... conception, reflected in the mythologies of many lands, holds that the ancient sun-god was also ruler of the netherworld. The Babylonian Shamash, for example, was worshipped as regent of the underworld and king of the shades. (26) Significantly, Shamash was also identified with the planet Saturn. (27) Similar ideas also surrounded the Egyptian Ra, who, like the Greek Kronos, presided over a paradisal celestial field where the spirits of the dead were wont to reside. (28) This brief survey suggests that Helios and Hades were related if not actually one and the same ancient figure. Indeed, Classical scholars have long recognized the essential equivalence of Helios and Hades ...
922. The Hyksos Were Not Assyrians [Journals] [Aeon]
... period, we do not have a picture of continued Assyrian occupation in Egypt, but of occasional Assyrian invasions to do battle with their enemies of the 25th Ethiopian dynasty. In between these two powers, local, scattered princes held precarious sway. This is a far cry from the settled period of Hyksos control, with their use of the Egyptian fellahs as slave labor to build their great fortresses. 3) The comment about sterile layers is also bizarre. One would not expect to find great levels of earth between earlier and late buildings on the same site, however much time intervened between them, even when leveling was not taken to bedrock, since rubble from preceding buildings would ...
923. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... cause loss of hair, as recent news pictures have shown: it may also have been hunger, a condition from which the upper classes would be immune, that was responsible for this state of affairs.) (2 ) "Men are few": just as "brother" means rather "fellow-man", "men" in Egyptian specifically excludes foreigners: even despite the second half of this quote, we might still justifiably be reminded of the phrase heard in some of our own inner cities: "you hardly see a white face anywhere!" Cf., two lines on (3 :1-2): "Indeed, the desert is throughout the land, ...
924. Aeon Volume I, Number 6: Contents [Journals] [Aeon]
... and chronological questions. His conclusion: On certain issues, Velikovsky's hidden agenda got in the way of objective research. PAGE 49 The Stratigraphy of Bahrein: An Answer to Critics Does the stratigraphy of Bahrein provide the evidence for the conventional sequence of civilizations that some have claimed? Gunnar Heinsohn takes a closer look at this assumption. PAGE 56 Egyptian Chronology and the Hyksos Following up on his survey of the land of Israel, Heinsohn offers a preliminary interpretation of the Hyksos Egyptian chronology, identifying as Assyrians. PAGE 65 The Two Sargons and Their Successors Part Two of a critical analysis of Heinsohn's reconstruction, by Dwardu Cardona, taking up such issues as royal tombs and Heinsohn's identification of ...
925. Thoth Vol III, No. 18: Dec 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... the texts always reverse the direction expected by the solar interpretation. More than that, when sailing in his ship, or boat, Ra is said to move down at dawn, and upstream' at night contrary to what we see the Sun doing in our sky. How, then, can mythologists continue to perpetuate the lie that the Egyptian Ra was a personification of the Sun? CARDONA CONTINUES: THE POLAR STATION But hold on - someone may have already noticed. If, as the model assumes, Saturn appeared motionless in the earth's north celestial sphere, how could it have been seen to rise and set, even if contrary to the way the Sun does? This ...
926. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... OUP, 1981 and Margaret Deanesly, A History of Early Medieval Europe, Methuen 1956. Plagiarism in advance?I am outraged! Another journal has been publishing my ideas, and to make matters worse, they were published before I had even thought of them! I refer to my 1990 article Solomon, the Exodus and Abraham Related to Egyptian Chronology' [1 ] wherein I outlined a sort of Grand Unified Theory incorporating the New Chronology's placement of Solomon contemporary with Ramesses II, Courville's Exodus and Conquest positions at the end of the Old Kingdom and end of the Early Bronze Age respectively [2 ], and an early placement of Abraham at or just before the beginning of ...
927. The habiru as the 'ibrim of I Samuel and the implications for the 'new chronology' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in Syro-Palestine. As this literary extension of the traditional appellative remains absent from the extensive list of references to the habiru which post-date the Amarna Letters (including references from Egypt, Ugarit, Hatti and Assyria), it is difficult to believe as Gottwald, Weippert and Na'aman have it that this use of the term was passed on from the Egyptians to the Philistines who, according to Albrecht Alt [6 ], inherited the former's hegemony over Palestine, and hence it would not be surprising to find the Philistines apply the same term to the Israelite rebels in the interior during the 11th century BC. Although this is theoretically possible, my own research of the relevant textual evidence has ...
928. EBLA -- A New Look at History (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... at least with respect to southern Anatolia and northern Mesopotamia several centuries later. The scope of Ebla's activities appear even grander despite the limitations that uncertain identifications place upon the precise details of the interpretation. Through the archaeological remains of Chephren and Pepi I it is clear that Egypt was known by the Eblaites. However, Ebla is not mentioned in Egyptian sources and we are uncertain with respect to the term the Eblaites used for Egypt (Pettinato believes that the term is DUKI DUKI which may mean "Two Lands" p. 155). But if the exact connections with Egypt is unknown slightly more precision can be claimed for its connections with Mesopotamia p. 30-37. Dating the Archives ...

... the best discussion of length of year changes in a Velikovskian context. However, centrifugal flooding invalidates their Table 1 which posits a change in day length from 27.5 to 24 hours when the year is said to have changed from 360 to 365 ¼ days. C. LEROY ELLENBERGER Senior Editor and Executive Secretary, Kronos Where are the Egyptian 8th-century Disasters?Sir, I am glad to see that Claude Schaeffer's work has come into its own with Geoffrey Gammon's article in SISR IV :4 . It is one of only several general studies of value in cultural quantavolution. Gammon approached two points that he might have developed more fully. First, the best benchmarks of past ages ...
930. Jerusalem -- City of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... ] as a bright torch of heaven, ' [and] "as a diamond that illuminates like the sun, ' and compared its light with the light of the rising sun." . . .( 35a) Comparable descriptions of Venus also appear in the records of the Hebrews, Mexicans, Chinese, Hindus, Assyrians, and Egyptians. In his discussion of the gods of Canaan, Albright equated Ba'alshamem with Athtar. The former was viewed as "neither the moon nor the sun, but a god who was above both. This god was presumably the same as the South-Arabic Dhu-samawi, Lord of Heaven', properly Athtar, god of Venus-in-the-Morning, and thus equivalent ...
