... origins in an ancestral one which had already been developed somewhere prior to any of them, arguably in the environs of the Black Sea, and around the time of the Black Sea Flood'. However the Ryan Diaspora hypothesis has a huge difficulty to overcome .. . Why, between the Flood in 5600BC and the flowering proper of the Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilisation c. 3000BC, should there be no culture outside Turkey which quite unmistakably shows all the hallmarks of having inherited the precocities of a pre-Flood Çatal Hüyük? ' Wilson follows Mellaart in recognising parallels between the Minoan and the much earlier Çatal Hüyük people and in suspecting that the language of Minoan Crete was descended from whatever language ...
... 3 As Whatmore observes, in the citation at the heading of this chapter, the belief was held that the entrance to Hades lay in the British Isles. The ancients believed furthermore that the actual Hell or Hades lay in Britain, and was the Underworld to which all souls must repair for judgment. It was certainly the belief of the Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Celts. Brittany was the place of crossing because the regions of Hades lay in the west of Britain. The story Procopius tells affords a sort of sequel to the elaborate ritual practices in Egypt, whereby the souls of the departed were deemed to travel by devious route and magical ways to an Amenta in ...
863. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... assume, although it is of course possible. But, as regards using Rohl's method for deriving the date of the Trojan War from the Spartan king list, all we can say is that no date between 940 and 730 BCE should surprise us. The Jerusalem Ancient History (JAH), which continues to use Velikovsky's basic framework for the Egyptian 18th Dynasty, gives an approximate date for the Trojan War of c.780 and would mean an average Spartan reign length of slightly over 13 years, higher than four of Rohl's 14 sample dynasties. Rohl's letter gives the impression that the Spartan data supports the New Chronology revision, when it is no more than consistent with it, ...
864. A Short Biography of Immanuel Velikvosky [Journals] [SIS Review]
... life changes. Led into his study by a casual conversation with a scholar concerning the origin of the Dead Sea, Velikovsky formulated a crucial question: Was it formed in the days of the Exodus, when Mount Sinai erupted, and some debacle took place at the Sea of Passage? Was the catastrophe felt also in Egypt? Does an Egyptian document speak of a catastrophe? ' After weeks of research, he discovered the key document, a papyrus bearing the lamentations of an Egyptian sage named Ipuwer. After examining a translation by Alan H. Gardiner, a noted Egyptologist, Velikovsky concluded that the papyrus not only contained a description of a natural catastrophe, but precisely the plagues ...
865. Chapter XVIII: the Star-temples At Karnak [Books]
... Chapter XVIII The Star-temples At Karnak WHEN I began my studies of the Egyptian temples the building inscriptions referred to in the preceding chapter lay forgotten in the Egyptologist's archives. I purpose now to give some account of my work at Thebes, where I made a special study of the temples, because there is a very great number there, and many are in a fair state of preservation. These investigations convinced me that temples were oriented to stars before the inscriptions in question were known to me, although the whole temple field is so crowded with temples, each apparently blocking up the fair-way of the other, that it seems well-nigh impossible that any such process as that described in ...
866. Venus in Ancient Myth and Language [Journals] [Aeon]
... celebrated Mother Goddess can hardly be separated from the recent history of the planet Venus. It is a curious fact, one little noticed by the scholarly community as a whole, that the vast majority of the world's great goddesses were identified with the planet Venus. This is the case with the Sumerian Inanna, Babylonian Ishtar, Canaanite Astarte, Egyptian Isis, and Greek Aphrodite, for example. (1 ) Following the lead of Immanuel Velikovsky, who, in Worlds in Collision, proposed that the planet Venus had recently assumed a comet-like orbit, Talbott and I attempted to reconstruct the history of this most unusual "comet." (2 ) We found a consistent connection of ...
867. "Cenocatastrophism" [Articles]
... inevitably to ask how much can be securely known about the chronology of the culture that did the reinterpreting, and hence to enter the realm of the second type of cenocatastrophism, which I have called "historical". Here too it has to be admitted that Velikovsky was compelled, in his own words, to "borrow credence" about Egyptian chronology, and that the process of consolidating that credence has turned out to be far more arduous than even he could have guessed. Worlds in Collision and the Ages in Chaos series dismantle the structure of Egyptian chronology erected in the late l9th century, but leave intact the Mesopotamian chronology erected in the same period and an early Hebrew chronology ...
868. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Avaris would have an explanation. Notice that the Avarians are supposed to come from the region north of the Caucasus, where connections with the Middle East existed for millennia, so information on how to go to Egypt was certainly available. Unfortunately, the 12 languages I have studied to different degrees of proficiency do not include Semitic languages or ancient Egyptian. However Hyk may be related to the Berberian word Ikk, also available in Guanche, which means clan, people. Does there exist a word with similar meaning in ancient Egyptian? Ikk was also the name of a tribe, still thriving in the 1950s but now probably extinct, which lived on a sacred mountain in the border ...
869. An Eighth-Century Date for Merenptah [Journals] [SIS Review]
... wrong determinative. Even so, there is no reason to claim that a non-sedentary Israel is indicated by the stele; it should be remembered that until modern times the name "Israel" was primarily that of a people, and it may well be that the stele's choice of determinative reflects an appreciation of that usage on the part of the Egyptian scribes [7 ]. Given that the stele refers to Israel existing in Palestine in Merenptah's day, and possibly as a settled nation, does it actually record a clash between Israel and the Egyptian troops? This is another issue over which opinion is divided. In Wilson's view: "The appearance of Israel in an Asiatic context is ...
870. Abraham to Hezekiah: An Archaeological Revision Part II [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... revision defended in these pages, which places the beginning of the Late Bronze IB period near the middle of the 18th dynasty and about 50 years after the death of Solomon. This is a reasonable length of time after the 18th dynasty conquest of Palestine (see below) for scarabs to find their way into Palestinian Strata. 5. The Egyptian Conquest Upon the death of Solomon things went downhill quickly for the Jewish empire. Internal strife split the nation into two rival states- the southern kingdom of Judah ruled by Solomon's son, Rehoboam, and the northern kingdom of Israel ruled by Jeroboam. The ability to maintain a foreign empire must have vanished almost overnight in the wake of ...
