... From: Aeon III:3 (Oct 1993) Home | Issue Contents Astronomical Dating and Calendrics Gunnar Heinsohn I. The Debunked Masterpiece of astronomical dating: Sothic chronology A. The Pre-Sothic Dating Scheme of Comparative World History he most important and, at the same time, the most detrimental use of astronomical dating ever applied to ancient history was the Sothic cycle of modern Egyptology. From its very inception it could not convince trained astronomers (1 ) or astronomically-minded historians of its validity. (2 ) Its purpose was to independently buttress Biblical chronology. It is not generally known today that from the 2nd to the late 19th century, chronologies of the ancient Near East and, ...
22. The Sothic Dating of the Twelfth and Eighteenth Dynasties [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 1 (Fall 1980) Home | Issue Contents The Sothic Dating of the Twelfth and Eighteenth Dynasties Richard A. Parker Editor's Note: The following article has been reprinted from STUDIES IN HONOR OF GEORGE R. HUGHES [Studies in Ancient Oriental Civilization, 39 (Jan. 12, 1977), pp. 177-189] by permission of Professor Richard A. Parker. - LMG Recently Ronald D. Long has taken modern scholars to task for placing uncritical and undeserved reliance upon the earliest Sothic dates as firmly establishing the chronological setting of the Twelfth and Eighteenth Dynasties.(1 ) His point is that when these dates were first published ...
23. Date of Amarna Letters from Tyre and a Possible Date for Carthage [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History II:1 (Aug 1979) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Date of Amarna Letters from Tyre and a Possible Date for Carthage Lester J. Mitcham Some time ago I had occasion to query with Dr. Donovan Courville his method of calculating 824 B.C .as the date for the founding of Carthage based on Tyrian chronology. The main problem is that the individual reigns for the Kings of Tyre as yielded by Josephus do not equal the stated total of one hundred and forty-three years from the twelfth year of Hiram to the seventh of Pygmalion. Courville's reply to this query was simple "It is the total which is correct. ...
24. The Restoration of Ancient History [Articles]
... major areas of antiquity. IV. How could historical periods wo well known from Greek authors be shown to be "elusive", whereas in the very same territories modern archaeology revealed sensationally ancient civilizations unknown before the late 19th century? V. Reconnecting occidental and oriental progress of civilization. VI. The restoration of ancient Israel by abandoning fundamentalist dates of historical biblical narratives and pseudo- scholarly dates of strata in the land of Israel. VII. Synchronization of ancient Eurasian chronology with the chronology of ancient China. In the last 150 years the learned world was time and again struck by the discovery of lost nations and forgotten empires which were so ancient that even the best historians of ...
25. Chronological Problems in the Archaeology of the Hittites [Journals] [SIS Review]
... studied lay in south-eastern Anatolia and northern Syria, at sites such as Hamath, Carchemish, Sakçagözü and Zinjirli. The Hittite stone reliefs and other sculpture of this area clearly showed the influence of nearby Mesopotamia, and the relationship of Hittite art to that of the Babylonians and Assyrians was evaluated. A major concern, of course, was the dating of these monuments. While much of the north Syrian art showed unmistakable Neo-Assyrian influence, placing it firmly in the 1st millennium BC, the dating of the monuments at sites on the central Anatolian plateau (such as Alaça Hüyük, Bogazköy and Yazilikaya) was open to debate. They showed less definite Mesopotamian elements, and some thought they ...
26. Radiocarbon Dates and Cultural Change [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol III No 4 (Spring 1979) Home | Issue Contents Radiocarbon Dates and Cultural Change Euan W. MacKie Dr MacKie, author of "The Megalith Builders" and "Science and Society in Prehistoric Britain", is Assistant Keeper in the Hunterian Museum of the University of Glasgow. He has excavated at Mayan and Scottish sites and published numerous articles and historic journals, and is a founder member of the Society. If severe natural catastrophes as suggested by Velikovsky affected a wide area in the past, this is likely to have resulted in marked cultural discontinuities - rise and fall of cultures, movements of peoples, etc. In its important role of ...
27. A Revised Astronomical Chronology for Egypt [Articles]
... you will see, that qualifies him very well to speak about Egyptology which is his subject this afternoon, and it's on the revised astronomical chronology for Egypt." John Fermor: "The point of that introduction was that I speak to you without a shred of authority on the subject. Moreover, my subject is to do with Sothic dating, that's putting my head into the lion's mouth among Velikovskians because according to one chapter of the bible, as it were, Peoples of the Sea, we should hear no more about Sothic dating. However, I feel we should hear more about it. I had better explain very briefly what it is. It came out of ...
28. Radiocarbon Dating and Velikovskian Catastrophism [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 3 No 2: (Spring-Summer 1973) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered IV" Home | Issue Contents Radiocarbon Dating and Velikovskian Catastrophism Thomas Mowles Evidence supporting Worlds in Collision' Thomas Mowles is an engineer, Inorganic Materials Research Division, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Berkeley, California. 1. INTRODUCTION In Worlds in Collision Velikovsky proposed a physical, catastrophic hypothesis based primarily upon historical evidences (1 ). Scientists, however, will not accept such a hypothesis unless the physical evidence is compelling, and historians are not likely to interpret their own data in opposition to the "laws of science." Nor will purely theoretical models carry much weight in supporting so revolutionary ...
29. Thera: Chronology at a Crossroads? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Santorini) in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The fall-out in the form of ashes is detectable throughout large areas of the eastern Mediterranean, the Aegean region, and on the island of Crete. Pottery of a type known as Late Minoan IA was found straddling the lava deposits on Thera, and archaeologists have used this pottery as a means for dating the major second millennium BC eruption. The Late Minoan IA period has thus been dated to 1550-1500 BC, and the eruption of Thera dated to 1500 BC. This dating, it must be stressed, is purely an archaeological one. As its basis we find the dating of Mycenaean pottery in Egyptian New Kingdom contexts, and through the ...
30. A Slice Through Time (dendrochronology and precision dating) by M. G. L. Baillie [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1996:2 (May 1997) Home | Issue Contents REVIEWS A Slice Through Time (dendrochronology and precision dating) by M. G. L. Baillie Batsford, London, 1995 This is a book with a broad spectrum of appeal. It will interest students of the history of science; it is essential reading for those who wish to learn more about dendrochronology, of prime importance to those whose passion is chronology or the application of chronological techniques, and a gold mine for catastrophists of all persuasions. Historians have much to learn from its pages, especially art historians, Dark Age historians and Egyptologists, though whether they will rise ...
