Ahlstrom, "Another Moses Tradition" in JNES , vol. 39/1 (1980), p. 65-9. In his article Ahlstrom doesn't find enough Old Testament support for a Joshua invasion around 1200 B.C ., feeling that such a tradition arose from later rationalisations. Among his reasons for a later invasion are: Late Bronze II and Early ...

Ms. Brook reveals how the tales of this truly menacing monster have been preserved and variously told in the deliberate design of the constellations, in the mythology of every culture around the world, even in the nursery rhymes we tell our children. The story is told repeatedly in the Bible. It's the basis for the Moses/Joshua epic and a story featuring Elijah and Elisha. It's Yahweh crushing the heads of Leviathan. It's the Greek tale of Typhon. In Book 4 of the Odyssey, it's Menelaus vs. Proteus, "the Old Man of the Sea." In Book 10, Odysseus himself retraces the same route again. Pointed out, ...

... slash where the figure of a bull or some other deity should have been shown. After working at Har Karkom a few years Dr. Anati discovered a platform with twelve menhirs. Exodus 24 states that a platform with twelve pillars was erected. On top of the mountain is another rock formation that would fit Exodus 33, where God covered Moses with a rock protection. It is very curious that these remains are dated not to the Late Bronze Age-and- alas for me- not MBIIC but early MBI; on top of the mountain, in fact, is an EB Midian (? ) temple which also seems to fit the Bible. Should this site prove to be Mount ...

It began with the comparative history of Greeks and Jews. This comparison, focused on the question, if Moses was more ancient than Homer. The basis to decide this contest was written material (Bible and Iliad) whose chronological correctness was taken for granted. Stratigraphical research to check the dates of Bible and Iliad was not yet on the minds of authors. Since biblical dates were simply higher than the Greek ones, the latter had to give ...

Again we want to apologize for being late with this issue. We are having difficulties to find a good place for the journal and also some financial problems. Nevertheless, as we are about to enter our sixteenth year of CATASTROPHISM AND ANCIENT HISTORY we continue to break down some of the establishment barriers. We are now in the ...

(In 1923 Weizmann had proposed that Velikovsky should be the man to set up the Hebrew University.) In 1939 Velikovsky went to America to research a book on Moses, Oedipus and Akhnaton. Considering the circumstances of the Exodus, Velikovsky pursued the possibility that a natural catastrophe had taken place. He reasoned that its effects must have been more than local and might have been recorded by other nations. Finding the evidence he sought in abundance, he plunged into ten more years of research, synthesising history ...

Next to it was the city of Laish, and the Danites burned the city and then erected there a new city, Dan. Beth-Rehob, or House of Rehob, is the place we met in the story of the scouts sent by Moses - as the most remote point they visited going to the north. The place was "far from Zidon"; if it were where it is looked for today- at the source of the Jordan - it would not have been proper to say "far from Zidon", but rather "from Tyre". But if Zidon ...
