... the latest by about 275, when he followed Antiochos to Kos, an island in the Aegean Sea. In general, he uses the death of Alexander the Great as the cut-off date. He claims that in all his writing he used exclusively the old records of the Bel-priest of Babylon, from whence he received his name, for old Persians called the city Nadita-Bera instead of (Bab.) Ninditu-Bel. The Greek word rwsis means strength - perhaps he got this name because he was a strong supporter of the Bel-priests. Be that as it may, the contents of his books are known only through other writers who have quoted passages. By putting together all these quotations, ...
... , whatever pretext might be alleged, the real motive was the acquisition of valuable minerals. Philip of Macedon, by the acquisition of the gold mines of Mount Pangha, built up his army and became the dictator of the Greek states. It was similarly the policy of Alexander the Great, as it was of the Assyrians and of the Persians, all nations who preyed upon others owing to the ambition of their kings. It was the objective of the Giants who invaded the West in the thirteen years' war. I have said little about Hermes in this summary, but the reader will have recognized the vital part he played, and the link he forms between the ancient ...
543. A Catastrophic Reading of Western Cosmology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... .... The true causes... have no resemblance to the causes in which we believed for nearly three hundred years." (ibid.: 70-71) Gravity had become our goddess, the mother cause behind every solid phenomenon. Like all the great mother-goddesses of history, however, be it Isis in Egypt or the Persian Cybele or the Christian Mary, we created gravity to give us what all mothers give, which is eternal security, but then we were told that this was not true, that gravity was a fiction. Something else was at work'. Newton had described the Universe as a perfect mechanism like a machine or clock, but all ...
544. Early Historic Man - Catastrophism and Calendars [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... use a calendar which was wrong, and nevertheless I have shown that it was happening - the Egyptians used the year of 365 days till 25 BC, only in 500 BC roughly the year of 365.25 days was begun to be used. Why was it done so late? There is an explanation for Egypt; that from the Persian period which begins in 525 BC, anarchy reigned in that country which was under foreign occupation. Foreign occupation began already with the 25th Dynasty, the Ethiopian. In Rome, the Romans at the time of Julius Caesar, the senators who had the job of deciding when the intercalary month had to be used, they put more and ...
545. Additional Notes on Assyro-Babylonian Chronology [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... list.- Reallexikon der Assyriologie und vorderasiatischen Archäologie (RLA), Vol. VI (Berlin and New York, 1980), pp. 93, 96, 97. 7. Several examples from the 7th century BC are given by Frame in his Babylonia 689-627 B.C ., pp. 287-288. A later example is the Persian king Artaerxes I, who died in his 40th regnal year. The scribes, however, also allotted him the following chaotic year as they did not recognize the usurper Sogdianus, who ruled for seven months, as the legitimate king. 8. Arthur Ungnad in RLA, Vol. II (Berlin and Leipzig, 1933), p ...
546. Einstein and Relativity [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (of Clube and Napier) and, like Achilles, the giant was wounded in the foot or ankle (the Lamed or Fisher King of Romance). Or-ion is etymologically similar to Err-ain (the land of the goddess Eriu, a form of Aine), and Ur-ien of the Welsh, ar-yan of the Hindus, Ir-an of the Persians, but what of Arthur. In one sense he may be cognate with a heavenly bull or bear but what about the root of tree, i.e . a celestial tree, a phenomenon in the sky involving a stream of light and branches (? ). Bran was also associated with a platter or dish on which his ...
... Young and old, like a fairytale one tells to children and so fires their fancy. The Flood was unquestionably the greatest catastrophe that ever befel the human race, and exerted the most profound influence upon the fortunes of the Aryan race because they felt its direct effects. This is attested in the Zend Avesta, the sacred book of the Persians, in which it says that there were sixteen countries given by Ormuzd, the good deity, as the dwelling-place for the Aryans, a region described as one of delight, but turned by Aliriman, the Evil One, into a land of death and cold, partly by a great flood, described in terms similar to that of ...
548. The Pitfalls of Radiocarbon Dating [Journals] [Pensee]
... the contemporaneous rulers of the so-called Hittite Empire is equally misplaced by over 700 years.(*) Finally the Twentieth Dynasty- that of Ramses III and his adversaries- Peoples of the Sea- needs to be brought closer to our time by a full 800 years and placed just a few decades before Alexander of Macedon. The Twenty-first Dynasty began under the Persian kings, continued contemporaneous with the Twentieth- its rulers reigned in the Libyan Desert oases- and lasted until the second Ptolemy. (I take this opportunity to give these figures because, instead of a second volume of Ages in Chaos that should have followed closely the first that appeared in 1952, the entire work will consist of five presently planned ...

... deliberately use a calendar which was wrong, and nevertheless I have shown that it was happening, the Egyptians used the year of 365 till 25 BC, only in 500 BC roughly the year of 365 1/4 was begun to be used. Why was it done so late? There is an explanation for Egypt, that from the Persian period which begins in 525 BC, anarchy reigned in that country which was under foreign occupation. Foreign occupation began already with the XXVth Dynasty, the Ethiopian Dynasty.

550. A Test of Time: Volume I the Bible - From Myth to History by David M. Rohl [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Amarna period in the time of Ahab and Elijah in Volume I seemed plausible initially but were later shown to be erroneous. The later volumes, with their proposed identifications of Nebuchadrezzar II as the alter ego of the Hittite Great King Hattusilis III and of the Peleset, who invaded Egypt in the reign of Ramesses III, as fourth century BC Persian troops fighting against Nectanebo l, strained credibility from the start. Notwithstanding his erudition across a wide spectrum of disciplines, his powerful intellect and exceptional originality of mind, Velikovsky lacked the training and specific skills of the historian. While David Rohl has developed expertise as an Egyptologist and he has drawn several striking parallels between Egyptian and biblical historical ...
