... ( 'ibri / ibrim) is used extensively in the Bible at many periods. The word habiru is particularly found in the Akkadian (cuneiform) El Amarna archives of the late 18th Dynasty, where it refers to marauders or guerilleros of some kind in Palestine. (A presumed equivalent word - generally signifying itinerant workers - is found in Egyptian language texts at various periods.) The particular literary' aspect of the El Amarna habiru idiom and the I Samuel/Philistine use of the term Hebrew' which leads van der Veen to conclude that they are contemporaneous is the assertion that both terms - uniquely at this period - have a pejorative connotation as well as a similar denotation ...
512. Earthquake, Part 1 Venus Ch.2 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... and the area of the earthquake was the entire globe. Ipuwer witnessed and survived this earthquake. "The towns are destroyed. Upper Egypt has become waste.... All is ruin." "The residence is overturned in a minute."(1 ) Only an earthquake could have overturned the residence in a minute. The Egyptian word for "to overturn" is used in the sense of "to overthrow a wall."(2 ) This was the tenth plague. "And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a ...
513. A Concordance Of Disaster [Journals] [Kronos]
... reflected contemporary accounts of the same natural upheaval.(2 ) As far as Asimov was concerned, Ipuwer "was the author of a papyrus which has been dated back to the time of the Sixth Dynasty, about 2200 B.C . It was a time when the Old Kingdom' . . . was in decay, and when Egyptian society was breaking down into feudalism, confusion and misery. Ipuwer didn't like the situation and described it very much in the tones with which Tacitus described the decaying Roman society of his time and the New Left describes the decaying American society of our own time."(3 ) Asimov then went on to question the very reality of ...
514. Cultural Aspects of the Libyan and Ethiopian Dynasties [Journals] [Kronos]
... ? The Eighteenth Dynasty and the Libyan period in Egypt produced very similar literary works. In no language, ancient or new, would four to seven hundred years have passed without very considerable changes: one need think only of the metamorphosis of English between the time of Geoffrey Chaucer and that of Oscar Wilde. It was no different with the Egyptian language; and most likely, the two epochs under consideration show so little change simply because there was so little time difference. Thus the conflicting opinions are much less conflicting if only scores of years, not five centuries, separate the time of Thutmose IV from the beginning of Libyan rule. __ __ __ __ ...
515. The Conquest of Canaan AND THE REVISED CHRONOLOGY [Journals] [SIS Review]
... which Velikovsky believes is at fault by some six centuries. Therefore the commonly affirmed date for the Exodus cannot be used to support the current chronology against Velikovsky's. Indeed, since the destruction of cities and the change in culture referred to above are placed at the end of the 13th century BC for reasons which go back ultimately to the current Egyptian chronology, it follows that when Velikovsky's revised chronology is applied to the archaeology of Palestine, those destructions and the attendant change in culture are seen to have been placed in a totally incorrect chronological setting. It Is perhaps worth noting that some archaeologists working within the framework of the conventional chronology have already warned against over interpreting these destructions and ...
516. Further Notes on Abi Milki and Pygmalion [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , which Sabatino Moscati(4 ) likens to gifts for the purpose of placating the aggressive Assyrian. In other words, that which Shalmaneser presents as tribute in his extravagant inscriptions may have included trade products passing from one court to an other, and we should not always assume a political realignment is indicated. Abi Milki remained firmly in the Egyptian sphere and sought Egyptian troops and provisions against Aziru and his allies. The name Shalmaiati is normally interpreted as a cult element; with respect to Akhnaton that element would be the "Aton" deity, the aspect of Venus associated with brightness- the compound of the very name Shalmaneser, and of Solomon, even of Jeru-salem.( ...
517. Ages Still In Chaos: Defending The Indefensible [Journals] [SIS Review]
... occurs in the series of letters written by Biridya of Megiddo to an unnamed pharaoh. On one occasion he writes that he and his brother, Jasdata, perhaps acting in concert with Zurata, succeeded in capturing Labayu, a city king who had been outlawed by Egypt for his depredations. They had been instructed to deliver him alive to the Egyptian court and Zurata took him home to his city of Acco, ostensibly to put him aboard a ship bound for Egypt. Instead, he took a bribe and freed his prisoner. Biridya and his brother, as soon as they had found out what had happened, set out to recapture Labayu but before they could overtake him he had ...
518. The Emerging Revision of Ancient History: Recent Research [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... this time, the composite Asiatic strongbow and the light chariot were introduced into Middle Eastern warfare for the first time. They also built vast fortresses, protected by so-called glacis-embankments of piled earth, probably built only through the use of forced labor, at such sites as Gezer, Megiddo and Hazor. The Hyksos [Canaanites] also ruled the Egyptian delta. Their rule ran from the Nile River to the Euphrates River. Then their empire mysteriously disappeared. However, there was no striking change in the occupation of the land of Israel; the so-called Canaanite civilization entered a new, almost as brilliant period, contemporaneous with the 18th and 19th dynasties of Egypt, in the Late Bronze ...
519. Senmut and Phaeton: Supplementary Notes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... technologist consultant to industry. The author's paper in our last issue concluded that the astronomical ceiling in the tomb of Senmut records the event remembered by the Greeks as the "Fall of Phaeton", involving the passage of the comet Venus and an inversion of the poles. Some further thoughts are appended here. 1. The Crocodiles on the Egyptian Monuments The two crocodiles (sometimes more) which appear on the astronomical ceilings appear to represent the constellations Serpens Caput and Serpens Cauda. The one which climbs up the back and peeps over the head of the hippopotamus (identified as Boötes) presents very little difficulty; a star globe marked with stars down to the 4th. magnitude makes ...
520. The Flood from Heaven: Deciphering the Atlantis Legend by Eberhard Zangger [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Issue Contents REVIEWS The Flood from Heaven: Deciphering the Atlantis Legend by Eberhard Zangger (Sidgwick and Jackson, 1992) Our sole source of information about the supposed lost' civilization of Atlantis is Plato (427-347 BC), who claimed in his Timaeus and unfinished Critias that the details had been given to the Athenian, Solon, by an Egyptian priest at Sais, in the Nile Delta. If Plato's story was true, this meeting would have taken place around 600 BC. According to the Timaeus, the priest said that Solon's people had a long and impressive history, most of which they had now forgotten, and he began to tell of citizens of the Athenian state who ...
