... to what extent iron was employed in these chariots, but there are various biblical references to iron well before the Iron Age and also there are a number of iron finds from Egypt well before the Iron Age [23].) Archaeology has shown that Hazor in the Middle Bronze Age was a major Hyksos town with typical Hyksos fortifications and scarab seals [24]. After Deborah's men had defeated the Hyksos army they pressed harder and harder on Jabin until he was destroyed (this destruction would probably be that of stratum 3 in the lower city). These Hyksos/Canaanites were not necessarily the same group that ruled Egypt about this time, since Weinstein [25] appears ...
102. A REVISED CHRONOLOGY FOR THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST [Journals] [SIS Review]
... for even a partial list of examples representative of the different kinds of anomaly in the Palestinian archaeological record. Brief mention may be made of the Egyptian styles of the XVIIIth and XIXth Dynasties echoed in the Phoenician and Israelite ivorywork of the 9th and 8th centuries, when Egyptian influence was supposedly at a low ebb, of the puzzling numbers of scarabs found "out of context" (11), of the stelae of the XIXth Dynasty from Beth-Shan supposedly saved from destruction by the inhabitants and resurrected hundreds of years later (12), of the appearance, disappearance and revival of forms and styles in art and architecture, such as the "bit hilani" form or the chambered ...

104. Sagan's Folly Part 1 [Journals] [Kronos]
... for Worlds in Collision from the record of stones and bones. Yet, astronomy once again snubs geology. Sagan (p . 20): When Sagan finally comes to "Velikovsky's Principal Hypothesis", his errors begin to mount with alarming rapidity. For example: "The Vermin described in Exodus are produced by the comet- flies and perhaps scarabs [sic] drop out of the comet, while indigenous terrestrial frogs are induced by the heat of the comet to multiply." The reader is invited to find where in Worlds in Collision Velikovsky refers to "scarabs" dropping out of the comet. It is a fabrication by Sagan, pure and simple- the product of his own ...
105. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... 1300 BC. Then came the 15th Dynasty, who originated from Cretan Phoenicia and/or Cappadocia and were the six hekau khasut of the Turin Canon said to have reigned 108 years. Both the earlier and later Hyksos ruled contemporaneously with the Egyptian 14th and 17th Dynasties. One of the Early' Hyksos was a leader named Sheshi. A scarab inscribed with his name was found at Jericho in Tomb Group V, synchronous with the fall of that city c.1407 BC. In the light of David's interpretation of the Tell el-Dab'a sequence, this scarab puts the destruction of Jericho in MB IIB. Lastly, David turned to the Turin Canon itself. This, the most important ...
106. The Archaeology of Shiloh and Pottery Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... found at Shiloh (Finkelstein 1988: p. 216). Most of the rooms showed traces of burning and were full of mud brick and stone debris (ibid, p. 217). Aside from large numbers of store jars the Israelis found in these rooms a hoard of silver and bronze including jewellery and axe heads, Hyksos' scarabs and religious items including cultic stands, small votive bowls and a zoomorphic vessel in the form of a bull' (ibid, p. 216). It was therefore suggested that there was a sanctuary nearby (on the chronology of this article it would have been the Israelite temple building). Some LB items were also found in ...

... appear to have been captured, but there are references to enemy auxiliaries of the country of Naharin. This venture closed the military activities of the pharaoh dubbed the most militarily successful of them all. But was he? Were the shortened excursions to Nuges as a result of defeat? In defense of his own chronology, Gunnar Heinsohn mentions a scarab of Thutmose III which "was found on the floor of the palace assigned to Omri and Ahab." [58] Unless one continues to press the "heirloom" argument, this scarab would have had to have been "dropped" there after the building of Samaria. This discovery and Heinsohn's approach to it are therefore supported by ...
108. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... I wrongly stated that there were to be three articles in Thijs' series - currently at No. 5!). Dodson extends his dates to the pre-Ramesses II period by a rash reliance on a dendrochronological date of c. 1300 BC from the Uluburun (southern Turkish coast) shipwreck (p . 15). The wreckage included a scarab of Nefertiti, Akhenaten's wife, which is assumed to be scrap and to indicate that Akhenaten's reign was fairly recently ended, or at least that it was beyond his Yr. 5 when Nefertiti adopted the form of name on the scarab. However, the dendro date is hardly secure, being based on a piece of dunnage (brushwood ...

112. The Hyksos (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... Manetho said about the extreme cruelty of the invaders, and compare it with the Hebrew narratives about Amalekites mutilating their prisoners by cutting off members of the body,41 the finding of an odd hand or jaw does not seem an accidental occurrence. The garrison-fortresses were places of torture. The dominion of the Amu-Hyksos was not confined to Egypt. Scarabs, or official seals, have been found in various countries, with the names of King Apop and King Khian. The name of Khian is engraved on a sphinx discovered in Baghdad and on a jar lid found at Knossos in Crete. An inscription of Apop says that "his father Seth, lord of Auaris, had set all ...
... 353 he says: There is no proposition in archaeology which can be so easily demonstrated as the assertion that the Swastika was originally a fragment of the Egyptian meander, provided Greek geometric vases are called in evidence.

Per is Egyptian for a house. Was a goat thought of as a ka-container? The German Kaefer is a beetle, and in Egypt the scarab was sacred. Scarab is another of the words based on the letters scr or sqr. THE THRESHOLD The Salii, Roman priests, performed a threshold dance [salio means I leap'].

... Circle. Now...these latter, in the Winged Globes of Western Asia, are themselves a metamorphosis of the Egyptian uraei." [60] D'Alviella later changed his mind, saying that the caduceus "has alternately been considered to be an equivalent of the Thunderbolt, a form of the Sacred Tree, a contraction of the Scarab, a combination of the solar Globe and the Crescent of the moon, and so forth." [61] "All these derivations may have some foundation in fact. I once attempted to connect it with the Winged Globe, as a mere hypothesis, to be sure...I would now be more inclined to admit ...

... there did exist an important interaction between the peoples of the Nile and Canaan. In recent years, archaeological artifacts have added further information concerning trade links between ancient Egypt and Israel. Clay bullae (impressions representing trade agreements), bearing the royal seal of Hezekiah, king of Judah, have been found marked with images of the Egyptian winged scarab, [48] which is certainly indicative of extensive Egyptian contact with the southern kingdom of Judah.

... ). The two groups differ, however, with MBI representing stunned survivors of catastrophe while the Amorites were powerful and assertive enough to dominate Babylon quickly. The Amorites, therefore, probably should be seen as MBIIA culture bearers; their pottery styles have been discovered in Byblos tombs in association with Ur III and the following Dynasty XII phase. Scarabs of Sesostris I actually occur in late MBIIA contexts, which Ward [75] finds ambiguous. Presumably this is because he feels MBIIA extends into Dynasty XIII and MBIIB-C as the Hyksos era. If the Hyksos arrived in Egypt at the end of the MBIIB-C, however, it would be necessary to conclude MBIIA at about the reign of ...

Among the pottery of "the ordinary Mycenaean and pre- Mycenaean type," gems were found. A scarab "bears the cartouche of Thi [Tiy] the queen of Amenophis [Amenhotep] III, and must therefore be placed in the same rank as those other cartouches of her and her husband, found at Ialysos [on Rhodes] and Mycenae, which hitherto have played so conspicuous a part in determining the Mycenaean antiquities as being in ...
... to be, and the remainder may well have alternative, for example, diffusionist origins," 94 it is again suggested that Sagan read his own work more carefully. Frogs, flies, vermin In his description of Velikovsky's hypothesis Sagan writes, "The vermin described in Exodus [according to Velikovsky] are produced by the comet-flies and perhaps scarabs drop out of the comet, while indigenous terrestrial frogs are induced by the heat of the comet to multiply." 95 L. M. Greenberg pointed out that, "Sagan on December 2, 1973 before a group of scientists at a NASA Ames Research Center news conference. At the later get-together, Sagan said, Velikovsky explicitly ...

... a doubtful attribution. If this is true of the skeleton, how much more is it of the flesh and blood with which we could wish it covered. Historical inscriptions of any length are as rare as the isolated islets in an imperfectly charted ocean. The importance of many kings can be guessed at merely from the number of stelae and scarabs that bear their names. It must never be forgotten that we are dealing with a civilization thousands of years old and one of which only tiny remnants have survived. What is proudly advertised as Egyptian history is merely a collection of rags and tatters" (my italics).(4 ) Later in his invaluable discussion of the foundations ...

... of Egypt under the splendid 18th dynasty. But what brought "Sphinx" with Cadmus to Greece, and why to Boeotia in particular? "According to Pisander," Velikovsky continues, "the Sphinx came to Thebes in Boeotia from Ethiopia."[3 ] And: "One object of Egyptian origin was found in Boeotia: a scarab with a winged sphinx engraved on it."[4 ] We may ask, with Velikovsky, "If the Greeks first called the Egyptian city by that name [Thebes] and later transferred the name to the city in Boeotia, what was the reason for this?"[5 ] Let us see if we can find ...
123. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... findings have amply demonstrated the close links between Horemheb and both the late XVIIIth and early XIXth Dynasties. The report of the 1977 season in pages 5-9 of JEA 64 deals mainly with the excavation of the tomb's four burial shafts. In Shaft I in the main courtyard were found two ushabtis of a Ramesside princess, Beketanta, and a heart scarab of XIXth Dynasty date. A large quantity of Mycenaean pottery was also found, of a type known as Late Helladic III A2, whose closest parallels are from el-Amarna - i.e . the short-lived capital of Akhnaton. The most striking find, however, was a gold ear-ring depicting a king as a sphinx, whose head closely ...

... sometimes a symbol of a god of a cardinal or subsidiary point. Other symbols used in like manner were the "face" symbol, the Y-shaped symbol, the "spear-head" symbol, the "four-leafed" symbol, the triangle symbol, the "double axe symbol, the "walking animal" symbol, etc. On an Egyptian scarab (the second last figure on Plate III) the U-shaped symbol is used as is the swastika on the next figure, a Trojan whorl. The Egyptian U-shaped symbol apparently represents the double serpent of the "Two Lands "that is, the serpent-goddess of the South and the serpent-goddess of the North united as one. These serpent goddesses ...
125. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Eye of Heaven [Books]
... " Glyph 10 The single and the dual ut'at Eye of Egyptian symbolism is of the utmost importance in the interpretation of the sacred lore of Egypt's past. The conclusion which I advance here is that the pair of these Eyes indicate the deities of the North and the South poles respectively (see " North and South " supra). The scarab with a green globe on his head is seen at the top of one of the 3 coffins of the librarian Shutemes. "This symbol," said E. De Rouge11 "is placed between two winged Eyes which represent the two chief divisions of the heavens, the North and South, which are reproduced on the inner sides of ...
