... 6 days, whereas eight years of 365 days equal 2920 days, and eight Julian years of 365-1/4 days equal 2922 days. In other words, in four years there is a difference of approximately one day between the Venus and the Julian calendars. As I shall show in more detail in my reconstruction of ancient history, the Egyptians of the second part of the first pre-Christian millennium observed the Venus year. A decree published in Egyptian and in Greek by the conclave of priests which took place in Canopus in the reign of Ptolemy III (Euergetes) in -239 was intended to reform the calendar "according to the present arrangement of the world" and "an amendment ...
362. The Legends of the Jews: Volume II - Joseph [Books]
... "the children which God hath graciously given Thy servant," and as Benjamin was not among the children thus spoken of, for he was born later, Joseph compensated him now by blessing him with the grace of God.[245] The table was set in three divisions, for Joseph, for his brethren, and for the Egyptians. The sons of Jacob did not venture to eat of the dishes set before them, they were afraid they might not have been prepared according to the ritual prescriptions- a punishment upon Joseph for having slandered his brethren, whom he once charged with not being punctilious in the observance of the dietary laws.[246] The Egyptians, ...
363. Philistines, Persians, and "Peoples of the Sea": A Problem of Ethnic Identity [Journals] [Kronos]
... purely linguistic terms, there is little question that the equation of PRST with Philistines (or Palestinians) causes fewer difficulties than with Persians (or Farsis), since in the former case the t is part of the base, while in the latter it must be interpreted as a suffix. To be sure, Classical (Middle Kingdom) Egyptian(3 ) had a commonly used nominal t-suffix, and if it had functioned to convert place names into ethnic designations, there would be no problem. Unfortunately, however, it served to mark feminine nouns and pronouns.(4 ) One way to support the Velikovskyan interpretation here is to note that, in some cases, personal ...
364. Minerals, Metals, Glazing and Man, by John Dayton, Reviewed by Geoffrey Gammon [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... but also an attempt to resolve the apparent contradictions posed by these anachronistic artifacts by challenging accepted views on the chronology of the Bronze Age in the Near East and the Aegean. The book is divided into three parts. Part I is wholly technical, being devoted principally to defining the nature of glass, glazed bodies, and pigments such as Egyptian blue or kyanos,3and explaining how a glaze is applied to clay and other objects. Part II, entitled "Geology, Metallurgy and Trade," charts :the geological occurrence of non-ferrous metals in Europe and the Near East, indicates how copper and bronze metallurgy developed in areas of Europe where copper and tin were mined during the ...
365. An Eighth-Century Date for Merenptah? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... on the date of Merenptah and the so-called "Israel stele" [" An Eighth-Century Date for Merenptah", SISR III:2 , pp. 57-9.] are no more sound than those of Velikovsky [1 ]. First of all I would note that everything supports the view that the oft-quoted lines from the stele refer to an Egyptian victory in Palestine. This is supported by the following: - (i ) The whole stele clearly relates to Merenptah's victories: cf. the references to his defeat of the "Nine Bows", the Libyans, Tehenu, etc. earlier in the stele, paralleling the references to the "Nine Bows" and Tehenu in the ...
366. A Response to Forrest [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the papyrus "must" refer to conditions following the breakdown of the Old Kingdom (not the dissolution attendant upon the fall of the Middle Kingdom, as Velikovsky proposes) - contriving to ignore both the dire complexity of the whole problem of attempting a historical date for the Admonitions and the fact that no less an organ than the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology saw fit to publish a paper by an established Egyptologist (Van Seters) arguing for a date matching that advocated by Velikovsky! Third, quoting an extract (actually, a series of extracts) from the papyrus in Wilson's mutilated version, he aligns himself firmly with the conventional dogma that "the upheaval described is a social and ...
367. The Scandal of Enkomi [Journals] [Pensee]
... X" Home | Issue Contents The Scandal of Enkomi Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright 1974 by Immanuel Velikovsky A DILEMMA RESULTING FROM THE CONVENTIONAL CHRONOLOGY This paper comprised part of the unpublished sequel to Ages in Chaos originally set in type in 1952. It is now scheduled for publication-in an elaborated and updated form- in The Dark Age of Greece. The lengthening of Egyptian history by phantom centuries must have as a consequence the lengthening of Mycenaean-Greek history by the same length of time. On Cyprus, Aegean culture came into contact with the cultures of the Orient, and particularly with that of Egypt, and unavoidably embarrassing situations were then in store for archaeology. In 1896 the British Museum conducted excavations at the ...
368. An Integrated Model for an Earthwide Event at 2300 BC. Part I: The Archaeological Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... chronology for Anatolia at this period has not been fully sorted out; an example is Mellink's assertion that the Troy IIg and Beycesultan XIII destructions occurred at the end of EB IIIa rather than EB II [17]. Her chronology is not critically out of line with my dating structure since she synchronises the site destructions with the end of the Egyptian Sixth Dynasty. As I discuss later, depending on the Egyptian chronology selected, this would place the destructions at either 2340 BC or 2180 BC. There was unusual earthquake activity extending throughout this time period; the exact time of the site destructions is not critical to my model. I have not found any reports of site destructions on ...
369. Astronomical Dating and Calendrics [Journals] [Aeon]
... of the reliability of the counts passed down to us, a number of respects remain uncertain, since dynasties arranged consecutively in the king lists appear in part to have ruled at the same time in different areas." (8 ) A different method was chosen for Egypt from that used for Mesopotamia. Again, the very great age of Egyptian civilization- rooted, in the final reckoning, in Abraham's visit to the Nile- was tacitly maintained. But, in addition to that, an independent method of objectively dating the past was sought. The result, following in the wake of 19th century Egyptologists and embodied in the canonization by Eduard Meyer (9 ) that was to ...
370. The Orion Mystery by Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... (= Osiris). So far so good - the diagrams seem to match. They then go on to suggest all the lesser pyramids of dynasty 3 and those of dynasty 4 form part of the stellar pattern and it is the constellation of Orion that has been marked out on earth in stone, a theory that relies on an early Egyptian knowledge of astrology with distinct parallels to the Sumerian variety including the format of the constellations. This is a bit unpalatable in some ways as Sumer is assumed to have invented the Zodiacal scheme and yet there is very little tangible evidence of direct cultural contacts between Egypt and Sumer in the third millennium BC. Nevertheless, Bauval and Gilbert's treatment ...
