... 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. ...
222. SIS Study Group Meeting 16th October 1999 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... came out in Nov. 1999. For revisionists, as he says, this text gives a useful indication that the true date for Huteludush-Inshushinak is c. 800BC, and the Elamite Dark Age is solved by a down-dating of about three centuries'. Clearly this is a very significant chronological anachronism. Bob Porter then talked about Carbon Dating the Pyramids. An item in Archaeology (Sept. 1999) mentioned that small fragments of charcoal had been extracted from the mortar used between the stones in many places and C14 dated. Lime mortar was made by burning wood and limestone, a process which also produces carbon dioxide. In 1984 a set of C14 dates were obtained and published in ...
223. Possible Ways Forward [Journals] [SIS Review]
... mythology. My second point is that I feel we should be more eclectic. We are keen on catastrophes and very interested in chronology but there are other areas or topics that we don't really have much to say about. I feel we need to incorporate other ideas into our own scenario of the Past. For example, consider the Giza Pyramids. Long before Graham Hancock there has been interest in the Pyramids. There are lots of books and theories about them - but what do we have to say about them? Do we have any special insight or view of them? - not as far as I am aware. Here is another. Zecharia Sitchin has written about a ...
224. 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 ...

... 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 ...

... 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 ...

... adjusted anew. The astronomical values of the year and the day could not be the same before and after an upheaval in which, as the quoted Papyrus Anastasi IV says, the months were reversed and "the hours disordered." The length of the year during the Middle Kingdom is not known from any contemporaneous document. Because in the Pyramid texts dating from the Old Kingdom there is mention of "five days," it was erroneously concluded that in that period a year Of 365 days was already known.(14) But no inscription of the Old or Middle Kingdom has been found in which mention is made of a year Of 365 days or even 360 days. ...
228. SIS Conference 2002: Ages still in Chaos [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... "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 ...
229. The Tutankhamun Deception (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the conventional chronology; the Jesus/Tutankhamun identification begs the question as to why the attributes and belief systems of one man-god should have been erased from memory only to be transferred to another, centuries later - in conventional terms, a gap of over 13 centuries! The writer also believes that Imhotep had not only designed and built the Step Pyramid at Saqqara for King Zoser, but also the pyramids on the Giza plateau for the pharaohs Cheops (Khufu), Chephren and Mycerenus' - which, by the conventional chronology would give the architect a career stretching over at least 120 years [13]. Paul Standring Notes and References 1. The writer suggests the original entrance was ...

... 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 ...
