... alignments of the Great Pyramid and of megalithic stone circles is one of the strongest arguments against a full acceptance of Velikovsky's ideas, and it would be useful to have some informed debate on this topic. One would also expect Tompkins to be aware of the existence of a serious challenge to the traditional Egyptian chronology, and yet he refers to Sothic cycles as if their reality were beyond question. But this apart, Stecchini's work is most impressive, and one feels that it would have justified expansion to form a book in its own right. The research set out by A. E. Berriman in his book, Historical Metrology (now unfortunately out of print for some years) ...
142. The Genesis of Israel and Egypt [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . The literary evidence is supported by archaeology and elucidated by it. Therefore the millennium which, in conventional chronology, separates Abraham from Menes is an illusion and the entire history of the ancient world is utterly distorted. The ancient world's chronology is based on a fallacy and needs to be completely reconstructed. Removing Egyptian chronology from the straightjacket of Sothic dating and bringing it forward by a number of centuries produce spectacular results. Firstly, the culture-bearing migration from Mesopotamia to Egypt at the dawn of history, which the Hebrews recalled in the story of Abraham, now takes its rightful place. A few generations after Abraham, according to the Scriptures, the Israelites moved into Egypt after one ...
143. Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... (of which Aaronson is one) can only view Bur-Sagale's eclipse (shamash atalu) with extreme suspicion. The whole thing is just too neat, and too comfortably uniformitarian. It must be remembered that the astronomical foundations of Assyrian chronology were being established at the same time as the astronomical foundations of Egyptian chronology - erected upon the now discredited Sothic calendar. Bearing this in mind, we can only look favourably upon Aaronson's assertion that it is the Eponym Canon, and not the Scriptures, that is corrupt. The history of Mesopotamia is indeed utterly chaotic. Much evidence exists, for example, to suggest that all of the Middle Assyrian kings (whose reigns form the earlier part ...
144. Velikovsky's 360 days/year calendar [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... p .13) made no adjustment for the additional quarter of a day each year... Hence their civil and astronomical calenders were gradually moving out of synchronisation and could bring about extremes of dating between the two. Eventually every 1460 years, the two calenders coincided and were correct for a short time. ' He then gives the Sothic dates (at which Sirius helically rose on the first day of the civil calender as it was supposed to) as 2773 BC, 1317 BC and 139 AD. More importantly he gives two examples in a side bar on page 12 of how badly the calender went out of sync: One inscription from the reign of Amememhet III ( ...

... the time, with an average error of only one second per year, by doing the following: a. count normal years of 365 days (associated numbers 360 + 5 = 30 12 + 5 = 20 18 + 5 = (72 + 1)5 etc.), b. each 4 years add 1 day(associated sothic' number 365 4+ 1 = 1461 days), c. each 32 cycles of 4 years (4 32 = 128), drop 1 day(associated numbers 1461 32 - 1 = 46,751 days), d. each 675 cycles of 128 years add 1 day (associated numbers 675 4 32 = 1600 54 ...
146. Heinsohn's Revised Chronology & Lynn Rose's Retrocalculations [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... not a radical act to let the air out of an inflated chronology. The final analysis hasn't been made yet, but so far Heinsohn's revisions work just fine. You have to give up imaginary "Sumerians" and "Mitanni" and start dealing with real Chaldeans and Medes. And you have to give up "dark ages," Sothic dating, strange gaps in the record, and the romance of Biblical chronology. From: Chris Marx ( pakaf@1 .LOL.li) Date: Sun, 16 Mar 1997 22:05:15 + 0100 The fact that belief in C14 & dendro dating (beyond the beginning of Modern Age some 650 years ago) ...
147. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... much of similar name groups and uses this principle to outline several dynasties' of sub rulers existing alongside the late 12th Dynasty and subject to it but entitled to write their names in royal cartouches. He argues various reasons why the Turin Papyrus, Manetho, and the Memphite Genealogy are unreliable. He is also forced to reject to some extent Sothic Dating after having previously written a book proving' it to be true (Chronologie egyptienne [Paris, 1926, 1928]). He refers frequently to evidence from his earlier book la fin du Moyen Empire... This book adopted the then (1918) recently established short' chronology of over 200 years for the period between ...
148. On the Survival of Velikovsky's Thesis in 'Ages in Chaos' [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... over the twenty years since publication. It is here contended that this is the only feasible placement of the Israelite conquest and that there is little hope of attaining solutions to related problems short of first correcting these mistakes made in setting up the traditional chronology of the early dynasties. Placing the Hyksos in Dynasty XIII Even prior to adoption of this sothic dating scheme in the late era of the nineteenth century, the problem of placing the Hyksos invasion in relation to Dynasty XIII had become a "bone of contention." The view had long been entertained that the Hyksos invasion marked the beginning of Dynasty XIII. This becomes a matter of peculiar significance to the survival of Velikovsky's thesis since ...
149. The Genesis of Israel and Egypt by Emmett Sweeney [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Dynasty were no more than (Asiatic) lords of the Delta'. Lastly, the period of The Judges is discussed and Hercules emerges as the alter ego of Samson. In a final Epilogue, Sweeney builds on these identifications and the work of Velikovsky to produce his own revision of ancient history, unshackled by the constraints of the discredited Sothic dating system, or of any other dating system for that matter. A forthcoming work on the Neo-Assyrian kingdom is also promised. This is sketched in outline for us and leads to equally radical chronological revision. As a taster, Tiglath-Pileser III and Shalmanesser V are argued to be the Assyrian alter egos of Cyrus and Cambyses respectively. With ...
150. Of Lessons, Legacies, and Litmus Tests: A Velikovsky Potpourri (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... that the first visibility of Venus is delayed, perhaps inordinately. 13. A new wrinkle in Venus Tablet studies has presented itself. Reading from Rose's manuscript Sun, Moon and Sothis at the C.S .I .S . meeting at Haliburton, Ontario on August 26, 1992, Clark Whelton disclosed that Rose intends to remove one Sothic period from Egyptian chronology. Consequently, Ammisaduqa's Year 1 of 1701 BCE becomes 357 BCE which is Year 1 for both Artaxerxes III Okhos and Ashurbanipal in Gunnar Heinsohn's chronological compression. Significantly, since 357 BCE is not an integer multiple of 219 years after any of the previously evaluated Year 1's for Ammisaduqa in the second millennium, this drastic ...
