... since 1972. His previous publications have appeared in Catastrophism and Ancient History, Discussions in Egyptology, C & C Workshop, Newsletter of the American Research Center in Egypt and C & C Review. In Towards a New Chronology of Ancient Egypt' [1 ], I addressed the often heard claim that radiocarbon results provide basic confirmation of the Egyptian chronology. Among the fundamental issues discussed were the validity of the tree-ring based calibrations and the failure of most analysts to consider the age of the wood that the Egyptians were using. Also noted was the possibility that short-lived materials may be systematically yielding radiocarbon dates that are older than their historical dates because of contamination by old carbons from the ...

... a doctor's degree. PETER JAMES has an honours degree in Ancient History and Archaeology from Birmingham University, where he specialised in Mesopotamian Studies, and won the John Humphreys Memorial Prize in Archaeology. 7. THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM What evidence can Velikovsky adduce for identifying Thutmose III as Shishak? "The pharaoh invaded Judea and, according to the Egyptian and scriptural narratives alike, took all the cities' and approached the capital, called Kadesh in the annals of the pharaoh and in the Scriptures called both Jerusalem and Kadesh. The conquest of Palestine is described almost identically in the Book of Kings and Chronicles and in the Egyptian annals. .. . The palace and the Temple of ...

344. The Lord Of Light [Journals] [Aeon]
... dialect forms of the word for myrrh' or incense'." (17) It is, therefore, of special interest to recall that one of the gifts brought by the Magi was myrrh and that it was used by Nicodemus to anoint the body of Christ before burial. (18) Even the Emperor Augustus was depicted on an Egyptian shrine offering myrrh to Isis, (19) the great goddess often associated with the planet Venus. Adonis was also called the Dove, and "at the ceremonies in honor of his resurrection from the dead, the devotees said Hail to the Dove! the Restorer of Light'." (20) The dove was also the ...
345. The Amarna Iconoclasts - Who were the Real Criminals? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Who were the Real Criminals?Penny Wilson Summary This talk explored the extent to which Akhenaten's reputation as "criminal" in the eyes of his successors was justified. By looking at the nature of his beliefs and actions towards those who differed, as compared with the backlash after his death, can they be called heretical or criminal by ancient Egyptian standards? Content The reason for this talk was that, on first looking at Akhenaten's life, the speaker was struck by a moment of pity for him. Having planned and intended so much, it only took until the early Ramesside era for him to be spoken of as "the criminal of Akhetaten" and strenuous efforts to be ...
346. Heinsohn's Revised Chronology [Journals] [Aeon]
... the Bible." (1 ) He argues that our knowledge of the now lost writings of the Hellenistic historians Manetho (for Egypt) and Berossus (for Mesopotamia) comes only from ancient Jewish and Christian authors who already had adapted them to biblical chronology. (2 ) Because of belief in the antiquity of Abraham, the beginnings of Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilization were stretched back to the beginning of the third millennium BCE and later scholars ignored the testimony of ancient authors who knew only four pre-Hellenistic periods in Mesopotamia: early Chaldean, Assyrian, Chaldean, and Persian. However, there is clear evidence that, without any influence from biblical chronology, the ancients (especially the Greeks ...
347. Scarabs [Journals] [Pensee]
... wedding of Amenhotep III and Tiy. A few served to convey good wishes, such as "a happy New Year," like the cards that are sent today. Those of the last category could be regarded as amulets, but not the others. Those bearing cartouches of the royal names must serve as datable objects. "Not all Egyptian scarabs were used as seals. Some, but a very small number compared to the seal class, were used as amulets" (1 ). "Their [scarab-shaped seals] value as corroborative evidence to other historical data must not be overlooked, nor can certain classes of them be lightly cast aside as bric-a-brac by the archaeologist who ...
348. Some observations from Jesse Lasken concerning the 'new chronology' [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... /Newgrosh theory that it is hard to know where to start. Can Porter or Newgrosh explain why, if they are right, this document does not refer to the 59th year of Akhenaten? How does Horemheb become Akhenaten? And unless the new chronologists are prepared to disavow the generally held position of Egyptologists that Akhenaten was despised by subsequent Egyptians, how is it conceivable that the Egyptians would dignify Akhenaten by counting years from the start of his (actually her) reign? Can the new chronologists provide even one other certain example of this dating convention? And how is it that Breasted has an inscription in Ancient Records of Egypt 3: 32B dated to the 8th year of ...
349. Origins of the Zodiac and some Horological Problems [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... day and the night. Whilst a connection with the signs of the zodiac or the months of the year may look probable, it is one which does not seem to be at all easy to postulate with much clarity. In so far as there is already an orthodox explanation for the 12 hours, it appears to be that the ancient Egyptians (Old or Middle Kingdom) observed a 10-day week and that they eventually gravitated to describing stars which rose heliacally at intervals of 10 days as "hour stars" (R .A . Parker, "Ancient Egyptian Astronomy"). Apart from anything else, however, this scheme would result in hours of only 40 modern minutes ...
350. Chapter XVII: the Building Inscriptions [Books]
... Chapter XVII The Building Inscriptions NUMEROUS references to the ceremonial of laying the foundation-stones of temples exist, and we learn from the works of Chabas, Brugsch, Dümichen, [1 ] and others, that the foundation of an Egyptian temple was associated with a series of ceremonies which are repeatedly described with a minuteness which, as Nissen has pointed out, [2 ] is painfully wanting in the case of Greece and Rome. Amongst these ceremonies, one especially refers to the fixing of the temple-axis; it is called, technically, " the stretching of the cord," and is not only illustrated by inscriptions on the walls of the temples of Karnak, Denderah, and ...
