... and early 19th dynasty tombs in the middle of the 19th century. However, it has only recently been opened for systematic exploration. In this era Memphis is thought to have been the administrative capital, hence the burial of court officials. Officials' tombs seem to have a standardised layout, showing strong similarity to the plan view of an Egyptian temple. Although there is considerable variation in size, the template itself varies less. An initial approach leads to a courtyard with columns, leading to an area with statues of gods, after which is the central burial area and focus of cultic activity. In Horemheb's tomb, the iconography and artwork have reverted to traditional forms - the ...
762. Quartered At Yale [Journals] [Kronos]
... was covered with gloom for many years. It is said also that a new bright star was born in the days of Yao. All this, I demonstrated in my book, has exact counterparts in Jewish legends and traditions, as narrated in the Scriptures, Midrash, and Talmud, relative to the time of the Exodus, and in Egyptian traditions (and in Mayan) as well. The sole difference is that according to the Egyptian source the sun remained below the horizon for nine days, causing the "Egyptian darkness" - or for seven days according to Midrashic tradition. This shows there was no borrowing by the Chinese from Egypt or Judea, nor the other way ...
... . In this capacity he had under his care all the antiquities-the monuments in the field and in the museums, the famous Cairo Museum included-and every excavation made in Egypt, by whatever agency or learned society was under his supervision. [Later, after] the revolution in Egypt, [Droiton held the] post as chief curator of the Egyptian Department of the Louvre Museum in Paris." 2 His letter in full goes on to state on the next page, "Dear Doctor [Velikovsky], You have so kindly sent me a copy of your fine book, Ages in Chaos, which I received this morning, and which I have already read almost inits entirety, ...
764. Still Facing Unfair Criticism (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... , with Pi-Kharoti (Goyon) equivalent to Pi-Kharoti (A in C) or Pi-Khiroti (W in C). Then why even use such an accusative term as guilty, especially with Velikovsky's additional explanation (A in C, p. 44, fn. 15) as quoted by Mewhinney: "the vowels in the translation of the Egyptian text are a conjecture of the translator: the name can also be read Pi-Khirot." To this Mewhinney adds condescendingly: "This may be perfectly true, though at least the translator's conjecture is presumably based on a knowledge of Coptic, while Velikovsky's was not. Yet this is a small point, and the name is similar enough ...
765. An Integrated Model for an Earthwide Event at 2300 BC. Part II: The Climatological Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Lake Chad expanding in area to a size comparable to the Caspian Sea today. Profound ecological changes accompanied these periods of more effective precipitation, enabling human occupancy and cultural activities to take place in Saharan Africa at a scale which is almost inconceivable today. The high lake phase continued until 4500-4000 BP (2500-2000 BC)." A number of Egyptian 5th Dynasty reliefs show wild animals in the open, on undulating desert sands studded with tree-sized sycamores and acacias as well as desert shrubs [58]. There is some indication of a gradually increasing aridity starting about 3000 BC, but this apparently was not a critical variation, since high African stream activity with correspondingly high Nile floods is ...
766. A Critic in the Desert [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the end of the Late Bronze the Galilee had already been ruined and long deserted, while the central hills (Samaria) were flourishing again; many of the Late Bronze settlements in the southern hills had been destroyed in a violent action, and undergone a distinct cultural change, while in the Central valleys and in the Shephela region, the Egyptian influence continued long after the Late Bronze culture had vanished. Obviously, an hypothetical period of dryness at the end of the Late Bronze Age can not explain such heterogeneous phenomena. It seems that to criticize the current theories is easier than to come up with a new original solution. In "Out of the Desert?" Stiebing unexpectedly ...
767. Letters to the Editor C&AH 4:2 [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . How could Thutmoses I have reached the Euphrates without much struggle, when Thutmoses III had such a hard time reaching it? If we follow Velikovsky's revision then we can understand it. If Thutmoses I was an ally of David, who reached the Euphrates, then there is no problem; remember that David's son, Solomon, received an Egyptian princess for a wife. Another problem we can better understand using Velikovsky's revision is the battle between Hatshepsut and Thutmoses III. Hatshepsut kept the throne of Egypt (Sib'a- this name for the throne used by the Assyrians in the 8th century might be the Sheba of the Old Testament) from Thutmoses III with great difficulty. It is ...
768. History, Proto-history, and Synchronisms [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... prior to the sixth or seventh centuries B.C . makes all dating of events in earlier centuries and millennia uncertain. This fact is candidly conceded by a minority of Egyptologists and Assyriologists. One example of such candor is provided by Alan Gardiner, who declared (Egypt of the Pharaohs, 1961) that "what is proudly advertised as Egyptian history is merely a collection of rags and tatters." Another comes from Leo Oppenheim, who wrote (Ancient Mesopotamia, 1964), "The cuneiform texts have given us a strangely distorted picture of more than two thousand years of Mesopotamian civilization . . . torn to shreds again and again by immense gaps in time and space. ...
769. Exodus and Shishak Unraveled [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... convenience I date around 1185 B.C . A close reading of the annals of Thutmose III and the Bible will surely show that his identification with Shishak was an exercise in wishful thinking. (Taanach remains a problem for the EBIII Exodus/EBIV conquest solution.) The problem of Shishak then falls into place when one looks for an Egyptian king who invades Palestine- but not too far nor too long, which is the real situation described in the Bible. The selection finally falls to Ramesses III for the following reasons: The profile of Ramesses' invasion fits the details; those of Ramesses II and Thutmose III do not. Ramesses III was noted as being the most ...
770. Eastern Anatolia and Velikovsky's Chronological Revisions - II [Journals] [Kronos]
... of the Hyksos invasion of Egypt (traditionally the late eighteenth century B.C .) with the date of the Exodus, and demonstrating their coevality to the fifteenth century B.C ., Velikovsky has brought the former event some three centuries closer to the present. In so doing, not only are some 500 years of later duplicate Egyptian history cast out, but the histories of all of the peoples which have been synchronized with that of Egypt must be brought down by an equal length of time.(1 ) The purpose of this study is to apply Velikovsky's chronology to an area of the ancient world to which he has given only passing attention in his work, ...
