272. The Age of Moses [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , Flavius Josephus, with the defeat and expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt. The nineteenth century scholars not only pieced together a chronology of Egypt's kings but they embellished it with a claim that astronomical calculations proved it. This shut the door on any further evidence which might contradict it and even led to the perversion of the only truly scientific dating method to come along in this century and I refer to the radiocarbon dating method developed by Nobel prize winner, Willard F. Libby. In another essay, Radiocarbon Dating, I allege that the tree-ring chronologists, in their effort to calibrate the radiocarbon dating method, have mismatched floating chronologies in order to conform to this "astronomically" ...

... now faced with finding a Megalithic society to suit its monuments"; which brings us to Science and Society in Prehistoric Britain. A modest proposal Dr MacKie is one of the few archaeologists to have achieved the mastery of both mathematical and astronomical data necessary for a balanced assessment of the new evidence. He correlates this data with the new carbon dates and a reinterpretation of the archaeological evidence to construct an entirely new picture of the society of Neolithic Britain. This new synthesis (which New Scientist has already called "an amazing achievement") should provoke a major reevaluation of current archaeological theories. What, then, is Dr MacKie's proposal? He argues that the current view of Neolithic ...

... of excavation reports have been coming out of inland Syria, from the Euphrates eastwards. This area is part of northern Mesopotamia and includes the basin of the River Habur (or Khabur) which flows south to join the Euphrates. The Habur is thought to have been the heartland of the Mittanian kingdom which is known from the Amarna letters, dated in the mid 14th century on OC (Old/Orthodox Chronology), when its ruler was Tushratta. An earlier king, Saushtatar (OC c.1420BC), had ruled from the Mediterranean right across the North Mesopotamian plains to Assyria and beyond to the Zagros Mountains. Numerous ancient sites line the banks of the Habur and its ...

Again, the culture appearing immediately above the fire of Ugarit, Khirbet Kerak, is culturally linked to Mesopotamian Jamdat Nasr - which however is dated a thousand years earlier; and the parallels continue right up through the sequence ...
276. On the Orientation of Ancient Temples and Other Anomalies [Journals] [Aeon]
... ) and very tentatively proposes an overall hypothesis to explain this data. These anomalies were not properly explained in the literature wherein they were first recorded. The observations have been, essentially, forgotten by the scientific community, or at least badly neglected. Even now they do not fit into any current scientific framework despite progress in the sciences of dating and great progress in the understanding of archeological sequences. Scientists make many of their most important discoveries while investigating anomalies, those empirical observations that do not fit into the accepted paradigms generally used by workers in the field. Some of these anomalies, when reconsidered in light of scientific advances, are resolved and subsequently open up new lines of ...
277. Objections to the Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , which Martin Sieff is completing as this issue goes to print, will appear in the next Newsletter. (My first three objections to Velikovsky's thesis relate essentially to the as yet unpublished sequels to Ages In Chaos : I base myself on his outline in the Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History (1945).) 1. RADIOCARBON DATES Velikovsky claims that radiocarbon tests will prove his reconstruction of ancient history to be correct. Already, the fact that a test on Tutankhamun's tomb gave a date of 1030 B.C . ( 50) is claimed in his support. (Orthodox chronology dates Tutankhamun about 1350 B.C . whilst Velikovsky dates him about 830 B. ...

279. Tutankhamen and Assyrian Art [Articles]
... the point of my talk is today. Back in 1972 I presented a paper on the Lion Gate at Mycenae, later published in PENSEE in 1973. I tried to show what the artistic basis for that monument was; as of now, the way art history is reconstructed, since it is based on historical reconstruction, on the absolute dates presented by conventional chronology, the Lion Gate of Mycenae exists in a kind of splendid isolation. Likewise, what I show you today, has a similar aspect to it. It is a chest from the tomb of Tutankhamun with painted scenes on both sides, I will show this to you momentarily. While the art of Tutankhamun has ...

... Morning Star." A human offering was made by the Pawnee Indians as recently as the last century, whenever Venus "appeared especially bright or in years when there was a comet in the sky" [quoted from Worlds in Collision, pp. 153-4, 163-4, 192-3 ff.]. The other issue raised by Kubler concerns the date of the New Year of the Mexicans. He says of me: "The author lays great value upon the Mexican New Year date as February 26, Old Style. His source here is a Jesuit, Father Acosta, who wrote ca. 1589. Acosta's source in turn was Juan de Tovar, writing ca. 1585. These ...
