... the 200 silent years are due to chronological errors and not to a petrification of the Jewish mind. After all, one of the Persian emperors, Artaxerxes, is on record for exiling Jews. Still, no one ever dared to speculate if Nabopolassar and Nebuchadnezer are, in Judean/ Babylonian terminology, what Xerxes and Artaxerxes I are in Greek/ Persian terminology. Nabopolassar and Nebuchadnezer are not even compared with Pul and Shalmaneser (Israeli terminology) or with Ashurnasirpal and Shalmaneser III (Assyrian terminology). That is why the conquest sagas of Israel and Judah are never thought of as two different stories about one and the same event. Unknowingly, Thompson finds himself in the same ...
562. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , Centuries of Darkness, and found his arguments for a reduction of approximately 250 years in the dating of the end of the Late Bronze Age, from about 1200 BC coventionally to around 950 BC, very compelling. By considering, in turn, the problems posed by the supposed Dark Ages in each of the major Eastern Mediterranean empires, Greek, Hittite, Assyrian, Palestinian, Cypriot, Egyptian, etc., he comes to the conclusion that a 250 years shift in conventional chronology would more or less wipe out the present hiatus in archaeological dating. There is nothing new in this to SIS subscribers, but what I found disappointing in James' book was his almost total ...
563. The Last Supper [Journals] [Aeon]
... article, Sammer observed that Jesus and his disciples did not sit at the table the way we moderns do and the way artists have usually portrayed them to have done- see illustration above (after the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci). Instead, according to Sammer, the disciples, including Jesus, reclined on cushions the way the Greeks and Romans did. When Jesus washed his disciples' feet, he was therefore conforming to Greek and Roman custom. ". .. the washing of feet before a formal meal was a regular practice. The reason was a practical one- on formal occasions the Greeks and the Romans did not sit at a table as we do ...

... al-Ubaid pottery, he dates the graves to the period before 4000 BC. Besides finding a copper spear-blade in one of these, he notes that [6 ]: "the bodies all lay on their backs, rigidly extended, with the hands crossed below the stomach, a position not found in Mesopotamian graves of any later date until the Greek period; such a difference in the ritual of burial is most important in that it implies a difference in the basic religious beliefs of the people." Could these not, in fact, be the graves from the Greek period? After all, Ur existed after the time of Alexander. Second, any normal person, not bent ...

569. The Stratigraphy of Bahrein: An Answer to Critics [Journals] [Aeon]
... was built on the garbage assemblage, which did not form an earlier settlement in its own right. Within the garbage, however, a ceramic was found which the excavators had christened after Barbar (a temple site elsewhere on Bahrein) and dated- for reasons to be explained below- to 2300 BCE, two thousand years earlier than the Greek Period settlement. The excavators wondered about this time span because in other areas they found the Greek material and the Barbar material even on the same level though not in the same hole: "Yet there was a two-thousand-year difference in date." (Page 153) To complete the stratigraphic sequence found in sondages A and B, twenty-five ...
570. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 3 No 2 (Oct 1980) Home | Issue Contents Letters On Circe and Atlantis Dear Sir, Ms. Bekker's letter ( WORKSHOP vol.2 . no.3 , p.12) suggests that some reflection on the provenance of Circe in Greek mythology and further reflection on basic facts of etymology would not go amiss. For Ms. Bekker's benefit, Circe was accounted the daughter of Helios and the ocean nymph Perseis. Of the same union were born Pasiphae and Aetes, according to the earliest versions. Pasiphae's union with Minos yielded Ariadne and (later versions) others, some with disputed paternity (such as the Minotaur). Aetes ...
