... in LB, and says that Joshua destroyed the MB town. I believe that Garstang identified the correct walls but he called them LB. Kenyon correctly established that these walls were Early Bronze, not Late Bronze. She tried to minimise any LB occupation, presumably to deny Joshua anything to conquer. There are some LB remains, pottery and scarabs, and they tend to be rather mixed with MB remains. A major aspect of the recent debate between Wood and Bienkowski centres on whether there is any LBI pottery since this is the period for the town on Wood's scheme. I get the impression that Bienkowski is more right than Wood on this point, but who or what destroyed ...
177. EARLY GLASSMAKING AND CHRONOLOGICAL PUZZLES [Journals] [Aeon]
... is now provided with chronological support.(116) The political background behind this vast spread of a very sophisticated craft- from Crete to Iran- is provided by the Assyrian Empire from -750 to -610, with control of Egypt (as Hyksos) and Cyprus and tribute from Anatolia's King Midas as well as from Crete, where a Hyksos scarab was also found. From the later period of this powerful Assyrian nation come the glass recipes of the library Ashurbanipal (alter ego of the Hyksos Apophis) at Nineveh. They are contemporaneous with the Akkadian glass of, e.g ., Eshnunna whose similarity with late Assyrian glass- such as the famous green bottle incised with Sargon's ...

179. 'Peoples of the Sea': An Art Historical Perspective [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of [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 XVIIIth Dynasty temples. The lion-hunting 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 ...
180. Science, Technology and the Chronology of the Ancient World [Journals] [Aeon]
... by Assyrian merchants into Anatolia and elsewhere. Trading links between Egypt and the Levant were also well established by the start of the second millennium BC. A shipwreck off Ulu Burum, on the southwest coast of Asia Minor, dated at 1350 BC, has revealed a cargo including ingots of tin, ingots of copper, ceramics from Cyprus, scarabs from Egypt, cylinder seals from the Near East, and ebony, ivory, and hippopotamus teeth from Africa. [51] How, then, can Ginenthal sustain his claim that conventional history provides no plausible reason for thinking that tin reached Egypt before 1100 BC? On a different topic, but again using information taken from Dayton's book ...

... Tell el-Daba was abandoned after Str. D/2 . It is only a minor area, at the Pelusian branch of the Nile, where some settlement continues on a very restricted scale. The ceramic material from this settlement is different from Str. D/2 , and the restricted early 18th dynasty settlement is well dated by numerous royal scarabs. See also the forthcoming report in Agyptenund Levante V by P. Janosi'. c) A few months later in a lecture at the September 1995 Seventh International Congress of Egyptologists' in Cambridge, Prof Bietak made the surprise announcement that he had redated the palace platform in area H/I from the Hyksos period to the New ...
182. Minerals, Metals, Glazing and Man, by John Dayton, Reviewed by Geoffrey Gammon [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... "Great Hyksos" of Manetho's XVth Dynasty and the occupants of the six Shaft Graves of Mycenae. He rejects the Egyptian view of them as impious vandals and regards them rather as innovators of the new technology they transmitted to Egypt and the Near East. He credits them, inter alia, with introducing the composite bow, board games, scarabs in glazed steatite, anthropoid coffins, and the use of niello.15 It seems clear that Dayton has fallen victim to the common error, perpetuated in countless books and articles on the archaeology and history of the ancient Near East, of associating the Hyksos with the highly developed material culture of Middle Bronze IIB-C As John Bimson has demonstrated ...

... other sources to be regarded as a heretic by his successors, was often excluded. On the other hand, some kings not mentioned by Manetho were found in the king lists. Another important source of information was pottery. In particular, the archaeologist William Flinders Petrie established long sequences of pottery-styles linked to written records, e.g . scarabs marked with a king's name [8 ]. From all these various bits and pieces, a chronology for ancient Egypt eventually became established. Generally, this was based on the framework of Manetho's sequence of dynasties, in the same numerical order, but it became accepted that there had been three periods of unrest, termed Intermediate Periods' ...
184. The Timna Test [Journals] [Aeon]
... pre-Ramesside stratigraphical sequence. Let us follow Rothenberg's expose: "The study of the pottery established a late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age date for Site 2, the lowest possible absolute date being the twelfth century BC. The few datable finds, especially the early type toggle-pin and the spear-butt, correspond well with this dating, whilst the two Ramesses II scarabs indicate a thirteenth century BC date. The copper works at Site 2 [the a-typical excavation] are, therefore, dated to the thirteenth to twelfth centuries BC" [27] The Early Iron Age of Palestine is correlated with the United Monarchy under Saul, David, and Solomon yet, because of the dislocation created by conventional Egyptian ...
185. A Return to the Two Sargons and Their Successors [Journals] [Aeon]
... the foreign-sounding- that is un-Egyptian- name of this headless likeness that Egyptologists first concluded this king must have belonged to the Hyksos race or nation. The same name was later recognized on a "sphinx" that was discovered in Baghdad as well as on the afore-mentioned jar lid which came to light at Knossos in Crete. Finally, when scarabs of the Hyksos kings became better known, the name Khyan was again found on one of them. To clinch the matter, the title of hekh-khos or hikau khasut- "ruler of foreign lands"- was borne by Khyan. Nothing much, however, is known about this king (least of all that he conquered Egypt) ...

... destroyed by Joshua, around 1400 B.C . Then followed a long gap in occupation [Joshua cursed whoever should try to rebuild the city.] In the time of David a settlement of some kind was established on the site, though this was very small and no traces of it have been found on the mound, pottery and scarab from Tomb 5 being the only indication of its existence. A proper town .. . was rebuilt in the Amarna period, ninth century B.C .. . The blast must have included cosmic electricity as well as seismism, because one excavator, John Garstang, found plenty of evidence of intense fires; storerooms were burned; ...

The Denderah planisphere located here the zodiacal Crab, but whether by design, or in error, is unknown; although some see in the Lesser Lion's stars, with others from the Bear's feet, a well-marked Scarab that was Egypt's idea of Cancer. This was in a part of the sky thought to have been sacred to the great god Ptah. Fl. 46, 4. To the lucida Hevelius applied the adjective Praeoipua, Chief, which Piazzi inserted as a proper name in the Palermo Catalogue. Burritt mentioned it, under the letter I ...

... "Horus accepts him at his two fingers." [99] Alternatively, after Shu and Tefnut (Mars and Venus) were "born," they were "protected by their father, for we are told that he held them in his embrace, shielding them from harm." [100] An auxiliary use of the famous scarab beetle amulets was to reconstitute the deceased's jaws and mouth, while the two arms of these beetles where synonymous with the arms of Horus. Likewise, the head of the res-urrection god Khepri was depicted as a beetle with outstretched arms. [101] Neighbouring civilizations described their Saturnian sun gods in different ways, but the "picture" ...

... (" pest gods" in Babylon) with the powers of a local god to help cure the sick. In Egypt, little hawk figures imbued with Horus supposedly worked against snakebite- possibly a nod toward the myth concerning the defeat of the evil serpent Apep. [114] The famous little servant or deputy figurines (second only to scarabs in quantity found) known as shabti(s ) or Ushebte(s ) (the answerers, because they answered the call to work in place of their master!) also underwent the rite before being placed in the burial chamber. They would either be placed in a niche in the north wall or housed in a vertically-striped upright ...
