... such an implausible, not to say fantastic idea, is passed over in the textbooks without comment. The letter of Hori was written in hieratic Egyptian (4 ), but, as we shall now see, texts written in alphabetic Hebrew script, and a late development of the script at it, have also been found associated with material dating to the time of Ramses II. The King of Byblos In 1922 the French archaeologist Pierre Montet discovered a series of royal tombs whilst excavating at the ancient site of Byblos, the biblical Gwal. The most important of these was found to belong to a king Ahiram, or Hiram, a name common enough among Phoenician kings. A ...
312. The Solar Eclipse of Mursilis II [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... occurs in the annals of his tenth year and was first translated by Forrer: [1 ] While I marched towards the land Azzi, the sun became obscured. The eclipse was assigned to 13 March 1335 B.C ., putting his accession in 1345. At the time, the assigned eclipse fit rather well with the widely assumed date of 1346 for the death of Suppiluliumas I. As Lehmann noted, however, [2 ] astronomers later found that the 13 March eclipse "would have been only partially visible in Hattusa, whereas five years earlier, in 1340, a far more impressive- i.e . total- eclipse could have been observed there." ...
313. The Search for Sethos [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... :1 (1980/1 ), p.25, I promised to discuss in a subsequent paper the identity of the Egyptian king whom Herodotus calls Sethos. The projected paper was referred to there (in n. 132) as Sennacherib, Sethos and the Year 701', my intention being to discuss in a single paper the date of the campaign against Jerusalem in which the army of Sennacherib was dramatically destroyed (11 Kings 19:35-36), and the identity of Sethos, under whom Egypt, like Jerusalem, was threatened by Sennacherib, and was also unexpectedly saved from defeat by the sudden humiliation of the Assyrian host. Since then, two events have occurred ...
314. On the Disproportion between Geological Time and Historical Time Part One - Of Apes and Men [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ." [6 ] Suspending our critical faculty, we believe despite being unable to imagine. The assumption that such lengths of time existed, to be filled somehow and anyhow, obliges belief. And of course we assume that immense lengths of time existed, because organic evolution could not have happened without them. Since Kroeber wrote, the date of the first appearance of tool-making man has been pushed back even further, so that the problem has only become worse. The period during which man failed to progress beyond the crude technique of fashioning a tool by striking a few flakes from a stone core (in Africa called the Oldowan' tradition) is now reckoned to be some ...

If the standard is incorrect, archaeological problems will be created in the countries which use this standard as a reference. In Ages in Chaos, Velikovsky describes a number of these problems and demonstrates how these problems are resolved by use of a revised chronology. Some of these points will be reviewed here, ...
316. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... pattern being that of ancestral forms, the central pattern being that of the species in question and the basal pattern being "predictive of the appearance of descendant species". How does natural selection get a chance to act upon an unerupted tooth? The implication has to be that evolution is powered from within. Beware also of a recent tautological dating technique. The rather wild claim that "a single rodent tooth can be used to assess the age of a human skull or a prehistoric settlement", depends very precariously upon the assumption of gradual progression of one tooth form to another and the pre-knowledge of dates for earlier and later forms. Reconstruction of ancient climates and environments is also ...
317. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that Jupiter and Saturn are very different and cannot simply be classified together as the gas giants'. GEOLOGY British Mammoth (Daily Mail, 21.1 .04. p. 11) A large mammoth skull has been found in a gravel pit in Gloucestershire. This is only the second one to be found in Britain. It is dated to 50,000 years ago, conveniently in the middle of an interglacial period', and readers will not be surprised to learn that it still has the remains of its last meal between its teeth and is probably so well-preserved because it got buried really rapidly. ' Warming Means More Snowfall (Scientific American, Jan. 2004, ...
318. The Dark Ages hiatus: a response to Clark Whelton [Journals] [SIS Review]
... reported by John Crowe in the C&CR 1998:2 . Whelton's arguments are summarised below. Following the work of the German historians Illig, Niemitz and others he claimed that there are three phantom centuries inserted in the chronology between 600AD and 900AD. This arose (whether partly or wholly is not clear) because of the convention of dating the master chronology relative to Regnal years. Absolute dating did not start properly until the l3th century. This led to an overestimate of the elapsed period between the Julian calendar reform in 45BC and the 15th century when Anno Domini (AD) dating became commonplace. The historical period of 16 centuries should have meant the removal of 13 days ...
319. Confessions of a Cenoist [Journals] [Aeon]
... Had the body of poor old Red Christian finally been discovered, or were the peat-blackened remains an important historic relic? When the argument spilled into the national press, the antiquity of the bog relic became a matter of general concern. Danish officials took specimens of the mummified flesh, and sent them to a science laboratory for analysis. Carbon-14 dating soon rendered the authoritative verdict: The samples were 1650 years old. With this pronouncement, the discussion was at an end. The corpse belonged to ancient history, not to recent memory. The press wrapped up the bog-man episode without regard for the old woman's disdain of carbon-14 dating. The old woman's predicament is very much like my ...
320. The Extinction of the Mammoth by Charles Ginenthal (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... as it is today. It is a great problem which the establishment usually sweeps under the carpet or attempts occasionally to explain by ad hoc arguments concerning isolated elements such as the mammoth. One of their favourites is to visit the sins of modern man, with his predilection for decimating his fellow creatures, on to his forebears. The accepted date of 12,000 years ago for the arrival of man in America coincides with the end of ice age theory for the extinction of the mammoth, thereby leading some researchers to implicate man in the extinction. Ginenthal, however, shows how the evidence for a much earlier arrival of man in America does not tie in with these ideas ...
