... would have been hidden and he suggests numerous locations around El-Amarna that correspond to descriptions on the scroll. Indeed. a hoard of gold and silver bars was found during excavations in the 1920's. He thinks other locations in Egypt are likely, as well as in Israel. Having produced a chronological scheme in which Joseph is vizier to Akhenaten and Moses and the Exodus occur in Setnakhte's reign, prior to Ramesses III, he has also developed arguments to support the idea that the Israelites of the Exodus were accompanied by surviving Atenist priests and followers who still retained some of the treasure from the Great Temple at Akhetaten. In this way both wealth and the monotheistic ideas of the Atenist priests ...

... its time from the inception of the Cambrian to the present. That sounds rather meek and docile, indeed uniformitarian, but no, he thought that the reversal proceeded with sudden jerks, between age-long periods of stability, and, moreover, the last jerk or jerks had occurred within human memory. He mentions the plagues in the Egypt of Moses' day, and Joshua's long day half a century later. He [also] mentions (2 Kings 20: 10-11) a shortening of the Sun's shadow by 10º. Suball does not mention Velikovsky, but might well have read about him. Clearly he was a catastrophist, just one of the many who tried their best but ...
393. Origins of the Zodiac and some Horological Problems [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the Egyptians elected for day hours which were different in length from night hours, but the full answer to this question is scarcely relevant to the present argument, even if it is closely connected with the special characteristics of "hour stars"). The modern 7-day week appears to have originated later than the 10 day week, possibly with Moses (Exodus 20, vv. 9-11), but this also appears to be an arbitrary count, for all that the days of the 7-day week are nominally allocated to planets; there also does not seem ever to have been any attempt to associate it with stars which appear at 7 day intervals, as might have been expected if ...

... of the Caucasus was held in great esteem by all the inhabitants of the adjacent lands. Connected with the Caucasus and originating there is the legend of Prometheus.(17) He was chained to a rock for bringing fire to man. The allegorical character of this legend gains meaning when we consider Augustine's words that Prometheus was a contemporary of Moses.(18) Torrents of petroleum poured down upon the Caucasus and were consumed. The smoke of the Caucasus fire was still in the imaginative sight of Ovid, fifteen centuries later, when he described the burning of the world. The continuing fires in Siberia, the Caucasus, in the Arabian desert, and everywhere else were blazes ...

... course,[85] and annihilating the descendants of the giants. Fortified places, unwalled cities, and flat, open country, all fell in their hands.[86] They pushed on through the desert as far as the spring issuing from the rock at Kadesh, the spot appointed by God as the place of pronouncing judgment against Moses and Aaron on account of the waters of strife. Thence they turned toward the central portion of Palestine, the country of dates, where they encountered the five godless kings, Bera, the villain, king of Sodom; Birsha, the sinner, king of Gomorrah; Shinab, the father-hater, king of Admah; Shemeber, the ...

... topic. Sigmund Freud, in correspondence with me, claimed that he had "very similar, in some parts identical ideas," then not yet published, on the subject.(3 ) As for the divining rod, I do not know the explanation of the phenomenon. However, its practice is very old. The story of Moses who struck a rock with his rod and caused water to flow shows that it was already known in ancient times. In modern times governmental agencies employ the services of the diviners with their rods. I wondered why under the heading of "Some Unorthodoxies in Modern Science" my theory found a place with two ancient beliefs and practices. ...

... 400 or so years later in the times of Saul & David. As we were about to go to press W. G. Shannon wrote to us with two cuttings on the Goedicke theory from the SUNDAY TIMES. The first, of 17/5 /81, was written by Jerome Burne and titled "Did volcano work miracle for Moses?" and gave a slightly different version of the theory, based on a recent talk he gave to a student audience. The following week, 24/5 /81, Elizabeth Bennett wrote in to point out that the theory is the same as that published by her late husband in June 1963. She noted a similar account ...

... visualised a God who was One in Three and Three in One. The Jews believed that the Messiah would appear at a Saturn-Jupiter conjunction, which is significant for supporters of Velikovsky and Talbott. It may also explain the Jews' rejection of Christ: I suspect that they were waiting for an Earth-Jupiter encounter with a person of the Noah/Moses type to appear on Earth at the same time. We know they were expecting and still do expect it to be a cosmic event. When a humble carpenter appeared under an orderly heaven he was bound to be rejected. I believe that the Sun, Moon and Venus Trinity of Babylon was originally that of Saturn, Jupiter and Venus ...
400. An Authority Called To Witness. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... world catastrophe took place when a huge meteoric train caused simultaneously a flood in Attica and a fire in Africa, because numerous ancient authors connected these two events with the disturbances caused by Phaëthon's unlucky ride in the sky. The literary tradition of the early centuries of the present era dated Phaëthon's conflagration and the coincident Deucalion's flood in the lifetime of Moses. Kugler would not regard these dates as necessarily correct; nevertheless, "we have no right to deny these traditions their historical substratum." Even if Kugler did not discern the full expanse of the cataclysms and did not dare recognize the role of Venus, he still wondered at the insistence with which the Morning Star was mentioned in ...
