... They proved that all the nations were repeating the same stories, in some cases in almost identical words, just as their ancestors had heard them, in some most ancient land, in "the dark background and abysm of time," when the progenitors of the German, Gaul, Gael, Greek, Roman, Hindoo, Persian, Egyptian, Arabian, and the red people of America, dwelt together under the same roof-tree and used the same language. But, above all, these legends prove the absolute fidelity of the memory of the races. We are told that the bridge piles driven by the Romans, two thousand years ago, in the rivers of Europe, ...
542. Keeper of Genesis by Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is not 3.14 but 3.14159..... which does not fit the dimensions quoted.] Warming to their task, and taking out even more sensitive measuring devices, they give the dimensions of each of the four sides of the pyramid's base to the nearest ten thousandth of an inch, implying that the ancient Egyptians worked to the same precision, which certainly does not follow. Similarly, they write that the pyramid was aligned within 3 arc minutes of true north but do not provide details of exactly how this was measured. Bauval and Hancock point out that the height of the pyramid multiplied by 43,200 approximately equals the polar radius of the ...
543. The Thirteenth Theory of the Hyksos [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... theory, which equates the Hyksos with Palestinian princes or Syro-Canaanites in general, can still muster a considerable number of supporters. Syro-Palestine's Middle Bronze Age IIB-C shows a strong archaeological similarity with Hyksos sites in Egypt, e.g . Tell Daba. However, Mesopotamia proves to be another serious contender in this field. More importantly, the ancient Egyptians themselves did not identify the Hyksos with Canaanites. On the Amada Stela from the time of Amenophis II (1439 to 1413) the Hyksos and the princes of Palestine (Retenu) ' are mentioned together (Stock, 1942, p. 71 - italics added; cf. also Bietak 1980, col. 102). Obviously the ...
544. A Seven Year Famine in the Reign of King Djoser with Other Parallels between Imhotep and Joseph [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the night, and said: "I am God, the God of your father." The King Dreams of a Time of Plenty In both stories the Pharaoh dreams of a time of plenty, when the granaries are full, and in both, the dreams are fulfilled so that there is abundance throughout the land; but in the Egyptian account the abundance follows upon the famine, whereas in the Joseph story this is reversed. The Pharaoh dreams: And I found the God standing in front of me. I made prayer and supplication before him. Then he opened his eyes and his heart was inclined, and his words were strong, "I am Khnum, who ...
545. Thanatos and Anastasis [Journals] [Aeon]
... Christ, who like a sun gives light to the nether world and who, radiant as the sun, rose from the dead on Easter day." (14) Yet, we need not look far to find the pagan counterparts of Easter eve. Indeed, the ceremonial details of the early Christian celebration of Easter were probably rooted in Egyptian paganism. From Herodotus we learn that- the commemoration of the divine passion [of Osiris] was held once a year [and] the sufferings of the god were displayed as a mystery by night....A great feature of the festival was the nocturnal illumination. People fastened rows of oil-lamps to the outside of their ...
546. Tony Rees on Lasken's chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... so could they now please take time to address the specific queries that I have been asking them? Reply from Jess Lasken Tony's first question is What was the date for the fall of Troy and who was Manetho's contemporary 19th Dynasty Thuoris/Polybus? ' As I have stated in various papers, one of the fundamental flaws of the conventional Egyptian chronologies and the variants on it is the use of the 31 dynasty framework postulated from selected late epitomes of Manetho. If the Iliad is historically based, Troy's fall obviously took place long before the proper datings for most Egyptian material now classified as New Kingdom. ' So none of the New Kingdom' material is likely to yield the ...
547. The Son of Tanit Among the Olmecs: Additional Evidence of a Possible Phoenician Contact with the Olmecs [Journals] [Kronos]
... Baal of Tyre.(15) Jairazbhoy's arguments include Mexican Indian legends to the effect that their ancestors came from a land to the east,(16) the claim of Rameses III to have sent his (largely Phoenician) navy to the "ends of the world',(17) the similarity of helmets depicted on Olmecs and ancient Egyptians,(18) a posited sharing of a custom of penis truncation or mutilation,(19) a disputed sharing of the use of cylinder seals,(20) and the many similarities in the religious beliefs.(21) Jairazbhoy also suggests a Hebrew element in the purported contact, pointing to the incorporation into the Popol Vuh ...
548. Cushan Rishathaim [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... review all of the proposals that have been made by those who consider Cushan to have been a historical figure, thus attention is focused upon a couple of candidates who have enjoyed the most popularity recently. The first of these is Irsu from Egypt.3 He ruled there briefly during the interval between the 19th and 20th dynasties. The relevant Egyptian text describes him as a "Syrian."4 In actuality, however, Irsu does not make a good candidate for Cushan. Irsu did not invade Egypt from the north, he came to power from within Egypt at a time of weakness. As far as is known from Egyptian sources, he never conducted any foreign military campaigns ...
549. Avaris and the Land of Goshen [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... for defending his newly acquired domains from the Assyrians. We are further told that Memphis was seized and used as the Administration centre by Salatis. The Assyrians, or indeed any Asiatic invasion force that wished to attack the Delta, take Memphis and then move either into the Western Delta or Southwards into Middle Egypt, only had access to the Egyptian Delta by two main routes. The most Northerly entrance point was via the border fortress and bridge at Sile. From there the road turned South Westwards along the side of the Waters of Shihor, thence along the route of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile. The more Southerly entrance through the North Eastern border was near modern-day Imailiyah at ...
550. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... In his book on the origins and spread of glazing (reviewed in SISR III:4 ) he had shown that glazing had developed in the Aegean and spread from there to the Near East, and that this sequence of events was not consistent with the currently accepted chronology of the Bronze Age, which depended on a highly suspect structure of Egyptian chronology, derived from Herodotus, Manetho and incomplete and inaccurate king lists. Moreover, an error by Petrie in assigning glazed objects found at Abydos to the Egyptian Ist Dynasty (in spite of the presence of what he himself recognised as Mycenaean pottery) and the correlation of the Ist Dynasty with the Mesopotamian Jemdet Nasr period had been accepted ...
