... ] was more of a friendly discussion group with about 20 attendees. Lynn Rose opened with one of those paradigm-shaking statements that catastrophists seem so fond of: "Did the Middle Kingdom know about the New Kingdom?" The reason for the question, which he admits is still unanswered, was that in the process of documenting the progression of Egyptian history for his upcoming book, he kept stumbling onto evidence that the entire Middle Kingdom of Egypt (or at least the 13th and 14th dynasties) needs to be down-dated to after the New Kingdom (one complete Sothic period later than usually accepted.) Astronomical evidence: Luft's El-Lahun papyri, discovered in the 1890's, now in former ...
572. New Chronology Issues, continued from Workshop 1991:1 [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ' Why, it might be asked, do historians postulate the existence of these earlier Olympiads? Robinson himself is well aware of the answer. Historians were forced to postulate a double founding of the Olympiads because tradition clearly linked numerous Heroic Age characters to the Games. In other words, because the Heroic Age was placed (through Sothically dated Egyptian chronology) in the second millennium BC, the Games in which the characters of this time participated also had to be placed in the second millennium. Thus a fictitious dating system for Egypt is used to construct a fictitious dating system for Greece. For Robinson then to hold up this evidence for an Olympic festival predating 776 BC is mere ...

... which in turn is fixed in relation to the vernal equinox, which had migrated to 11th March in 1582. Since then it has been 21st March which was its date at the time of the Council of Nicaea of 325 AD, 1257 years earlier, giving a difference of 9.8 days. Augustus had a sundial, using an Egyptian obelisk 30 metres high as the gnomon, built in Rome in 13 BC. On his birthday, 23rd September, the dawn and dusk shadows were along a straight line through the centre. This was the (Julian) autumnal equinox, which is still 23rd September, as it would have been in 45 BC, at which time ...
574. Ankylosis in the Chronology of Reconstructed History? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 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 ...
575. Arsu the Syrian [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Vol. I, 26-31) recounts an interesting story of Manetho about a revolt in Egypt which evidently took place, according to Josephus, 518 years after the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt. Manetho, Josephus claims, treats this later event as the original Exodus for anti-semitic reasons, linking the revolt of a large group of Egyptians, who because of leprosy and other ills had been banished from Egypt, with the Israelites. The most interesting feature, however, is that the event supposedly took place after the reign of Ramesses II- which is exactly the time period in our revised chronology where Solomon lived. (The Exodus occurred 480 years before the founding of ...

... . "( 10) This Mercurian identification was later picked up by Robert Temple, who also reproduced similar diagrams.(11) Moreover, Temple added the following: " . . . remembering that Huwawa is also the god of the cedar forest [ as described in the Sha Naqba Imuru ], it is interesting to note that in Egyptian the word seb means cedar' and also means the planet Mercury'!"(12) De Santillana and von Dechend never quite accepted this identification and, in fact, continued to favor Procyon. This is evidenced by their statement: "The identification with Procyon may eventually turn out to be the decisive clue . . ." ...
577. Calibrated Radiocarbon and the 'Methodological Fault-Line' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... " [5 ] Hole also identifies further problems with many of the radiocarbon dates, and ventures [6 ]: "it is hoped that radiocarbon scientists will address the possible sources of contamination that so disastrously affect many of the dates reported here." When we enter the realm of history proper, with the advent of the Early Dynastic Egyptians, it has long been recognised that there can be problems in applying calibrated radiocarbon dates - they are often on the old side compared to the historical chronology. Thus R. D. Long, in 1976, presented a comprehensive set of dates ranging from Early Dynastic times to the 20th Dynasty [7 ]. He noted that calibrated ...
578. Canopy Skies of Ancient Man by Isaac Vail [Books]
... became the name of a person, a hero or a deity, we will have no difficulty in understanding the history of the tabled Egyptus, Son of Belus, the latter a straight solar-god-name. It is stated in these ancient annals that Belus was the Son of Osiris, and we can readily admit this, for the latter was the Egyptian Sun. So every other solar feature was a Son of the Sun whether the progenitor was the Egyptian Osiris, or the Sun of any other people; bearing in mind that the primitive sun of every race was the sun- illuminated canopy. The only point I need to make here is the tact that, if Belus was the Son ...

... and the shaky archaeological evidence for their arrival in Palestine from the Aegean not long before the reign of Ramesses III. The Egyptologist Alessandra Nibbi has gone much further in treating the problem of the "Sea Peoples" in a radical way. She first outlined her theories in a privately published monograph "The Sea Peoples: A Re-Examination of the Egyptian Sources", 1972. In the preface to this work she stated: "The time has come when all our ideas about the so-called Sea Peoples should be set aside and the texts re-examined in a fundamental way, as a whole and with the full benefit of the work done by scholars in recent years." She points to ...

... home.freeuk.net/isis-jacf/ Journal for the Ancient Chronology Forum (JACF) 8 (Publ. Nov 1999): Iron Age Palestine: The Need for Chronological Revision by John J. Bimson: As currently constructed, the chronology of the Iron Age in Palestine is dependent on the chronology of Egypt. Any fundamental revision of Egyptian chronology will therefore require a revision of the dates given to Iron Age strata. Conversely, anomalies in the current Iron Age chronology may be indicators that all is not well with the conventional chronology of Egypt. In fact a number of anomalies point consistently to the need for a major chronological revision from which Egypt cannot escape. The Iron ...
