... Velikovsky presents a wealth of argument and evidence that throws serious doubt on the conventional chronology, and students of his work will find their long wait for the book well recompensed. Chapter One, "Twelfth or Fourth Century?", introduces us to the evidence that a distortion of some eight hundred years may lie behind the conventional scheme of Egyptian history when it refers to the time of Ramesses III and the XXth Dynasty, which is usually dated to the 12th century BC. It begins with a detailed description of the tiles of Ramesses III from Tell el-Yahudiya, which bear Greek letters incised on the reverse during the process of manufacture. Photographs and full descriptions of these tiles allow ...
... enter upon this point at some length. We may first inquire if there be any other class of considerations which can be utilised to continue the discussion of the question thus raised on astronomical grounds. It is obvious that if sufficient tradition exists to permit us to associate the different classes of structures which have been studied astronomically with definite periods of Egyptian history, a study of the larger outlines of that history will enable us to determine whether or not the critical changes in dynasties and rulers were or were not associated with critical changes in astronomical ideas as revealed by changes in temple-worship and pyramid building. If there be no connection the changes may have been due to a change of idea ...
563. Letter to the Editor from Christoph Marx [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... .which is proved by the lunar eclipses mentioned in the Almagest,"2 and through the Babylonian king list A with three rulers being kings of Babylonia and Assyria at the same time. Three lunar eclipses are given for the years 721 and 720. The Ptolemaic Canon, which links our own to ancient chronology, is built upon the Egyptian calendar with years of 365 days only. In effect, however, the year 763 B.C . fixes the chronologies of all nations of the Ancient East for many centuries. This date having been derived from actualistic calculations, it cannot be accepted within the frame of Reconstructed History: at least for the present it is completely impossible ...
564. Bringing Light to a Dark Age [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Ethiopia, and as Brad Aaronson of Israel has pointed out, her capital city, Thebes, is apparently a mispronunciation of Sheba, by which name Josephus knew the capital of Ethiopia. The swapping of "s " for "t " or "th" (lisping) follows a normal linguistic pattern characteristic of many Semitic dialects. The Egyptian hieroglyphic name for Thebes, reconstructed as Waset, should apparently be spelled Shewat, or Shebat, with the final "t ' being unpronounced. Another great centre of the god Amon, the oasis of Siwa, bears the same name. It should be noted that the pronunciation of hieroglyphic names is by no means always clear-cut. Thus ...
565. Review [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... series, this is speculative without the science-fiction trappings, and more soundly written and apparently more soundly researched than usual. It deals with Egypt, despite its title (which refers to the Greeks), and it does so quite remarkably. It may nevertheless be something of a test of will to read, depending on your familiarity with ancient Egyptian history. Velikovsky's thesis is that the Ramessides, or Twentieth Dynasty, conventionally placed in the Fourteenth Century BC, actually belongs in the Fourth Century BC, the error stemming from inaccurate ancient sources and maintained unjustifiably by modern scholars despite a total lack of grounds. And he makes his point quite thoroughly, quite convincingly. The accuracy of ...

... different source indicates that Pharaoh (II), Magron's father, died forty years before Joseph's own death and ruled for only 8 years: "the king's last wish was that he [Joseph] might be a father unto his son and successor Magron and administer the affairs of state for him." [4 ] In spite of some Egyptians who wished to crown Joseph as Pharaoh, this tradition claims that: "the Royal title was left to Magron,.... But Joseph was made the actual ruler of the land, and though he was only viceroy in Egypt, he reigned as king [5 ] over the land outside of Egypt as far as the ...

... proved by the lunar eclipses mentioned in the Almagest" (3 ), and through the Babylonian King List A with three rulers being kings of Babylon and Assyria at the same time. Three lunar eclipses are given for the years -721 and -720. The Ptolemaic Canon, which links our own to the ancient chronology, is built upon the Egyptian Calendar with years of 365 days only. The effect of all this is to fix the chronologies of all nations of the ancient near east for many centuries by the date -763. Because of the method of derivation of this data, it cannot be accepted within the framework of a reconstructed chronology; at least for the present it is ...
568. The Ring of Truth by Isaac Vail [Books]
... answer to this question must also answer the former question; what waters did the Spirit move upon? That is, if we locate the Deity of primitive man, we locate the waters also. I presume there is not a man who knows anything at all of the great world's primitive thought, whether ancient Hebrew, Assyrian, Iranian, Egyptian, Indian, Grecian, Roman, Celtic, or American, that does not know that the chief deity of all ancient peoples dwelt on high and in the heavens. Most emphatically this was the case of the ancient Hebrews who eventually called their Deity the Most High God- the God of the highest heaven. Then it is plain ...
569. The Problem of Adjusting the Date Limits of the Archaeological Ages to Meet Velikovsky's Revision [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Seminar of Catastrophism and Ancient History (1985) Home | Issue Contents The Problem of Adjusting the Date Limits of the Archaeological Ages to Meet Velikovsky's Revision Donovan A. Courville Introduction It is only recently that the necessity for revising the dates for the archaeological ages has come to the front as a factor in evaluating the feasibility of Velikovsky's revision of Egyptian chronology as provided in Ages in Chaos. This problem, however, was recognized by the writer as early as the mid-1960's, as indicated by a placement of the exodus/conquest era at the end of the Early Bronze Age. [1 ] The principle involved was iterated at the 1978 Glasgow Conference in an article by John Bimson ...

C.- BOOKS III. IV. AND V.; ANALYSIS AND PROBABLE DATES. (1 ) Book III. In Book III. 1-45 is Jewish, Egyptian, and of uncertain date. A similar but more elaborate proclamation of monotheism is found in Theophilus of Antioch (II. 36)- the editors print it as fragments I. -III- and said by him to have stood [Greek]. Lactantius quotes this as "Erythæan": and with him "Sibylla Erythræa" ...
