... and 840 BC (1 ). For this to be so it was necessary for him to demonstrate that the letters from Syria and Palestine were written by the kings of the mid-9th century known to us principally from the Bible and from some secondary sources such as the annals of the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III, "if it is true that Egyptian history must be revised and moved forward more than half a thousand years". Velikovsky based his comparison of the events of the letters and those of the Scriptures on the identifications of Abdi-Hiba of Jerusalem with King Jehoshaphat of Judah. Rib-Addi of Gubla (and Sumur) with King Ahab of Israel, and Abdi-Ashirta and his son Azaru of ...
402. The el-Amarna Letters (Continued) (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... beginning of the letter is destroyed. It might have been Obadiah, a man who would have the prerogative to write to the pharaoh, and who was charged with the care of the animals. The man who, together with Ahab, king of Samaria, was concerned that "we lose not all the beasts", reported to the Egyptian sovereign that no asses survived the famine and the drought. The plague among the animals in Samaria is mentioned in a letter written from Egypt by a chief; he had heard that the people of Sumura were not allowed to enter Gubla, since in Sumura there was a plague. LETTER 96: What sort of a plague is among ...
403. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... claim that an amphora bearing an hieratic docket of Horemheb, found in this pharaoh's Memphite tomb during the 1978 season of excavations, has provided "the highest certain regnal date of that monarch so far recorded" was made, not by me but by the excavator Dr Geoffrey Martin, in a brief report in Volume 64 of the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology. To date, no further details have been published. The alleged Year 16 of Horemheb, to which Professor Greenberg refers in his letter, appeared in an inscription transcribed and translated by Donald Redford in BASOR 211. According to Dr Redford, the inscription was written around the flat top of a bowl of mottled granite which he ...
404. Velikovsky's "The Tomb of Ahiram" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the date of Ahiram's tomb: it touches on the origin of the alphabet. Some authorities now trace the origin of the alphabet to the first half of the second millennium, on the evidence not only of the Byblos inscriptions but also of the writings found at Ras Shamra and in the Sinai, which are believed to be contemporary with the Egyptian XVIIIth Dynasty. It is accepted that the Greek alphabet (alpha, beta, gamma, delta .. .) was derived from the Phoenician (aleph, beth, gimmel, deleth .. .) . The earliest surviving Greek script dates to the 8th century, although the similarity of the archaic Greek letters to those on the ...
405. New Proposals For A Downdating the Egyptian New Kingdom [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History XV:1 (Jan 1993) Home | Issue Contents New Proposals For A Downdating the Egyptian New Kingdom Jeremy Goldberg 1. Overlapping Dynasties 20-26 In Vol. 12/2 and elsewhere, this writer has argued in detail that abundant genealogical evidence dating from the Third Intermediate Period in Egypt (= Dyn. 21-25) points to the need for a considerable shortening of the otherwise mostly obscure interval between Dynasties 20 and 26. (See also summary in this issue Interaction). This would result in much lower dates than usual for the immediately preceding Egyptian New Kingdom (Dyn. 18-20). In view of the limited possibilities for shortening the ...

... Varuna, which they dropped into a water-jar on seeing the heavenly Urvashi. From this double parentage he is called Maitravaruni, and from his being born from a jar he got the name Khumbasambhava." [n3 RV 7.33.I3-14; Brihad-Devata 5.152ff.; Sorenson, p. 18B. Let us mention that the Egyptian Canopus is himself a jar-god; actually, he is represented by a Greek hydria (see RE s.v . Kanopos).] [Khumba is the name of Aquarius in India and Indonesia, allegedly ate Greek influence] On the very same time and occasion there also was "born" as son of Mitra and Varuna — ...
407. Thera: Chronology at a Crossroads? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... have used this pottery as a means for dating the major second millennium BC eruption. The Late Minoan IA period has thus been dated to 1550-1500 BC, and the eruption of Thera dated to 1500 BC. This dating, it must be stressed, is purely an archaeological one. As its basis we find the dating of Mycenaean pottery in Egyptian New Kingdom contexts, and through the dating of Mycenaean wares the pottery style chronologies of the Late Minoan I and Late Cycladic I sequences are determined. In the early years of radiocarbon dating this archaeological date appeared to be confirmed: radiocarbon estimations were performed on material from the Thera eruption levels and dates of around 1500 BC were obtained [ ...
408. Abraham and Phallicism [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... to be assuaged in Abraham's day because of the obvious danger from above which was to culminate in Sodom's destruction. I lean towards the arguments of those who believe Venus was the agent of Sodom's destruction and the source of the sulphur which rained from heaven. Background There are myths which have the phallus as part of the drama. In an Egyptian story [2 ], Osiris, identified as Saturn [3 ], was torn into fourteen pieces by the avenging Seth who dropped the pieces into the Nile. Mournful Isis, Osiris's sister-wife, identified variously as Jupiter [4 ] or Venus [5 ], hunted for the parts and reconstructed Osiris from them, except for his ...
409. The Reflective Canopy Model and the Mytho-historical Record [Journals] [Aeon]
... fallen into the trap of representing, or misrepresenting, the north celestial center as the zenith. A prime example of the above comes from the Pyramid Texts which are made to state: "May your face be in the north of the sky, may Re summon you from the zenith of the sky." (32) But the Egyptian word that has been translated as "zenith" is "up-t pet," which literally means "the top, or crown, of the sky." (33) Now this term does lend itself easily to a translation as "zenith" but the fact that this position is equated with "the north of the sky" ...
410. Velikovsky, Mars, and the Eighth Century B. C. Part One [Journals] [Kronos]
... date, whether the flood was early or late, and by how much. We need precise information to discuss the question intelligently. In modern times, the date of highest flood level at Thebes averaged, as we shall see, around September 11 to September 12 (Gregorian). But any discussion of the relation of seasonal phenomena to Egyptian calendar dates would be meaningless without a chronological reference point. The Egyptian civil calendar had no leap year, being fixed at 365 days. As the solar year is nearly a quarter of a day longer, every four years the Egyptian calendar year would begin a day earlier in the natural seasons, returning to its original position in just ...
