... . the ability to walk upright. This was amply documented in such books as Richard Leakey's The Making of Mankind [3 ] and Donald Johanson and Maitland Edey's Lucy: The Beginnings of Humankind [11]. However, a decade later, the relationship between the various hominid species is still a matter of controversy. Another problem concerned the dating of specimens. Until recently, the fossils themselves could not be dated directly, nor could the sedimentary rocks they were usually found in. They had to be dated indirectly, relative to the nearest stratum of igneous rock, an estimate of whose age was usually obtained using the potassium/argon radiometric procedure. As we saw in chapter ...
282. Chapter 6 Egyptian Stratigraphy [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... past which are relatively close together in time, covering perhaps a few hundred years. At another site, supposedly founded closer to the present, we would expect to find few, if any, relics of the older period, and certainly Old Kingdom sites should not contain relics of the Middle or New Kingdoms. Cemeteries and other sites that date to 2500 B.C . should not contain relics that date to 700 B.C . This, in a general sense, is what the stratigraphy of Egypt would exhibit if the dynasties ruled one after the other over about 3000 years. If, however, the dynasties ruled contemporaneously in different districts over a far shorter period of ...
283. Fomenko and English History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... previous publications). A discussion of the whole problem of global chronology and a history of this problem one can find in A.T .Fomenko, Methods for Statistical Analysis of Narrative Texts and Applications to Chronology (Moscow University Press, 1990) and A.T .Fomenko, Empirico-Statistical Analysis of Narrative Material and its Applications to Historical Dating (Kluwer, 1994). English history is not an exemption from the rule'. We do not think that all speculations which are suggested here are final ones. Surely, they are subject to further corrections and clarification. Nevertheless, the general concept is quite clear and seems to be the final one. The aim of the ...
284. Some Detailed Evidence from Egypt Against Velikovsky's Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Velikovsky does not discuss this material, so we shall now look at some examples from it to see what effect it has on his revised chronology. The XVIIIth Dynasty, during which the village was founded [1 ], provides only slight evidence about the community. Only a handful of tombs in the vicinity of the site are known to date from that period and they are small and badly damaged. It is likely that the inhabitants belonging to the reign of Horemheb, the last ruler of the XVIIIth Dynasty, began to enlarge and refurbish earlier tombs so that they are no longer recognisable. TABLE A: Conventional data for reigns of the early dynasties of the New Kingdom XVIIIth ...
285. Buried Forests [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... ,171 Dunbavin explains that Churchill . . . was able to conclude from peats laid down in early Atlantic times [7 ,500 years ago] that a distinct tilting of the crust must have taken place since that time . . . . Churchill investigated the peat layer at several points around southern Britain and the Netherlands .. .. Dated samples taken from the base of the peat deposits all suggest the early Atlantic [period 7,500 years ago] as the approximate era when the growth of peat began. "The basis of Churchill's argument was that all of the peats he surveyed rested upon a base of marine deposits. This he took as an indication that either ...
286. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Dr Meynell felt, were especially strengthened, as Velikovsky had pointed out, by the occurrence of similar descriptions of celestial effects from different locations unlikely to have a common cultural influence; alternative explanations, such as Panbabylonism, had all proved untenable. DR EUAN MACKIE, Assistant Keeper, Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow: The Evidence of Radiocarbon Dates. Speaking without notes, Dr MacKie covered material included in the paper read by him at the Nice Congress (see Focus, last issue), to be printed in a future Review. Starting with a detailed introduction to the theory and application of radiocarbon dating and its recalibration by tree-ring dates, Dr MacKie then presented the findings of ...
287. Chapter 16 Hittites ? Lydians [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Amelie Kuhrt, as late as the mid-1990's: "It is only from c. 1650 [B .C .] on that we can begin to reconstruct Hittite history — although problems of chronological sources loom large, with occasionally totally blank periods . . . Similarly, although one of the most important texts for Hittite institutional and early history date to c. 1500 (the Edict of Telepini . . .) very little is known about Telepini himself. Again 490 VELIKOVSKIAN Vol. VI, Nos. 1, 2, 3 the period from his reign down to c. 1430 (1420) . . . is veiled in total obscurity, not helped by intense scholarly disagreement ...
288. The Place of Horemheb in Egyptian History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the Harmais whose treachery to his brother Sethosis, King of Egypt, is recounted in Flavius Josephus' polemic against Apion. This paper, which is intended as a postscript to an earlier article on the chronology of the XVIIIth Dynasty [3 ], examines the evidence for placing Horemheb at the close of this dynasty, rather than lowering his dates by over 100 years on the lines proposed by Dr Velikovsky. The position is complicated by the fact that the king lists which have survived from Dynasty XIX ignore the Amarna pharaohs and name Horemheb as the immediate successor of Thutmose IV and Amenhotep III, with Ramesses I and Seti I following Horemheb [4 ]. Since Akhenaten, Smenkhkare ...

... slippage and earthquake. This would start a chain reaction of the process, causing deep quakes at frequent intervals. One stretch of Oregon's coastline shows signs of repeated activity; raised sea levels due to the El Nino washed away sand and revealed an old forest floor of 2,000 year old tree stumps while further along the coast are stumps dated at 4,000 years, indicating large earth movements.

290. The Miracles of the Exodus by Colin Humphries and The Moses Legacy by Graham Phillips (Book reviews) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , 1906, 1834, 1546, 1534, 1267 and 1160 AD. However, we may note that Moe Mandelkehr, in C&C Review ( 'Part Two: The Geological Evidence'), claims that impact events were followed by several centuries of intermittent earthquakes at plate boundaries and along fault lines. In Chapter Three, Humphries dates Exodus and it is predictable. However, he does mention David Rohl and A Test of Time, but promptly rejects the New Chronology' on the grounds that archaeologists and historians have a well grounded framework. We've heard that sort of thing before and basically it means he is not prepared to be radical outside the parameters of his chosen ...
