... Bietak et al. 1994, p. 32). Most other royal name objects from Daba are acknowledged to be out of context. Another site closely related to the problem is Tell el-Ajjul in south-west Palestine, considered by many to be Sharuhen, the town to which the Hyksos moved after their defeat at Avaris. Sharuhen fell to the Egyptians a few years later and so it too was thought to have been destroyed in the 16th century, with only a small Egyptian outpost maintained there until the 19th Dynasty. A list of scarabs with royal names (Stewart 1974, p. 47) produced the surprising result that the commonest name, with scarabs from both the tell and ...
... in geophysical matters. Greek mythology and ancient geography (whose `historical' information was largely dependent on traditional lore) seem to assume that the Mediterranean was only formed within human memory, so to speak, while the Ocean had existed longer than even the gods knew. A very significant reference occurs in the passage (23b) where the Egyptian priest asserts that though the Greeks remembered only one deluge `there were many before that'. The only logical explanation of this assertion is that the traditional lore of the Greek world was concerned with experiences which befell the forefathers of the Greeks, whereas the temple archives of Sais were in the nature of international mythological records (23a) ...
903. Some Notes on the "Assuruballit Problem" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... an Assyrian governor could write to the king of Egypt on equal terms and describe himself as a "great king". 3. Shalmaneser III? A possibility that readily suggests itself is that Assuruballit was an alternative name for Shalmaneser III himself, and Assur-nadin-ahe another name for his father Assurnasirpal. The rather high-handed way in which Assuruballit's letters demand Egyptian gold might suit the character of the haughty conqueror Shalmaneser III. What evidence is there that Assyrian monarchs had alternative names, prenomens or personal names? It is often assumed that some Assyrian kings adopted different throne names when they took the throne of Babylon, Tiglath-pileser III as Pulu, Shalmaneser V as Ululaju. J. A. BRINKMAN ...
904. Intimations of an Alien Sky [Journals] [Aeon]
... was unreservedly informed that "neither he nor any other Hellene knew anything worth mentioning about times of old." (12) He was told that "there is no old opinion handed down among [the Greeks] by ancient tradition, nor any science which is hoary with age." (13) The Greeks, according to the Egyptian sages, knew "nothing of what happened in ancient times." (14) Aristotle had no reason to invent the equation of planets with gods. Having once been forgotten by his immediate, but not earlier, ancestors, he simply rediscovered this verity and sought to reaffirm it. Besides, he was not the only Greek to ...
905. In Defense Of The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... all these so-called sun-gods- Shamash, Ra, Surya, and a host of others- were personifications of the current solar orb? Besides, is not James forgetting that, according to the Assyro-Babylonians themselves, Shamash was a name for the planet Saturn? [34] Is he not forgetting that, in Ptolemaic times at least, the Egyptian Ra was identified as Kronos, which is the Greek name of the planet Saturn? [35] Is not the Indic Surya, usually identified as the Sun, also termed Suraj? And is not Suraj a name for the planet Saturn? [36] It will not do to ignore these oft-repeated data. The ithyphallic Hermes, ...
... , for the inhuman shepherd-conquerors was revived: the Jews were identified with the descendants of the Hyksos. Inaugurated by Manetho, an extensive Jew-baiting literature followed.... The Israelites endured much suffering from this distortion of history. They bore their pain for being identified with the Hyksos. The persecution started with the misstatements of Manetho, the Egyptian, whose nation was freed from the Hyksos by the Jews. In later years anti-Semitism has been fed from many other sources. [~ 10:95- 98] Manetho was an Egyptian writer, historian, polemicist, and anti-Semite, inventor of a baseless identification of Moses with Typhon, the evil spirit, and the Israelites with the ...
907. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 81, has two letters on the Oera Linda Book, which is all Greek to me. But your editorial comment, paragraph 6, on the Vanir of Norse mythology which relates Vanir to Latin venire and suggests this is akin to "Venus", rang a few bells. Etymological roots are longer lasting than the hardest stone. The Egyptian Benu bird, Ba-i-Nau, from the hieroglyphic Ba- "a leg", shewn euphemistically from the knee down - meaning "leg it", or "go"; and Nag, "presented", "present", English "the present", spelt "now"; together: "go and come" or ...

... ) etc. However his own beliefs are conclusively demonstrated' (275), irrefutably proven' (275), absolutely clear' (276), unquestionable' (276), the only consistent conclusion' (278) etc. A healthier approach might be in terms of the sensible remarks of Alan H. Gardiner, who described Egyptian history as rags and tatters' and remnants' and advised us not to clutch at a straw' [31]. (Early Greek history is in much the same condition as Egyptian history.) Peiser notes some minor signs of flurry and rapidity in the 6th/5th century, which he refers to as a synchronization of major ...
909. The Sacred Theory of the Earth by Dr. Thomas Burnet [Books]
... trace the Deluge quite round the Globe in profane history; and, which is remarkable, every one of these people have a tale to tell, some one way, some another, concerning the restauration of mankind; which is an argument that they thought all mankind destroy'd by that Deluge. In the old dispute between the Scythians and the Egyptians for antiquity, which Justin mentions, they refer to a former destruction of the World by Water or fire, and argue, whether Nation first rose again, and was original to the other. So the Babylonians, Assyrians, Phœnicians and others, mention the Deluge in their stories. and we cannot without offering violence to all records ...
910. In Search of <i>Alter Egos</i> [Journals] [SIS Review]
... began the construction of the canal to the Arabian gulf, a work afterwards completed by Darius the Persian' [9 ]. Thus, in this version of history, Xerxes, son of Darius, was separated by several generations from Sennacherib. Sweeney believes it to be wrong, and attributes that to confusion on the part of Herodotus' Egyptian informants. It is true that historians, from Manetho onwards, have raised many questions about Herodotus' account of Egyptian history. However, Herodotus visited Egypt only ten years after the end of Xerxes reign, so Sweeney's theory requires the Egyptians to have forgotten remarkably quickly that Sennacherib was an alternative name of their previous king. Regardless of ...
