... the Greeks as Nectanebo I was one and the same as the man known to Egyptologists as Ramses III of the 20th Dynasty. One thing is undisputed: Artaxerxes II came into direct conflict with Egypt under a king named Nectanebo, and suffered a crushing defeat. Now we ask ourselves: Did Nabopolasser at any stage in his career confront the Egyptians on the field of battle? He certainly did. We are told that after the collapse of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, Egypt, under a king Necho, sought to re-establish her control over Palestine and Syria, regions long regarded by the Egyptians as within their sphere of influence. In Nabopolasser's penultimate year, pharaoh Necho marched with a large ...
502. Did Artaxerxes III Despoil The Temple In Jerusalem? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... When news of these developments reached Tachos in Palestine he fled northwards to the Persian king to ask forgiveness. Another two pretenders arose to challenge Nectanebo II but these were quickly overcome with the assistance of Aegesilaus' hoplites. Nine years later, which was also the 9th year of the reign of Artaxerxes III/Ochus (350BC), the Egyptians met the armies of the Great King on the borders of Egypt and threw them back towards Mesopotamia. The failure of this first expedition proved to be a major setback for Artaxerxes III and his plan to reincorporate Egypt into the Empire had to wait another 7 years (343BC) for fruition. Thus Artaxerxes III's second, and successful, ...
503. The Exodus in the Pyramid Texts? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... a description of the plague of the "killing of the first born". The killing of the first born in heaven "caused" the plague on earth to be called as such. Velikovsky took great pains to rewrite bechor as bekhor, "first born" as chosen'.(11) I think the word may derive from the Egyptian b'ik hor (the Greek Harpocrates) and have both meanings. The "judgement of Thoth" the Hebrews saw as the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai, the punishment of Seth being ridden by Osiris as the story of Balaam and his donkey. The planet involved seems to be Venus. If I am correct, then the ...
504. The River of Ocean [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Worlds in Collision it is insinuated that Apopi, the same as Apepi, symbolised the proto-planet Venus [36]. But what circumstance could have turned Venus, even in its cometary form, into the image of a circular serpent with its tail in its mouth? Besides, was not the encircling serpent also associated with the Saturnian deity in Egyptian symbolism? There are three major Egyptian deities (among others) who, on independent evidence, have been identified as ancient personifications of Saturn: Atum, Ra, and Osiris [37]. Do we find the encircling serpent associated with any of these gods? That Atum was associated with the circular serpent is well known. This ...
505. Anno Domini Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... it is said, when he was 33 years of age – from a disease he picked up on his campaign to India and southern Iran. Retrocalculation from AD 1 would see Alexander conquering Syria in 333 BC, defeating a large Persian army. In 332 BC Egypt capitulated and Alexander was welcomed as a hero and introduced into the mysteries of Egyptian religion. In their eyes Alexander was a kind of messianic figure as he lifted from them the Persian yoke and inaugurated what was hoped to be a rebirth of Egypt. This situation was of course a blink of the eye' in history as large numbers of immigrants from the Greek world (western Asia, Anatolia, Greece and the ...
506. Early Attempts At Rationalizing. Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... early tendency toward the process of obliteration. One of the mechanisms of obliteration was what we shall call rationalisation, or substituting for the unusual what appeared to be less unusual. One hundred years before Aristotle wrote his codification (never, or hardly ever, challenged in science), Herodotus visited Egypt and wrote down what he heard from the Egyptian priests and from the guides to visitors from other countries. As I was able to deduce from a multitude of sources from many parts of the world, the last major catastrophe took place on the twenty-third of March, -687 of the Julian calendar.[4 ] This was the night the army of Sennacherib was destroyed by a " ...
507. Remarks on Dr. Courville's Seminar Presentation, "The Albrecht/Glueck-Aharoni/Rothenberg Confrontation" [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... I am neither a professional archaeologist nor an Egyptologist. On the other hand, I beg to stress that every place and/or country mentioned in my paper has been visited by me- excavations at Timna repeatedly, under the guidance of Benno Rothenberg- and every quotation checked in the original, whether English, Hebrew, Greek, or Egyptian hieroglyphs- the last under the guidance of a foremost linguist and ancient Egyptian language expert. The fundamental error of Dr. Courville's statement appears in his Introduction (p . 1). Concerning "characteristic Edomite pottery style found throughout the Negeb," Dr. Courville writes: "To Glueck . . . this pottery belonged into Iron ...
508. The Birth of Athena [Journals] [Aeon]
... in the clamorous cry of war and battle and slaughter." (58) Generally considered to be a Canaanite counterpart to Ishtar, the far-reaching cult of Astarte is best known, perhaps, by scattered references in the Old Testament. (59) Of her war-like nature there can be no doubt, Astarte being represented as a warrior in Egyptian and Ugaritic iconography alike. (60) Astarte's bellicose nature is also discernable in Ugaritic myth, where- in the battle between Baal and Yam- it is she (Ashtart) who is associated with the splitting of Yam's skull. (61) Astarte's identification with the planet Venus is well-known, of course, and is not unexpected ...
509. Another Look at Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... summer 1982). The information I have assembled from these diverse sources and situations has helped me to better understand Velikovsky's ideas with respect to both the real and the imagined bases upon which they pertain. First, Stiebing is very effective in discussing the absolute lack of archaeological support for Velikovsky's thesis. The main problem centers around remains of the Egyptian New Kingdom being found in the Late Bronze Age layers in Palestine and the remains of the Israelite kings being associated with Iron Age layers located above the Late Bronze strata. As Velikovsky wants to make these two periods contemporaneous, this situation requires explanation. Velikovsky never fully addressed this problem, which was brought to his attention subsequently. Some ...
