... From: Kronos Vol. XI No. 2 (Winter 1986) Home | Issue Contents El-Arish Revisited Sean Mewhinney Late in the last century an unimposing shrine of Ptolemaic times was found at el-Arish, overturned to serve as a cattle-trough. The inscription had suffered accordingly, but some 74 lines yet remained. In this text Velikovsky saw a parallel Egyptian account of Exodus, confirming the plague of darkness and the miraculous parting of the Sea of Passage. He believed that useful historical information could be elicited from it, by means of which the pharaoh of the Exodus and the route taken by the fleeing Israelites might be identified. MY interest was aroused in the el-Arish inscription because, in ...
282. Some Preliminary Remarks About Thera and Atlantis [Journals] [Kronos]
... to a tiny one; physically transport it from the Atlantic Ocean to the East Mediterranean; change its mode of destruction from quake and flood to massive volcanic explosion; divide the 9,000 years by 10 without any textual justification and despite its "ring of truth" (not as real history but as the very type of thing that Egyptians of that day told the Greeks),(4 ) then, still subtract 500 years from this figure to fit the revised chronology; and explain why an island which is and always has been perfectly visible, and which, in the 6th century B.C ., supported a vigorous population of seafarers was said to be totally ...
283. Some Detailed Evidence from Egypt Against Velikovsky's Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... collected and discussed, as well as its scattered locations. They also show the author's need to be able to assess the validity of the excavators' reports, to examine texts in their original versions, and to draw on a wider knowledge of other material which is already published and relevant to his research. In examining Dr Velikovsky's suggestions concerning Egyptian chronology it is important to apply these procedures throughout, and test his proposals in the light of all we know about the periods he discusses. Domestic architecture is rare among the archaeological discoveries of Egypt. The rising water table of the Nile has caused the flood plain to widen over the years so that all traces of habitation along the ...

... events, renamed "Red" also, such as Edom (red), Erythrea (erythraios-red in Greek), and Haemus. The fish did not fare any better in this pre-industrial pollution. The fish died, decomposed and smelled just as today. "And the river stank", said the Israelites .4 "And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river." 5 The Egyptians agreed with the Israelites when they wrote: "Men shrink from tasting; human beings thirst after water," and "That is our water! That is our happiness! What shall we do ...
285. Editorial [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that soon collapses under scientific scrutiny, Velikovsky developed an entirely new scheme, using Biblical chronology as his yardstick. The flaws in the conventional chronology that he pointed to still remain. Velikovsky found a parallel to the Biblical account of the "plagues" that beset Egypt before the Israelite Exodus in the papyrus known as the "Admonitions of an Egyptian Sage", and dated both to the end of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom. (See R. M. Lowery: "Dating the Admonitions", in this issue.) The conventional scheme has no comparable literary evidence to offer, while Biblical scholars still face the difficult problem of reconciling the Hebrew accounts of the Exodus and Conquest ...

... , as well as "Tishtriya," the arrow from Ancient Iranit is shot from a bow built up by stars of Argo and Canis Major (Sumerian: mulBAN). The very same bow is to be found in the Chinese sphere , but there the arrow is shorter and aims at Sirius, the celestial Jackal, whereas the same Egyptian arrow is aimed at the star on the head of the Sothis Cow, as depicted in the so-called "Round Zodiac" of Dendera Sirius again. In India, Sirius is the archer himself (Tishiya), and his arrow is represented by the stars of Orion's Belt. And about all of them manifold legends are told. Thus ...

It demands no stretch of the imagination to place in the same category the long Egyptian column of the Harris papyrus "which commences in the upper and in the lower heavens,"11 and that too which the Peremhru (Book of the Dead) calls "the spine of the Earth." The Tlinkeet Indians on the N. W. coast of America say the earth rests on a Pillar.12 The above ...

From: SIS Internet Digest 1999:1 (Apr 1999) Home | Issue Contents Sequence and events From: bb089@scn.org (James Conway) Date: Thu, 25 Feb 1999 18:26:35 -0800 (PST) Henry Zecher: If Velikovsky identified a Middle Kingdom Egyptian with Joseph, Donovan Courville also identified one. Perhaps it was the same one. Clark Whelton: Velikovsky has the so-called "Middle Kingdom" (the Egyptians did not use such terminology) ending with the first Venus catastrophe ca. -1450. James Conway: The Middle Kingdom ends with the 12th dynasty or the first half of the 18th century BCE. Joseph lived and worked ...
