... to be adaptable from one restricted area and culture, the Judaic, to several grand civilizations - Byzantine, West European, Islamic, and American. The Ark of the Covenant, "the Vehicle of Yahweh," symbolized, as well as played a critical part in, the whole story. Its electrical functions represented the achievements of the Egyptian theocratic establishment from which Moses, one of its luminaries and scientific managers, was expelled. The Ark was the centerpiece around which the aggregate of survivors of the flight from Egypt were organized into a new nation. The Ark gave voice to the new god, Yahweh, distinguishing him from related old gods, and lent credibility to his ...
382. In Passing [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the end of the XIIth Dynasty has been calculated. A few years ago it might have sounded over-optimistic to suggest that the British journal Antiquity, stronghold of conventional archaeological thinking, would publish an article recommending the abandonment of the precious Sothic date 1872 BC by a leading Near Eastern archaeologist. But such is the argument of an article entitled "Egyptian and Near Eastern chronology: a dilemma?" (Antiquity 53, March 1979, pp. 6-18) by JAMES MELLAART (Dr Mellaart lectures in Anatolian archaeology at the London Institute of Archaeology, and is best known for his excavation of the neolithic site of Çatal Hüyük.) In developing the arguments for higher dates for Early and ...
383. Forum [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... in L.Ginzberg, LEGENDS OF THE JEWS, IV (Philadelphia 1913), p.182 Shishak, the ruler of Egypt, who was father-in-law of Solomon, came to Jerusalem and demanded his daughter's jointure [from Rehoboam]. He carried off the throne of Solomon, and also the treasure which the Israelites had taken from the Egyptians at the time of the exodus. So the Egyptian money returned to its source. ' A second passage (LEGENDS... IV, pp.159-60) supports this but adds the information that we are not concerned with a possible Egyptian wife of Rehoboam but definitely the widowed queen of Solomon - Shishak, the father-in-law of Solomon ...
384. Akhenaten - Heretic or Visionary [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2001:2 (Sep 2001) Home | Issue Contents Akhenaten - Heretic or Visionary John Davis Summary This task gave a brief summary, partly historical, of people's attempts to categorise Akhenaten in one of these two pigeonholes. There was some discussion of what heretic' might have meant to the ancient Egyptians, and to what extent he fitted the description. In the first half century or so after the discovery of the Amarna royal tomb there were highly enthusiastic and glowing descriptions of Akhenaten's accomplishments, but these have typically given way to a much more critical appraisal. Akhenaton and his wife Nefertiti on a limestone house stela, from the 18th Dynasty of ...

... wonders to what extent the history of David is actually in chronological order in the Bible. It would appear that immediately after Saul's death it was his brother Abner who assumed the Kingship, until he voluntarily handed it over to David, shortly before he was killed by Joab. Moreover Saul, Prince or not, had been an adversary of Egyptian forces and so was presumably not persona grata either with Pharaoh or his subject princes. Who does this make Nahash', Hanun' and the Amarna Pharaohs'? Margaret Grant, London SW7 Tille Hoyuk tree ring dates - Baillie responds I am sorry to see Bob Porter still worrying away at the shorten world chronology' red herring ( ...
386. The Lion Gate At Mycenae Revisited [Journals] [SIS Review]
... | Issue Contents The Lion Gate At Mycenae Revisited Lewis M. Greenberg Summary For more than a century, the academic community - by and large - has accepted the putative dates for the monuments of pre-Hellenic Mycenaean Greece which were first established via synchronisms with Dynastic Egypt. Despite challenges to the chronological reliability of the latter, the current schema of Egyptian history remains the primary standard for assigning dates to pre-Classical civilisations. The present paper, which focuses on the most notable work of Mycenaean art - the Lion Gate, reexamines both the basis and sources of its chronological placement and artistic achievement. In the process, the role of Egypt is seriously questioned and tested. Lewis M. Greenberg ...
387. Seti's Foreign Connections [Journals] [Kronos]
... Circle nor "language analysis" can mock it away. Thales, Pythagoras, and Plato all studied in Egypt. What they studied is not precisely known, but it is unlikely that out of the comprehensive religion of Egypt one would have separate lectures in philosophy, mathematics, and applied science. As nearly as we can see, the Egyptian world-view was comprehensive. Its art, religion, and science were one. In my coming article on ancient cosmology in KRONOS XII:3 , I treat of the connection between observable Egyptian accomplishments and the Timaeus of Plato. This will throw some light on the power of ancient thinking; and it is surprising that the Timaeus has not ...

... publish it. The present version includes some additional clarifying material incorporated by Ashton himself in August of 1982. The Cycle of 320 Days Roger Ashton The era comprising the earliest dynasties and subsequent Old Kingdom of Egypt is remote in time and historical sequence. Pure luck has permitted the survival of existing clues to the length of the year as the Egyptians perceived or chose to reckon it. What is apparently the oldest clue to the Egyptian perception or reckoning of the year can be found on the Palermo Stone, a diorite block on which the neatly tabulated chronicles from predynastic times up to Dynasty 5 were cut. An English translation of the entirety of these tabulated chronicles is presented in James ...

... Peter L. Kiernan, from Verona, N. J., writes: The cover picture of AEON V:6 is a nightmare. The two boats are sailing in the trough. They are abeam to the heavy seas. I'll have to talk to A. G. Smith, the illustrator, about that. Ed. The Egyptian Horizon E. J. Bond, from Kingston, Ontario, writes: In response to my letter, expressing doubts about the quotations Ev Cochrane chose to illustrate his claim concerning Venus as Day Star being the Radiant Venus superimposed on the face of the primeval sun (Saturn), [1 ] he wrote: "Yet, as ...
