... to the Nile, depending on how you interpret "river of Egypt)." I am preparing an answer to Rose (whose title, by the way, is a bit deceptive since Rose- though opposing Heinsohn's lower dating of the Neo Assyrians- advocates lowering Egypt's Dynasty XII (Middle Kingdom) to the -4th century! and the pyramids to the -8th century) so I won't say more at this point except to note that if the Bible story about David and Solomon is based on genuine events then somewhere within that sizeable realm we should find evidence of them. Ev wrote: It is Rose's contention that the chronologies of Heinsohn, Illig, and Peiser are impossible to ...
222. Editor's Page [Journals] [Aeon]
... 4 , 210 years ago"- which doesn't jive with its calculated return in another 2, 400 years. Informing us that comets "have been blamed for earthquakes and floods, Caesar's assassination and the death of Charlemagne," we are also told that the last human eyes to behold this particular one "were eyes that saw the Great Pyramids at Giza when they were young," which is contradicted a few lines later where it is said that "the Great Pyramids had already endured 400 years of sandstorms." At that time, "the grandeur of Rome and Athens lay centuries in the future," while the empires of the Meso-Americans "were yet to be. ...

... other of our friends and colleagues Livio Catullo Stecchini and Ralph E. Juergens. Besides the personal grief that their passing has brought to us who might count them as dear friends, the loss to pioneering scholarship and science in their demise is great. "Both men left off in the middle of important books and articles, Livio Stecchini on pyramids, on the origin of the gospels, and on ancient measuring systems, and Ralph Juergens on the electrical theory of the cosmos. Professor Earl Milton of Lethbridge University (Canada) has undertaken to review Juergens' manuscripts and I Stecchini's with a view towards their eventual publication. Other colleagues are concerned as well. "Both men were ...

... the hidden Ark (if it was there) for a relatively small payment or an instruction from a superior authority similarly persuaded by Hancock. Perhaps Hancock intends to write a sequel, having aroused world-wide interest in his theme. There are, however, many interesting comments in the book. For instance, Hancock describes his visit to the Great Pyramid of Giza, which he discovered had been built around 2550BC for Khufu (or Cheops) '. In fact there is evidence that it and the two lesser pyramids had been built thousands of years earlier and that the Khufu inscriptions Vyse claimed to have found in the recesses above the Kings Chamber were forgeries (see The Stairway to Heaven ...

... diffusion but came out against it, which left such things as dragon mythology best explained by a passing comet and extraterrestrial causes for Bronze Age catastrophes. The discussion strayed to theories such as that of Hancock where, if Plato's dates were taken literally, then Atlantis was part of the ancient, highly developed civilisation which was wiped out. The pyramids could be much older than accepted if Egyptian society was started with the knowledge held by the few survivors, but that led to the problem of why they subsequently lost this knowledge. If it was conceded that the technology of pyramid building was too good for the time of their supposed erection, then another explanation was that they were actually ...
226. The Identification of Avails and Nefrusi [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Nefrusi might have been. As has been well documented by Alessandra Nibbi, Egyptologists have made many serious errors in their geographical placements of places and peoples named in Egyptian epigraphic material. Indeed, I have recently shown in the Newsletter of the American Research Center in Egypt 152:3-5 (1990) that the Egyptian Labyrinth was at the Step Pyramid complex at Saqqara rather than at Hawarra. This finding has important chronological implications bearing on the problem at hand, since Herodotus says the Labyrinth was built around 700 BC and since wall scribblings at the Labyrinth are dated to regnal years of a number of "18th Dynasty" rulers and one "19th Dynasty" ruler. (See Firth ...

... when the same planetary body may have been responsible for several of them. If only the scholars of mythology can be persuaded to examine Velikovsky's thesis, what riches might emerge! In the meantime the field is yours. WHITE, PETER: The Past is Human Angus & Robertson, 1974 (reprinted 1976). (RML) The Great Pyramid; the statues of Easter Island; the "Nazea Lines"; the building feats of Tiabuanaco; cave drawings in Africa and elsewhere, the Mayan calendar; the Piri Re'is Map: were these puzzling relics created by visitors from other worlds? Dr White is Senior Lecturer in Prehistory at the University of Sydney, and would be the ...

... day? The inescapable fact is that from at least the Greco-Roman era to Modern times both cycles shared 25,920 divisions. Is this mere coincidence or meaningful evidence? Were the ancient Hebrews aware of the precession? Daniel Trifiletti El Toro, California 1. Livio Catullo Stecchini, "Notes on the Relation of Ancient Measures to the Great Pyramid." In Peter Tompkins, Secrets of the Great Pyramid. New York: Harper.& Row, 1971, 381. 2. Ibid., 382. ...
... surface crust of the earth forces some portion to give way and "crumples up" into a hill or mountain, and that fissures, usually accompanying an earthquake, allow that part to "contract" into a mountain. (I . Lewin, Earthquakes, p.27.) How is it then that a volcano is invariably of pyramidal form, a base tapering to a summit? By no possible law of nature could a mountain be thrown up in that form. It would be credible if a great vacuum opened up in the earth where a "weakness" occurred and quantities of rocks and lava were thrown out helter-skelter like a gigantic mine which is exploded. Yet ...

... "natural" at delivering impressive lectures... and with no notes at all! (at least I did not see him refer to any). His lecture was quite detailed and discussed the possibilities of a unification of three different middle-eastern chronologies. As I remember, these differences could solve a lot of outstanding problems of chronology concerning Pyramid dating, the Exodus period and subsequent. Apparently, a lot of these dates can be meaningfully unified into a common denominator and there was evidence to back up these claims. I think Emmet claimed that the Pyramids for instance, were built around 1000 B.C or slightly later, but definitely not 2500 B.C . as ...
