206 pages of results. 391. Chapter XXVII: The Calendar and its Revision [Books]
... dates for the coincidence of the heliacal rising of Sirius and the 1st Thoth of the vague year at, or near, the solstice, were 270 B.C . 1728 B.C . 3192 B.C . Here, in limine, we meet with a difficulty which, if it cannot be explained, evidently proves that the Egyptians did not construct and use their calendar in the way we have supposed. We have it on the authority of Censorinus that a Sothic period was completed in 139 A.D ., and that there was then a vague year in partial use. It is here that the work of Oppolzer is of such high value to us, ...
392. Exodus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . The latter is necessarily believed to have preceded the former and Biblical chronology has subsequently been presented as a better crutch than the conventional historical framework. We might ask at this point - why did Isaiah rail against the Israelite party that favoured an alliance with the broken reeds of Egypt? Clearly, in the 8th and 7th centuries BC the Egyptians were not viewed with horror, or there would not have been a pro-Egyptian lobby. Neither would Jewish refugees have fled into Egypt shortly before the Exile. The Egyptians appear to have earned their unsavoury reputation during the development of the Jewish religion in the post-Exile period. We might ask another question at this point, which might seem strange ...
393. The Location of Punt/Ophir Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Southern Africa, a story which still is sung and told around village fires in South and Central Africa today, a true story- it has thousands of relics in the hands of witchdoctors to support it. "Badly rusted and crumbling swords of ancient Greek manufacture, old gold coins and parts of bronze shields and helmets, bronze spears and Egyptian battle axes, all of which are in the secret possession of witchdoctors throughout Southern Africa, confirm the truth of the story of Zima-Mbje." (MU: 103). The little boy Mulumbi, the son of Lumbedu the witchdoctor, had come running wildly into the kraal. Now he is telling his parents what he has seen ...
394. Ages in Chaos [Velikovsky]
... April of 1950, Immanuel Velikovsky's first epoch-making book, Worlds In Collision, created a furore all over the world. Now, in Ages In Chaos, he presents another aspect of his startling theory - a unique and radical revision of ancient history. Taking for his starting point the simultaneous physical catastrophes described in the book of Exodus and in Egyptian documents, Dr. Velikovsky reconstructs the political and cultural histories of the nations of the ancient world. His reconstruction poses the question-Are six hundred years missing in Israel's history, or have six hundred ghost years crept into Egyptian history? Documents are collated for each generation over twelve hundred years and the intriguing march over centuries presents itself ...
395. Si-Amon. Part 2 Ch.4 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... , more probably, under his successor, Ptolemy II Philadelphus ( -285 to -246). Whereas Ptolemy I was a warrior king, his younger son, in whose favour he abdicated the throne two years before his death, was a splendour-loving king and an enthusiast for Hellenic culture. Philadelphus married his sister, in this taking licence from Egyptian royal usage, but otherwise he abhorred the mysterious atmosphere of the native religious cults, and a gay religious cult of Serapis, to a great extent, supplanted the ancient cults of Amon, of Ptah, and of other deities. The library of Alexandria, founded by Ptolemy I, became a great centre of learning under Ptolemy II ...
396. Weighing The Anchor [Journals] [Kronos]
... Sothic dating, and on one of those late classical sources, namely, Censorinus. I will leave it to others to comment on Parker's use of Middle Kingdom documents. Parker says: "Now from Censorinus and coins of Antonius Pius it is safe to conclude that in the years AD 139 to 142 Sirius rose heliacally on I ht I Egyptian, corresponding to July 20 for AD 139 and July 19 for AD 140 to 142. From this anchor in time. . . ", and then he goes on to describe the efforts of Oppolzer, Meyer, and Ingham to extrapolate backwards from "this anchor in time". Such extrapolations must be conducted with great care, ...
397. Sethosis: the Seti II from the Kinglists? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... seems to be lacking. He probably felt tempted to identify these rulers, mentioned by Manetho, because of the similarity in names and the chronological order in which they appear. While Clapham is surely not the only one who has raised this suggestion, let us remember the words of Josephus: ". .. Manetho adds not from the Egyptian records, but as he confesses himself, from some stories of an uncertain original .. ." What evidence does Clapham have to identify the powerful Sethosis with the rather spineless Seti II? According to the Glasgow Chronology this XIXth-Dynasty ruler reigned during the well-documented 8th century, as was recently argued by John Bimson in the context of his ...

399. Sirius and Saturn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... crucial in dealing with the lunar calendar. It is most important that we establish the legitimacy of referring to observation as a check on lunar dates, rather than assuming that they are merely the output of a cycle table and what the Moon actually did was irrelevant. Censorinus was correct that there was a heliacal rising of Sirius on Thoth 1 Egyptian = July 20 Julian, + 139. Theon was correct that the Egyptian calendar and the corrected and retrojected Alexandrian calendar were in phase in -25. (Thoth 1 Egyptian = Thoth 1 Alexandrian, from -25 to -22.) This emphasis on -25 is not to be confused with the inauguration of the actual Alexandrian calendar by Octavian/ ...
400. The Blind Pharaoh [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Proceedings of The Second Seminar of Catastrophism and Ancient History (1985) Home | Issue Contents The Blind Pharaoh Bronson Feldman Eyeless in Egypt Immanuel Velikovsky's monumental argument named Oedipus and Akhnaton presents evidence that the Egyptian monarch Amenhotep IV, who changed his name to Akhnaton, went blind. Velikovsky points out that Herodotos, the Ionian historian, who may have traveled to Egypt before the year 444 prior to the Papal period, learned from the priests of the god Amon that, after an obscure pharaoh called Asychis, "a blind man of the city of Anysis, whose name was Anysis," had held the throne.[l ] The aquiline eyes of Velikovsky observed ...
