... Sunday 20th March, at 16 Oman Avenue, London NW2. Ten members were present and sincere thanks are due to Ruth and David Roth for their hospitality. Discussion was centred mainly on the recent articles in SIS Workshop 5:1 by K. A. Le Flem, David Rohl and Peter van der Veen about the confused period of Egyptian history at the end of the Nineteenth Dynasty, involving Sethos II, Siptah, Amenmesse and Tawosret. In discussion, David Rohl argued strongly in favour of making use of, and subjecting to critical scrutiny, traditional accounts of Egyptian history preserved in later sources, such as Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, Manetho and Josephus. There appeared to ...
852. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... such experiments are now available.* The experimental overlay of the Greek and Hebrew genealogies claimed little more concerning nationalities than the various traditions allowed: Io was connected to Greece, India and Syria; Epaphus to Syria; Lybya to Libya; Agenor to Phoenicia; His sons to the Levant; Cadmus to Egypt and Greece; Belus to the Egyptian Delta; Danaus to Libya, the Delta and Greece; Aegyptos to the Delta and a large oriental empire; Feniusa Farsa to Egypt, The Sinai (? ), Philistia and the north. My presentation of them was comparative with the speculative interpretation suggesting common Levantine/Egyptian origins for the myths rather than making declarations of national origins ...
853. Shishak, the kings of Judah and some synchronisms [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Kings appears to be primarily a history of Israel but there are endless cross-references between the two and they often present slightly differing accounts of particular incidents. Note also that almost all biblical incidents are recorded in the form in Year X of king Y' and that this was indeed almost the only system of dating available in Old Testament times. Egyptian chronology is partly in such a generally unsatisfactory state because Manetho's list of kings and reign lengths is such a very weak one from which to start. The biblical chronology, especially that of the kings of Judah, even if not entirely reliable, offers a more secure base. Correcting mistakes' in either the biblical or the Manethoan chronology ...
854. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... substantial group at Oman Avenue on January 28th to hear a presentation from Jim of his researches into problems of Hebrew Chronology, particularly in reference to an extended reign for Hezekiah. Charts were provided, for members present, to show data from biblical and other sources, events historically linked to Hezekiah's period, and synchronisms with Babylonian, Assyrian and Egyptian history. As the subject of biblical chronology is a special interest of several of our members, a lively discussion following the presentation was assured. Two weeks later, on 11th February, we met again at David Roth's house. Wayne A. Mitchell had flown over from New Jersey to present a paper on Re-examining the Ugaritic and Hittite ...

... on earth. The theater in which the great mythical events were first played out was the sky. Here is an indisputable fact: If you will trace the claimed history of any ancient nation backwards, you will, in every instance, reach a point at which man lives in the shadow of the gods. This distant epoch- what the Egyptians called the "time of the primeval gods" --cries out for clarification. Originally, the gods rule the world. First in an age of gold, but this age is followed by catastrophe and cosmic disharmony. That is the archetypal memory repeated around the world. In their earliest historical expressions, the gods are celestial through and through ...
857. On Dating the Trojan War [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... estimate of a generation, and why does he generally prefer the higher, less plausible figure? The only occasion when he explicitly allows 33 years per generation is when he is discussing the enormous length of Egypt's history (just before the reference to Heracles). Apparently he supposed that the Greeks, before having children, lived longer than the Egyptians, a supposition that had the advantage of reducing, at least by a little, the disparity between the two histories. For, somewhat to their disappointment, the Greeks could trace their nation back only 25 generations, to Hellen son of Deucalion, whereas the Egyptians, he discovered, could trace theirs back more than 341 generations - ...
858. Assyrians, Sodom, and Red Herrings [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... literature over the past five years has several valid challenges to this view. (4 ) Sanders' dates for the beginning and end of the archaeological periods appear to be unsubstantiated and whimsical, unattached to any convincing reasoning or theme. (5 ) The argument that Ramses III was Shishak appears bizarre. If we are to look for an Egyptian pharaoh who brought home enormous plunder and wealth, Velikovsky's splendid Thutmose III identification remains the most compelling. Nor is there any mystery as to where Ramses III got his booty- he took it from the Sea Peoples. In a private communication Sanders argued against my own Third Intermediate Period revision by claiming that to fit in the 13 generations ...
859. Stephen J. Gould And Immanuel Velikovsky: Essays In The Continuing Velikovsky Affair [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . Mulholland claimed that the length of the day, month and year were just the same as in ancient times as they are now; but this is either just to ignore all the measurements listed in Worlds in Collision, or to imply that they were grossly (yet remarkably consistently) wrong, making the ancient Chinese, Babylonians, and Egyptians all incompetent in ways which we have other grounds for thinking that they were not. Carl Sagan raised so many points against Velikovsky that it took Charles Ginenthal eight years to research them, and to show, in a fat book, Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky, (New Falcon Publ. 1995), that they were groundless or ...
860. The Valley of Colours [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a useful lightener-upper' for other colours. The splendid tomb of Rekhmire has hundreds of small figures painted on the walls representing workers, entertainers, visitors and members of the family all engaged in their activities and all are dressed in white garments. However, all this white must have been obtained from a more productive source. Note: Ancient Egyptians are said to have discovered the dazzling ' White Lead'. Blue or greenish blue was a somewhat complicated colour to make and its ingredients were very precious on the newly discovered site but one small lump was found. Egyptologists have always said blue was made from ground-up Lapis lazuli'. This is a most incorrect statement. A few ...
