... 40-41, emphasis added). [Note that the archaeologists are still resorting to a favorite device, particularly of the astronomers- unwarranted retrocalculation, based upon presently observed phenomena, in order to draw conclusions about the past. This is especially disconcerting, since the scholarly world has evidently not yet learned its lesson from the effects of the "Sothic Period," itself a combinative product of modern scholastic invention and retroactive assumption.] Aside from chronological discrepancies, there is also the not-so small problem of the "Queen of Sheba's" 1,400 mile caravan trek. In this matter, the words of de Camp are echoed by Gus van Beek, author of the above Sheban ...
132. Problems With The Morning Star [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... , and the defeated Quetzalcoatl is expelled to the east[20]. The expulsion of Quetzalcoatl to the east, to rise as the Morning Star, is a recurrent theme. Yet in one case it is accepted by historians as an historical event which is used for a reconstruction of Mesoamerican history with an astronomical basis as precarious as the Sothic cycle is for dating ancient Egyptian history. The Vienna Codex tells a lengthy tale starting with the creation of the world and ending with a line of High Chiefs of the Toltecs, all bearing the holy name Quetzalcoatl. This dynasty is founded by a legendary figure, Quetzalcoatl, who is taken by historians to be "rather like the ...
133. Venus And Sirius [Journals] [Kronos]
... Elam and Istar of Babylon are also defined as the Bow Star, or Sirius. This link of the Venus festival with Sirius persisted until the Middle Ages among the Harranians.(12) The celebration of the Assyrian and Harranian festivals to Venus when Sirius was rising heliacally should not be neglected by students of the Canopus Decree, and of Sothic chronology.

... would well fit into one and the same Mitanni stratum. In the Bible the two leaders are some 400 pious years apart. Neither the Biblical date of Joshua nor David would be taken at face value. Rather the identification of the Mitanni - found two strata groups beneath Hellenistic strata [Mitanni - Middle to Late Assyrians - Hellenism] and Sothic dated to the -15th/14th c., with the Medes ruling the Ancient Near East two periods before Hellenism [Medes - Early to Late Achaemenids - Macedonian Hellenists] would bring the historical elements of the Joshua and David stories into the -7th/6th century. My method also allowed me a fresh look at the Solomon material. ...
135. Chronology And Cosmic Catastrophism [Books]
... which has so long divided archaeologists and chronologists about the absolute dating of the 1st dynasty of Babylon (that of Hammurabi) which ended in the abandonment of the astronomical computation for the Middle East, where it is not tied to the Egyptian astronomical chronology.10 In the latter country, many results show conflict between the archaeological findings and the sothic (astronomical) computation. In the light of the Theory of Impact, the Egyptian astronomical chronology is wrong, as will be demonstrated in a subsequent work. NOTES AND REFERENCES 1. Some nations have used, and only recently abandoned, a calendar which was incorrect in relatively narrow limits. Others still use a `sliding calendar' ...
136. Horizons [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . Reliance on retrocalculation as a means of quantifying the historic past. This reliance takes two forms, one astronomic and the other physio-chemical. Astronomic retrocalculation, in turn, also takes two forms: the back-dating of eclipses, on the assumption - contradicted by early writings - that the ancient sky was identical with our own; and employment of Sothic' dating, based on the dubious assumption that the celestial body which the Egyptians called Sopdet and the Greeks Hellenised as Sothis was in fact the star Sirius. Physio-chemical retrocalculation takes the primary form of radiocarbon dating, based on the assumption that the electro-chemical characteristics of Earth's atmosphere and biosphere have been relatively constant for at least 40,000 ...

... at 35 , which Gilbert worked out would be illuminated by the sun on 29th July 98BC, when the sun would be in conjunction with Regulus, the brightest star in Leo. It was also the day of the first heliacal rising of Sirius after 70 days invisibility. Gilbert says Antiochus was setting up a new calendar connected to the Egyptian Sothic one and that he was familiar with and possibly initiated into Hermetic Mysteries. Much later in the century, his son Antiochus II would have been very interested in celestial phenomena at this time of the year. It so happens that on 29th July 7BC, at the start of their new year, the conjunction between the two largest planets ...
140. Assyria, Karduniash, Babylon: A Rational chronology [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Babylonian/Assyrian and internal Egyptian dates. Concerning the time period between Neferhotep and the Hyksos invasion there is much debate within revised chronology circles, with Manetho's statements under some doubt.(8 ) Even taking such discussion into account, the Hyksos period remains about 400 years- not 200 or 170, as conventional scholars maintain, using Egyptian sothic dating as their anchor. The main point of this analysis is that Velikovsky reached the 400-450 year figure for the Hyksos era using biblical data, and we have reached the same conclusion using the Assyrian chronology. The fact that there is very little direct contact between Assyria and Egypt is, of course, the cause of the whole misunderstanding-conventional ...
