... Saturday 12th October 1985 at the Royal Commonwealth Society. Twenty-six members were present. The last AGM had taken place on 25th September 1983, no meeting having been held in 1984 because there had been a 21 month membership year from April 1983 to December 1984. In his Report the outgoing Chairman, Brian Moore referred to the SIS tenth anniversary Egyptian Tour, whose success was due to the enthusiasm and hard work of David Rohl and Peter James and to the support of the membership. The Society as a whole was progressing satisfactorily although, in spite of the dedication of the editorial staff, lack of funds and a shortage of man hours which could be provided only on an unpaid ...
742. Sun, Moon, and Sothis [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... and Roman Egypt as of unparalleled importance in the history of calendar development. Even the Julian calendar had its origins in Hellenistic Egypt. Very likely, the Julian calendar itself was Sothic- that is, designed to follow the movements of the star Sothis (Sirius), and not just the annual motion of the Sun. Since the traditional Egyptian calendar of 365 days fell about one-fourth of a day short of the natural year, the ancients assumed that the heliacal rising of Sirius would move through the Egyptian calendar in 365 x 4 = 1460 Julian years (that is, one Sothic peniod). Egypt's Middle Kingdom has conventionally been dated to some 4000 years ago, largely on ...
743. Return to the Tippe Top [Journals] [SIS Review]
... deliberately set correctly and that it is the southern panel of Senmut and Ramesses which has been turned round for convenience so that a viewer can see the whole ceiling display the correct way up in his field of view from a single position. This, however, would destroy the astronomical alignment of the southern panel and it seems unlikely that the Egyptians would sacrifice the alignment for so minor a convenience of viewing. In either case, if these possibilities were the only reason for the reversal of one panel relative to another, then clearly Velikovsky's argument would be invalid. But that would also render Rose's criticism of the tippe top model invalid. There is also the possibility that Senmut's design ...
744. Thoth Vol I, No. 10: April 22, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... of Mexico recall that prior to the present age, an exemplary sun ruled the world, but this was not the sun of today. His name was Quetzalcoatl. The Maya maintained essentially the same idea, calling the primeval sun god Huracan. The Incas of Peru spoke of a former sun superior to the present sun. To the ancient Egyptians, the sun god Atum-Ra, the model ruler, reigned over the fortunate era for a time, then retired from the world. The Sumerian An, ruling with "terrifying splendor," was the central luminary of the sky, but not our sun, and later departed to a more remote domain. When it comes to the ...
745. Twists of Time [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2001:2 (Jan 2002) Home | Issue Contents LETTERS Twists of Time Bob Porter Replying to Geoff Barnard's letter in C&CR 2001:1 p. 73, I am partly in agreement but more explanation is required. Geoff questioned how the New Chronology could down-date Egyptian, Hittite and Babylonian chronology by c.350 years at the times of Ramesses II, Hattusilis III and their Babylonian contemporaries Kadashman Turgu and Kadshman Enlil II (the Amarna period and the whole of Late Bronze II are, of course, similarly downdated), whereas in an earlier period the First Dynasty of Babylon was only down-dated by 227 years (based ...
746. An Answer to the Critics of Ramses II and His Time [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1991 No 1 (July 1991) Home | Issue Contents ARTICLES An Answer to the Critics of Ramses II and His Time by Emmet Sweeney During and after the Glasgow Conference of 1977 an enormous body of evidence was presented against the latter part of Velikovsky's Egyptian chronology, as encapsulated in Ramses II and His Time and Peoples of the Sea. Three proofs in particular were held against Velikovsky's contention that the 19th Dynasty was separated from the 18th by a century and a half, and that the early Ramessides should be placed in the 7th/6th centuries BC. First and foremost, it was stated that clear links existed between the 18th and ...
747. The Baalim [Journals] [Kronos]
... of these deities - conventional mythologists seem to have vied with one another in confounding what had been clear all along. Baal eventually found his way into Egypt where he was worshipped at Tanis and Memphis.(7 ) Ramses II had such respect for the imported deity that he considered himself a warrior like Baal.(8 ) Of this Egyptianized Baal, A. Wiedmann had this to say: "In Egypt, Baal was regarded as a god of the sky - a conception which fairly corresponds to his original [i .e ., Semitic] nature - and as a great but essentially destructive deity."(9 ) To E. A. Wallis Budge, ...

... 639-608 BC) and during the Babylonian exile after 587 BC. Chapter II - Dating the Exodus and Settlement' - examines the implications of adopting dates for the Exodus of c.1440 BC and for the Conquest of c.1400 BC. Stiebing's assumption, in line with the conventional chronology, that this dating places both events in the Egyptian 18th Dynasty and the Late Bronze Age, leads him to reject this dating. Canaan was controlled by strong pharaohs, while John Garstang's evidence for linking the Israelites to the Habiru of the Amarna Letters had been refuted by Kathleen Kenyon in relation to the evidence for an LB II destruction of Jericho. The picture of Palestine derived from Joshua ...

... frequency. In II Sam 15:7 , 40yr (re Absalom's conspiracy) is used as a familiar' number by mistake instead of 4yr. He notes its occurrence in Antiquities of the Jews by Josephus. The 40 years on the Mesha stele is mentioned. He notes that Genesis 50:3 gives 40 days as the period of Egyptian embalming of Jacob, as commanded by Joseph. Many other instances of 40-year periods were collected by Hirzel from Greek and Roman writers. The Arabs use 40 frequently as a round' number. He quotes from the Koran: ' .. . till he reached his full strength and attained the age of forty years' and states that ...
750. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Kingdom (12th- 13th Dynasties), and in the New Kingdom 20th Dynasty. Inevitably Shea draws heavily on the pioneering work undertaken by Jacques Vandier, whose LA FAMINE DANS L'EGYPTE ANCIENNE was published in 1936, and generally follows him in his dating of specific inscriptions. A number of interesting points emerge from this latest comprehensive survey of the Egyptian evidence. First, there are few indications of famine from contemporary Old Kingdom sources. Apart from three short, broken texts attributed by Vandier to the end of 6th Dynasty, the major piece of evidence is pictorial - two registers of reliefs in the Saqqara temple of the Vth Dynasty king Unas, depicting 14 starving, emaciated people. ...
