... Day argued against Velikovsky's revised chronology on several points. One of his arguments (pp.9 - 10, under the heading The Exodus) concerned Exodus 1: 11, the verse which states that the Israelites in Egypt built for pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses. Raamses is generally assumed to be the same as the city known from Egyptian sources as Pi-Ramesse, the Delta residence-city of Rameses II. Day therefore seized on the verse as support for the view which associates the Exodus with the reign of Rameses II as conventionally dated. The last issue of this Review included a letter by Dr Eva Danelius (15, pp.24-5), chiefly concerned with answering Day on ...
552. Ages in Chaos in the Light of C14 Archaeometry [Journals] [Pensee]
... , 1972. The chart of C14 dates was prepared by MacKie. Introduction Among most scholars the conventional chronology of Pharaonic Egypt is considered a reliable framework for the history and archaeology of the entire Middle East. Based to a large extent on the well-known dynastic scheme compiled at the beginning of the third century B.C . by the Greek-writing Egyptian historian Manetho, this chronology has been augmented and partially modified by evidence from the monuments and records such as the Palermo Stone and Turin Royal Canon (Turin Papyrus) king lists. However, certain portions of it, especially those relating to various post-Middle Kingdom dynasties, create a number of perplexing difficulties. Thus, as a consequence of ...
553. Clockwork [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of time came in two batches. First there was the historical batch, epitomized in V. s Ages in Chaos. Second, there was the geological batch, which could also be epitomized in V. s Earth in Upheaval. Let us see what V. did with time in both regards. V. aligned and connected Jewish and Egyptian history which had hitherto gone along on separate tracks. The alignment settled upon the Exodus at about 1450 B.C ., the Biblical date tied it into the end of the 13th Dynasty of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt with Hyksos invaders as the Amalekite enemies of the Biblical Hebrews. He begins the splendid 18th Dynasty of Egypt at ...
554. The End of Mitanni and Some Related Problems [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the time of Tushratta is reasonably established,1 and need not concern us here. But problems relative to the location of the Mitannian kingdom and its final decades are much in question. Dr. Velikovsky's proposed relocation of Mitanni in northern Iran2 is contrary to the available data. In support of his theory Velikovsky failed to present any evidence of Egyptian contact with this region, or satisfactorily refute the fact that all the evidence points to a state centered close to the upper Euphrates. For example Paratarna, the first Mitannian king about whom we have any information, is referred to as his overlord by Idrimi, king of Alalah.3 Tablets belonging to this king and his successor, ...
555. The City of the Sun. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... of the same manufacture as those found in Mycenae. Archaeologists dubbed a street in Akhet-Aton "Greek Street" because of the abundance of this ware.2 On the basis of it, the age of King Akhnaton is established as synchronous with the Mycenaean age in Greece, and the time of the Mycenaean age is fixed by the timetable of Egyptian chronology. In this, his new capital, away from the stifling atmosphere of Thebes with its closed temples and discharged priesthood, Akhnaton enjoyed the life of a sovereign adored by his subjects, in the circle of his family, in lively intercourse with diplomats and ambassadors, attending temple services, traveling with his queen Nefretete in his royal ...
556. Scarab in the Dust: Egypt in the Time of the Twenty-First Dynasty [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... seen, it was a period of anarchy in Egypt, when the land was overrun by foreigners. Significantly, the term used is different from those used to describe Libyans or Ethiopians. Who, then, was meant? The James-Rohl revisionists start the Twenty-first Dynasty at c. 800 B.C . Their model lacks any convincing correlation between Egyptian and biblical history, and posits the identification of Ramses II as Shishak, who sacked the Temple of Solomon in the time of his son Rehoboam- an identification tenuous in the extreme. But it also faces the problem that, at the 800 B.C . period, there is no candidate for a foreign invader of Egypt. ...
557. How Much Did They Know? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... indebtedness to the work of Livio Stecchini, who has contributed an appendix (nearly a quarter of the whole book) summarising the results of his extensive researches into the systems of measurement used in the ancient world, with the Great Pyramid as a particular example. Stecchini believes - and quotes extensive evidence in support of this belief - that the Egyptians, and other ancient peoples, had accurate knowledge (derived from accurate astronomical observations) of the dimensions of the earth (including its deviation from a true sphere), that they used a system of geodetic units of measurement derived from these dimensions, that they surveyed their land with great accuracy and related its dimensions and shape to their ...
558. The Comet Of Typhon, Part 1 Venus Ch.3 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... that led him to the same conclusion at which we have arrived, namely, that the Typhon comet appeared in the time of the Exodus, is a task not yet accomplished. Servius says that more information about the calamities caused by this comet is to be found in the writings of the Roman astrologer Campester and in the works of the Egyptian astrologer Petosiris.(10) It is possible that copies of works of some authors containing citations from the writings of these ancient astrologers, preserved in the libraries of Europe, were Rockenbach's manuscript sources. Campester, as quoted by Lydus, was certain that should the comet Typhon again meet the earth, a four-day encounter would suffice to ...
559. Suns and Planets in Neolithic Rock Art [Journals] [Aeon]
... the message of the writer. (19) Initially, the various pictographs represented familiar objects as realistically as possible, and thus in most cases it is possible to identify the natural objects depicted in the various pictographs. Upon further evolution of the script, however, the signs took on an increasingly abstract character (particularly in Mesopotamia, the Egyptian script generally retaining its pictographic form). The Assyrian character , for example, is known to have evolved from a Sumerian pictograph featuring a bird. (20) Recognizable amongst the earliest pictographs of the Sumerians, Egyptians, Maya and Chinese is the "solar" disc with central dot (our Figure 2). In both Egypt ...
560. The Riddle of the Earth [Books]
... In i8ii another island, named Sabrina, occurred during a volcanic eruption, which burnt furiously for a few days and then subsided. Its presence is now only preserved by a shoal some fathoms under water. * Helios was not the Sun, but Sirius, the Sun of Suns, greatly adored by the ancients, and especially by the Egyptians, who were accomplished astronomers. Sirius is the star which for long ages has been thought to be related to conietary visitations of the tandem or double variety. 68. The phenomena of San Miguel of 1811was interesting. At the latter end of 1810 severe earthquake shocks were experienced which sent a solfatara into eruption. This solfatara possesses hot ...
