... Supplement and a flurry of reviews (see C&CR XV 1993, pp. 38-9). In 1995, Peter James (main author of Centuries) delivered a paper to a colloquium at Tufts University, Massachusetts. The proceedings of the colloquium were eventually been published as Sardinian and Aegean Chronology: Towards the Resolution of Relative and Absolute Dating in the Mediterranean, M Balmuth & R Tykot (eds), Oxbow books, Oxford 1998. Chapter 7 (pp. 29-43) is Mediterranean Chronology in Crisis' by P James, N Kokkinos and I Thorpe. It ranges slightly more widely than the title of the volume and is divided into the following sections: an introduction ...
... nor is it necessary to attempt to settle all the differences of opinion which exists; and which are so ably referred to by Krall in his masterly analysis [1 ] to which I own myself deeply indebted. The tremendously involved state of the problem may be gathered from the fact that the authorities are not yet decided whether many of the dates met with in the inscriptions really belong to a fixed or a vague year! Let us, rather, put ourselves in the place of the old Egyptians, and inquire how, out of the materials they had at hand, a calendar could be constructed in the simplest way. They had the vague year and the Sirius year, ...
83. Untitled [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Proceedings of The Third Seminar of Catastrophism and Ancient History (1986) Home | Issue Contents Some New Factors Bearing Upon the Date of the Exodus William H. Shea I. Introduction The oldest historical writing in which an attempt was made to connect the biblical Exodus with Egyptian history is found in the works of Josephus (c . 90 A.D .) . There he employed some statements from the Egyptian priest Manetho (third century B.C .) to link the Exodus of the Israelites with the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt. If this connection were correct it would date the Exodus to the end of the fifteenth (Hyksos) dynasty in the ...
84. A Quantitative Test for Catastrophic Theories [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 3 No 1: (Winter 1973) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered III" Home | Issue Contents A Quantitative Test for Catastrophic Theories Euan W. MacKie Radiocarbon Dating and Catastrophism Dr. MacKie is assistant keeper, Hunterian Museum, University of Glasgow. Antiquity (December, 1971) published a paper by him entitled "Some Thoughts on Radiocarbon Dating." The paper published here was first read at the Velikovsky Symposium, Lewis and Clark College (Portland, Oregon), August 17, 1972. When assessing and testing theories which are as revolutionary and wide-ranging in their content and implications as those of Dr. Velikovsky, it is most important to define ...
85. On Sothic Dating: Some Preliminary Remarks [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 1 (Fall 1980) Home | Issue Contents On Sothic Dating: Some Preliminary Remarks Lewis M. Greenberg The conventional reconstruction of Egyptian history is based on the assumption that the Egyptians regulated their calendar according to the heliacal rising of the star Sothis ( Spdt in Egyptian), or Sirius. This is known as Sothic dating, and it has become the pillar of support for reckoning the absolute chronology of ancient Egypt. In the words of Montet: "Were it not for the dates determined by the Sothic Cycle which provide a few fixed points of reference, Egyptian chronology would be a very uncertain field." The application of ...
86. New Proposals For A Downdating the Egyptian New Kingdom [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History XV:1 (Jan 1993) Home | Issue Contents New Proposals For A Downdating the Egyptian New Kingdom Jeremy Goldberg 1. Overlapping Dynasties 20-26 In Vol. 12/2 and elsewhere, this writer has argued in detail that abundant genealogical evidence dating from the Third Intermediate Period in Egypt (= Dyn. 21-25) points to the need for a considerable shortening of the otherwise mostly obscure interval between Dynasties 20 and 26. (See also summary in this issue Interaction). This would result in much lower dates than usual for the immediately preceding Egyptian New Kingdom (Dyn. 18-20). In view of the limited possibilities for shortening the ...
87. The Chronology of Lyres [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon II:3 (1990) Home | Issue Contents The Chronology of Lyres Gunnar Heinsohn Whoever takes part in the debate on ancient chronologies will agree that the correct date for the Amarna correspondence settles it all. This correspondence connects, inter alia, the powerful nation of Mita (Mitanni in English) in Northern Mesopotamia and Syria/Israel with the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. Simultaneously, it establishes an impressive threefold sequence of civilizations- (1 ) Hyksos/Old-Hittites, (2 ) 18th Dynasty/Mitanni/Kassites/Empire Hittites, (3 ) Middle-Assyrians from Egypt to India- because group three immediately follows the Mitanni and the 18th Dynasty (group two ...
88. Dating the Trojan War [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History VIII:1 (Jan 1986) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Dating the Trojan War Arie Dirkzwager The history of Classical Greece can be divided into several periods, the first of which is called the Mycenaean Age. It started with the entry of Greek tribes into Greece (~ 1900, or in L. R. Palmer's system, [1 ] ~1600 B.C .) . During the following centuries we meet such semi-historical events as the exploits of Heracles, the expedition of the Argonauts, and the Trojan War. Some decennia after that war the descendants of the Heraclids or the immigration of the Dorians, another Greek tribe, ...

... valid, these two rulers belong in the 10th century B.C ., as does the Late Minoan I period, as does the eruption of Thera" [ p. 94 ]. Recently, a group of Danish scientists led by C. U. Hammer and H. B. Clausen postulated what they believed to be an independent dating for the Theran eruption based upon Greenland ice core analysis. The date they obtained was 1645 B.C . [C .U . Hammer, et al., Nature, 328, 1987, pp. 517-519] . The work of Hammer, et al. was reported by Walter Sullivan in the New York Times [Thursday ...
90. The Homeric Question [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1996:1 Home | Issue Contents The Homeric Question by Benny J. Peiser I have looked deeply into the question of Hesiod's date and Homer's, but it is no pleasure to me to write about it, being too aware of the extraordinary censoriousness of people in general, and most of all of those who have always opposed me in questions of poetry'. (Pausanias IX:30,3 ) The so-called Homeric Question', which has been hotly debated by scholars for many centuries, is one of the most controversial subjects in ancient history. Like critical research on the Hebrew Bible, research on Homer concerns ancient texts, ...
