... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Water Clock Besides the gnomon, or sundial, the Egyptians used the water clock, which had the advantage over the former of showing time during the night as well as during the day. A complete example was found in the Amon Temple of Karnak (Thebes), 25.5 north of the equator. This water clock dates from the time of Amenhotep III of the Eighteenth Dynasty, father of Ikhnaton. The jar has an opening through which water flows out; ma rks are incised on the inner surface of the jar to indicate the time. Since the Egyptian day ...
832. Sandal-straps and Semiology [Books] [de Grazia books]
... its tail, the victim of this accident being not only the two-sexed god concerned, but also the Earth on which the tail in the form of Phaeton, Typhon, Lucifer and Pallas descended with disastrous consequences. Lowery, the Editor, partly out of deviltry and partly out of pedantry, pulled Rix up sharply. Citing dictionaries of hieroglyphic Egyptian, he could say that "the evidence of Egyptian script makes it unambiguously clear that when an Egyptian scribe drew an ankh' he, at least, was in no doubt that he was drawing a sandal-strap (somewhat stylized)"[1 ]. This constraint upon the word excited Dr. Rix into a reply that explained how ...

834. Some Ideas for Further Investigation [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... History IX:1 (Jan 1987) Home | Issue Contents INTERACTION Some Ideas for Further Investigation Arie Dirkzwager We are eventually witnessing the beginning of the final development of the revised chronology. I think that in the contributions of Hickman[1 ] and Sieff[2 ] there emerges a new framework of biblical chronology and a new approach to Egyptian history. Together their articles will enable us to refine what has been established and to synchronize the histories of other peoples. I am happy to see that the new absolutely fixed starting point I wanted[3 ] has been found in the astronomical phenomena occurring during the reign of Nebuchadnezzar.[4 ] I am pleased with the role ...
835. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... have been real and sequential aspects of single titanic cataclysm of natural forces? If the Exodus took place during - or because of-an upheaval, perhaps some record of the same events has survived among the many documents of ancient Egypt; if so, might not such a record be a clue to the proper place of the Exodus in Egyptian history? After weeks of search Velikovsky came upon the story he sought. A papyrus bearing a lamentation by one Ipuwer had been preserved in the library of the University of Leiden, Holland, since 1828. Translation of the document by A. H. Gardiner in 1909 had disclosed an account of plague and destruction closely paralleling the Biblical ...
836. Akhnaton: A Geneticist's View [Journals] [Pensee]
... sphinx destroyed, fifthly, the returned prince erasing his father's name and taking his mother as his Great Wife, sixthly, his deposition by his son (Smenkh-Ka-Re), the burial of this son without honour, his brother (Tutankhamen) supplanting him, dying, and being buried in splendour. These similarities indicate that it was a true Egyptian story which was taken to Greece. The transfer is itself in turn confirmed by its later history. It was attached by the Greeks to their city which was founded, they said, by an immigrant prince who gave it the same name the Greeks gave to the Egyptian capital, the name of Thebes. This story, passed on ...

... pyramid has five ceilings of granite slabs, one above the other. Earthquakes have been extremely severe in wrenching, as all the deep beams of granite over the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid are snapped through at the south end, or else dragged out .. . The whole roof hangs now by merely catching contact' (Petrie, Egyptian Architecture)." In a lecture delivered in April 1966 at Yale University on the subject, "The Pyramids, Their Purpose and Orientation," I stressed that the entirety of Egyptian astronomy, as G.A . Wainwright brought out, was developed with the celestial position of the terrestrial axis playing the governing role. Chinese astronomy ...
... : Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky, an international scholar... has assembled into a monumental work evidence from all the early civilizations that in the first and second millennium before Christ tremendous terrestrial cataclysms took place. In a magnificent piece of scholarly historical research he has correlated Sumerian, Chaldean, Hindu, Chinese, Mayan, Aztec, Islandic, Egyptian and Hebrew records showing that the times of cataclysms described in all of them correspond.. . . The earth, on at least two occasions, was shaken to such an extent that the prevailing calendar was thrown out of gear on its yearly basis and by several days on isolated occasions, as well as tilting its axis so that ...
839. Dating the Amarna Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of the Amarna correspondence, so we have an enormous quantity of material on him. One of the items we have, repeated time and time again in his letters, is that he writes from GUBLA, and Gubla is his main residence. Gubla, furthermore, is a place we can identify. From quite early times, from the Egyptian 6th Dynasty on, throughout the Middle Kingdom, and the 18th Dynasty, we have many references to Gubla: it is Byblos on the coast of Phoenicia. We do not know of an accredited scholar who thinks otherwise. One then has to ask what persuaded Velikovsky to abandon the usual identification of Gubla = Byblos. If one looks ...

A. Parker's widely accepted thesis that the Egyptians used a 365 day calendar throughout most of their history. They note that there is little positive evidence in favour of Parker's contention: for the Old Kingdom we have only two inscriptions mentioning the five days upon the year'. This they argue does not necessarily mean five epagomenal days: an alternative explanation could be found within a lunar ...
