... like the Hyksos invasion of Egypt, to roughly the time of the Exodus [25]. But if our arguments have been correct thus far, the evidence of the bichrome ware favours the Philistines as the newcomers to the site, and as the builders of City II. However, alongside this evidence, we must also note that Hyksos scarabs have been found in the City II levels; in particular, scarabs of Aa-user-re, or Apophis, who was probably the final Hyksos ruler of Egypt (since he reigned to the time of Ahmose, the founder of Dynasty XVIII), have been found there, and have been used to date the end of the City II period ...
... power in Palestine." It was rebuilt in the el-Amarna period: a plaque of Amenhotep III was found under the foundation of the rebuilt temple.3 Various small objects were discovered amid the ruins. "The ivories, the beads, and the vases of glass, faience and stone belong fairly consistently to the XVIIIth and XIXth Dynasties. Scarabs and plaques with royal names range from Thothmes [Thutmose III] (1501-1447) to Ramses II (1292-1225). This indicates only that the Temple cannot have come to an end before 1292 B.C ." 4 All these dates are derived from the conventional chronology. Together with Egyptian objects of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Dynasties, ...
28. Amenhotep III and Tiy. Part 1 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... her, completely overshadowed by their royal husbands. In the past there had been a woman on the throne of Egypt-Hatshepsut, about a hundred years earlier-but none of the royal wives ever had such prominence as Tiy. The marriage of the king to his queen was made an event of historical proportions. Large "marriage seals" or unusually big scarabs engraved with the names of Amenhotep and Tiy were distributed in great numbers throughout Egypt and abroad; they also bore the names of Tiy's parents-she was so certain of her position and authority that there was no attempt to ascribe to her divine descent or royal birth. Other large seals with the names of Amenhotep and Tiy have been discovered in ...
29. Untitled [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... the Hittites, Ugarit on the Syrian coast, Aphek on the Palestinian coast, and Egypt. These historical relationships can be tied into the scheme of Palestinian pottery chronology through the nature of this type of ware in the government house in conjunction with the letter. The pottery recovered in the government house debris includes Mycenaean IIIB types, and a scarab of Ramesses II (under whom Haya served in Egypt) was found at its entrance. The ceramic chronology can be further refined once the large corpus of both local and imported pottery discovered in the building ruins have been published, but the general outline which locates it in Late Bronze IIB is already straightforward. Takuhlina begins his letter to ...
30. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... it could be either MB II or LB I, and a lot is definitely MB II. It therefore seems likely that the Group V tombs actually date from some time before the end of the so-called MB II' city (which must be relabelled MB II/LB I' if Wood is correct). In connection with the Sheshi scarab from Tomb H13, we should also note Bietak's remarks: "The scarabs of Ssy [= Sheshi] and Hc-nfr-Rc in tomb group V .. . of Jericho have to be late occurrences, postdating the carriers of the names, because we already have a scarab of M3c-ib-Rc (considered to be contemporary with the Ssy group) in ...
31. Trails Over the Sea. Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... Trojan War, kings ruled in Mycenae in the Argive plain, there were commerce and traffic between Greece and Egypt. In the Thebes of Amenhotep III and in the el-Amarna of Akhnaton, Mycenaean ware has been found in large quantities; and in Mycenae and the neighboring Tiryns objects from the Egypt of Amenhotep III have been uncovered.1 A scarab, or signet, bearing the name of Queen Tiy was found in Mycenae; and it has been observed that it is from this time on that Egyptian objects appear in continental Greece. Even exact reproductions of decorations on the ceilings of the tombs in Egyptian Thebes were discovered in the tombs of Mycenae and Orchomenos.2 As for Thebes ...
32. Chronological Problems in the Archaeology of the Hittites [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the improbable gap were suggested. Riis argued that the dates of Level G should simply be lowered to include the rest of the Late Bronze Age, meeting period F around 1200 BC [34]. Claude Schaeffer, comparing the Hamath material with that from Ugarit, took the completely opposite view. From the discovery in Level F of a scarab of Thutmose III [35], green faïence similar to that from Late Bronze Ugarit (II and III, dated to between 1450 and 1200 BC) seals showing Mesopotamian influence of a kind found in Ugarit II, a cornaline cylinder seal of Kassite type, and from numerous resemblances in the ceramic and other assemblages to those of Late ...
33. The Amarna Period and Levantine Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... feature here is the presence of a head-rest design on the top surface, bearing some similarity to Egyptian images of Hathor. In the rear chamber, on the other hand, there are no Palestinian features, but rather rock-cut locations for sarcophagi. These are extremely rare outside Egypt. In the grounds of the German school nearby a large heart scarab was found and documented, but has subsequently gone missing (probably into a private collection). The name of King Seti was found underneath - a crucial element for determining the timing of this. Thus, there is every indication that there was indeed a small Egyptian community, possibly lasting several generations, based in the hills above the ...
34. A Further Note on the Archaeology of Jericho [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to support our suggestion that David maintained a small outpost there (10). That some pottery from Tomb 5 can be dated to c. 1500 BC is therefore very fitting, since in the revised chronology this would belong to the first half of the tenth century BC; hence we have no problem dating to the time of David. Scarabs of Hatshepsut and Thutmosis III from the same tomb suggest that the outpost was still maintained in the reigns of Solomon and Rehoboam (11). In summary: MBA Jericho was destroyed by Joshua, around 1400 BC. Then followed a long gap in occupation. In the time of David a settlement of some kind was established on the ...

... been discovered in stratum VII. Nor did Heinsohn himself ever show that such items were discovered in stratum VII. And as far as Collon is concerned, "there is no evidence of the Hyksos ever being as far north as Tell Atchana (Alalakh)..." [9 ] True, as Shelley-Pearce pointed out, a Hyksos scarab was discovered by Leonard Woolley at the site, but in stratum VI not VII. Even so, as Shelley-Pearce argued: "The fact that Woolley clearly finds the Hyksos element in stratum VI shows that there is no geographical problem with Hyksos in the area and the temporal proximity of stratums VI and VII is obviously much closer than the ...
36. The Correct Placement of Haremhab in Egyptian History [Journals] [Kronos]
... ". Queen Mutnodjme is also spoken of as a "great hereditary princess" and as "regent of Egypt"- and even "of all the countries".(5 ) Thus the queen occupied the throne not just because she was the king's spouse, but in her own right. Her exalted position is also reflected in her scarabs or signets. They were made of gold. Surviving scarabs of queens of the preceding ages are made of various materials, mostly minerals, but not of gold; not even from Hatshepsut who occupied the throne as "king", or from Tiy, the exalted queen of Amenhotep III, do we possess scarabs of gold. " ...

... 1600 years earlier, had warned that Manetho's king lists should not be read as being a sequential list, since they probably included the names of dynasties which ruled concurrently in several different parts of Egypt. This warning was studiously ignored. When Schliemann excavated the famous Shaft Graves at Mycenae in Greece in the 1870s, he found they contained some scarabs naming Amenhotep III and his wife Queen Tiy. So, when Petrie found much similar Mycenaean pottery in Egypt at Pharaoh Akhenaten's short-lived capital city of Amarna, such was the confidence in the correctness of Egyptian chronology that it was used to date the entire contents of the Late Helladic graves at Mycenae to not later than about 1300BC. Then ...
38. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... used date Ahmose's reign 1550-1525 or 1539-1514BC. Thus the old higher chronology can accomodate the carbon date range, but the now preferred lower chronology only works with the earliest part of the possible regnal year range. c) Some of the seaborne lumps of Theran pumice found at Tell Daba were located in strata that were exceptionally well dated by discarded scarabs, many with royal names, apparently from a scarab workshop. Manfred Bietak concluded that the pumice could be dated into the period after Ahmose and before Thutmose III' and that this seems to make a strong case for a date of eruption between 1515 and 1460BC' (pp. 124-5 of The Centre of Hyksos Rule: Avaris' ...
39. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the radiocarbon dating of the eruption is accepted. Further fragments have been found at Daba in association with 18th Dynasty buildings (ibid., p. 44). 2. The early 18th Dynasty rulers built a palace there (ibid., p. 44), but who builds a palace in a ruin field? 3. A scarab workshop with 18th Dynasty royal names from Ahmose to Thutmose III and Amenhotep II was found (Bietak et al. 1994, p. 32). Most other royal name objects from Daba are acknowledged to be out of context. Another site closely related to the problem is Tell el-Ajjul in south-west Palestine, considered by many to be Sharuhen ...
40. The Celestial Ship of North Vol. I [Books]
... and fangs and sting of death were assigned to the devil of darkness, who gradually assumed the character of man's mortal enemy, that brought death to the world."[2 ] It is difficult to realize that the Constellation Draco, or the Serpent belonging to the myths of the past became personified as the devil of theology. The Scarab, or Beetle, was held very sacred, and seemingly born of itself, and from itself, was given the title of "The Only Begotten." In the month of June, or Mesore, at the rising of the river Nile, this creature rolls its egg into a little ball which it stows away, to await ...
41. Some Additional Evidence from the Period from the Exodus to the End of the Eighteenth Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... worshippers of Seth, or Hyksos. Thus the references to the Amalekites and to the children of Sheth by Balaam reveal the identity of these two designations. Of the period of the Eighteenth Dynasty in Egypt, recognised by us as contemporary with the House of David (up to and including the time of Jehoshaphat), a large number of scarabs have been found in Palestine and Syria. Scarabs - seals of the pharaohs - and impressions of these seals in clay are as a rule found in these countries in much more recent levels. Especially startling is the fact that the scarabs of Thutmose III are regularly found in levels five to six centuries younger; an accumulation of newly found ...

... strata in Syria/Palestine were consecutive and that finds in the latter strata were heirlooms, but believe that the 12th Dynasty was a line of high priests, or priest-kings of Amon, rather than real monarchs, who reigned' alongside the mighty pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty. This is strongly suggested by the existence of a whole series of scarabs bearing double cartouches of 12th and 18th Dynasty rulers. Flinders Petrie, in his A History of Egypt, vol. 2, p. 146, [writes]: Scarabs bear double cartouches of Usertesen [Sesostris] III and Tahutmes [Thutmose] III .. . others read doubly (kha/maat) ka, Usertesen II ...
43. Thoth Vol III, No. 10: July 30, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... to my rhetorical question, on the 16th I saw a featured article in New Scientist of 10 July titled "The riddle of the Sands". The subtext reads: "Deep in the Sahara lie vast deposits of incredibly pure glass. Nothing on Earth could have created them." It mentions the green glass forming the heart of a scarab found in Tutankhamen's tomb that is made of such glass. Walter Alter had written about this subject on 7 April and it was reprinted in Thoth III-8: .. . An Italian geologist has taken a close look at the beautiful translucent scarab in a pectoral, or necklace, found by Howard Carter among the treasures of Tutankhamen. Carter ...

... renewed cycle of the soul, or re-birth. The Spirit of Life and Immortality was everywhere symbolized by a circle. Eden was a circle, where the "Goings forth were forevermore," as there was neither begin-fling nor ending. Sometimes the beetle was called the Redeemer, the Eternal and Infinity. Khepr was the Egyptian name for the Scarab. Of Khepr-Ptah it was said, "Thou art fatherless; begotten by thine own becoming, thou art without mother; thou are born by the repetition of self." Thus through transformation it became the creator, type of the only-begotten. When the scarab is portrayed as a globe with two wings added, it becomes a most ...
45. The Stratigraphical Chronology of Ancient Israel [Journals] [Aeon]
... century. The preconceived chronology of the excavators of Samaria, of course, was biblically based. They "did not need" Egyptian chronology because they believed in the validity of the history of the Northern Kingdom as derived from Scripture. (43) That's why Samaria's strata I and II were not dated to the 15th century even though a scarab of Thutmose III (conventionally dated 1479-1425) was found on the floor of the palace assigned to Omri and Ahab. (44) In Beth Shean- and other sites with much less information available from the Bible- a scarab of Thutmose III should have transformed the corresponding stratum into a Late Bronze I level. In Samaria the stratum ...

... any confidence that Tony has actually made any effort to research his work; if he had, he would have discovered that there is no king Apophis with the prenomen Ma-ib-ra' [see J. von Beckerath: Handbuch der agyptischen Konigsnamen (1984), p. 78] but a king Ma-ib-ra' Sheshi whose nomen, found on a scarab, was originally misread as Pepi (which in itself could not be read Apepi/Apophis - there is no recorded instance where the name Apepi is written without the first ain i.e . the reed' hieroglyph). The misreading was due to a confusion over the sign for p' (a square) and sh' ...

... which may be contradictory can open the way to new insights. (NOTE: the above editorial is MY opinion .. . ) Amy Acheson Thoth@Whidbey.com- DESERT GEMS by Walter Radtke This just orbited across my monitor & I thought I'd pass it on. An Italian geologist has taken a close look at the beautiful translucent scarab in a pectoral, or necklace, found by Howard Carter among the treasures of Tutankhamen. Carter thought the scarab was carved of greenish-yellow chalcedony. However, measuring its refraction revealed to Vincenzo De Michele that the gem consists of Libyan desert glass. This is a fused natural glass, formed by cooling molten sand. It results from the ...
48. Jericho [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... there had been two Exodus events- or even the possibility that not all the Israelites had actually gone into captivity; all were offered at one time or another to explain his findings. To the west of the main site, which occupies only 12 acres, Garstang found a complete necropolis which was entirely unplundered. Among the findings were 80 scarabs bearing cartouches of Egyptian kings, the latest of whom was Amenhotep III (1413-1377, conventional dating). There was no evidence of burials after that date. This inspired one of the financiers of the dig, Charles Marston, to write that Jericho had fallen in the reign of Amenhotep III (see New Knowledge of the Old Testament ...

50. Assyrians, Sodom, and Red Herrings [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Martin Sieff It is a pleasure to see Catastrophism and Ancient History retain the proud position it has enjoyed over the past five years as the world's leading forum for the revision of ancient history. I particularly appreciate Arie Dirkzwager's two contributions (Vol. IX:1 ). Just as he paid handsome tribute to my reconstruction model outlined in "Scarab in the Dust" (Vol. VII: 2) and "The Libyans in Egypt" (Vol. VIII: 1), so I believe his work on "stretching" the end of Assyrian history, in harmony with the earlier dating for Tiglath-pileser III (c . 794 B.C .) , gives us a ...
