Catastrophism: Man, Myth and Mayhem in Ancient History and the Sciences

... as Shishak would have had to reign for some 40 years" to have been king before Solomon's 10th year as well as in Rehoboam's 5th year. They disqualify Thutmose III on the grounds that his "sole reign" lasted only 33 years. This strikes me as either blind or dishonest. Rohl & James must surely be aware of the Egyptian habit of including co-regency years in their regnal records. Thutmose III's reign, including his co-regency with Hatshepsut, totalled 54 years according to the monuments; long enough to cover the required span. Rohl & James also accuse Hatshepsut of suppressing Thutmose III. A "simple calculation" will show that Thutmose was much younger than his female co-regent ...

... is Sksk h'rw (kharu). Here is the actual name Sksk applied to one of the Thutmosids. As Thutmose III was the greatest of all conquerors, it would be only natural that this would be his appellation - Shishak being the local pronunciation - and that it would be passed on to his successors. In Faulkner's Dictionary of Middle Egyptian , I find that Swsh - close enough to the cuneiform transliteration is "extend" boundaries. A further point to strengthen the identification is that in the Encyclopaedia Judaica , under the entry "Shishak", we read that "in the Aggada, Shishak's real name is said to be Zevuv (fly)".

255. A Re-examination of the Sothic Chronology of Egypt [Journals] [Kronos]

... 261-274. For many years now we have accepted and incorporated the astronomical chronology of Egypt into our histories of the ancient Near East. It is wise, however, to be aware of the potential error in the interpretations and conclusions of the past and the possibility that realignment may be necessary. We still do not possess a final and unquestionable Egyptian Sothic dated historical framework. Recently, Read challenged the traditionally held astronomical chronology of the Eighteenth Dynasty (JNES 29 [1970] ). A re-examination of the evidence is in order before our conception of an absolutely established and near perfect chronology influences our judgment of different possibilities. Certain ambiguous and problematic issues, the solutions of which are ...

256. A Brief Summary of the Evidence for a Gap in the Bible and Much Earlier Dates for Many of its Major Events [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]

... to Solomon must refer to this late period? At no time around 1700 B.C . is there any known vizier in Egypt remotely corresponding to Joseph. Between 1400 and 1200 B.C . there is no record of any event in Egypt which might have been the source of the Hebrew account of the plagues. Nor did the Egyptians record the departure of any part of the population. It may not be surprising that there is no trace of this same group in the wilderness of the Negeb, but it is positively alarming that there is no archaeological evidence to support the Hebrew account of the invasion and conquest of the land of Canaan- burning and destroying towns there ...

... This absence of invention forces us to ask: what unknown ancient experience could have produced the massive story content of myth, including hundreds of underlying patterns that have lasted for thousands of years? 4. All myths are associated with "the age of the gods." Now what do you think that people meant by that expression? The Egyptians called the lost epoch "the age of the primeval gods"- which began with the Tep Zepi, the First Time or Golden Age of Ra. The age of the gods was not only dramatically different from the present age, it represented for all ancient nations a preferred order, a standard and reference for all later activity. ...

... no doubt a few other (deified) geographical features had a place in the sky. On the other hand the Typhon story is manifestly terrestrial in many ways (as Bob Forrest has argued) - Typhon is conceived in/under the Earth, ravages the Earth, lies imprisoned in/under the Earth; and the ultimate source in Egyptian myth (Typhon = Setekh) very clearly involves the earthly Nile flowing through the real Egypt. The point Ellenberger tackles is my objection to the relocation of the Atlantis story in the sky - together, presumably, with a celestial Greece (inhabited), Pillars of Hercules, Mediterranean, Atlantic (complete with impassable mud-banks).. ...

I am speaking of the Mesoamericans, particularly the Maya and Aztec. I will not be discussing actual physical contact between ancient Egypt and Mesoamerica, and definitely not some kind of spiritual or extra-sensory connection. Although sympathetic to a degree, I'll leave that to the lovers of mysticism and ...

Thus, the history of the first millennium, which is known solely through the Classical and Hellenistic writers, was dated according to these sources. The history of the second millennium, however, was supplied by cross-referencing with Egyptian hieroglyphic material, and this chronology is based solely on these sources, which are dated according to Borchart's pseudo-astronomical "Sothic" calendar. The final part of the triplication, the ghost kingdoms of the third millennium, were supplied by cross-referencing with Mesopotamian cuneiform documents, and this chronology is based solely on these sources, which are ultimately dated ...
