... Sun and the Earth each time it overtakes the latter. An inferior conjunction occurs when Venus is on a straight line between the Sun and the Earth. And the time between two successive inferior conjunctions Is 584 days (to the nearest integer), which is called the synodic period. Using a 365-day year (as did the Mayans and Egyptians), five circlings of Venus is very nearly equal to eight Earth years, since 5 x 584 = 8 x 365 = 2920 days. Venus is not visible at the time conjunctions occur, but her first appearance as a Morning Star (heliacal rising) occurs within a few days after inferior conjunction, indicating completion of a synodic ...

263. Assessing Middle Kingdom Lunar Dates [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Dating the End of the Middle Kingdom of Ancient Egypt to the Early Second Millennium: A Reassessment',JNES 53:4 (1994), pp. 237-261 In his reassessment of the astronomical evidence for dating Egypt's Middle Kingdom, Professor Rose is primarily concerned with re-evaluating Richard A. Parker's use of lunar documents from the time of the Egyptian 12th Dynasty in support of his El-Lahun (Illahun) Sothic' date of 1872 BC for Year 7 of Sesostris III. Rose has selected Parker because it is the latter's Sothic' date, based upon Borchardt's identification of the unnamed pharaoh of the Illahun Papyrus as Sesostris III, that is the one largely accepted today. As a result ...
264. On Language, Art, And Religion. Part I Ch.4 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... Religion Semitic Influence on the Language and Religion of Egypt FOR OVER two hundred years after the fall of Jerusalem there existed a Jewish colony in Egypt. The influence of the Hebrew-Syrian language, conspicuous in the sixth century, must have become prominent in the time of Ramses III. This is indeed the case. In many instances Semitic words displaced Egyptian words, and the scribes of Ramses III "often abandoned a perfectly good Egyptian word" in favour of a Hebrew equivalent. In the inscriptions of Medinet Habu-to take one example at random-the Semitic word barekh, "to bless", is used instead of the corresponding Egyptian word.[1 ] "The Medinet Habu texts are extreme ...
265. A Reading of the Pyramid Texts [Journals] [Pensee]
... set of catastrophic myths, those found in the Pyramid Texts of Old Kingdom Egypt, to ground these generalities. Egypt is one of the most conservative and unified civilizations known. In my view it was also, in its early phases, among the least riven by the split between matter and spirit which is now our danger. For the Egyptians astronomy, the precise notation of heavenly movements, was inseparable from mythology, the theory of divine motivations, for the simple reason that all heavenly bodies were divine. And mythology was equally inseparable from historiography, the precise notation of human actions, for the simple reason that all memorable human actions had divine imperatives. This unity of thought ...
266. Some Additional Evidence from the Period from the Exodus to the End of the Eighteenth Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a historical period in a country of advanced culture could not but leave a memory in historical documents. Thus Schaeffer missed drawing the proper conclusions for the synchronisation of the histories of Egypt and Israel, with all the ramifications and consequences for the history of the Near and Middle East. The Ipuwer papyrus (known also as "Admonitions of an Egyptian Sage") was recognised by me as a script of lament at the sight of an overwhelming natural catastrophe followed by the invasion of Amu-Hyksos and by a social upheaval, I also contended that the text was composed in the beginning of the Second Intermediate Period. At the time Ages in Chaos (Volume I) was printed, the ...

... artifacts: then Egyptianised Canaanites' with pottery and bronzes like those in the governor's palace at site F, i.e . town dwellers sharing the governor's life-style; then a layer of ash. The next stratum shows dense Canaanite occupation in small 2-roomed houses: they must have proliferated, but their humble abodes suggest slave workers; with some Egyptians, possibly foremen, living there too. Enamel from human teeth towards the top of the stratum shows malnutrition was rife; and female adult skeletons outnumber males in the extraordinary ratio of 14:10 (infant skeletons cannot be sexed) – suggesting that a proportion of young males were being killed. The top of the stratum has multiple ...
268. Herakles and Velikovskian Catastrophism [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History II:2 (Jun 1980) Home | Issue Contents Herakles and Velikovskian Catastrophism Arie Dirkzwager During one of his travels the Greek Herakles (Hercules) met Busiris, an Egyptian king, who used to put strangers to death on sacrificial pyres. Thanks to his enormous strength Herakles managed to strangle the pharaoh and escape. Busiris is said to have been a grandson of Epaphus.1 Considering possible identifications for Epaphus we find, of course, Apop. Now there were two or three Hyksos kings of that name, as we know from the works of Velikovsky and others. One must have reigned at the beginning of the Hyksos period and one ...
269. Metallurgy and Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... so that pottery of different kinds is labeled in terms of metal periods, e.g ., ceramics of Late Bronze Ia or Early Iron IIb, and so on. We have already seen the confusion that underlies the division of ceramic ages. Here we intend to examine briefly the metal ages and their bearing on chronology. By bringing Egyptian history six or seven centuries closer to our time, do we not cause a displacement of the metal ages? A sailing vessel takes only two or three days to bring cargo from Egypt to Palestine; the desert road was traversed by Thutmose III with his army in nine days. One would expect that conventional chronology took into consideration the ...
