... search for the stratigraphically immediate Mesopotamian predecessors of the Mitanni/Hurrians ends at the Old-Akkadians. Every Assyriologist has to reject such a result since he has been taught that a 700-year-hiatus separates the Old-Akkadians from the Mitanni/Hurrians. Usually unaware of the shaky foundation s of the textbook chronology that created the hiatus in the first place - an Egyptological Sothic date for Hyksos and Mitanni but a Bible Fundamentalist Assyriological date for the Old-Akkadians - he would never consider the contemporaneity, not to mention the identity, of Hyksos and Old-Akkadians. That is why the Old-Akkadians as history's first world power' have never been taken into consideration as an alter ego of the Hyksos as the first superpower' in ...
182. Egyptian Monumental Evidence [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... time between c.1350 BC and the early 6th century BC. b). Censorinus was a Roman historian of the 3rd century AD who has provided a great deal of chronological material that has proved reliable concerning Greece and Rome in his essay Di Die Natale'. Egyptologists have used Censorinus to support the concept that the Egyptians had a Sothic cycle' and as the source of the 138 AD date from which they claim to be able to calculate near absolute star dates' for for Sesostris (III) and two 18th Dynasty' kings. However, Censorinus in Die Di Natale' made it quite clear, citing Varro (another respected Roman scholar) as authority, that ...
183. The Cambridge Conference [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... helped change the climate. However, it was admitted that no ordinary earthquake could destroy so large an area and therefore something larger needed to be considered. The hiati supposed to be at the end of the Middle Bronze Age, and the second intermediate period in Egypt are a result of a catastrophic mistake in chronology as a result of using Sothic dating. Sites such as Ugarit and Qadesh show little sign of such hiati although there is a destruction at the end of the MB, probably as the result of an earthquake. Although earthquakes today are usually localised, they appear to have been widespread throughout Palestine, Syria and Mesopotamia at this period. A final wave of destruction took ...
184. Planet of the Greeks by Meres J. Weche (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... open mind to contemplate most of the ideas. I shall mentioned some as illustrations but one has to read the book to understand how he arrives at these correlations. Quoting Diodorus, Diop and Amélineau, Weche says the first pharaohs were black from Ethiopia, known as Anu, the old name for Heliopolis. The 365 day calendar and the Sothic 1460 year cycle was known to the 1st Dynasty and before. Weche suggests that significant dates, 1460 years apart were BC 33, 1493, 2953 and 4413; this last being the earliest occurrence of an observation of the heliacal rising of Sirius. 2953BC heralded reunification of Egypt and the 1st Dynasty. The next section describes in detail ...
185. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... fleeing Israelites. According to Jonathan Grey, one of Wyatt's collaborators, in an article titled In Search of Pharaoh's Lost Army' (published April-June 2001 by the Ensign Trust), Wyatt's chariot wheels (an assortment of 4, 6 and 8-spoked wheels) have been authoritatively dated to the 18th Egyptian Dynasty. Conventional chronology which derives largely from Sothic period calculations [and from Manetho] dates the 18th Dynasty as commencing c. 1575 BC (A . Gardiner's Egypt of the Pharaohs, p. 443), which is a full 100 years earlier than the Exodus (c . 1450 BC by both conventional and revised chronologies) and is thus consistent with Wyatt's claims. Most revised ...
186. Shoshenq and Shishak: A Case of Mistaken Identity [Journals] [SIS Review]
... by both Africanus and Eusebius. The only question was whether Egyptian chronology, refined by the translated monumental inscriptions, would confirm the identity of Shoshenq/Sesonch(os)is with the biblical Shishak. Poole worked in essentially the same way that Prichard had done earlier, moving back from a fixed point. Poole also made some reference to Sothic dating in relation to earlier dynasties [63], but he did not employ it to discover absolute dates. Indeed, he remained wary of an astronomical approach, remarking: ". .. What we may term the recorded observations of the monuments cannot be used for the determination of chronology without a previous knowledge of Egyptian astronomy that ...
187. Chronological Problems in the Archaeology of the Hittites [Journals] [SIS Review]
... suggested by Velikovsky, and I would like to submit the hypothesis that a revised chronology along the lines suggested in Ages in Chaos might resolve the above-mentioned archaeological difficulties and present us with a much clearer picture of Hittite history than that afforded by the conventional Sothic-based chronology of Egypt and the Near East. Professor Roy will be discussing the limitations of Sothic dating later in this Conference. But I would also like to point out at this stage that I am at variance with Velikovsky regarding precisely how a revised chronology could be reconstructed. In his forthcoming volume on Ramses II and His Time Velikovsky will present his case for dating Ramesses II and the XIXth Dynasty to the late 7th and early ...

... Sun, will take place on the first day of a month, and four years later it will take place on the second. The cycle will be complete and Sirius will have a helical rising again on the first day of the month in question, after 1460 years. 41. R. D. Long, A Re-examination of the Sothic Chronology of Egypt, ' (Orientalis, 1974), pp. 261-262. 42. See footnote 39 above. 43. I read this when I studied the Old Testament as an undergraduate, but cannot now identify the source. 44. I Samuel p. 15. 45. Velikovsky, Ages in Chaos (London: Sidgwick ...
189. In Response to Mitcham's "Critique" [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Hence this opportunity is taken to point out why this concept of a 430-year sojourn in Egypt is not supported by the Bible. To scholars who reject per se any statements of Scripture that do not agree with their theories, the 430-year figure has served well to give Mesopotamian chronology an unwarranted antiquity for Hammurabi, just as the application of the Sothic theory has provided a similar basis for an unwarranted antiquity for Dynasty XII in Egypt. If Scripture is to be used at all in chronological studies, it should be allowed to interpret itself. And when this is done the period emerges as 215, not 430 years. This follows from clearly stated data. The period of servitude was ...
190. A Reply to Stiebing [Journals] [Pensee]
... nature of the catastrophe that served as an opening for Worlds in Collision, as is told in the preface to the latter. In my article "Astronomy and Chronology," intended as a supplement to Peoples of the Sea (one of the sequel volumes), I wrote: "But purposely I undertook to probe the validity of the Sothic period [and thus the foundation of the orthodox chronology] without recourse to the arguments rooted in my other books." It is also not reasonable to "prove" my reconstruction wrong because of my not adhering to the dates that my work is called for to overthrow, a work in which literary contemporary documents, but also mute ...
