... Press, 2000 Reviewed by Jill Abery This book was advertised in C&CR 2001:1 , p. 33 (with purchasing details) as a summation of Roger Wescott's thoughts regarding mythology, human prehistory and catastrophism. For those unacquainted with Wescott's work it remains to be said that he spent his working life mainly in the field of linguistics and his many publications come with a deserved authority in this discipline. In less orthodox fields he was an eager Velikovskian and well known among the key figures in the world of catastrophism, of which SIS is a part. In this book he considers a wide range of catastrophic subjects in relation to their effects upon the history of mankind ...

53. A Note on the Location of Avaris [Journals] [Kronos]
... the basis of archaeological, literary, and philological data;(7 ) and while his reasoning seems compelling, it is not indisputable. The latter point, in particular, necessitated his contradicting the etymological conclusions of Gardiner, Labib, and Kees(8 ) as well as Sethe. (9 ) Thus, there is still room for linguistical debate and, in this respect, Velikovsky's argument that el-Arish is the site of Avaris remains a potent one. In addition, then, to Tanis and Khata na-Qantir, Egyptologists must earnestly deal with a third contender- el-Arish- when searching for the "lost city" of Avaris. The following intriguing and novel observations by Marvin Luckerman ...

56. Possible repercussions of 'The Bible Unearthed' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... been raised, as far as I know, in spite of the fact that this identification required inflating several Egyptian genealogies by a couple of generations or so. JACF:8 has an article by Carl Jansen-Winkeln, Dating the Beginnings of the 22nd Dynasty' (download available from David Rohl's ISIS website). He makes a good case on linguistic and written grounds for maintaining the Shishak = Shoshenq synchronism. It is in many ways an attractive connection, which David has found it difficult to rebuff. However, is the date assigned in the Bible to Shishak as solid as the linguistic similarities? According to Finkelstein & Silberman, the list of forts assigned to Rehoboam in response to ...

... any assumption which could not be correct if the hypothesized age of Saturn and the planetary gods actually occurred. Though giving this benefit of the doubt to the Saturn model asks a lot from the specialists, a new idea cannot be properly assessed without confronting its logical implications. Ev Cochrane says: I would offer the following thoughts from a trained linguist- Rens van der Slujis. Dr. van der Slujis is from the Netherlands and wrote to me from out of nowhere about how much he had benefited from his chance stumbling across the Saturn theory on my web site.

60. The Science of Catastrophism [Articles]
... is the science of catastrophism. It is highly interdisciplinary, for the speakers you will hear this weekend come from many fields and from many countries on three continents. To give you an idea of the areas which catastrophism involves, they include astronomy and physics and astrophysics and geophysics, myth and folklore and religion and classical literature, mathematics and linguistics and statistics, palaeontology and archaeology and archaeoastronomy and calendrics, and literature, history, politics and psychology, (and that is only a partial list).
