... . Much of this medieval literature was based on the Greek alchemists who wrote during the first through seventh centuries, when a transformation was taking place to give the practical arts a more philosophical basis in an attempt to rationalize the inchoate discipline of chemistry.(4 ) But even this early effort was based on the antedated work of more ancient Egyptian and later Creek metallurgists, who were more practical-minded, yet not without their own version of mysticism. About the year 290 a decree of Emperor Diocletian ordered the destruction of all manuscripts on the alchemical arts, to forestall any attempts to amass a huge fortune by any adept who could change base minerals into gold or silver, and thence ...
882. Untitled [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2001:1 (Jun 2001) Home | Issue Contents Editorial Conferences Galore Conference Call for Papers: Ages Still in Chaos: How unreliable is Egyptian Ancient History? (Working title) The next SIS conference is confirmed for the weekend of 13 -15 Sept 2002, and the venue is likely to be either London or Oxford. It's been over 20 years since the last SIS conference devoted to chronology in Glasgow, and there have been many new viewpoints since then (see "Ancient History Revisions the Last 25 years - a Perspective" by John Crowe in SIS C&C Review 2000, updated and expanded at http://www. ...

884. Nebuchadrezzar and Neriglissar [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . That Neriglissar reigned before Nebuchadrezzar is refuted by the contract tablets and his "evidence" from the building inscriptions originates in misinterpretations and misunderstandings of these texts. This does not mean that Velikovsky's latest book should be rejected altogether. In it he has brought together an enormous mass of evidence which convincingly demonstrates that the chronologies of the Hittite and Egyptian empires are in error and should be reduced by several hundred years. This is the lasting value of his book and another important contribution to his re-evaluation of the history of the ancient world. From this foundation others must continue his research.

885. Tutankhamen and Assyrian Art [Articles]
... a much closer proximity to Greek Archaic sculpture for example which would allow the kind of universal parallel consideration that I presented to you." Question: "What is your thesis of the lions?" Lewis Greenberg: "I would say that the art of the Greek mainland, what is called Mycenaean Art, which is presently dated by Egyptian chronology to around 1300 BC, and Egyptian art, likewise dated in the 1300s and the 1200s, actually has been misdated and on the basis of other material, as presented by Dr. Velikovsky and others, should be brought down 500 - 600 years. As a result, one sees universal parallels with the art of Assyria where ...
886. The Background to 'Ramses II and His Time' [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Workshop No. 1 (Mar 1978) Home | Issue Contents The Background to Ramses II and His Time'Geoffrey Gammon As the third volume of Immanuel Velikovsky's revision of the ancient history of the Near East is to be published in Spring1978, SIS members may find it useful to have a brief outline of the generally accepted views about the Egyptian XIXth and XXVIth Dynasties and their contemporaries in Western Asia. Egypt Although there are differing views about precise dates (the accession of Ramses II being placed variously in 1304, 1290 and 1279 BC), it is generally accepted that Dynasty XIX succeeded Dynasty XVIII around 1320-1300 BC, and that its duration was about 110-120 years and that it ...

... drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem." (Italics mine.) In a much different context natives of Hawaii remember the warrior Paopele, who wields the club Keolewa, so great that it "reaches up to the clouds of heaven."(21) But in both cases an apparent protoype will be found in early Egyptian hieroglyphs and texts, where such figures as Shu, Horus, Sept, Anubis- born as heroes, servants, messengers or regents of the sun god- are represented with or as celestial swords, staffs or sceptres joining heaven and earth. With his heaven-reaching sword or knife, Shu "opened the mouth of the gods," ...
888. The Celestial Dynamics of "Worlds in Collision" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... being turned upside down around 2300 BC. I haven't studied this enough to know what significance to place on these ancient observations or on the accuracy of his interpretation of the data, but I am impressed with the observations he has collected - he's got ancient Chinese, ancient Hindu, Eratosthenes, Hipparchus, Arab observations, and two more speculative Egyptian observations from Karnak - which show a striking departure in the obliquity of the Earth's axis of rotation from the uniformitarian assumptions. Simplified version of Dodwell's chart showing how observed values for the obliquity of the ecliptic (solid line) appear to diverge from theoretical values determined according to the accepted formula devised by Newcomb (broken line), suggesting ...
889. Scarabs and Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. IX No. 2 (Winter 1984) Home | Issue Contents Scarabs And Chronology Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright 1984 by the Estate of Elisheva Velikovsky To realize the state of affairs in Egyptian and Palestinian archaeology, the following observation of C. C. McCown, who dug in Tell en-Nasbeh,(1 ) is worth considering; it is also symptomatic of all other places in Egypt and Palestine, and sounds very familiar to a reader of archaeological reports: "The scarabs and scaraboids [found in the place] are unanimously dated from the 18th Dynasty or later. Since, as all the ceramic evidence clearly indicates, Tell en-Nasbeh was not occupied until after ...
890. Stargazers & Gravediggers by Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [Kronos]
... thereafter, in a casual conversation, Velikovsky began to speculate on the origin of the Dead Sea in Palestine and, consequently, whether some sort of natural catastrophe had created it. If so, he also wondered whether a catastrophe had been instrumental in the events of the Exodus. A test of that idea would be whether there existed any Egyptian sources that portrayed comparable events. Quickly he found a source - the papyrus Ipuwer - which seemed to echo the Biblical account, even that most colorful detail in Exodus relating that the river turned to blood. It soon became clear that a possible independent eye-witness report of the Exodus existed; further, that phenomenon could be correlated - thanks ...
