... from which the priestly observations were made. (The higher the observing point and the lower the horizon, the more easily would the "handle" have been seen.) It is of course also of importance whether particular observations were made from Thebes or from some other observatory in a different latitude; Heliopolis, Memphis or even the Great Pyramid at Giza actually seem more probable as the source of the original observations. It may also be noted that Ursa major is variously known to moderns as the plough, the great bear and the dipper; to the ancient Egyptians of the Middle Kingdom and subsequently, however, it was always "the foreleg of the bull" - Meskheti ...
252. Paired Sets in the Hebrew Alphabet [Journals] [Aeon]
... , "leader, dictator" (from dabhar, "to speak"), (69) approximate the sounds of these letter names. The concepts "top" and "middle" occur in Hebrew words that also approximate the sounds of sin/shin and taw. Taken together these meanings might indicate the point of a cone or pyramidal object, such as the tip of a hill or tusk, as suggested by the related words sen, "peak, point of a rock, point of a fork, tooth, tusk," and sanan, "to sharpen, to point." Given the phonetic similarity between "n " and "r ," Hebrew ...

254. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1997:2 (Apr 1998) Home | Issue Contents Letters Dead Sea Pyramids'In C&CR 1996:2 (Letters, p. 57), Laurence Dixon enquired about some strange formations near Masada, on the western shore of the Dead Sea. His accompanying photograph shows features which he interprets as a courtyard, pyramid, enclosing wall and ramp'. Mr Dixon is not the first to suggest these are the remains of ancient buildings; one self-styled biblical archaeologist even identifies these weathered shapes as the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah. After studying such claims, we visited the area in March 1997, along with David Rohl ...
255. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... built around 800 BC and which sustained the Sabean people for 1,300 years. The great Persian Empire was underpinned by qanats, upward sloping tunnels carved across deserts into distant mountains to reach water bearing gravel beds below. The time and lives expended on these projects was several orders of magnitude greater than that expended on projects such as the pyramids. Many of these systems have been overlooked by Europeans as they spread around the world with their culture, but the success of a culture was in the numbers of people it managed to sustain, rather than the numbers of spectacular monuments which happen to have survived. A Eurocentric view of ancient peoples can easily get things out of proportion ...
256. Egyptian Language Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... BC, but linguistic, philological, and geopolitical evidence is conclusive in support of its derivation from an original text more than two thousand years older'. [11] As late as 1973, Lichtheim agreed that the original text copied by Shabaka was from the Old Kingdom. She wrote, The language is archaic and resembles that of the Pyramid Texts'. [12] However, a few years later Lichtheim changed her mind about the origin of the text. She concluded, based on an article by Junge, that the text was originally composed during the 25th Dynasty [13]. Accordingly, in volume 3 of her anthology, she advises readers to consider this text ...

258. Velikovsky and his Critics by Shane Mage [Books]
... one fact that is universally known, even to "modern astronomers," it is that many more than 2,000 years before the Ptolemies the Egyptians were able to make "highly reliable observations" of the length of the year "with accurate instruments of known location." Every child has heard of these instruments- they are called pyramids and obelisks. There is no need to dwell on the obvious scientific, engineering, and socio-economic sophistication of a society capable of building the Great Pyramid. We need only ask one simple question: how easy would it have been for the ancient Egyptians to determine the approximate length of the year as 365.25 days if that had ...
259. Scientific Prehistory [Books]
... looking in the wrong part of Egyptian history, being misled by both "history" and "science". Strickling proposed identifying Joseph with Imhotep, Zoser's "great architect". This identification seems reasonable according to "History of Ancient Egypt" by Breasted, and NER dating calibrated by GA-dating. Imhotep was the designer of the "Step Pyramid", the first of the pyramids of Egypt. Breasted also gave Imhotep credit for remarkably modern' architectural designs". This might well fit the character of Joseph as given in the Bible. It is consistent also in the name as being associated with Goshon by Genesis 15:13 is prophecy that the Israelites would be in bondage ...
260. An Integrated Model for an Earthwide Event at 2300 BC. Part I: The Archaeological Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of hunters and fishers is also reported to have showed up at about 2300 BC in Finland as well as in central and northern Russia [94]. Egypt Egypt, during the period of the Old Kingdom, developed an advanced culture that produced an integrated royal bureaucracy, massive stone structures, and brilliant art. Building projects such as the pyramids at Giza and Maidum testify to strong centralized control. The pyramids are only a part of the picture however; the associated temples and causeways, and the evidence of enormous material wealth reflect the prosperity of the culture. The literature indicates that this prosperity extended into the Fifth Dynasty, but as I will discuss a little later, began ...
