... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History XV:1 (Jan 1993) Home | Issue Contents Rohl's Revised Egyptian Chronology: Difficulties and an Alternative Jeremy Goldberg A recent article by David Rohl appears to have presented a number of very sound Egyptological arguments for a considerable shortening of Egyptian chronology between Dynasties 19 and 26.1 However, his proposed alternative chronology2, which would down date year 67 of Ramesses II from 1213 to 867 BC, is clearly too short by a wide margin. Likewise, this appears to be the case even for Rohl and James' previous downdating of this regnal year to c. 920.3 The preceding negative conclusions already appear to be required on purely ...
462. Chapter I: The Review [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... presented evidence that sudden or discontinuous changes might reasonably explain some features of the earth which strained the hypothesis of uniformity. Some of the opposition to Velikovsky's work was based on the assumption of uniformity. The apparent logic was that, since it was assumed that nothing happened, this proved that Velikovsky was wrong when he said something did happen. EGYPTIAN CHRONOLOGY Ancient Egyptian history has been used for years as the standard by which to determine the chronological order of other countries. This has caused a number of problems in the historiography of the Ancient Middle East and Greece. By force-fitting the histories of these regions to the assumed history of Egypt, "dark ages" have been created and ...
... Ecliptic, designed the zodiac of the twelve constellations through which the sun passes annually, classified the principal star groups according them specified names, invented also the calendar and studied the movements not of the regular constellations alone, but those of irregular bodies like comets. We were taught long ago that the Magi of the Chaldeans, Phoenicians, and Egyptians were the earliest pioneers in the field of astronomy, and this is quite correct if it be recognized that they were Druids. These wise men closely watched that wonderful star Sirius, regulated the Sothic cycle by it, arid accorded to the "Watcher" in the heavens the name of the Dog Star (Canis Major) and honoured ...
464. East and West, Part 1 Venus Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the sun is seen to rise in the east and set in the west. Was the east the primeval and only place of the sunrise? There is testimony from all parts of the world that the side which is now turned toward the evening once faced the morning. In the second book of his history, Herodotus relates his conversations with Egyptian priests on his visit to Egypt some time during the second half of the fifth century before the present era. Concluding the history of their people, the priests told him that the period following their first king covered three hundred and forty-one generations, and Herodotus calculated that, three generations being equal to a century, the whole period was ...

... state. Incidentally, the Biblical account of this event gives a typical display of bloody-minded hyperbole: according to I Kings 9, Pharaoh burnt Gezer to the ground and massacred all its Canaanite inhabitants before giving the smoldering blood-soaked ruins to his daughter as her wedding-gift! Fortunately, however, Joshua 16, whose author has no interest in slandering the Egyptians, sets the record straight: the Canaanites of Gezer "have lived among the Ephraimites to the present day but have been subject to forced labor in perpetuity".

466. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Heyerdahl relates how ships were made of papyrus reeds in Africa. The builders of Ra I, which broke up before it reached America, were from Lake Chad in Central Africa [1 ]. The second ship, Ra II, was built by Indians from Lake Titicaca in Peru, since they were the only ones who could duplicate the Egyptian design [2 ]. It was able to cross the Atlantic, but was so waterlogged it hardly seemed practical. Later Heyerdahl learned from the marsh Arabs (who live near where the Tigris and Euphrates join) that reeds must be cut at the right time of the year to retain their buoyancy. His next venture was The Tigris ...

... the emblem of life [* !* image] which has arms that support the Disk of the Sun. ' "( 12) What Budge called the "Disk of the Sun" is, of course, the most common symbol of Ra and, as I have already indicated elsewhere,(13) Ra was one of the Egyptian anthropomorphs of the Saturnian Sun. Rix also supplied the following: "The author [Budge] then continues: In the papyrus of Ani we see the Sun's disk supported by a pair of arms which emerge from the sign of life [the ankh ]; this, in its turn, is supported by the pillar which symbolizes the ...
468. Astronomy and Chronology: An Assessment [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. II No. 4 (Summer 1977) Home | Issue Contents Astronomy and Chronology: An Assessment Lewis M. Greenberg The Supplement to Peoples of the Sea - "Astronomy and Chronology" may very well be Velikovsky's most brilliant contribution to an understanding of the basic historiographical problems confronting the student of Egyptian antiquity. Initially written more than twenty-five years ago, "Astronomy and Chronology" was first published (with only minor differences from the present, book version) in the Summer 19 73 issue of the journal Pensee (IV, pp. 38-49). "Astronomy and Chronology" is a profound expose' of the fundamental weaknesses that underlie the chronological ...
... , and moving on an Earth-threatening orbit around the Sun. On at least two occasions, he said, the Earth passed through the trailing debris of the comet-like Venus, showers of stone and fire descending on terrestrial inhabitants and leveling civilizations the world over. It was the first of these two disasters, in Velikovsky's reconstruction, which ended the Egyptian Middle Kingdom and provided the catastrophic backdrop to the Hebrew Exodus.To build his case Velikovsky undertook a global survey of mythical and historical records, supplemented by archaeological testimony. He claimed that ancient observations of planetary motions make no sense, at least in terms of the heavens we know today. Ancient sundials and water clocks, he reported ...
470. Society News [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The whole history of the Jewish people rested so heavily upon the Exodus and the Conquest that he believed both must be indisputably historical facts. He wondered therefore if monotheism had later been somehow sewn back into the history to justify it. Salkeld accepted that Moses had a hard time getting his followers, who had become indoctrinated to believe in the Egyptian pantheon, to adopt monotheism: hence his repeated injunctions that Yahweh was the God of Abraham. The discussion ended with thanks to David Salkeld for sharing his thoughts on Samuel with us in what had been a most interesting debate. The hope was expressed that we might look forward to seeing the completed essay published one day in Review. ...
