... but it is an essential reference book for pre-fourth century AD Europe. The book approaches its subject with a refreshing amount of scepticism, the author rejecting the description of the independent classical Greek entities as city states', reducing the estimated population of ancient Rome by three-quarters, referring to official archaeology's refusal to take on board Petrie's remark that Middle Egyptian Bronze Age implements were actually copper, and commenting merely Wow! ' against this quotation from the standard work on the Aegean Bronze Age published in the 1990's: For the sake of simplicity vessels which might be of copper or bronze are referred to as "bronze" throughout'. The above leads the author to conclude that There seems ...
992. Comets, Meteorites and Earth History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... and calendrical evidence to suggest that the final calendrical change, from a year of 360 to a year of 365 ¼ days, took place around the beginning of the Iron Age, which Gallant linked with the start of the sub-Atlantic climatic regime c.750 BC. He also strongly supported the view, by pointing out major discrepancies between the Egyptian records and the requirements of the Sothic dating system, that the conventional chronology for Egyptian history was incorrect and requiring shortening by some half a millennium. In the third section of his talk, Gallant outlined the possible mechanism for the catastrophic changes in the Earth's rotation that the calendar changes suggested. Using numerous slides of geological features, he ...
993. The Scientific Mafia [Journals] [Pensee]
... to be found practicing psychoanalysis in Tel Aviv in the Thirties. A book he projected on Freud's heroes was the unlikely germ of all his later work, for it led him to think about Moses and the Exodus. Now the Bible portrays the Exodus as taking place amid a series of extraordinary natural disasters; and especially when Velikovsky found an Egyptian document which seemed to refer to the same events, he began to wonder whether the disasters might not have been real. Natural Catastrophism Ten years later Worlds in Collision presented his evidence, accumulated from testimony, tradition, legend, and religions the world over, for the story of the birth of Venus as a planet after a period ...

995. The Parting of the Waters of the Red Sea [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . The question is of some importance, because when we design a theoretical model we want to know how deep the water was. There is a hot well at the east shore of the Gulf of Suez called Haman Faraoun, situated some 100km south of the city of Suez. According to the local tradition this was the place where the Egyptian chariots pursued the children of Israel, "and Pharaoh's wrath and fear heated the waters"[2 ]. The depth of the water at this part of the Gulf of Suez is about 50 metres today. Velikovsky may have been right. Maybe the water depth was only 5 metres in the days of the Exodus: yet in ...
996. Old Testament Tales – Part IV & V, Moses as Magus 'A' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of Israelite bondage in Egypt, the Exodus and the desert wanderings; and show that Moses, a young victorious prince, probably fled Egypt when Pharaoh and the priests saw him as a contender for the crown. Anger at being rewarded for his success in Nubia by being forced into exile most likely explains why he then plotted to subvert the Egyptian economy by leading a mass emigration of its Israelite labour force. Moses' first problem was to be recognised by the Israelites as their leader. This he did by claiming – and later demonstrating – that he was the chosen servant of their God, who had promised the land of Canaan to their forefather Abraham. His account of his ...
997. Changes in the Times and the Seasons, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... seasons was disturbed. Spring follows winter and fall follows summer because the earth rotates on an axis inclined toward the plane of its revolution around the sun. Should this axis become perpendicular to that plane, there would be no seasons on the earth. Should it change its direction, the seasons would change their intensity and their order. The Egyptian papyrus known as Papyrus Anastasi IV contains a complaint about gloom and the absence of solar light; it says also: "The winter is come as (instead of) summer, the months are reversed and the hours are disordered."(2 ) "The breath of heaven is out of harmony. . . . The four ...

... ... sent tribute',(1 ) but II Kings 17:4 does not refer to the sending of tribute at all; it simply says that Hoshea sent messengers to So. The tribute is Velikovsky's supposition, and while it is not unreasonable to suppose that gifts of some kind may have played a part in the courting of Egyptian support against Assyria, we should never forget that the tribute remains a hypothesis, not a fact. Hosea 12:1 could be cited in favour of the idea (" Ephraim... makes a treaty with Assyria, and sends olive oil to Egypt"), but there is no proof that it relates to the events ...

... the velocity of axial rotation, and in the length of the day, and so on. Some of these changes could be traced if a chart of the sky, drawn in a period prior to -687, could be examined. Such a cha rt does exist; it is painted on the ceiling of the tomb of Senmut, the Egyptian vizier. As explained previously,1 the tomb dates from a time following the Exodus but before the days of Amos and Isaiah. The charts of Senmut show the sky over Egypt at two different epochs; one of them depicts the sky of Egypt before the poles were interchanged probably in the catastrophe that terminated the Middle Kingdom; the ...

... the Greek word for tribe. It did not seem to occur to him that there was anything odd about this use of a Greek word 4,500 years ago; that being the construction date mentioned earlier in the programme. The use of a Greek word by the builders of the Great Pyramid is, however, quite understandable if the Egyptians, who told the Graeco-Sicilian historian Diodorus that the 26th Dyn. Pharaohs Apries and Amasis were the builders of the Great Pyramid, were correct (Diodorus, Book I). It would also explain why nothing was found in the tomb, or why the port-cullis blocks that would have sealed the King's Chamber were never lowered. According to ...
