... the early periods in Mesopotamia, Greece and other Mediterranean regions are dependent on the dynastic structure of Egypt. Every effort is made to establish the contemporaneity of events in the ancient nations, but the foundation vitally necessary before this can be accomplished is the validity and accuracy of the Sothic chronology. We must first be certain of the foundation. Radiocarbon chronologists, testing the accuracy of carbon 14 as a scientific dating technique, have utilised what they consider the firmly grounded chronology of pharaonic Egypt as a check. Geophysicists have discovered, however, that Egyptian artifacts from the second millennium B.C . often date approximately five centuries too early based on astronomical dating. This is a serious ...
182. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Australian finds confirm similar evidence from Alaska and negate any previous ideas that the dinosaurs went extinct due merely to a drop in world temperatures. 14C Dating Disarray source: New Scientist 22.4 .89, p. 37 Pete Marsh', the body found in the peat in Cheshire, was considered because of the associated archaeological evidence and radiocarbon dating of the surrounding peat, to be of the Iron Age, some time between 200 and 760 BC. Radiocarbon dating of actual body tissues, however, performed by two different labs not only disagree with this dating but with each other! Dates obtained at Oxford indicate the early Roman period, 1st century AD, but those obtained ...
... contract with Doubleday to publish Oedipus and Akhnaton in the fall of 1957 and The Orbit the following autumn. The December 17 Publishers' Weekly trade journal noted that the thirteen Doubleday printings of Worlds in Collision had sold some 40,000 copies in six years. And on December 30, the National Geographic Society issued a press release: Using radiocarbon methods, scientists had dated relics from La Venta, Mexico, to 800-400 B.C . instead of the A.D . 400-500 figure that Mesoamericanists had conventionally assigned them. Although Velikovsky was nowhere mentioned in connection with the La Venta finding, he had of course long assumed that the Mayan mythology had referred to the same celestial ...
184. Chapter 7 Iron, Diorite and Other Hard Rock [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... B.C ., the astronomical lunar data of the 12th Dynasty should correlate with and corroborate that Sothic date. They do not! The astronomy correlates with Sothis-Sirius and the lunar data for the placement of Sesostris III and the 12th Dynasty in the first millennium. This is a direct astronomical contradiction to that chronology. In order to uphold radiocarbon dating as a support for the established chronology, the Egyptologists have been engaged not in employing this methodology as a means of testing that chronology; rather, their chronology has been utilized as the gauge by which they determine whether or not the radiocarbon dates they have found are valid. This is circular reasoning, not empirical testing. As ...
185. Miscellaneous [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 3 No 1: (Winter 1973) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered III" Home | Issue Contents Miscellaneous Cometary Venus BBC documentary Planetarium programs Radiocarbon dating The April, 1972, issue of Cosmic Electrodynamics carried a paper by Max K. Wallis entitled, "CometLike Interactions of Venus with the Solar Wind." Wallis (department of plasma physics, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) contends that two characteristics of a cometary atmosphere apply also to the plasma flow past Venus. Namely, ionization processes, in adding mass to the plasma flow, 1) cause interaction over an extended region, with a gradual change in flow parameters, and 2) eliminate ...
186. Summary and Closing Address [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Still in Chaos' Home | Issue Contents Summary and Closing Address Trevor Palmer David Salkeld analysed radiometric dating in an objective fashion and he thought that electrical effects could explain many of these anomalies. In spite of the improvement of the techniques, radiometric dating is still an inexact science and likely to remain so. During the discussion that followed, radiocarbon dating which had not been mentioned specifically by David, was also widely held to be unreliable and one of the issues was, does this simply mean that chronologists can't, certainly at the present time, rely on radiometric dating as a tool, or does it mean something more fundamental about the history of the Earth and the length of ...
187. Conclusion (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... not only had he disregarded my request for this test, but also at our previous meeting, he had stressed the great importance for the acceptance of a theory that it be able to generate correct predictions. "He stood up and asked: Which experiment would you like to have performed now? ' I asked him to help me obtain radiocarbon tests to check on my reconstruction of ancient history. He was very emphatic in his desire to help me in this. This was our last meeting; he died a few days later. In fulfillment of his wish, a letter went from his home after his death to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with the request that some of ...
188. New Archaeological Dates for the Israelite Conquest Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... ignores the fact that while Palestinian EB III pottery is found in Sixth Dynasty tombs, it is not found in tombs belonging to the supposedly contemporaneous Twelfth Dynasty. It also ignores stylistic differences and developments in tomb reliefs and inscriptions which indicate that the Old and Middle Kingdoms were not contemporaneous.21 And it must reject not only the evidence from radiocarbon dates (which generally support the conventional chronology for Egyptian dynasties) but also the much more accurate dendrochronological (tree-ring dating) system which has been used to correct and improve the radiocarbon dates.22 These difficulties are significant enough to cause most archaeologists and Egyptologists to reject Courville and Vaninger's chronology. But in addition, their system has internal ...

... much so that his main points were presented by me in KRONOS VII:4 (1982), p. 82. The crux of Sorensen's attack was that the sequence of specimens was not continuous enough to overlap reliably; the samples contained too large a proportion of complacent (uniform width) rings to crossmatch reliably; and the use of radiocarbon dating to place isolated samples involved circular reasoning. Sorensen's article seems to have been premature, for in late 1973 a paper by V. C. LaMarche and T. P. Harlan [" Accuracy of Tree Ring Dating of Bristlecone Pine for Calibration of the Radiocarbon Time Scale", J. Geophys. Res. 78 (1973 ...
