point of the Hyksos invasion. Earlier scholars had placed this incident in the XIXth dynasty in the reign of Rameses II ...
263. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... world are concretions of different materials, such as flint in chalk, and these are still in most cases geological mysteries. Ancient but Uneroded Science Frontiers 129, May-June 00, p. 3 There are many areas around the world of relatively uneroded surface which should, therefore, be considered of a fairly recent age but fossil studies and radiometric dating declare them to be tens of millions of years old. Geologists have no explanation. Inland Siberian Sea Science Frontiers 130, July-Aug. 00, p. 3 Lake Baikal in Siberia is a bit of a geological mystery. Relatively young at 20-25 Myrs, it is the world's deepest lake and contains more than 5km of sediment. Although ...
264. The Arrival of the Philistines and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... I .S . Review in this area, and is the author of "Redating the Exodus and Conquest", publicised this year by Sheffield University Press. He is currently continuing his research into the stratigraphy and chronology of ancient Palestine. The arrival of the Philistines in Canaan is usually placed in the reign of Ramesses III, but this date has always been problematic, as it makes several biblical references to the Philistines anachronistic. An earlier date alleviates this problem and bolsters the case for a revised Conquest date, also providing possible archaeological evidence of the biblical Plagues. Introduction The Philistines of the Old Testament are normally identified with one of a group of peoples known from Egyptian records ...
265. The Chronology of Israel and Judah Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... I D. Hickman 1. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to establish a logical chronology based upon the information preserved in the Old Testament. Perhaps the most famous of such chronologies are the attempts of Irish Archbishop James Ussher (1581-1656) and, in our time, Edwin R. Thiele. Ussher's researches led him to set the date of the creation of Adam at 4004 B.C . His chronology is still found sometimes in the margins of many Bibles. Thiele specialized in his work on the time of the Hebrew kings. His results are widely accepted by historians and are used in their expositions. The results of Thiele's efforts are summarized in Table I. [ ...
266. Velikovsky and the El-Amarna period [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in Ages in Chaos Although at first additional arguments were presented that the Egyptian 18th Dynasty was contemporary with the time of Solomon and the beginning of the Divided Monarchy [5 ], some scholars presented evidence which indicated that the El-Amarna period can not be fitted in the 9th century BC as Velikovsky proposed [6 ]. Some argued for higher dates and some for lower dates [7-10]. Despite all the theories, the absolute dating of the El-Amarna period remains a difficult problem and the arguments given below indicate serious chronology problems if the El-Amarna Age is set at about 840BC. Abimilki and Pygmalion According to Velikovsky, in his 4th year Shalmaneser III destroyed the city Nikdim or Ugarit ...
267. Challenges to Evolutionary Gradualism [Books]
... it difficult for anyone to put forward new catastrophist ideas, because they were unlikely to receive a fair hearing. Nevertheless, there were isolated attempts to propose models other than Élie de Beaumont's which could account for rapid wide-scale changes at the Earth's surface. For example, Major-General Alfred Wilks Drayson (1827-1901) presented in his On The Cause, Date and Duration of the Last Glacial Epoch of Geology [1 ], published in 1873, the hypothesis that the tilt of the Earth's axis of rotation relative to the perpendicular to the orbital plane varied much more than was then (or indeed now) supposed, changing from its present value of about 23 to one of around 35 and ...
268. Centuries of Darkness? - a Challenge to the Conventional Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the archaeology of Western Asia, the Aegean, prehistoric Europe and in Egyptology. Their work has benefitted not merely from the broad base thereby provided but from the exchange and cross-fertilization of information and ideas which has produced the synthesis of a major revision of the chronologies of the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages. Their main conclusion is that accepted dates for the transition from Late Bronze to Early Iron should be lowered by some 250 years, thereby eliminating the greater part of the dark ages' which are believed to have caused a major economic and cultural recession in the Mediterranean lands and Western Asia between the 12th and 9th centuries BC. Their method was to re-examine critically the archaeology of ...
269. Forum Part Two [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , during the early 6th century AD [11], some of Velikovsky's former sympathisers try to minimise or even deny major catastrophic events for these periods. I was particularly surprised when Victor Clube presented the new idea of a 2500-year cycle of cosmic catastrophes at the Cambridge Conference. Why did he only mention the collapse of the Sumerian civilisation (dated by him to ~2000 BC) and the Roman Empire (~ 500 AD), thus ignoring the catastrophes at the end of the Middle and Late Bronze Age, which were still main features of The Cosmic Winter? [12] I am equally bewildered by further claims of Bob Porter, John Bimson and Bernard Newgrosh that neither ...
270. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Hittite king Suppiluliumas thrown in for good measure. It does not help matters that Burnaburiash claims Ashuruballit is his vassal: i.e . Babylonia is ruling over Assyria. To down-date all these correspondents has proved extremely difficult and most would probably accept that Velikovsky, Courville, James and Rohl have not succeeded in doing this, at least to date. The nature and extent of this problem was first outlined to Velikovsky by Prof. Burgstahler in Pensée IVR: IV. For various reasons, Velikovsky's response was never published and no response ever appeared subsequently in Kronos. James, in SISR 4:1 , explored the possibility that Ashuruballit was known under another name, or was Ashuruballit ...
