... of the Medes a technological mystery is also solved: the frequent mention of iron in the 18th dynasty. (Iron smelting was only supposed to happen in the 6th century.) It is highly improbable that Egypt imported iron objects for 800 years without learning the technology itself. Although there is supposed to be a 1500 year difference between the destruction layers of the Old Akkadians and the Ninos Assyrians, these layers are similar, with traces of brimstone. This ties in with the Hyksos and the biblical Exodus and should all be put in the 8th to 7th century BC. The parallels between the Mardians of Persian times and the Martu mentioned in the Amarna letters are many, and ...
492. Sargonids and Achaemenids [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of the murderous Kurtiwaza/Ashurnasirpal. Thus the youthful Cyrus/Tiglath-Pileser, who was himself of a minor branch of the Median royal family, sought to establish the legitimacy of his own rule over the Medes. It was then this second Tukulti-Ninurta who records the carrying-off of 28,800 Hittite prisoners (10) and is credited with the destruction of the Hittite Empire. He also conquered Babylon, and was universally regarded as the first enemy to capture that mighty metropolis. So memorable was this victory that an epic poem commemorated it. From this literary work we hear how the Babylonian king Kashtiliash had been spurned by the gods, and how a great battle was fought to the ...

... a constellation outlining a man wielding a club in his left hand and a sling in his right." [4 ] One of the most popular gods in North America was the so-called Thunderbird, described as a towering bird spanning heaven (see Figure 2). Numerous tribes preserve traditions of the bird that hurls lightning from heaven, bringing destruction and fire: "The well-nigh universal American conception of the thunder is that it is caused by a bird or brood of birds- the Thunderbirds. Sometimes the Thunderbird is described as huge, carrying a lake of water on its back and flashing lightnings from his eyes; sometimes as small, like some ordinary bird in appearance- even ...
494. The Chaldeans of Sumer [Journals] [Aeon]
... Ebla-ite" shows more affinities with the polished, sophisticated Hebrew of the literary prophets, most especially Isaiah, rather than with the early austere Hebrew of the Mosaic books. f) As with Ur and Sumer, the metallurgical achievement of Ebla belongs after the later Middle Bronze breakthrough, in the context of John Dayton's work. g) The destruction of Ebla by Sargon the Great belongs with the destruction of the Israelite state and the deportation of its people by Sargon II. The "coincidence" that a proto-Hebraic state met its end at the hands of another "Sargon," also from Mesopotamia, some 1,200-1,000 years before, is hard to take. h ...
495. The Merlin 'Vision' and the 6th Century 'Event' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... watery cloud, having one end trailing along the ground, and the other above, proceeding in the air, and passing through the whole country like a shower going through the bottom of valleys. Whatever living creatures it touched with its pestiferous blast, either immediately died, or sickened for death...and so greatly did the aforesaid destruction rage throughout the nation, that it caused the country to be nearly deserted'. It says St. Teilo left Wales for Brittany to escape the Yellow Pestilence, which lasted 11 years. The Saxons returned, reportedly unopposed, into the eastern areas of the Arthurian wastelands', begging the question, could the vision' of Myrddin ...
496. The Arrival of the Philistines and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... el-Ajjul. Fragments have been found in the courtyard area of Palace I, but some writers suggest that this area remained in use into the period of Palace II, and that the bichrome ware should therefore be regarded as intrusive in the Palace I level [23]. It seems feasible to suggest that the invading Philistines were responsible for the destruction of City III, though it is also possible that its destruction was the work of Amalekites occupying the Negeb (where we find them settled a short while after the Exodus; cf. Num. 13:29); in view of Velikovsky's identification of the biblical Amalekites with the Hyksos [24], the Amalekite occupation of the ...
497. The Stationary Period of the Satellites [Books]
... more, the gravitational powers gripped at the terrestrial surface more and more tangentially. This meant that they eventually not only lifted' the terrestrial surface immediately below the satellite, but they also dragged' towards the satellite those areas of the Earth's crust which were situated more to the north and south. Diagram 11 - Deposition, Folding, and Destruction of Stratified Rock This tangential pull at last became powerful enough to wield supreme tectonic influence. The satellite's powers not only gripped the great Tertiary strata complex which had been built up, they also took hold of the Mesozoic underground, and all the rocks underlying that, sedimentary or primeval, right down to the magmatic layer which separates the ...

... this saying? ' And the priest replied, You are young in soul, every one of you. For therein you possess not a single belief that is ancient and derived from old tradition, nor yet one science that is hoary with age. And this is the cause thereof: There have been and there will be many and divers destructions of mankind, of which the greatest are by fire and water, and lesser ones by countless other means. For in truth the story that is told in your country as well as ours, how once upon a time Phaethon, son of Helios, yoked his father's chariot, and. because he was unable to drive it along ...

... should spread out to the west and to the east, a greater promise than that given to his fathers Abraham and Isaac, to whom He had allotted a limited land. Jacob's was an unbounded possession.[139] From this wondrous dream Jacob awoke with a start of fright, on account of the vision he had had of the destruction of the Temple.[140] He cried out, "How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, wherein is the gate of heaven through which prayer ascends to Him." He took the stone made out of the twelve, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil ...
500. The Exodus Symposium April 23-25, 1987 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... his mind again! An open mind and willingness to acknowledge errors and change positions are virtues, but one got the impression that he, like a few others, was quite bewildered by the problems evident at this point. Dr. Bimson presented his arguments for placing the conquest at the end of the Middle Bronze and against associating the Palestine destructions with the eighteenth-dynasty wars against the Hyksos (the conventional thinking). He also responded to critics with his proposed redating of the end of Middle Bronze from the conventional c. 1550 to c. 1425 B.C . Many of his points were weak and unimpressive; one example is his response to van Seter's review of his book ...
