206 pages of results. 491. Out of Egypt [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... a role in Pharaonic Egypt, this role - apart from certain events which are graphically recorded in the Old Testament - remains curiously shadowy and confused when the Hebrew scribes eventually set down in writing what had been an entirely oral tradition. The result is that the chronology of the Old Testament is wildly at variance with the chronology of the written Egyptian records, and a principal factor in the confusion is that at the time of writing the Israelite nation was at pains to dissociate itself from its earlier involvement with the Egypt of the Pharaohs. For example, the Old Testament scribe, who was writing many centuries after the Exodus, has it that Sarah's son Isaac was fathered by Abraham ...
492. And it Came to Pass, in the Days of Amraphel King of Shine'ar: Biblical Veracity and Non-biblical Chronology [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Abraham, raised doubts regarding his very existence (and the veracity of other Patriarchal and Exodus tales in the Bible); archaeology, invariably confirming the biblical data from the Books of Kings onward, appeared less generous concerning the earlier feats. Was there an Exodus? Since the event is not (so it is generally held) mentioned in Egyptian records, doubt is in fashion. And if it did happen, when? Current view places it in the thirteenth century B.C .; any deviation (even if it comes from the head of a major Near Eastern department) encounters personal abuse. Was there a conquest of Jericho? If you go along with the above ...
493. Precise Synchronization Involving the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... relatively simple task of plotting the revised chronology (at least through the reign of Akhnaten) to within an accuracy of a year or two. (The charts in Pensee IV and KRONOS I, 3 were drawn vaguely enough to allow at least ten years' error.) This is an important task, however, for obviously if the Egyptian and Hebrew chronologies cannot be so synchronized within the limits of the available data, we can reasonably say that Ages in Chaos has been effectively killed. Accordingly, I have here provided two schemes by which this synchronism can be accomplished, using the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, Ages in Chaos, and Sir Gardiner's Egypt of the ...
494. Society News. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... relegated to the realms of science fiction by establishment historians, more and more evidence for such contacts continues to surface and has direct bearing on theories of reconstructing ancient history. Our speakers gave us the results of serious study and research which cannot be lightly dismissed. Steve Mitchell, with some knowledge of Chinese script, was flabbergasted to see an Egyptian papyrus in the British Museum which looked to him like Chinese, although it was labelled Ancient Hieratic' from around 1900BC. Further, both scripts were read right to left. Steve made a more detailed comparison between the two types of script and their development. Both moved from incised script on stone, bronzes or oracle bones to brush ...
495. The Mosaic Calendar and the Sabbath [Journals] [Aeon]
... instruction to Moses. The population of Egypt was subservient to the priestly caste who calculated the calendar or, in somewhat better terminology, controlled the system which allowed the important feast days to occur on the correct cyclical days. So why not a nation which had just spent between 120 and 400 years (the various accepted sojourn lengths) under Egyptian cultural domination? Would not this same infant nation have taken such a system with it into the desert together with many of the devices it had observed working so well under Egyptian priestly hands? Israel commenced its second history with the Exodus. This impressive occurrence welded itself onto the psyche of young Israel. Coupled with the drama of the ...
496. Velikovsky and his Heroes [Articles]
... were these not, the Nazis of the Ancient World? But then, where does the Anti-semitism of those modern Nazis themselves stem from? From what source stemmed the exceptionally virulent virus of Jew-hatred in the 20th century that Velikovsky himself confronted? His own answer was that the Jews were identified with the descendants of the Hyksos. Inaugurated by the Egyptian priest Manetho, an extensive Jew-hating literature followed, and the stories of Manetho were told and retold, and adored by many writers. Hatred of the Hyksos, said Velikovsky, burning in the generations of the Ancient Orient, found a target in the Jews. The Israelites, he went on, endured much suffering from .this distortion ...
497. Man: The Past, The Present, and the Future [Books]
... and in that country originate some of the earliest records of our present civilization. Egypt escaped the Flood, for at the "dawn" of Mediterranean history the nation appears to be mature, old, and entirely without mythological and heroic ages-as if the country had never known youth. At the time of Menes, the first king, the Egyptians had long been architects, sculptors, and painters. Relatively speaking, the civilization of ancient Egypt, upon its first appearance, was of a higher order tban at any subsequent period of its history, a fact which indicates that it drew its greatness from a fountain higher than itself or at least its equal. The civilization of old ...
498. Before the Greeks: Professor Davis's Cretan Decipherments [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... would use the words Minoan Hittite' Velikovsky uses Luvian'. The first difference will be expected by SIS readers. Davis's dates are those of the dominant convention in contemporary archaeology. As James Mellaart states [12]: "Absolute dating of Mycenaean pottery depends not on calibrated C-14 dating, but on the presence of imported wares in datable Egyptian or Syrian contexts, or in less well datable Hittite or Cypriot ones. Ultimately only Egyptian dates are well founded, as the reigns of kings are well established for the Late Bronze Age." Likewise, Donald Easton states [13]: the Mycenaean, Trojan and Hittite sequences are all equally dependent on Egyptian synchronisms. ' As ...
499. Anno Domini Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... it is said, when he was 33 years of age – from a disease he picked up on his campaign to India and southern Iran. Retrocalculation from AD 1 would see Alexander conquering Syria in 333 BC, defeating a large Persian army. In 332 BC Egypt capitulated and Alexander was welcomed as a hero and introduced into the mysteries of Egyptian religion. In their eyes Alexander was a kind of messianic figure as he lifted from them the Persian yoke and inaugurated what was hoped to be a rebirth of Egypt. This situation was of course a blink of the eye' in history as large numbers of immigrants from the Greek world (western Asia, Anatolia, Greece and the ...
500. Neo-Babylonians and Achaemenids [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the Greeks as Nectanebo I was one and the same as the man known to Egyptologists as Ramses III of the 20th Dynasty. One thing is undisputed: Artaxerxes II came into direct conflict with Egypt under a king named Nectanebo, and suffered a crushing defeat. Now we ask ourselves: Did Nabopolasser at any stage in his career confront the Egyptians on the field of battle? He certainly did. We are told that after the collapse of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, Egypt, under a king Necho, sought to re-establish her control over Palestine and Syria, regions long regarded by the Egyptians as within their sphere of influence. In Nabopolasser's penultimate year, pharaoh Necho marched with a large ...
