... have been in his mid-thirties at death. Hence the only realistic choice was Smenkhare. However, recent studies have varied in their estimates, from low twenties to mid-late thirties (more estimates give low figures). It is worth remembering that dating of most mummies gives too low a figure - for example the date inferred from the mummy of Ramesses 2 is about 20 years less than his attested reign length. At present the debate over the age of the body is ongoing. What other relevant facts are there? Consider the Amarna royal tomb. Aligned approximately on an east-west axis, it has long been recognised that (at least conceptually) the rising sun would shine down the ...
512. Some References to the Use of Iron Before the Iron Age [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . Both are brick and of similar original dimensions. That of Amenemes III has the modern name of The Black Pyramid'. Wainwright (p . 9) suggested that the Abousir and Dahshur accounts were really one and the same. Bob Porter, 1991 Editor's note: See also I. Velikovsky's Bronze and Iron' on pages 221-237 of Ramses II and His Time, (Sidgwick and Jackson, London, 1978). This was first published as Metallurgy and Chronology' in Pensee IVR, Vol. III, no. 3, Fall 1973. It has also been commented that: The question is surely not one as to which pyramids are meant here, clearly Old and ...
513. Cultural Aspects of the Libyan and Ethiopian Dynasties [Journals] [Kronos]
... approximates more closely to the vernacular and incorporates many foreign words; the copies of ancient texts are incredibly careless, as if the scribes utterly failed to understand their meaning."(1 ) Considering that, in the conventional chronology, between the end of the Eighteenth Dynasty (King Ay) and the beginning of the Nineteenth (counted from Ramses I) only some fifteen to twenty years are available (and Haremhab is supposed to fill them)- and even taking into account the revolutionary tendencies of Akhnaton- a break in all aspects of cultural development marking the transition between the two dynasties, the Eighteenth and the Nineteenth, is more than enigmatic. __ __ _ ...
514. Moderating the Middle Ages [Journals] [SIS Review]
... tried to correct him he addressed them with injuries and epithets full of contempt, affirming that all geometers had no notion of geometry'. Few readers of this journal will disagree with Fomenko when he says Egyptian chronology yawns with enormous gaps and is a set of separate fragments quite unrelated to each other or even completely independent'. Herodotus placed Ramesses II (1345-1200 BC in conventional chronology) before Cheops (2600-2480 BC) and an Ethiopian king after the Fourth Dynasty, jumping from 2480 to 715. ( 'If Manetho, Berossos, Spengler, Toynbee, Gardiner, Schessinger and Kitchen are historians, so is Herodotus. He may even be the best of the lot' - ...
515. A Chronology for the Eighteenth Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... day of four pharaohs - Thutmose I, II and III and Amenhotep II (10). In several cases, we have records of heb sed festivals or jubilees. These were known sometimes as 30-year festivals and also as Repeating of births". Amenhotep III celebrated jubilees in his 30th, 34th and 37th years (11), and Ramesses II in his 30th year and on 12 subsequent occasions in his 66/67-year reign (12). On the other hand, Sed festivals were celebrated by Amenhotep I in his year 9, by Hatshepsut in year 16, by Thutmose III in year 33 (13) and by Akhnaton in year 2 (14), while ...
516. Akhenaten as Moses [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... of god. His ideas represent the introduction of abstraction into theology in place of the images used before him. Turning finally (and very briefly) to the subject of the Exodus, there is only one piece of Egyptian evidence for a body of people coming out of Sinai into Canaan, and this happens at the changeover of rule between Rameses 1 and Seti 1. At the stage, some Midianite tribes (shasu) attempted to leave Sinai. Seti went out to fight them, and by preventing their departure caused the start of 40 years wandering. Interestingly there is no evidence either that Akhenaten died at the end of his reign, nor that the appropriate burial rituals were ...
517. Radiocarbon Dates for the Eighteenth Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the 50's and 60's, of limited time and resources available for testing samples, will no longer suffice. Today there are more laboratories and other methods available that may help in the debate. For example, as Velikovsky has suggested, the thermoluminescence technique, which can date the firing of ceramics, could be well applied to the tiles of Ramesses III (now in the British Museum) that appear to bear Greek letters, whilst supposedly predating the invention of the Greek alphabet by some 400 years (9 ). Perhaps the thermoluminescence laboratories also will plead that they are too busy to investigate such an "unlikely" construct as Velikovsky's revised chronology. Ironically, they seem to have ...
518. The Founding of Rome [Books] [de Grazia books]
... supposedly the XII Century) and the -700 or later Greek settlement. A Late Bronze house was obviously used by VII century Greeks. Beset by the dogmas of Egyptian chronology, scholars such as Blegen and Coldstream resorted to the excuse of an abandonment followed by contamination in a mixing of debris. In Egypt this was the time around the pharaoh Ramses III, on whose temple of Medinet Habu relating to the year 8 is recorded the "Invasion of Sea Peoples," that "They were coming while the flame was prepared before them, forward toward Egypt" [3 ]. Fire "before them" is not metaphor but refers probably to the innumerable cases of destruction by fire ...
519. Discussion Questions From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... is not Semitic or "Sumerian?" If the native language of the Kassites was "Sumerian," why did they assume names in a (possibly) Indo-European language? 4) To place the pyramid age late begs the question- when was it? In the iron age? Post-Ramses II? I can't see pyramids being raised under Ramses' immediate successors or Persian domination. They already existed in the time of Herodotus (5th century), who reports that they were built long before Amasis (which is important, if Amasis follows soon after Apries/Merneptah) as Velikovsky has theorised. 5) Can the vast amount of Old and Middle Kingdom architecture and material really ...
520. Earth-Venus Contacts in the Late 3rd Millennium BC? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . 1. "Deliverance of Mankind" Dating The translation I shall be using is that of J. A. Wilson in ANET, although there is a fuller rendition given by Rundle Clark [3 ] which I shall also refer to. Regarding its dating: "The text appears on the walls of the tombs of Seti I, Ramses II and Ramses III at Thebes. Its date is thus 14th-12th centuries b.c ., although the language used and the corrupted state of the text show that it followed an older original." [4 ] Wilson, whom I have cited here, did not venture to put a figure to the date of the "older ...
