... at length in Worlds in Collision, descriptions of catastrophes consisting of combustion or deluge18 are found among the Greeks, Hindus, Persians, Chinese, Incas, Aztecs, and Mayas.19 Still less would you expect the phenomena to be described in very similar terms; thus the reddening of the world and its waters is recorded by Mayas, Egyptians, Israelites, Greeks, Babylonians, Finns and Tartars20 a hail of stones by Israelites, Egyptians, Mexicans, and some Buddhist texts;21and darkness that lasted for a number of days-in Asia, it was prolonged daylight-as prelude to a mountainous tidal wave, by Israelites, Chinese, Peruvians, and the Choctaw Indians of Oklahoma.22 ...
422. "Papyrus Ipuwer" and Worlds in Collision [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Velikovsky's catastrophist interpretation of the "Papyrus Ipuwer" is unwarranted - the Papyrus gives no hint of an extraterrestrial commotion and the upheaval described in the text is more likely to have been social rather than cosmic. Several times in Worlds in Collision Velikovsky refers to the so-called "Papyrus Ipuwer", which, in his view, represents an Egyptian eyewitness account of the Venusian catastrophes of 1500 BC, and in particular of the same events which we now know as the plagues of the Exodus. The translation that I had access to was that of John A. Wilson in Ancient Near Eastern Texts Relating to the Old Testament (hereafter referred to as ANET), edited by James ...
423. Joseph and Imhotep (Letters) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... matching which I believe to be flawed), it would interest me greatly to learn how many generations intervened between Imhotep and Khnum-ab-ra. If the number is on the order of 60 or less, then this would give weight to raw radiocarbon dates whereas eighty or more would give the tree-ring correction an edge. As for Jacob not being an Egyptian, I call attention to the time that he spent in Egypt proper, the fact that he was mourned by the Egyptians at his death and that the funeral cortege was perceived the Canaanites as being Egyptian. If one lived in Egypt, one an Egyptian. Also, the architect Jacob erected several memorials and altars as well as his ...
424. An Alternative to the Velikovskian Chronology for Ancient Egypt [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... years" are eliminated from the conventional (and apparently extended) history of the region. Very few of the Society's members would now be prepared to stand by the revision put forward in Ramses II and His Time and Peoples of the Sea although there is still a strong feeling that Ages in Chaos remains a true picture for the period of Egyptian history prior to the end of the XVIIIth Dynasty. As a result of this disquiet over Velikovsky's later revision there grew a body of scholars whose objective was to provide an alternative method of reducing the history of Egypt by some 500 years as demanded by Ages in Chaos whilst retaining the synchronisms put forward in that volume. Some tentative steps ...
425. A Solution for the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... an army that campaigned in Phoenicia and Palestine against the Assyrians. Sargon II, shortly after his accession in 722 BC, defeated an Egyptian-orientated alliance of kingdoms in Syria-Palestine that included Hamath, the Phoenician city states, and the Israel of Hoshea. In 720 BC he marched south into Philistia and routed Hanno of Gaza who was supported by an Egyptian army of the "turtan of Musri", one Sib'e.(12) Kitchen claims Sib'e should instead read Re'e (in the Akkadian) and Ria'a (in the Egyptian).(13) An identification of Sib'e with Seti II appears to be strained, but the possibility that Re'e has affinities with Ramses may be more promising ...
426. Moses Pharaoh of Egypt - the mystery of Akhenaten resolved [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... have childhood connections with Goshen and the fact that Moses protested that he would have difficulty in communicating with the Israelites would make sense on the basis that his familiarity with the Hebrew tongue had become somewhat rusty during his time of ruling, first at Thebes with his father, Amenhotep III and then at Akhetaten. 3) Adonith, Moses' Egyptian queen and wife is clearly linked with Aten-it which is derived from the Egyptian god Aten and the Israelite God Adonai. 4) In Egyptian memory Moses is remembered as Osarseph, a priest of Heliopolis, which also forms a link with vizier Joseph. 5) Manetho identified the reign of Amenhotep III during the time of the son of ...
... , but as natural as the year and the day. Unfortunately, astronomy can help us very little just now. However, when science has once become more reconciled to the chief points of Hoerbiger's Cosmological Theory, a competent person may undertake to calculate possible distances and times. At present the most significant figures are reached when we compare the Egyptian and the Assyrian calendar systems. The two are as different as is possible: the former reckoning in solar cycles, each consisting of 1460years; the latter calculating by lunar cycles, equal to 1805 years. As it is a very natural thing to set' a calendar by some momentous cosmic phenomenon, and as the transformation of a ...
428. Velikovsky and the Problem of Planetary Identification [Journals] [Aeon]
... whom Velikovsky identified with the planet Venus, rather than with the Moon as per the majority of classical writers. Here we must concur with Velikovsky's judgment, although one can only shudder at the thought of what course Velikovsky's work might have taken had he retained the lunar identification of Athena. Extrapolating from the Greek sources, Velikovsky identified the ancient Egyptian gods with the planetary regents of their Greek counterparts. Ra, accordingly, was identified with the sun; Thoth with Mercury; Hathor with Venus; and Horus with Jupiter. (3 ) The same strategy was also employed with regard to the pantheons of Mesopotamia and India. That there are problems with Velikovsky's approach to the ancient sources ...

430. Pillars of the Past by Charles Ginenthal (Book Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , a bit awkward and repetitive, the presentation is overlong and there may be an inconsistent shifting in Ginenthal's attitude to carbon dating, but that is all trivial. What is central is the primacy he gives to scientific over historical data, and it is that to which we should pay attention. Consider, for example, Ginenthal's evidence regarding Egyptian chronology. What he brings forth is very startling, for it attacks the established long chronology from two deeply sensational directions at the same time. We have been traditionally told that the dynastic period of Egyptian history (the so-called Old', Middle' and New' Kingdoms) constitutes the totality of Egyptian history, that it began in ...
