... [the lion-hunt] scene on a Ramessid temple-wall suggests with much probability that the composition is older and was in all likelihood not uncommon on the walls of the XVIIIth Dynasty temples. The lionhunting Amenhotep III is hardly likely to have omitted from his temple-walls similar scenes disclosing his prowess against the lions, which he was so fond of recording on scarabs and distributing among his favourites. The sculptors of Ramses III have here revealed to us another important illustration of what we have lost in the destruction of the XVIIIth Dynasty temples, not to mention the Ramesseum, which was in all probability similarly embellished."(19) Is this not a clear-cut example of sheer guesswork and a case ...

153. The Nature of the Historical Record [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the only materials available to the ancient historian, however, in his efforts to establish sequences of events and to construct a coherent chronological framework. Scientific archaeological techniques have revealed the existence of layers of occupation at various sites, distinguished by the form of construction used and by the presence of artifacts - pottery, weapons, implements, jewellery and scarabs. It is possible not only to establish the sequence in which such objects were in use at a particular site, but also, mainly on the basis of changes in pottery styles, to show that levels of occupation at different sites were roughly contemporary. For example it is generally accepted that the casemate walls and chambered gates of the ...
... by authors writing in Greek.1 The Hyksos kings were pharaohs of the Fourteenth to the Seventeenth Dynasties and they ruled over Egypt without mercy;2 it is not know of what race they were. 1: The name Hyksos as"rulers of foreign countries" is found in the Egyptian text of the Turino Papyrus and on a few scarabs. 2: The Seventeenth Dynasty is generally regarded as the native dynasty of princes in submission to, and then in revolt against, the last kings of the Sixteenth, the Hyksos, Dynasty. But in Manetho's list, as given by Julius Africanus and Eusebius, the Seventeenth Dynasty is the last of the Hyksos. 6. The ...

... laugh here] Sagan went on to describe how this apparent misguided fundamentalist could explain all the miracles of the Hebrew Bible by having the planet Venus just explode out of Jupiter on supernatural cue and just happen to come whizzing by at the most opportune moments, ejecting all sorts of the most ridiculous things on cue- one recalls the frogs, scarabs, fried flies and similar nonsense that only "Sagan on a Wednesday" is known for. In fact, many portions of his anti-Velikovsky monologue almost sounded rehearsed; I suspect it was mostly a series of excerpts almost verbatim from his standard class lecture [presented in written form in THE VELIKOVSKIAN, Vol. I, No. 3 ...

... young for the conventional chronology, even with the Suess adjustment. On the other hand, their agreement with Velikovsky's reconstruction is quite acceptable. XlXth Dynasty The next group of samples, P-712, P-714, and P-716, represent charred human bones, charcoal, and charred palm wood, respectively, from Soleb Tomb 32. The finding of a scarab of Ramses II with these samples provides the basis on which they are identified as belonging to the XIXth Dynasty. Sample R-36 is wood from an anonymous tomb of the Ramses II period. With the Suess correction the C-14 dates of these samples agree fairly well with the conventional chronology; without the correction they are too young. On the ...

... unoccupied had been, as it was subsequently realized, once occupied by a comrade-in-arms and probably a relative of Psusennes. He was removed to prepare room for somebody of a subsequent generation but the project was not carried out. It is quite certain that the latest arrangements in the tomb and its chambers were the work of Si-Amon; an inscribed scarab with his name was found in the vestibule.[16] The tomb with its vestibule and four chambers is far smaller than the royal tombs of Thebes: Psusennes, most certainly, looked for an unobtrusive but well-protected place to hide his mortal remains, knowing from his own practice that his body, in the days to come, ...

... and these show a single horn (L . Störk: Die Nashörner, Verlag Borg GmbH: Hamburg, 1977, pp. 194-200). Since one would expect the hieroglyphs to depict an animal known locally, these suggest the one time existence of a one-horned species in N. E. Africa. Also of interest is a New Kingdom scarab showing a Pharaoh killing an Oryx and a one-horned rhinoceros. R Giveon: The Impact of Egypton Canaan, Universitätsverlag Freiburg Schweiz, 1978, p.82, suggests that this commemorates Tuthmosis III's famous exploit of killing a rhinoceros during a campaign in Nubia. If correct, this is further evidence that the one-horned species once inhabited N. ...
... . These centuries, between the Mycenaean and the Ionic (Greek) periods, are unreal: they resulted from the dependence of the Mycenaean timing on Egyptian chronology- the same situation that we found in Asia Minor. There the treaty with Ramses II in Hattusas (Boghazkoi) brought the world of historians to conclusions similar to those occasioned by the scarabs of the Eighteenth Dynasty kings and queens found in the tombs of Mycenae. The Dark Age of Anatolia (Asia Minor) was seen by H. Frankfort, an art historian, as extended toward the countries in the East.8 Akurgal, however, pointed toward Carchemish on the Euphrates as the place where a continuous occupation could be ...
... Babylonian period." (p .6 ) Dayton observes that Petrie, "one of the pioneers of Egyptian archaeology and on whose work in the 1890s so much modern chronology rested, had had a fatal idee__fi_xe of a high chronology and had, on scanty evidence and in the face oi= an XVIIIth Dynasty scarab, dated all the objects in the deposits of, Abydos and Hierakonpolis to the Ist Dynasty or earlier, thus causing much of the archaeology of the Near East that has been built up on the evidence of the important objects in these deposits to be founded on a profound error."

... the Israelites!) The need for brevity in our Workshop summary article unfortunately obscures the complexity of the problem. Hyksos, strictly speaking, is not an ethnic but a political term, describing the domination of Egypt during the SIP by hikau khasut, "rulers of foreign countries" as three of the "Hyksos" Pharaohs called themselves on scarabs. Amalekites is an ethnic name for a specific Arabian tribe, who, we follow Velikovsky in suggesting, were the force that formed the Hyksos Dynasty in Egypt. (There may well have been other elements, however, including some from the Aegean.) If, after the SIP, we should continue to understand the terms hikau ...

... and iron's reputation rests partly on its properties as a conductor of electricity and for its magnetic associations. The human soul may suffer many transmutations on its way to the stars, where Plato, for one, placed its origin, mounting each soul on a star as if on a chariot, as we see in his dialogue Timaeus. The scarab may be another link between earth and sky. Karabos, or skarabos, Latin scarabaeus, is a stag beetle, so named in English because of its remarkable horns, such as the ancients claimed to have seen on an object in the sky. More details of the resurrection technique are given in the later chapter on sanctification and resurrection ...

... Velikovsky suggested. It is also interesting to note that Seth's attire from this time onward was typically foreign, with a kilt identical to that of some Aamu and of the soldiers of the Peoples of the Sea during the Ramesside period. The Hyksos kings soon became Egyptianised as is clear from their cultural remains, ranging from pharaonic style statues to scarabs with their names inscribed in hieroglyphs. What would be more natural than one of these rulers founding a temple to the Egyptian god Seth as part of this process of adoption? We even have a record of just such a dedication in the story of a Theban king called Seqenenre who ruled in Southern Egypt while the North lay in the ...

... can be no doubt", Elliot Smith says, "that the symbolism of the Mycenaean spiral and the volute is closely related to the octopus. In fact, the evidence provided by Minoan paintings and Mycenaean decorative art demonstrates that the spiral as a symbol of life-giving was definitely derived from the octopus. The use of the volute on Egyptian scarabs and also in the decoration of an early Thracian statuette of a nude goddess indicate that it was employed like the spiral and octopus as a life symbol".

The start of the Aegean Late Bronze Age is put back a century, a huge mound in Turkey thought to be the tomb of King Midas contains wood from trees cut down in 718BC, wood in a shipwreck containing a scarab of Nefertiti is dated at 1316BC, conveniently confirming standard Egyptian chronology, and the Thera eruption happened in 1628 BC. However, the dates were determined by radiocarbon dating, matching two blips with volcanic eruptions, the 1628BC being designated as Thera and 1159 BC being associated with an eruption in Iceland.

I have checked as many of them as I can think of, including some of the archeological matters. There are scarabs of these kings. You have to find where they've been found; what layers they're in.

A man may very well quite firmly believe a proposition, and yet be quite clear what state of affairs would tell against the proposition; he may even acknowledge that there are states of affairs which do tell against it. It is easy to think of findings that would tell heavily against Velikovsky's historical thesis; a sufficient number of Egyptian scarabs at the "right" levels in Israel, radiocarbon dating of a fair amount of Egyptian New Kingdom material which would show the result already mentioned to be "wild", or astronomical records from before the eight century B.C . which placed the planets roughly in the position that would be expected from our observations of them at ...

... Palestinian archaeology as Middle Bronze II B and C. As a forthcoming article in the S.I .S . Review would show, this synchronism is put in question by the fact that MB II B and C strata shown an abundance of artefacts from the Middle Kingdom (Dynasties XII and XIII), whilst the so-called "Hyksos" scarabs found in these strata cannot be positively identified as such. However, except for Ai, all the Palestinian cities mentioned in the Biblical narrative of the Conquest existed at the end of MB II. Moreover, where the Bible stated that the city was destroyed, a destruction level appeared in the appropriate stratum; where it was spared, ...
