... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1986 No 1 (Jul 1986) Home | Issue Contents Ninsianna And Ramesside Star Observations Michael G.Reade Comparison of the Egyptian Ramesside Star tables with the Babylonian (Ammizaduga) Venus tablets suggests that both relate to the same celestial disturbance. Integration of the information recorded on both leads to recognition of a discontinuity in the precession of the equinoxes of about 2 months (= 60 displacement in longitude of the vernal equinox) and a suggestion as to how 4 and 8 year festival' cycles could have originated. In PEOPLES OF THE SEA, footnote No.3 on p.236, Dr Velikovsky cites the most modern figure for the ...
352. Chapter XVII: the Building Inscriptions [Books]
... Chapter XVII The Building Inscriptions NUMEROUS references to the ceremonial of laying the foundation-stones of temples exist, and we learn from the works of Chabas, Brugsch, Dümichen, [1 ] and others, that the foundation of an Egyptian temple was associated with a series of ceremonies which are repeatedly described with a minuteness which, as Nissen has pointed out, [2 ] is painfully wanting in the case of Greece and Rome. Amongst these ceremonies, one especially refers to the fixing of the temple-axis; it is called, technically, " the stretching of the cord," and is not only illustrated by inscriptions on the walls of the temples of Karnak, Denderah, and ...
353. The Art Of Warfare. Part I Ch.3 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... it was argued that Denien (Dnn) stands for Danaans (a Homeric term for archaic Greeks). Some texts, however, connect them with the Syrian coast, and others with Cyprus. I, however, lean towards identifying the "Peoples of the Isles", the Denien, with the Athenians, since d and t in Egyptian are one and the same letter. The expression "Peoples of the Isles" also points to the Aegean area, and in a broader sense it would include Cyprus, Crete, Sicily, and also the Peloponnesus, for since antiquity the southern part of Greece, below the Corinthian Isthmus (Peloponnesus), was spoken of as an ...
354. Origins of the Zodiac and some Horological Problems [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... day and the night. Whilst a connection with the signs of the zodiac or the months of the year may look probable, it is one which does not seem to be at all easy to postulate with much clarity. In so far as there is already an orthodox explanation for the 12 hours, it appears to be that the ancient Egyptians (Old or Middle Kingdom) observed a 10-day week and that they eventually gravitated to describing stars which rose heliacally at intervals of 10 days as "hour stars" (R .A . Parker, "Ancient Egyptian Astronomy"). Apart from anything else, however, this scheme would result in hours of only 40 modern minutes ...
355. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , Vol. 5, No. 2. However, the main topic of discussion was initiated by Tom Chetwynd, who suggested that the possibility of a more radical revision needed to be explored in parallel with the Rohl-James proposals. He argued that there were strong grounds for placing the Exodus and Israelite conquest of Canaan at the end of the Egyptian Old Kingdom and Early Bronze Age in Palestine. First, in spite of the scholarly controversy about the date of the Ipuwer papyrus, there were strong reasons for placing it in the First Intermediate Period; secondly, the pattern of destructions at the end of the Early Bronze Age in Palestine matches closely the biblical account of the Conquest; ...
356. Chapter 6 Egyptian Stratigraphy [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... CONTENTS Charles Ginenthal, Pillars of the Past 187 CHAPTER 6 EGYPTIAN STRATIGRAPHY Stratigraphy deals with the materials of mankind found in the soil. In Egypt, unlike Mesopotamia, cities were not built one on top of the other. Various pharaohs, according to Manethon, ruled for a period of time at a particular capital and then the kingship might be taken over by another pharaoh and those who followed him (or her, in rare instances), moved to another capital city. If Manethon and those proponents of the long chronology are basically correct, then pottery and other artefacts uncovered at a particular city should in large measure constitute the material of the time that city thrived. ...
357. ASH (Continued) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Confront Scientists Who Confront Velikovsky" Home | Issue Contents ASH (Continued)In the Winter 1973-74 issue of Pensée - under the heading "ASH" - a series of letters, spanning nearly twenty years, was published. This correspondence stands as a vivid testimony to Velikovsky's lengthy, and often futile, efforts to have radiocarbon tests performed on Egyptian antiquities of the New Kingdom. The "ASH" report, as published, concluded with the letter of a Dutch chemist (dated April 19, 1973) to Mr. A. Bruce Mainwaring, at the time coordinator of a Carbon 14 project sponsored by the Foundation for Studies of Modern Science (FOSMOS). Mr. Mainwaring ...
358. The Papyrus Ipuwer [Journals] [Pensee]
... Review In 1945 Immanuel Velikovsky stated that "the Papyrus Ipuwer comprises a text which originated shortly after the close of the Middle Kingdom; the original text was written by an eyewitness to the plagues and the Exodus." (" Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History," 4.) In 1909 Gardiner had ascribed The Admonitions of an Egyptian Sage (as the Ipuwer document is also known) to the First Intermediate Period. But a comparison of the papyrus with the Hebrew Exodus story convinced Velikovsky that 1) both sources describe the same events; and 2) from the philological and historical standpoint those events must be assigned to the period immediately after the fall of the Middle ...
359. The Chronology of the Late Kings of Egypt [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... an expected crisis in Egypt at this time. Neither of the two traditional placements could be thus characterized. With the Hyksos invasion assigned a date c. 1700 B.C ., his thesis called for a gross reduction of the dates as given in the conventional scheme. In support of this placement, Velikovsky pointed to inscriptive evidence of Egyptian origin3 which pictured dire crisis in Egypt accompanied by very abnormal physical disturbances. Some scholars had, indeed, assigned the situation described in these inscriptions to the Hyksos period.4 Further confirmation of gross error in the conventional chronology was provided by the pictorial inscription of Thutmose III of dynasty XVIII which indicated that it was he who sacked Solomon's ...
360. Chapter 4 Scientific ? Radiocarbon Dating [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... B.C .? Surely, one would assume, if ancient history is not as recent as Heinsohn, Rose, and Sweeney suggest it is, then the vast majority of these dates would tend to fall a thousand or more years closer to the present. The simple fact that this is certainly not the case must indicate that ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian history is as old as the conventional chronology suggests. The researchers cannot nor could not all have been disreputable and these discrepant dates should exist somewhere in the literature. That there are so many dates that do corroborate the established chronology cannot be ignored. These are reasonable arguments and do indeed require an answer. And that is ...
