... . creates a rather knotty problem. The description of Atlantean culture by Plato (Critias 115-120), assuming no Greek coloring, fits a Bronze Age civilization which would have appeared considerably later in time according to present understanding. Thus, some Atlantologists have sought to reduce the number of years by attributing a lunar rather than solar calendar to the Egyptians. While there seems to be no substantial evidence supporting such a view (3 ), this did not prevent the Spanish chronicler Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa in 1572 and Olaf Rudbeck of Sweden in 1675 from suggesting 1320 B.C . and 1226 B.C ., respectively, for the destruction of Atlantis; (4 ). ...
702. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , ancient chronology, and ancient science. But in so doing he has followed the path of Renaissance scholars, since such a course is inevitable once the dogmatic belief in the incorruptibility of the solar system has been questioned. The new astronomy brought forth a series of studies on ancient traditions and chronology, and effected the birth of interest in Egyptian and Mesopotamian science. For instance, Father Athanasius Kircher (1601-80) founded the study of geology with his Mundus Subterraneus, while he initiated the study of Egyptian science with his Oedypus Aegyptiacus. In Vicissitudo Rerum (1600) John Norden refers to these speculations that have been revived by Velikovsky: The antique Poets in their Poems telled Under ...

... at Mariette's and Naville's drawings? The people in Punt live in typical Sudanese huts, there are typical African animals like giraffes, a rhinoceros, baboons. There is also Eti: a typical Hottentot woman. Velikovsky's mind must have wandered when he looked at these drawings. He also did not read the text, for Perehu asks the visiting Egyptians: "How have you found this land that no-one knows of?" Can anyone imagine the reception committee of King Solomon asking the Pharaoh of Egypt that question? Wherever scholars imagine it to have been, there is only one clearly definable place depicted. Professor Kline by now will have seen John Bimson's article in C & C Review ...
704. Foreword and Introduction to Ages in Chaos [Velikovsky]
... Ages in Chaos Foreword Immanuel Velikovsky Ages in Chaos was conceived in the spring of 1940. It was then that I realized that the Exodus had occurred in the midst of a natural upheaval and that this catastrophe might prove to be the connecting link between the Israelite and Egyptian histories, if ancient Egyptian texts were found to contain references to a similar event. I found such references and before long had worked out a plan of reconstruction of ancient history from the Exodus to the conquest of the East by Alexander the Great. Already by October of the same year I had come to understand the nature and extent of that catastrophe. For a decade after that I worked simultaneously on ...

... common sounds in diverse languages common to human speech in general. In addition, and I think others such as Derek Shelley-Pearce may agree here, Jill has made the valid point that the Abraham story has mythological parallels. It has previously been suggested (in an SIS letter several years ago) the Exodus story also has strong mythological parallels with Egyptian religio-myth, i.e ., banishment, heavenly catastrophe, darkness, circumcision, etc. It is worth noting that even the historical persons of David and Solomon are semi-mythological. The idea of great physical beauty, the great and mighty king and warrior, the sacrifice of Absalom, banishment of the king, an old man and ...

... claim that the chronology of the ancient world is hundreds of years shorter than hitherto thought. Also attending will be those who, while agreeing that a shortening of chronology is necessary, consider that the one proposed by Velikovsky is untenable in one respect or another. Velikovsky was the first person in recent times to suggest that the dates ascribed to Egyptian New Kingdom dynasties were incorrect; that they should be dated centuries later; that once was done new and intriguing connections could be made between the Old Testament record and Egyptian history; and that such downdating would remove enigmatic dark ages' from many of the cultures in contact with Egypt. Although his revision of chronology has not been generally ...
708. Some 'New Chronology' Issues [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... frieze as circumstantial evidence to support the suggestion that King Horemheb may have been a co-regent of king Seti I. It also seems to be pure speculation that links Horemheb with Danaus (Hermaeus), and Seti I with Danaus's brother Sethos-Aegyptos. Apart from the similarity in their names, there is little to support the idea, either within the Egyptian or Greek legends, genealogies, chronologies and monuments. I have presented detailed evidence elsewhere, with other details forthcoming, identifying Danaus with the Hebrew Dan, and his suzerain brother Joseph as Sethos-Aegyptos, both of them being sons of the Eastern Ethiopian king Orus - The one who saw the Gods' i.e . Jacob. ( ...

... had a scientific system of measures connecting length, volume, and weight. This system was not their invention, but was developed in Mesopotamia before the origin of writing, before 3000 B.C . All units of length, volume, and weight can be derived by a few simple arithmetical rules from a single lineal standard, the so-called Egyptian foot of 300 mm. This is proved through an extensive survey of the archaeological and written evidence for the Near East and Europe, including Russia; there is prima facie evidence that the same results would be obtained by examining the evidence for China and India. This system was maintained from early Mesopotamia and Egypt into medieval Europe and is ...
