... past epochs, as written down in the palaeontological layers from several hundreds of millions of years, shows that no calm evolution can be read into the text, neither from a stratigraphical nor a palaeobiological viewpoint. Violent revolutions, biological cataclysms, must have happened at least sometimes. (p . 1211) The catastrophism of Nilsson is even more destructive than that of Velikovsky, and some of what Velikovsky reports secondhand, Nilsson knows firsthand from the paleobotany of German coal seams. But like Velikovsky, Nilsson is convinced that only an extra-terrestrial force could account for the magnitude of destruction clearly recorded in the various sedimentary deposits around the world. The fossil record is not fragmentary but rather presents ...
572. Mammoth Update: A Reply to Ellenberger (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... especially when a high percentage of rings are missing? 5) Why is only the final chronology published, with refusal to release the data upon which it is based? 57. Cardona, p. 82. 58. Because Mars is so much smaller than Venus, the Mars events, as Velikovsky realized, could not have been as destructive as the Venus events. The degree of destruction claimed by Velikovsky for the Mars and Venus events has not been reconciled with the geological evidence with special emphasis on the dating. Granted that there is abundant evidence for upheavals, the accepted dates for them do not fit a Velikovskian time frame. The torque required to produce a pole shift ...
573. The Timna Test [Journals] [Aeon]
... appears reasonable, there are elements of the Timna discovery which disturb that harmony by seeming to point to an earlier period for the original building. In this regard we introduce, immediately below, substantial evidence for a Dynasty XVIII presence at Timna which, if verified, would dramatically change the presently held time-slot for the temple's cycle of construction, destruction, and reconstruction. This writer will therefore float a competing theory- that the temple was erected in Dynasty XVIII and subsequently destroyed during an extended period of decline in Egyptian power leading into Dynasty XlX, at which point it was reconstructed, remaining more or less intact until somewhere beyond Ramesses V of Dynasty XX. In due course we ...
574. Ice Cores and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... data has appeared [Friedrich et al 1990] with surprising results as follows. (All the radiocarbon dates are uncorrected.) The dates are certainly in chronological order but 300 to 400 years lower than the ones accepted by the establishment today. We shall see below that the date for Thera is very interesting. Dates Official New C14 Knossos destruction level (* barley grains) 1450BC 1160BC* Santorini (Thera) (* seeds (6 samples)) 1627BC 1063BC* Sesostris III (* funeral boat 7 samples) 1878-1843BC 1593BC* Thutmosis III 1450-1425BC 1080BC Amenophis III 1417-1379BC 1083BC Tel El Amarna 1378-1361BC 1050BC Tutankhamun 1352BC 980BC Horemheb 1320BC 936BC Ramesses II (* average of 6 samples ...
575. The Hamon-Gabriel-Mars Connection (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Tractate Shabbat 56b of the Jerusalem Talmud. In all of this Velikovsky was correct. More importantly, none of it was of his own invention. The only conclusion that can be laid directly at his door is that since Gabriel was Mars, Isaiah 33:3 can be made to refer to that planet thus reinforcing his belief that the destruction of Sennacherib's army was somehow connected to a close encounter with Mars. Yet, like Forrest, I disagree with this conclusion. Why, then this argument with him? Had Forrest restricted his criticism to Velikovsky's conclusion, he would have received no flak from me - at least not on this point. But to give the impression that ...
576. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... into the realms of Greek pottery. Early in 2003 Coldstream and Mazar published a joint article on the Greek Geometric style sherds from Tel Rehov (Israel Exploration Journal, 2003, pp. 29-48; Mazar is the excavator and Coldstream is an expert on Geometric pottery). There were early Middle Geometric I (MG I) sherds in the destruction of Str. IV at Rehov (Sherds 7 & 8), and Euboean Subprotogeometric (SPG) sherds originating from Str. V (Sherds 5 & 6; numbers accidentally reversed in the illustrations on pp. 34-35). Subsequently more sherds from the same SPG pyxis were found (Sherds 9-11; IEJ 2004, pp. 24-6 ...
577. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Hittite site, Tille Hoyuk, gave a surprisingly late dendro-date for its final Hittite fortified gateway. It was originally published with the timber felling date of c. 1135 37 BC (on grounds that were highly dubious anyway - see C&CW 1994:1 p. 20), i.e . the earliest possible date for its destruction would be 1172BC assuming it was built with freshly felled timber and destroyed in the same year as it was built but a more likely destruction date would have been c. 1100BC. On the conventional chronology this site would therefore have held out beyond the fall of the Hittite empire c. 1175BC. Since the original publication, the Anatolian ...
578. From the End of the Eighteenth Dynasty to the Time of Ramses II [Journals] [Kronos]
... Hall, The Ancient History of the Near East, p. 492. See also Cambridge Ancient History, III, 279: "It is simpler to suppose that it is merely a traditional confusion of the old name Seti in a wrong setting." 2. Herodotus, II,141 and 152. 3. Lord Byron, The Destruction of Sennacherib. ESARHADDON AND TIRHAKAH Several years after Sennacherib returned from his ill-fated campaign against Judea and Egypt, he was slain by two of his sons while worshiping in a temple. Esarhaddon, his heir, pursued his brothers and killed them. Then he tried to re-establish the shattered authority of Assyria in Syria and on the Phoenician shore ...
579. A Brief Summary of the Evidence for a Gap in the Bible and Much Earlier Dates for Many of its Major Events [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... but it is positively alarming that there is no archaeological evidence to support the Hebrew account of the invasion and conquest of the land of Canaan- burning and destroying towns there until they had exterminated the whole indigenous population. Although two cities were indeed destroyed by fire within this period, we cannot reasonably assume that a conquest was the cause of destruction, since there is no trace of any new arrivals in the land and no break in the culture. Around 960, finally, the evidence flatly contradicts the stories of Solomon's great wealth and powerful empire. Far from being a golden age in Canaan, Solomon's reign would fall within the dark ages. (Nobody moving into the new ...
580. The Dragon in Myth and Folklore [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... : "In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan (Heb. "livyatan"), the piercing serpent (Heb. "nachash"), even leviathan that crooked serpent; and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea" (Isaiah 27:1 ). Here the destruction of the maritime "tanin" is linked and/or equated with the punishment of leviathan, the cosmic context of which I discuss in part 2 of my "Planets in the Bible" article.(4 ) Finally, it should be pointed out that the serpent that beguiled Adam and Eve was another "nachash", or ...
