... famous letter archive [3 ] contains a fund of historical information that has been used to justify placing its era in various times. The conventional view places it between 1400 and 1350BC [4 ]. Others blame the invading Israelites under Joshua, using the closeness of Habiru' to Hebrew', even though convention (Roux again) has Moses and the Exodus c. 1250BC. Bernard Newgrosh, David Rohl [5 ] and Peter van der Veen use the letters to place their activities in the times of Saul and David. Velikovsky argued forcibly that the letters belonged in the times of Ahab and Jehoshaphat [6 ]. He devoted 118 pages to the Amarna period - 35 ...
512. The Paleo-Saturnian System [Journals] [Aeon]
... Pishon and Gihon are located in Ethiopia. Gan Eden may also have been located in this country which was "criss-crossed with rivers." [16] In fact, the land of Ethiopia constitutes a running theme in the Torah. The following may well seem peripheral to the subject at hand, but consider: A tradition has it that Moses was a king in Ethiopia during his exile from Egypt. Yemenite Jewish elders believe that early Hebrews lived in Ethiopia at the time of the theophany at Har Sinai (the giving of the Law), but felt no urge to rejoin the people on their conquest of Canaan. Amos placed the following words in the mouth of YHWH when ...
513. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... article, and found interesting but not without their problems. Notably, the evidence in favour of Anati is the finding of 12 standing stones at the foot of Mount Karkom, at the edge of a campsite from which a trail leads up the mountain. This corresponds to the detail of Exodus 24:4 . In Exodus 26:30 Moses is instructed to build a tabernacle to God "according to the model that was shown to you on the mountain" - and Anati has found just such a tabernacle on top of Karkom. And, although surrounded by desert, this mountain is one place where one could live for 40 days and nights, for there are several places ...
514. Assyrians and Babylonian Chronologies for 8th - 6th Centuries BC [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... but only the second of whom exiled North Israelite populations. ' In support of this it is noted that in the original Hebrew of 1 Chronicles 5:26 a conjunction meaning and' precedes the spirit of Tiglath-pileser', who must therefore be a distinct person from Pul. In a contrasting passage in Exodus 7:4 , God tells Moses, I will bring my hosts, the children of Israel, out of Egypt with great judgements'. In the original Hebrew of this passage, there is no conjunction and' before children of Israel' and thus hosts' and children of Israel' are synonymous. Aaronson identifies Pul with Sardanapalus, whose name does not appear in ...
515. Were the "Sumerians of the Third Millennium" in Reality the Chaldeans of the First Millennium? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the third millennium" not just "a feeling of being the chosen" had already existed, but also that "the Sumerian economic power"must have been growing "more and more" (ibid.), too. Thus, anyone who accepts the biblical "Ur of the Chaldees" as the homeland of the great precursor of Moses, at the same time considering this city to have flourished in the 9th century, must also transfer the Abraham legend to this period; John van Seters, in his Abraham in History and Tradition, has established with great care that the substantial part of the legend derives from the 9th to 6th centuries B.C . (e ...
516. Earth-Venus Contacts in the Late 3rd Millennium BC? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Venus, Nergal with Mars, etc [1 ]. Velikovsky's assertion that the planetary gods caused catastrophes on Earth has been equally strongly criticised, and has been stoutly defended. However, one major assumption of his thesis has almost gone unchallenged, namely that there was just the one epoch of "Venus catastrophes" (in the times of Moses and Joshua). For in Worlds in Collision Velikovsky collects many examples of Venus goddesses causing destruction but without, in the vast majority of instances, being able to show that these relate to c.1500 BC and not an earlier or a later date. If, as I have suggested on a number of occasions, the Venus ...
517. The Bible as History? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Hughes notes the 215-year duration of the patriarchs in Canaan is exactly half of the 430-year period of Exodus 12:40, for the children of Israel in Egypt. In the MT and SP this 430 years refers to Egypt and Canaan, which is supported by the Priestly genealogy in Exodus 6:14-25, the 4 generations from Levi to Moses. Hughes notes that the Samaritan Toledah chronicle and the Hellenistic Jewish chronologer Demetrius both created genealogies based on this schematic chronology in precisely analogous fashion to the way he argues the Book of Generations was fabricated. In the Priestly chronology, the 430 years in Egypt is paralleled by 430 years from the founding of the temple to its destruction by ...
518. Imaginary and Expected Catastrophes: Apocalyptic Desire and Scientific Prognosis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... investigation has shown that these successive crises, which ushered in and concluded the principal phases of the 3rd and 2nd millennia, were not caused by the action of man. On the contrary, compared with the magnitude of these all-encompassing crises and their profound effects, the exploits of conquerors and the schemes of political leaders seem very insignificant. ' Moses Finley confirmed this finding for the European eastern Mediterranean area: Archaeological research reveals cataclysms, but it cannot tell us the causes or even who the participants were. Catastrophes occurred at regular intervals, explaining the five, clearly separated layers. ' [16] The discoveries of modern archaeology seem to be more or less in accordance with the ...
519. CLASHING MAGNETIC FIELDS [Journals] [Aeon]
... note the scenery, the astronomical stage. Mars and the Earth-Moon system were the leading actors, with supporting roles going to Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The plot concems tides and Maxwellian physics which resulted in planetary magnetic fields. The audience consisted of millions of ancients, including Noah, Job, Numa of Rome, Moses, Hesiod of Greece, Amos and Isaiah, all of whom recorded spectacles both seen and heard. A PROPOSED GEOMAGNETIC THEORY This proposed theory of cyclic Mars flybys accounts for the Earth's geomagnetic field and varies in two respects from the uniformitarian view currently in vogue. The current assumption is that the Earth has circulating fluid mass in its core ...
520. The Legends of the Jews: Volume I - Jacob [Books]
... twenty years that Jacob abode in Haran.[153] JACOB WITH LABAN Rachel's coming to the well at the moment when Jacob reached the territory belonging to Haran was an auspicious omen. To meet young maidens on first entering a city is a sure sign that fortune is favorable to one's undertakings. Experience proves this through Eliezer, Jacob, Moses, and Saul. They all encountered maidens when they approached a place new to them, and they all met with success.[154] Jacob treated Rachel at once as his cousin, which caused significant whispering among the by-standers. They censured Jacob for his demeanor toward her, for since God had sent the deluge upon the world ...
