... the process of historicization' and the art of storytelling, a phenomenon Eliade called the progressive fall of the sacred into the concrete' [31] James' claims in The Sunken Kingdom, naive as they must appear from the standpoint of a scientific approach to ancient myth, sound positively erudite and credible in comparison to those offered by David Rohl in Legend: The Genesis of Civilization. Rohl claims to have found the terrestrial whereabouts of the Garden of Eden, Paradise and the landing-site of Noah's ark [32]. Remembering Velikovsky's extravagant claims about the historicity of Atlantis and the Exodus, it is tempting to regard the claims in The Sunken Kingdom and Legend as a vindication of ...
142. Pot Pourri [Journals] [SIS Review]
... meaningless except in the context of just one place in the world - the Bosporus strait leading into the Black Sea'. (The radiocarbon dating of the Black Sea flood would place it very shortly before the southerly migration of the Cainites from Azerbaijan, via Tepe Guran, to Susiana (c . 5500) according to the theories of David Rohl [10].) Wilson debunks findings about the remains of Noah's Ark: Navarra's fragments of the Ark', dated to c. 3000 BC, were later radiocarbon dated to AD 760 (Teddington) and AD 650 (Pennsylvania); the Akyayla boat' near Mt Ararat has a chemical composition consistent with soil and shows no ...
143. Amenophis, Osarsiph and Arzu. More on the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . References I. Velikovsky, Worlds in Collision, p. 229 (2 :2 ). Josephus, Against Apion, 1:25, 1:15. D. Courville, Catastrophism and Ancient History 1:1 , p. 27. P. Clapham, Workshop 4:3 , p. 2. COMMENTS BY DAVID ROHL There are certain points of contention that I feel ought to be raised concerning the proposals put forward in this paper. The arguments are fairly complex and so it would be pertinent to restrict this reply to the major details - leaving the general scheme for later discussion. Firstly the identity of the two brothers - Sethos and Harmais/Hermaeus ...
144. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The Year 8 Inscription of Ramesses II in context It was disconcerting to see a reproduction of the now famous Ramesses II Year 8 inscription in C&CR 1999:1 . I fear that Dale Murphie, probably along with many other readers, may have been misled by that wonderfully written Preface to A Test of Time, in which David Rohl discovers this block at the Ramesseum near Luxor. You remember the story: a long wait in the heat till the sun starts to go down, reading the name Shalem of the captured town on a corner block perched precariously high above the ground, inching ever closer so that when the light is perfect, so also will be the ...
145. New Chronology Issues, continued from Workshop 1991:1 [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , but on the strength of copious genealogical, historical and archaeological evidence. ' As regards the evidence of Bronze and Iron Ages, I fail to understand how Robinson cannot see the significance of the tradition quoted by Pausanias regarding the use of iron swords by the Trojans in the latter 7th century. On the genealogical question, I concede that Rohl did not claim that the Spartan king-lists represented generations. However, Rohl contrives to treat the list as genealogies by according each king a reign of 23 years. Knowing of the unstable and violent conditions in archaic Greece we should not be surprised to find Sparta, at certain periods of her history, going through up to half a dozen ...
146. Pillars of Straw [Journals] [Aeon]
... who, according to the Old Testament, despoiled the temple in Jerusalem. [2 ] Egyptologists identify this king as the Pharaoh Soshenq. Velikovsky disagreed, identifying him instead as Thutmose III. [3 ] But not everyone was happy with this and other identifications followed with their reliant years sliding up and down the scale of ages. David Rohl not only saw Shishak reflected in the person of Ramses II, [4 ] but also, at the same time, as the Sesostris mentioned by Herodotus. [5 ] Peter James, who had once worked hand in hand with Rohl, on the other hand, was sure that Shishak was really Ramses III. [6 ] ...
147. The Miracles of the Exodus by Colin Humphries and The Moses Legacy by Graham Phillips (Book reviews) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . However, we may note that Moe Mandelkehr, in C&C Review ( 'Part Two: The Geological Evidence'), claims that impact events were followed by several centuries of intermittent earthquakes at plate boundaries and along fault lines. In Chapter Three, Humphries dates Exodus and it is predictable. However, he does mention David Rohl and A Test of Time, but promptly rejects the New Chronology' on the grounds that archaeologists and historians have a well grounded framework. We've heard that sort of thing before and basically it means he is not prepared to be radical outside the parameters of his chosen field. This is reinforced as he takes on board the mainstream historical ...
148. On SIS and Insularism [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... There, also, Touchet has shown convincingly that Merenptah's famous stela does not contain the name of Israel, as still maintained by John Bimson in JACF (Vol. 2, 1988). Similarly, in their otherwise excellent article on The El Amarna Letters and the New Chronology' (C & C Review X, 1988), David Rohl and Bernard Newgrosh are writing as if in a vacuum; this has already been criticised by Derek Shelley-Pearce in C & C Workshop 1989:1 . There is no taking into account of Heinsohn's relevant researches. Illig's work, doubting with good reasons the reality of the whole division of Egyptian history in an Old, Middle and New Kingdom ...
149. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 8th November, 27 members being present. The Deputy Chairman, Mr David Roth, chairing the Meeting, hoped to double the numbers for the 1988 AGM. He was happy to report that the membership numbers had improved upon those of the previous year. It had been a good year for publications, and Mr Roth paid tribute to David Rohl for producing a magnificent volume VIII of Review. Finances In his Treasurer's Report, Mr David Salkeld stated his confidence in the future of SIS so long as membership numbers could be maintained. He explained some changes he was introducing into the accounting process, involving moving depreciation from the Income and Expenditure Account to the Balance Sheet. Depreciation, ...
150. The Amarna Age - an Introduction [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2001:2 (Sep 2001) Home | Issue Contents The Amarna Age - an Introduction David Rohl Summary David's introductory talk was intended to raise questions which would be tackled in different ways by different people over the weekend. He emphasised several times that in most cases there was no final answer possible at this stage, and that people's opinions were necessarily arrived at by a personal weighing of the evidence. He therefore encouraged debate and discussion rather than passive acceptance of the material to be presented. He was keen to view the period - and indeed much of history - in terms of the personalities involved, which for this period are especially vividly portrayed ...
