... 2000:1 (May 2000) Home | Issue Contents What's Opera Doc?Glass discusses opera at MFA Philip Glass, lecturing at the Museum of Fine Arts, December 4. A well-filled auditorium at the Museum of Fine Arts last Wednesday heard composer Philip Glass comment on his operas, Akhnaten in particular. The theme of the latter being Egyptian, it was left to the Museum's curator for Egyptian art to introduce Glass- as the main composer since Verdi to gather inspiration around the Nile. The evening did not quite come up to expectations. Contact with Akhnaten's actual performance consisted of some ten slides and no more than a few minutes of taped music, and Glass's high-speed oral ...
312. Cosmic Catastrophism [Journals] [Aeon]
... Velikovsky was a medical doctor (with a specialty in psychoanalysis) who also read very widely in the natural sciences, history, and law. In the spring of 1940, while studying the biblical account of the Exodus, he became convinced that some natural upheaval had occurred at the time of Moses and that it should have been noted by Egyptian authors as well as in the texts, myths, epics, and folklore of other ancient peoples. So, over the next few years he searched the records of one ancient nation after another locating what he thought to be references to the same catastrophic events described in the Bible. (5 ) The results of Velikovsky's research were published ...
313. The Saturn Thesis (Part 3) [Journals] [Aeon]
... funda-mental meanings to determine if the extraordinarily specific predictions of the model are confirmed. Both the recorded form of the "sun" pictographs and the role of the three named planets in constituting the celestial form are crucial here. In the mid-to-late eighties, in addition to many other threads of research, I began examining as rigorously as possible the Egyptian pictograph of Ra in relation to key Egyptian images. I'd like to take a moment to follow the reasoning in terms of the actual evolution of my own conclusions, because my reasoning from some fairly complex considerations actually led to a precise prediction that was quickly confirmed in sources outside of Egypt. As often occurs, the confirmations can be ...
314. Review: Act of God, by Graham Phillips [Journals] [SIS Review]
... but reference points are not numbered in the text. Instead, if you want more information, you simply look up the relevant page number at the back and hope the point you are interested in is the subject of a further reference. His conclusion, after much research, discussion and speculation, is that tomb KV55, unlike all other Egyptian tombs, was designed not to keep robbers out but to keep a malevolent spirit trapped inside. To find out how and why this came about, read on. Summary of the Story The book starts with a good detailed account of the discovery of KV55 and the problem of identifying the mummy. Well over half the book is concerned ...
315. Epilogue to Ramessides, Medes and Persians [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... 1999) dealt with events chronologically subsequent to those in The Genesis of Israel and Egypt. Here the reader saw that Egypt's Pyramid Age occurred after the catastrophic disturbances which marked the Israelite Exodus, an event which brought to an end the Early Dynastic epoch. In The Pyramid Age too we found that the Assyrian conquest of Egypt, which the Egyptians recalled as the invasion of the Hyksos, occurred early in the 8th century BC, and was accomplished by a king known to history as Sargon I, founder of the Akkadian (or Old Assyrian) Empire. Sargon (or Sharek, as the Egyptians remembered him) easily overthrew the Egyptian army because he employed weaponry far in advance ...

317. Planet of the Greeks by Meres J. Weche (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... language the aims and pitfalls of historiography and a revised chronology. Weche pays tribute to past and present researchers and revisers, especially Velikovsky and Diop, also Peter James and David Rohl, Bernal, Ginenthal, Heinsohn, Peiser, Cochran, Whelton etc. He questions the basis for believing entirely any source, be it Biblical, Greek, Egyptian, written on papyrus or inscribed in stone. He reintroduces African and Asian origins of what later became Western civilisation. Still in the introduction, he states that the first chronology needing revision is the Egyptian. Then he lists 7 myths which have plagued one-world scholarship. 1. Uniformitarianism Hutton-Lyall-Darwin. Venus played a role similar to, but ...
318. The Nature of the Historical Record [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . The literary part of this heritage comprised the Old and New Testaments and enough of the works of the most important Greek and Latin authors to provide at least an outline, and sometimes even more, of the history of the ancient world from the Greek struggle for independence against the Persians early in the fifth century BC. Unfortunately, the Egyptian, Assyrian and Babylonian sources for the period before the fifth century were lost as the languages in which they were written fell first into disuse, then into oblivion, as Greek and Latin became the common means of communication among civilised men in the hellenised Roman Empire. Much of the cultural heritage of these peoples was translated into Greek and ...

... authorities as J. GARSTANG (excavator of Jericho), ROBERT H. PFEIFFER (Chmn., Dept. of Semitic Languages, Harvard) and ETIENNE DRIOTON (Director, Dept. of Antiquities Cairo; Chief Curator, Louvre). Velikovsky's first historical work, "Ages in Chaos" (1952), proposed a complete revision of Egyptian history, beginning with a lowering of the date for the end of the Middle Kingdom (XIIIth Dynasty) to the Biblical dating of the Exodus (c . 1450 BC), placing the Hyksos period contemporary with the time of the Judges and the XVIIIth Dynasty coeval with the United and early Divided Monarchies of Israel (c . 1020-820 ...
320. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is also very clear. The ruins must be very old to have been covered by the Dead Sea's waters. Does anyone know anything about this or can shed any light on its history? Laurence Dixon, Bengeo, Hertford Third Intermediate Period - a New Proposal I would like to make a preliminary proposal for a new approach to shortening the Egyptian Third Intermediate Period. Formerly most revisionists have postulated a large overlap between the 21st and 22nd dynasties. However, Aidan Dodson may be correct that there is only a small overlap of 25 to 50 years, with Psusennes II at the end of Dynasty 21 paralleling Shoshenq I the founder of Dynasty 22 (Revue d'Egyptologie 38 [1987] ...
