... , the only way of placing the death of Ahab at Ramoth-Gilead some years later than the battle of Karkar would be to accept the suggestion put forward by William H. Shea (" Adad-nirari III and Jehoash of Israel," JCS, Vol. 30, 112-13), wherein the Judaean queen Athaliah is proposed as ruling during the first seven years of Joash's 40 years. At the same time in Israel there would have been a seven-year coregency, either between Jehu and Jehoahaz, or alternatively between Jehoahaz and Jehoash. However, acceptance of such a scenario would in turn depend in part upon the identity of the Israelite king- Yaw, son of Omri- from whom Shalmaneser ...
222. "This Was Oedipus". Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... be written, was composed twenty-two years after Sophocles wrote Oedipus Rex, the first in historical sequence, and thirty-seven years after he wrote Antigone, the last part of the trilogy. When he was writing Oedipus at Colonus, Sophocles was nearing his ninetieth birthday and death. Although he wrote some one hundred and twenty plays, of which only seven are extant, his favorite hero occupied his mind before he died. Possibly he even felt some affinity between the unhappy "plaything of the gods" and himself; Sophocles chose Colonus for an obvious reason: this village was his own birthplace. I imagine also - and find that the same thought has already occurred to earlier scholars - ...
... they had such a confidence in the situation of the place, that they thought the enemy could not be too many for them; for the city had been filled with those that had fled to it for safety, on account of its strength; on which account they had been able to resist those whom Agrippa sent to besiege it for seven months together. 3. But Vespasian removed from Emmaus, where he had last pitched his camp before the city Tiberias, (now Emmaus, if it be interpreted, may be rendered "a warm bath," for therein is a spring of warm water, useful for healing,) and came to Gamala; yet was its ...
224. Pot Pourri [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to produce calcium carbonate, explaining the geological anomaly noted above. (No allowance seems to be made for water vapour produced in the eruptions; presumably this would delay, but not prevent, temperature build-up.) This model is one way of explaining the visible geology - it is now up to the sceptics to provide alternative models. Eve's Seven Daughters According to Prof. Brian Sykes (The Seven Daughters of Eve, Transworld Publishers, London, 2001), the DNA of more than 95% of modern Europeans can be traced back to seven common ancestors, the most distant living 45,000yrs ago, the most recent 10,000yrs ago. 33 clans of homo sapiens ...
225. A Re-examination of the Sothic Chronology of Egypt [Journals] [Kronos]
... second millennium B.C . often date approximately five centuries too early based on astronomical dating. This is a serious discrepancy which not even Suess calibration explains.(1 ) The amount of C-14 available is influenced by geography, and this places doubt on the accuracy of the method.* Thus, it is important that we investigate the seven astronomical benchmarks listed in Table I. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the records and comment on their contribution to absolute dating. [* See I. Velikovsky, "The PitfaUs of Radiocarbon Dating", Pensee IV (Spring-Summer, 1973 pp. 12ff.- The Ed ] Egypt possessed a 365 day civil calendar ...
226. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... united. The axis marked the optical centre of heaven and earth. The axis was the first thing that existed in the darkness. The mythical god, hero or ancestor travelled up and down along the axis. The axis emitted a rutilant, luminous glow. The axis was formed of water, wind or fire. The axis consisted of seven to nine superimposed segments. The axis was spinning. The axis assumed the form of a cone. The axis' top and bottom extremities were bifurcated. One or two spirals coiled round the axis, producing seven to nine windings. Seven to nine concentric rings formed round the axis. The axis was hollow inside. The axis was ...
227. From the Great Extremity to which the Jews were reduced to the taking of Jerusalem by Titus [Books]
... of the Idumeans, James and Simon, the latter of whom was the son of Cathlas, and James was the son of Sosas; of those that were with John, Gyphtheus and Alexas; and of the zealots, Simon the son of Jairus. 7. In the mean time, the rest of the Roman army had, in seven days' time, overthrown [some] foundations of the tower of Antonia, and had made a ready and broad way to the temple. Then did the legions come near the first court, (12) and began to raise their banks. The one bank was over against the north-west corner of the inner temple (13) ...
... and took up a resolution to go to Rome by sea. And as he was accompanied by two legions, he sent each of them again to the places whence they had before come; the fifth he sent to Mysia, and the fifteenth to Pannonia: as for the leaders of the captives, Simon and John, with the other seven hundred men, whom he had selected out of the rest as being eminently tall and handsome of body, he gave order that they should be soon carried to Italy, as resolving to produce them in his triumph. So when he had had a prosperous voyage to his mind, the city of Rome behaved itself in his reception, ...
229. The Feast Of Light. Ch.3 In Fear And Trembling (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... of the Babylonians. The age of Cronos was the Golden Age; it came to its end in the universal Deluge. The seventeenth day of Tammuz (June-July) was the first day of lamentations that continued for weeks. The seventeenth day of the month also plays a conspicuous role in the story of the Deluge. The "light of seven days" of which Isaiah speaks (Isaiah 30:26) refers, in my understanding, to the "seven days" just before the beginning of the Deluge (Genesis 7:4 ). The whole world was brilliantly lit: Saturn flared as a nova. Its light was unbearably bright (" like that of a hundred ...
230. Corals Of The Polar Regions. Ch.4 Ice (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... the continent is covered with ice that in some places descends into the ocean. E. H. Shackleton, during his expedition to Antarctica in 1907-9, found fossil wood in the sandstone of a moraine at latitude 85o 5'. He also found erratic boulders of granite on the slopes of Mount Erebus, a volcano. Then he discovered seven seams of coal, also at about latitude 85o. The seams are each between three and seven feet thick. Associated with the coal is sandstone containing coniferous wood.5 Antarctica, too, must have had great forests in the past. It often appears that the historian of climate has chosen a field as hard to master as it ...
