... marking the beginning of the new year; the hieratic and hieroglyphic versions, however, assign the same role to Sothis, or Sirius.(1 ) Velikovsky, on the authority of Pliny,(2 ) identifies the star of Isis as the planet Venus(3 ) and explains that both Venus and Sirius had a role in the Egyptian calendar, the real purpose of the Decree being to make the calendar independent of Venus. Egyptologists generally consider both "star of Isis" and "Sothis" to refer to Sirius. Of the arguments put forward by Velikovsky against this interpretation, I consider the strongest to be the fact that a calendar based on a fixed star would ...
632. Venus and Sirius: Some Unexpected Similarities [Journals] [Kronos]
... . "Dog of the Sun"); (nb. l, n, & r frequently are interchanged when words are borrowed from one language to another; frequently these are in free or conditioned variation with one another in the same language; and frequently one of these in a language can become another in the course of time) Egyptian- [Cahen Sihor], "Sirius"(29) Venus, in Mesoamerica, is sometimes named with the sound sequence kan or q'an (or something similar, or cognate). The Venus glyph (T510) is the glyph of the day in the Maya veintena named Lamat (and it is in fact called Lamat-Venus in ...
633. On The Merits of the Revised Chronologies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... there are genuine difficulties with the Revised Chronology. Many of these have already been answered, and those that have not are grossly outnumbered by the serious problems with the Conventional Chronology. After the failure of the "Glasgow Chronology" - the only way to hold on to both the first part of the Revised Chronology and the conventional order of Egyptian dynasties - came the Rohl and James attempt [the "New Chronology"] which rejects even more of the well-documented Revised Chronology and which can only be followed next by a full return to the Conventional Chronology. Both the Glasgow Chronology and the New Chronology rest on much weaker ground than the Conventional Chronology, which in turn is clearly ...
634. Critique of David Rohl's A Test of Time [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Time by Dale F. Murphie Dale Murphie has spent his working life in accountancy and commerce. He is also a research consultant on family history and genealogy. He is currently preparing for publication a book on a revised chronology, based on Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos but bringing in many changes. According to David Rohl, The evidence from the Egyptian monumental reliefs, artefacts and documents points to the identification of Ramesses II as the historical counterpart of the biblical Shishak, conqueror of Jerusalem' [1 ]. The evidence certainly points to Ramesses II having been in the Judaean capital but is this conclusion the only option? Velikovsky's Revised Chronology also had Ramesses II visiting Jerusalem - but in ...
635. Science, Technology and the Chronology of the Ancient World [Journals] [Aeon]
... but well over a thousand years would be required if the theories of Heinsohn and Sweeney are correct. How could such a large discrepancy be explained? Ginenthal draws attention to the shortage of trees in Egypt, a situation that must have existed throughout the historical period, because of the prevailing dry conditions. Where, then, did the Ancient Egyptians get the wood they needed? Ginenthal suggests they used fallen trees from the previous wet period, which had been preserved by being covered in sand for more than a thousand years. Hence the very early radiocarbon dates. [18] It cannot be said that this ingenious suggestion is impossible, but it hardly constitutes positive evidence for the ...
636. A Personal Reminiscence [Journals] [Aeon]
... any in physics, he was ill prepared for such a project, to say the least. Already established in Europe as an author and a noteworthy scholar when he came to New York in 1939, he planned only to carry on his historical researches at the Columbia University libraries. His interests turned to ancient history, particularly as developed in Egyptian papyri, biblical sources, and the mythologies and folklores of various civilizations. According to his own account, he spent ten years comparing these historical sources, and concluded that there is a chronological discrepancy between the biblical portrayal of the exodus and the portrayal in the Ipuwer Papyrus of what Velikovsky accepted as the same series of events, a ...
637. Greek History Begins in the Sixth Century B.C. [Journals] [Aeon]
... for national and religious identity almost every scientific attempt to separate the reliable from the implausible tradition, and correspondingly, to reject mythical accounts and dates has always been treated with hostility by the general public, scientists included. This is especially true for European chronology that has always been at a disadvantage compared to the Oriental tradition. In comparison with Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Jewish chronology Greek history unfortunately was rather belated, despite its central importance for European identity. This obvious chronological inferiority-complex certainly provided one of the reasons why historians, for a long time, believed in the authenticity of ancient mythological genealogies. Thus, the long-cherished desire to lengthen Greek chronology was overpowering when suddenly Egyptian relicts ...
638. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Benny Peiser. The TV programmes were the 1972 BBC Horizon documentary Worlds in Collision' (never repeated again on television after its first showing) and the 1972 Canadian programme Bonds of the Past'. Both had stood the test of time remarkably well and included some fascinating footage, including interviews and lectures by Velikovsky. Tony Rees's talk on Egyptian Cabbalastic Chronology' was based on his forthcoming book and effectively formed the second part of the talk he delivered at the 1993 Nottingham meeting. Just as on that occasion, Tony ran out of time before saying all he would have liked to say but still there was plenty to catch people's interest and stimulate a lively discussion session. Tony's ...

... grain heap which may have been diseased. He admits this is speculative but notes that the Lord struck down the first born of Egypt, including that of pharaoh, and the firstborn of their livestock. First born male animals were set apart to be used at religious sacrificial meals and their meat was fed to the priests. He suggests the Egyptians also regarded first born animals as holy too which might also be taken a step further to indicate the 10th plague was in effect a consecration (or sacrifice to God). Humphries shies away from this interpretation. However, in the step by step process of moving from one plague to the next he arrives at March or April for ...

... of recorded history, but sedimentary records indicate that there were 4 even greater ones between 6,000 and 8,000 years ago. Sunken Cities The Sunday Times magazine 20.8 .00, pp. 16-25 Archaeologists have discovered the underwater remains of the three Nile Delta cities of Canous, Menouthis and Herakleion. Herakleion was the main Egyptian port and a thriving city by 450 BC when visited by Herodotus. The cities survived through the Greek, Roman and Christian eras but disappeared in the 7th century AD after the Muslim conquest. They seem to have sunk beneath the waves rapidly, probably due to violent earthquake activity which caused subsidence and tsunamis. The area has a long ...
