... that the language of Elam was agglutinative, like Sumerian, though it is claimed that the two are not closely related. However, there are very close links between the Sumerians and the Hattians, or Hittites: and it is here that Velikovsky comes in strongly in support of Heinsohn, for Velikovsky associated the Hittites with the Chaldaeans (see Ramses II and His Time {1978}). Briefly, it should be mentioned that Sumerian royal titles, such as Gal-Lugal, were always used by the Hittite monarchs, and that the Hittite pantheon and mythology was entirely Sumerian. Indeed, the close links between the Hittites and Sumerians were not lost on scholars, and have been frequently ...
572. The Patchwork Pentateuch [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... to a little creative interpretation by two contradictory redactors', referring presumably to the P' author (or authors?) of the Numbers 1/26 passages. R' had a hand in Ex 12:37, although not (according to Friedman) in the numerical part of the verse. And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth [Redactor], about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children [Elohist]. ' Apparently the long Exodus narrative was structured by the Redactor not using pieces of a genealogy, which had been appropriate to the more episodic Genesis, but using the itinerary list [. .. ] now located in ...

... was called, was Ezra the Scribe. The interpolation of place names common in the latter period into the earlier text, complete with occasional clarifying geographical notes, was a common practice on the Redactor's part. One such reference appears to have been the reference to "Ur of the Chaldees" in Genesis 11:31. Even Pithom and Ramses in Exodus 1:11 may be later names interpolated to identify earlier sites. Applying this model, I would tentatively speculate that "Samaria" which in the Persian period was the Persian capital of northern Palestine, was used by the Redactor to identify the great Hebrew city, capital of the northern kingdom, whose general location had long ...
574. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... report but, being admittedly uncritical, was quite superfluous and indeed misleading since it is our opinion that the arguments of Dr. Velikovsky and others against the Greenhouse Theory' are correct. In our defence it can only be pleaded that we were still recoiling from a rebuke for attempting to defend Velikovsky's theses in Peoples of the Sea' and Ramses II in the face of the so-called hard evidence' of the revisionist theories. - Ed. Dear Sir, I note that increasing reliance is being placed on 23rd March 687 B.C . as a landmark in the Chronology of Catastrophes. Has anybody been able to check the reliability of this dating? Dr. Velikovsky appears only ...
... ," according to Pensee. (13) "[ E ]ven as cracks appear in the once seemingly impenetrable barriers, he is unable to exploit the opportunities so presented." In his personal journal, de Grazia seemed to concur: [October 23, 1972] I said "you must finish Peoples of the Sea and the Ramses II volume promptly and publish them. You must not lecture and run around. Ten people can go around lecturing about you but only you can finish these books. Furthermore, you must not work on the Einstein book, or Stargazers, or Ash. These can be finished by someone else. You must write something, if only ...
... would appear that in these cases a Lyrae was the star personified by Anubis, as a Ursae Majoris and g Draconis were subsequently. But if the cult were more ancient the temple foundations were not, the first "length" of Luxor having been built, on this supposition, about 4900 B.C . The last length built by Rameses II. was certainly oriented to a Lyrae, by which I mean that if the building date given by Egyptologists is correct, a Lyrae rose in the axis prolonged- another instance of the long persistence of a cult, and of the fact that the temples that we see are but shrines restored. On the assumption that the above ...
577. Some Notes on Senmut's Ceiling [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the god is turning his head away from the goddess. Mythologically, both the Senmut - Ramesseum and the Seti traditions may be equally valuable; astronomically, the Seti representation is far more satisfactory." (Pogo, p.315f.) Isis and Orisis, as they appear in the ceilings of Seti (Dyn. XIX), Ramses (Dyn. XIX) and Hermopolis (Ptolemaic period). Cf. with Senmut, on cover. Already this has raised far more questions than it answers. To the Egyptians, used as they were to writing in either direction, and dealing with an essentially one-dimensional scheme, it would surely have been a simple matter, when ...
578. The Calendar [Journals] [Aeon]
... theory to fail. One error of date implicit on retrocalculations should be sufficient to throw grave doubts on the validity of others or the validity of the concept of retrocalculations. There is some support, however, for this date of 585, but not the specific 28/5 portion. This argument relies on acceptance of the thrust of Velikovsky's Ramses II and his Times. In the accession prayers of Merneptah there is an intriguing comment: "The moon came normally." [27] If this was the beginning of "some normality," as opposed to the previous abnormal comings and goings to which that phrase infers, then Thales could well have calculated correctly. Conventional historians ...
579. Origins: Today's Science, Tomorrow's Myth, by James E. Strickling [Journals] [SIS Review]
... new hard-back book, as I was told in no uncertain terms when I got home.) Sadly, after all the waiting, Peoples of the Sea was a disappointment. Even I, a non-specialist, could see that the arguments were weak and the subsequent attacks by the specialists were devastating. One of the most powerful Egyptian kings, Ramesses III, was claimed to be the same person as a relative nonentity, Nectanebo I, while the supposed culmination of Velikovsky's arguments amounted to little more than unproved (and probably unprovable) speculations involving Alexander the Great. Moreover, it was not the second volume of Ages in Chaos, as expected, but volume IV, and the ...
580. Sidelights on Velikovsky's 'Ages in Chaos' [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... sixteenth year of his reign.18 The king heard that "tribes of the district of Hua" were harassing his vassals, and he went to punish them, "embarked with his fleet. It was an expedition almost entirely devoid of danger." Centuries later, the "district of Hua" turned up again in the records of Rameses III, "along with Puanit it was a mountainous country, which was reached by water."19 The records declare that Punt was approached by a cape called "Head of Nekhabit."20 Does this not remind us of the cliff-entrance to Lebanon, Rush fa Nikrah (" Head of the Grotto")? 4. ...
