... , but as natural as the year and the day. Unfortunately, astronomy can help us very little just now. However, when science has once become more reconciled to the chief points of Hoerbiger's Cosmological Theory, a competent person may undertake to calculate possible distances and times. At present the most significant figures are reached when we compare the Egyptian and the Assyrian calendar systems. The two are as different as is possible: the former reckoning in solar cycles, each consisting of 1460years; the latter calculating by lunar cycles, equal to 1805 years. As it is a very natural thing to set' a calendar by some momentous cosmic phenomenon, and as the transformation of a ...
422. An Alternative to the Velikovskian Chronology for Ancient Egypt [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... years" are eliminated from the conventional (and apparently extended) history of the region. Very few of the Society's members would now be prepared to stand by the revision put forward in Ramses II and His Time and Peoples of the Sea although there is still a strong feeling that Ages in Chaos remains a true picture for the period of Egyptian history prior to the end of the XVIIIth Dynasty. As a result of this disquiet over Velikovsky's later revision there grew a body of scholars whose objective was to provide an alternative method of reducing the history of Egypt by some 500 years as demanded by Ages in Chaos whilst retaining the synchronisms put forward in that volume. Some tentative steps ...
423. Joseph and Imhotep (Letters) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... matching which I believe to be flawed), it would interest me greatly to learn how many generations intervened between Imhotep and Khnum-ab-ra. If the number is on the order of 60 or less, then this would give weight to raw radiocarbon dates whereas eighty or more would give the tree-ring correction an edge. As for Jacob not being an Egyptian, I call attention to the time that he spent in Egypt proper, the fact that he was mourned by the Egyptians at his death and that the funeral cortege was perceived the Canaanites as being Egyptian. If one lived in Egypt, one an Egyptian. Also, the architect Jacob erected several memorials and altars as well as his ...
424. "Papyrus Ipuwer" and Worlds in Collision [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Velikovsky's catastrophist interpretation of the "Papyrus Ipuwer" is unwarranted - the Papyrus gives no hint of an extraterrestrial commotion and the upheaval described in the text is more likely to have been social rather than cosmic. Several times in Worlds in Collision Velikovsky refers to the so-called "Papyrus Ipuwer", which, in his view, represents an Egyptian eyewitness account of the Venusian catastrophes of 1500 BC, and in particular of the same events which we now know as the plagues of the Exodus. The translation that I had access to was that of John A. Wilson in Ancient Near Eastern Texts Relating to the Old Testament (hereafter referred to as ANET), edited by James ...
425. Finding the Limits of Chronological Revision [Journals] [SIS Review]
... continue into LB II, the period characterised by Mycenaean pottery [14]. LB IIB sees the appearance of 19th Dynasty scarabs and inscriptions, and at the transition to Iron Age I items from the 20th Dynasty begin to appear. Here I will mention just a sample of sites where this sequence is attested. Lachish A good deal of Egyptian inscribed material has been unearthed at the important city of Lachish. The three strata of the Fosse Temple, built outside the NW corner of the mound, produced scarabs and other objects bearing the names of Thutmose III, Amenhotep III and Ramesses II, along with much LB I-II pottery including Cypriot and Mycenaean imports [15]. In ...
426. New Archaeological Dates for the Israelite Conquest Part II [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Dibon (Dhiban), and Heshbon (Hesban)- all towns which the Bible says were in existence at the time of the exodus- were not occupied during the Middle Bronze Age. [23] Bimson and Livingston argue that Middle Bronze II Heshbon and Dibon must have been located at sites other than Hesban and Dhiban, and that Egyptian texts prove that Dibon was occupied at least in the time of Thutmose III and Ramesses II (the Late Bronze Age). [24] But the reading of "Dibon" in the Egyptian texts they cite is not certain, [25] so we cannot be sure that Dibon was occupied in the Late Bronze period or that ...
427. A Solution for the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... an army that campaigned in Phoenicia and Palestine against the Assyrians. Sargon II, shortly after his accession in 722 BC, defeated an Egyptian-orientated alliance of kingdoms in Syria-Palestine that included Hamath, the Phoenician city states, and the Israel of Hoshea. In 720 BC he marched south into Philistia and routed Hanno of Gaza who was supported by an Egyptian army of the "turtan of Musri", one Sib'e.(12) Kitchen claims Sib'e should instead read Re'e (in the Akkadian) and Ria'a (in the Egyptian).(13) An identification of Sib'e with Seti II appears to be strained, but the possibility that Re'e has affinities with Ramses may be more promising ...

429. ISIS Fellowship Lecture [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from Egypt by Ahmose, first king of the 18th Dynasty. To begin at Bietak's conclusion, the importance of the site for chronology is that it shows that Middle Bronze Age pottery did not end with the expulsion of the Hyksos (conventionally about 1550 BC) but continued some time later into the Late Bronze historical period (corresponding to the Egyptian New Kingdom). Specifically, Bietak proposed overlapping the MB II C and LB I A period with both finishing c.1450 with Thutmose III, when the Egyptians set up their empire in the Levant. An introductory lecture was given by George Hart of the British Museum (and ISIS), reviewing links between Egypt and Palestine from ...
430. Pillars of the Past by Charles Ginenthal (Book Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , a bit awkward and repetitive, the presentation is overlong and there may be an inconsistent shifting in Ginenthal's attitude to carbon dating, but that is all trivial. What is central is the primacy he gives to scientific over historical data, and it is that to which we should pay attention. Consider, for example, Ginenthal's evidence regarding Egyptian chronology. What he brings forth is very startling, for it attacks the established long chronology from two deeply sensational directions at the same time. We have been traditionally told that the dynastic period of Egyptian history (the so-called Old', Middle' and New' Kingdoms) constitutes the totality of Egyptian history, that it began in ...
