... suggestions that after Akhenaten appointed Nefertiti as coregent, Tiye fulfilled the ceremonial functions - and possibly the intimate ones as well - of great royal wife. Amenhotep 4 (Akhenaten) A younger son of Amenhotep 3, his older brother died at a young age. He was an ambiguous figure about whom opinions range widely. Under his direction, Egyptian official religion was forced to undergo great change. Several temples, and in particular the priesthood of Amun, were severely curtailed, and the officially promoted religion focused on the sun disk, the Aten. Additionally he began the construction of a new capital city at Akhetaten, entirely unconnected with any traditional site. In terms of artwork and ...
652. Rehabilitation Of Censorinus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... according to L.Munatus Plancus - the imperator Caesar, the divine son, was proclaimed Augustus by the senate and the rest of the citizens on the 16th day before the calends of February [of the year] when he [Caesar] was consul for the seventh time and M.Vipsanius Agrippa for the third time; but the Egyptians, as they had come two years earlier under the power of the Roman people, count this year as the 267th. By us as well as by the Egyptians certain years are mentioned in writings called by them "of Nabonassar" because they are enumerated from the first year of his reign. Of these this is the 986th; ...
653. A Testing Time [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in the centre of the tomb. One particular tomb ( 'H13') had a scarab in it associated with the final burial and, according to Kenyon, this was one of the last tombs to be occupied or used before the fall of Middle Bronze Age Jericho. The scarab found in this tomb read Sheshi' which is an Egyptian hieroglyphic name for a king of the early Hyksos period, so, in David's opinion, this dates the fall of Jericho to during or soon after the time of Sheshi. At Tell el-Ajjul, which is on the coast south of Gaza, there is a stratified sequence where scarabs of Sheshi appear in context with other Egyptian pharaohs. ...
654. Worlds In Collision And Recent Finds In Archaeology. Ch.17 Supplement (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... appear only insignificant." Schaeffer's work sheds a new light on the conclusions at which Sir Arthur Evans arrived after many years of archaeological work on Crete: the island was shattered in violent catastrophes that were accompanied by fire, and in these upheavals the cultural and political ages of the Minoan kingdom went down, at the same time that corresponding Egyptian ages were terminated. Troy III was destroyed and covered by a fifty-foot layer of ashes when the Middle Kingdom in Egypt fell; the volcano on the island of Thera exploded with almost unimaginable fury; recent archaeological work in the Indus Valley showed, too, that about 1500 BC, and in advance of the Arian invasion, cities with ...
655. The Search for Sethos [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 6 No 1 (May 1985) Home | Issue Contents The Search For Sethos John J. Bimson Introduction In SISR V:1 (1980/1 ), p.25, I promised to discuss in a subsequent paper the identity of the Egyptian king whom Herodotus calls Sethos. The projected paper was referred to there (in n. 132) as Sennacherib, Sethos and the Year 701', my intention being to discuss in a single paper the date of the campaign against Jerusalem in which the army of Sennacherib was dramatically destroyed (11 Kings 19:35-36), and the identity of Sethos, under whom Egypt, like Jerusalem ...
656. From Creation to the Death of Isaac [Books]
... describing the circumstances of the flood, he goes on thus: "It is said there is still some part of this ship in Armenia, at the mountain of the Cordyaeans; and that some people carry off pieces of the bitumen, which they take away, and use chiefly as amulets for the averting of mischiefs." Hieronymus the Egyptian also, who wrote the Phoenician Antiquities, and Mnaseas, and a great many more, make mention of the same. Nay, Nicolaus of Damascus, in his ninety-sixth book, hath a particular relation about them; where he speaks thus: "There is a great mountain in Armenia, over Minyas, called Baris, upon which ...
657. Sothic Dating and Historical Reconstructions [Articles]
... is well up river from, say, Alexandria. There in the precincts of a temple of Sesostris II, already deceased, these various documents were found. It's a large collection of papyri. Some of these have various dates on them. Now the dates are not always completely straightforward; sometimes it will be a date given in the Egyptian calendar, but it doesn't say what the Moon is doing. Sometimes the name of the king is missing. In fact, that is usually the case, but one can put these pieces together and make an effort to determine the time when Sesostris II would have lived and his successor Sesostris III, and Amenemhat III. The latter ...
658. Newton And Historical Science [Journals] [Kronos]
... contre le systeme chronologique de Newton (Paris, 1758). The strongest argument, however, against Newton's contention that the ancient evidence on astronomical events is unreliable is contained in Fréret's essay on ancient geodesy, in which he maintained not only that the length of the circumference of the Earth was well known in ancient times but also that the Egyptians knew the length of their country almost to the cubit.(2 ) In 1816, Jean-Antoine Letronne (1787-1848), after reviewing the entire documentation on the subject in a work crowned by the Academie des Inscriptions, concluded that, given the precision of the Egyptian methods of geodetic surveying, the declaration of Fréret "is verified or ...

... reign, about 20 years, everything goes well. By the end of Solomon's reign, the kingdom is severely weakened with the loss of Edom and the Syrian lands in secessions supported by Egypt and probably the Hittites respectively. His own Israelite lands are about to revolt because of his unpopular policies (the corvee and taxation), and an Egyptian puppet ruler (Jeroboam I) is ready to seize power upon Solomon's death. The wealth and power of Solomon's kingdom had been based on trade in three directions - through Phoenicia (but Hiram was sorely displeased with payment for his work), towards Mesopotamia (trade hampered by the loss of Syria) and south out of Ezion-Geber ( ...
660. A Reply to Palmer's 'In Search of Alter Egos' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Palmer's objection to this equation again centres mainly on reign-lengths. He also writes that Sargon never reigned in Egypt'. Having read my Ramessides, Medes and Persians [4 ], he should know that there is much evidence to the contrary. Thus a Greek Jamanu' who stirred up rebellion against Sargon in Gaza was delivered by the Egyptians to the Assyrian king in chains: a circumstance which strongly suggests Assyrian influence on the country, whilst the large-scale impact of Egyptian art on Assyria (Mesopotamia) begins in the time of Sargon, witness, thought Rawlinson, to a huge number of Egyptian slaves arriving there at this time [5 ]. Even more to the point ...
