... is not 3.14 but 3.14159..... which does not fit the dimensions quoted.] Warming to their task, and taking out even more sensitive measuring devices, they give the dimensions of each of the four sides of the pyramid's base to the nearest ten thousandth of an inch, implying that the ancient Egyptians worked to the same precision, which certainly does not follow. Similarly, they write that the pyramid was aligned within 3 arc minutes of true north but do not provide details of exactly how this was measured. Bauval and Hancock point out that the height of the pyramid multiplied by 43,200 approximately equals the polar radius of the ...
542. The Autobiography Of Nebuchadnezzar. Ch. 5. (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... II at Kadesh-Carchemish. For our purposes the short reference to that campaign suffices; the full story was told in the chapter dealing with the records of Ramses II concerning his wars with Kheta, and the material has already been contraposed to the biblical data on the war of Nebuchadnezzar against Egypt. It is known9 that Nebuchadnezzar, pursuing the beaten Egyptian army, came to the border of Egypt and then returned to Babylon. Actually the autobiography states: AUTOBIOGRAPHY SEC. 9: I returned from the land of Egypt and brought offerings to the Goddess. Ramses II did not disclose that the army of Kheta, after the battle of Kadesh, pursued him through Syria and Palestine, but ...

544. The Thirteenth Theory of the Hyksos [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... theory, which equates the Hyksos with Palestinian princes or Syro-Canaanites in general, can still muster a considerable number of supporters. Syro-Palestine's Middle Bronze Age IIB-C shows a strong archaeological similarity with Hyksos sites in Egypt, e.g . Tell Daba. However, Mesopotamia proves to be another serious contender in this field. More importantly, the ancient Egyptians themselves did not identify the Hyksos with Canaanites. On the Amada Stela from the time of Amenophis II (1439 to 1413) the Hyksos and the princes of Palestine (Retenu) ' are mentioned together (Stock, 1942, p. 71 - italics added; cf. also Bietak 1980, col. 102). Obviously the ...
545. Suns and Planets in Neolithic Rock Art [Journals] [Aeon]
... the message of the writer. (19) Initially, the various pictographs represented familiar objects as realistically as possible, and thus in most cases it is possible to identify the natural objects depicted in the various pictographs. Upon further evolution of the script, however, the signs took on an increasingly abstract character (particularly in Mesopotamia, the Egyptian script generally retaining its pictographic form). The Assyrian character , for example, is known to have evolved from a Sumerian pictograph featuring a bird. (20) Recognizable amongst the earliest pictographs of the Sumerians, Egyptians, Maya and Chinese is the "solar" disc with central dot (our Figure 2). In both Egypt ...
546. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Day argued against Velikovsky's revised chronology on several points. One of his arguments (pp.9 - 10, under the heading The Exodus) concerned Exodus 1: 11, the verse which states that the Israelites in Egypt built for pharaoh store-cities, Pithom and Raamses. Raamses is generally assumed to be the same as the city known from Egyptian sources as Pi-Ramesse, the Delta residence-city of Rameses II. Day therefore seized on the verse as support for the view which associates the Exodus with the reign of Rameses II as conventionally dated. The last issue of this Review included a letter by Dr Eva Danelius (15, pp.24-5), chiefly concerned with answering Day on ...
547. Cushan Rishathaim [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... review all of the proposals that have been made by those who consider Cushan to have been a historical figure, thus attention is focused upon a couple of candidates who have enjoyed the most popularity recently. The first of these is Irsu from Egypt.3 He ruled there briefly during the interval between the 19th and 20th dynasties. The relevant Egyptian text describes him as a "Syrian."4 In actuality, however, Irsu does not make a good candidate for Cushan. Irsu did not invade Egypt from the north, he came to power from within Egypt at a time of weakness. As far as is known from Egyptian sources, he never conducted any foreign military campaigns ...
548. Ages in Chaos in the Light of C14 Archaeometry [Journals] [Pensee]
... , 1972. The chart of C14 dates was prepared by MacKie. Introduction Among most scholars the conventional chronology of Pharaonic Egypt is considered a reliable framework for the history and archaeology of the entire Middle East. Based to a large extent on the well-known dynastic scheme compiled at the beginning of the third century B.C . by the Greek-writing Egyptian historian Manetho, this chronology has been augmented and partially modified by evidence from the monuments and records such as the Palermo Stone and Turin Royal Canon (Turin Papyrus) king lists. However, certain portions of it, especially those relating to various post-Middle Kingdom dynasties, create a number of perplexing difficulties. Thus, as a consequence of ...
549. Avaris and the Land of Goshen [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... for defending his newly acquired domains from the Assyrians. We are further told that Memphis was seized and used as the Administration centre by Salatis. The Assyrians, or indeed any Asiatic invasion force that wished to attack the Delta, take Memphis and then move either into the Western Delta or Southwards into Middle Egypt, only had access to the Egyptian Delta by two main routes. The most Northerly entrance point was via the border fortress and bridge at Sile. From there the road turned South Westwards along the side of the Waters of Shihor, thence along the route of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile. The more Southerly entrance through the North Eastern border was near modern-day Imailiyah at ...
550. The End of Mitanni and Some Related Problems [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the time of Tushratta is reasonably established,1 and need not concern us here. But problems relative to the location of the Mitannian kingdom and its final decades are much in question. Dr. Velikovsky's proposed relocation of Mitanni in northern Iran2 is contrary to the available data. In support of his theory Velikovsky failed to present any evidence of Egyptian contact with this region, or satisfactorily refute the fact that all the evidence points to a state centered close to the upper Euphrates. For example Paratarna, the first Mitannian king about whom we have any information, is referred to as his overlord by Idrimi, king of Alalah.3 Tablets belonging to this king and his successor, ...
