... , an authority which was only challenged just before the middle of the first millennium BCE? The reasons for sacrifice, including human sacrifice, to Inanna are not well understood. Riddles: The founders of the advanced culture, known today as the "Sumerians," were unknown to even the most learned scholars of antiquity. For them the Egyptian civilization was older than that of southern Mesopotamia, whose people were called Kasdim, Kaldu, or Chaldaeans by the Hebrews, Assyrians and Greeks respectively. The pyramids, whose construction is today ascribed to the so-called "early bronze age" culture in Egypt, were built of granite, quartz, basalt and diorite, materials that cannot be ...
622. Syria and Ugarit [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... James, however, I reject this late placement of the Neo-Imperial Hittite kings.7 It is tempting therefore to consider the problem solved and declare the Aziru referred to by Mursilis as the same individual as the el-Amarna correspondent- whom Velikovsky identifies as Hazael.8 The problem cannot be solved that easily, unfortunately. When the most likely revised Egyptian andHittite dates 9 are related back to Biblical data it is clear that Hazael (Azaru?) outlived Mursilis. Before determining the time of Hazael's demise the problem of Ugarit must be addressed. By placing the complete and final destruction of Ugarit at 855,10 Velikovsky has created a series of problems. Having disposed of the concept that ...
623. Squaring the Circle -- An Esoteric Tradition? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History VIII:2 (July 1986) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Squaring the Circle- An Esoteric Tradition?M.D . Stern The problems of Egyptian chronology that have been analyzed so brilliantly by Velikovsky [l ] seem to be based on a dispute as to the relative historic merits of the Bible as opposed to the Egyptian priest-historian Manetho of the third century B.C . It is a common assumption since the 18th century of Enlightenment that the Bible is essentially inaccurate and confuses myth with a dim recollection of historical events, and therefore cannot be relied upon. On the other hand, classical authors are assumed to be objective reporters of ...
624. Sword-Time, Wolf-Time, Part 2 Mars Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... Egypt an inscription of the eighth century that refers to the moon disturbed in its movement, mentions incessant fighting in the land: "While years passed in hostility, each one seizing upon his neighbour, not remembering his son to protect."1 Isaiah, speaking of the Day of Wrath, says: "And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom."2 It was no different seven hundred years earlier, in the days of the catastrophes caused by Venus. At that time an Egyptian sage complained: "I show thee ...
625. A Different View on the Chronology of Hazor [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the headless statue of the deity and on the central stele of the temple is also represented here. So the woman on this standard must be the goddess of the temple, the consort of the moon god.6 Before beginning the explanation of this find, we must point out that the proof of the chronology's validity can not come from Egyptian sources or Egyptian-based chronologies like the Minoan, Mycenaean, and Hittite (since the Egyptian scale is indeed better), but only from chronologies that do not themselves rely on Egyptian connections- for example Iron Age Assyria, Babylonia, and Phoenicia. Therefore the supposed closeness between the Hazor standard and the Cretan goddess is not a convincing proof ...
... From "Mankind in Amnesia" © 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Of The Roots Of Anti-semitism In Ages in Chaos I have exposed the untruth of Manetho's identifica-tion of the Israelites with the Hyksos. Manetho was an Egyptian historian of the third pre-Christian century writing in Greek. The hatred that until then was directed against the almost legendary Hyksos, the early conquerors and exploiters of Egypt, was from then on directed against the Jewish people. I showed also that the Hyksos, known to the Egyptians as Amu, were the same as the Amalekites of the Bible who dominated the Near East, as well as Palestine, during the long period of the wandering ...
627. Indra's Theft of the Sun-God's Wheel [Journals] [Aeon]
... the planet Mars, according to the same mythical logic, would appear as the "pupil" of the Venusian eye. It is in this sense, perhaps, that we are to understand Indra's epithet Kumaraka, signifying "pupil of the eye" as well as "youth". (112) This tradition finds a close parallel in Egyptian myth, where the god Shu is said to sit in the middle of the eye of his father Ra, the ancient sun-god. (113) And yet the Eye of Ra, according to leading scholars, is to be identified with the planet Venus! (114) Moreover, if Venus was envisaged as the wheel-like eye of ...
628. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... was upheld. My own position is similar to that expressed by Dr Danelius, that the Israel of Saul and David was friendly with Egypt only in the sense that "friends" are people who have the same enemies. As an indication of possible conflict between Egypt and Israel during the reign of David, I cited the killing of an Egyptian by David's hero, Benaiah. Dr Danelius states that this Egyptian was a mercenary, possibly in the employ of the Philistines, but gives no arguments in support of this thesis, obviously preferring her own speculation to mine. I believe logic suggests that we first consider the possibility that an Egyptian was in the employ of Egypt. However ...
629. The Date Of The Loss Of Atlantis (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... supposed to be very `old', that is, they are thought to have been evolved in `historical' times, not in the dim prehistoric ages. However, since the interpretation of an immeasurably ancient calendar system which I published in 194373 has remained without opposition, I may perhaps venture forth with the following curious facts. The Egyptian and Assyrian calendar systems are as different as is possible, and yet, on closer investigation, they contain a very significant common element. The Egyptians reckoned in solar cycles of 1,460 years, the Assyrians by lunar periods equivalent to 1,805 years. It goes without saying that the obvious procedure would be to `set ...
630. Stiebing, BAR, and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... that some scientists even attempted to prevent the publication or distribution of Velikovsky's works - a regrettable departure from the ideal of academic freedom. For Biblical scholars and ancient historians the most significant part of Velikovsky's theories is his reconstruction of ancient chronology. As the letter from Mr. Denis notes, in Ages in Chaos Velikovsky attempted to demonstrate that the Egyptian Eighteenth Dynasty did not belong to the sixteenth through the fourteenth centuries B.C . as thought by historians. Instead, it should be dated to a period of about six hundred years later. Hatshepsut (usually dated c. 1503-1482 B.C .) was equated with the Queen of Sheba who visited Solomon in the tenth century ...
