... as a highly civilized race. They had passed the stage of worshiping sticks and stones and idols, and had reached to a knowledge of the one true God; they were agriculturists; they raised flocks of sheep and camels; they built houses; they had tamed the horse; they had progressed so far in astronomical knowledge as to have mapped out the heavens into constellations; they wrote books, consequently they possessed an alphabet; they engraved inscriptions upon the rocks. But it may be said truly that the book of Job, although it may be really a description of the Drift catastrophe, was not necessarily written at the time of, or even immediately after, that event ...
192. Hatshepsut and the Queen of Sheba: A Critique of Velikovsky's Identification and an Alternative View [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is claiming in this inscription that Amon had extended her borders to include not only Egypt but various adjacent lands, and the southern limit of these united dominions was the boundary with Punt. Since Hatshepsut's empire in the south included Nubia as far as the third cataract, we must conclude that Punt lay immediately beyond the limits of that territory. Map showing the location of Punt suggested in this article, and other sites mentioned in the text. by R. Burnard The evidence of this inscription not only contradicts Velikovsky's location of Punt, but is also an embarrassment to the theory recently proposed by Nibbi, that Punt lay in western central Sinai, east of the Bitter Lakes [61 ...
193. Chronological Problems in the Archaeology of the Hittites [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Ramesses II and the annals and even the biography of his adversary Hattusilis, describing the wars in Syria. What had been suspected from the Egyptian records was confirmed - Ramesses II had not scored a resounding victory at Kadesh, but at best a draw, and the Empire of Hattusilis encroached on the city-states of Syria as far as Damascus. Map 1: Sites mentioned in text The Problem After these discoveries there seemed to be no doubt whatsoever concerning the date of the Hittite Empire and its centres on the Anatolian plateau. It had been shown by numerous documents that the Empire had been the neighbour, at times ally and at times foe, of the Egyptian Empire of the XVIIIth ...

... the general and technical literature. The excerpts will be selected for their interest to scholars pursuing studies relevant to Velikovsky's work, as well as for interest to the general reader. Each item below- except for an occasional prefatory or concluding editor's comment in italics- is a direct quote from the source cited in boldface type. "COSMIC VIOLENCE"Radio map of an exploded star For much of the time of man the picture of the sky has been placid, the stellar motions regular, the positions of heavenly objects predictable. Superimposed on that orderly picture of old, a National Academy of Sciences committee reports in an assessment of the state of astronomy, is the picture of "a general ...
196. The Mars Mystery: The Secret Connection Between Earth and the Red Planet by Graham Hancock [Journals] [Aeon]
... and tabloid literature as it has been a celebrated celestial object in our night skies. The red planet has been recently visited by two space probes: Pathfinder, the lander that bounced its way onto the surface and opened its lotus-like petals for the short-lived wheeled rover to explore the immediate environment, and the orbiting Surveyor that is currently analyzing and mapping the surface to satisfy our insatiable curiosity in a more global frame of reference. The author Graham Hancock should be familiar to the readership as a peripatetic investigator of arcane subjects among his several books, [1 ] in recent years digging into the peculiar mysteries surrounding ancient civilizations and, specifically, their seemingly intellectually advanced predecessors who vanished under ...
197. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:6 (Aug 2000) Home | Issue Contents Vox Popvli The Standard of Longitute Frederic Jueneman, from Newark, California, writes: In his debate concerning ancient maps, Sean Mewhinney stated that the standard of longitude was set by the British Admiralty. [1 ] This is not quite correct. The Longitude Act of July 8, 1714, during the reign of Britain's Queen Anne, established a Board of Longitude which had eight "blue ribbon panel" members, two of which were the First Lord of the Admiralty and the Commissioner of the Navy, with the rest from academia and government. Three prize grades were established- respectively: £ ...
198. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... enormous gorge of the Blue Nile, fifteen miles wide and a mile deep, dropping 4,500 feet to the Sudan in something over 300 miles. It is a narrow, furious river, running at 12mph, and when it emerges on to the plains of the Sudan it is still less than 300 yards wide. Col. Cheesman mapped its course from 1925 to 1933 and soon realised that there was no question of following the river bed either by boat or on foot; in fact the first survey was made using a helicopter, by an American team in the 1960s, but it is doubtful whether there is any detailed geological knowledge of the varied strata and materials the ...
199. The Great 250,000 Year Ice Core [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Greenland Icecore Project (GRIP) - e.g . It is the most detailed climate record of the past 250,000 years ever obtained'[1 ]. If the claimed findings are correct, they have serious implications for studies of the Earth's history - for both catastrophists and conventional scientists alike - and comparing them with the ancient maps which apparently show an ice-free Greenland poses some interesting conundrums. (See How Old is Greenland's Ice Cap? ' C&C Workshop, 1992:1 ,pp. 10-11.) The GRIP core was drilled at the highest point of the Greenland ice sheet, where horizontal movement of the ice is assumed to be minimal, and ...
200. Chapter XVIII: the Star-temples At Karnak [Books]
... question were known to me, although the whole temple field is so crowded with temples, each apparently blocking up the fair-way of the other, that it seems well-nigh impossible that any such process as that described in the last chapter could have been applied. This difficulty will be gathered from the accompanying folding plate giving a reproduction of Lepsius's general maps of the temple region of Karnak, showing his reference letters and also the true north and the orientation of the chief temples. We have already dealt with the solar temple of Amen-Ra. We find, beginning at the south, a large temple with a long line of sphinxes, the temple of Mut (x ) facing the large ...
