... site that he discussed are found artefacts from several dynasties from the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. The archaeological contradictions to the established chronology could not be more destructive to that chronology and more supportive and corroborative of Rose's, Heinsohn's, Sweeney's, and in part to Velikovsky's highly shortened chronologies. This evidence taken together with Sphinx erosion, Sothic dating, radiocarbon dating, and pottery dating once again points in the same direction — to a highly shortened chronology. On the basis of archaeology, the long chronology of Egypt and the rest of the Near East cannot be sustained. One final note before moving on. How did the Egyptological establishment deal with Dayton and his revolutionary scientific-empirical ...
192. Eastern Anatolia and Velikovsky's Chronological Revisions - II [Journals] [Kronos]
... Egyptian chronology, cf. Immanuel Velikovsky, "Astronomy and Chronology, " in Peoples of the Sea (New York, 1977), pp. 205-244; also Lewis M. Greenberg "Astronomy and Chronology: an Assessment" (KRONOS II:4 , p. 88) and Ronald D. Long, "A Re-examination of the Sothic Chronology of Egypt", (Ibid., pp. 89-101). For a concise explanation of the pillars supporting the conventional chronology cf. C. W. Ceram, The Secret of the Hittites (New York, 1956). In preparing this article the author has had the good fortune to have had the editorial and referential ...

194. Sidelights on Velikovsky's 'Ages in Chaos' [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , etc. Everywhere we find scholars violating the first commandment of science: You should not multiply hypotheses! Especially, of course, when the fortification of theory allures one to the distortion of truth, as in the recent radiocarbon studies of the Tutankhamen burial period.48 The obstinate fondness of Egyptologists for basing their dynasty dates on the so-called Sothic Cycle (which Redford puzzles over, amusingly),49 induced the experts on Euphrates valley culture to make their own chronicles a veritable Mes-pot. Thus we find M. B. Rowton conducting what I can only describe as an orchestra of chaos in the new Cambridge Ancient History,50 where he presents the Pharaohs of the El Amarna ...
195. Forum [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... blithely assume a Velikovskian chronology, deduce a catastrophist astronomical cycle from it, and then hold forth the resulting astronomical dates as an argument in chronological debate - at least not without a number of caveats! Jim's arguments are as circular as his "cyclical" reconstruction, and tend towards combining the worst elements of the conventional scheme (cf. Sothic "astronomical" dates) with a credence placed in Velikovsky's alternative scheme that smacks of fundamentalism. His letter is in fact a good illustration of the dangers of current Velikovskian fundamentalism, which exhibits, amongst others, the following grave methodological faults: 1. Not only presenting Velikovsky's ideas as the "gospel truth", but throwing in ...
196. Did Thutmose III Despoil the Temple in Jerusalem? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... same star", while, as Velikovsky proves convincingly, the "star of Isis" is not a fixed star, but the planet Venus. The consequences for Egyptian chronology are obvious: "The confusion of Venus with Sirius renders obsolete the astronomical computations made for Egyptian chronology." Having thus freed Egyptian chronology from the straitjacket of the Sothic theory, Velikovsky started rebuilding the history of the period known as the New Kingdom, which opens with the pharaohs of the XVIIIth Dynasty. Starting with the Biblical story of the ten plagues, Velikovsky was convinced that among the mass of written documents preserved in Egypt must be some reflecting the same event. After a long search he came ...

... never have been able to formulate." (8 ) If the "aged ones" who encircle and revolve around Ra are reference to the planets orbiting the Sun, such Copernican knowledge bespeaks access to astronomical expertise far in advance of third millennium science. The calendar of Egypt, an admitted legacy from the archaic gods, included the curious Sothic cycle- the heliacal rising of Sirius, the star of Isis, which appears before dawn on the same day each and every year for at least a century and a quarter. It so happens that the precession of the equinoxes, and the proper motion of Sirius itself, combine to give a period of exactly 365.2500 days ...
198. The Foundations Of Egyptian Chronology. Supplement: Astronomy And Chronology Ch.1 (Peoples of the Sea) [Velikovsky]
... king, lying in the dust, visited also the temple of Medinet Habu. The king who built this mortuary temple received from modern scholars the name of Ramses III. It appears that the French chronologist Joseph Justus Scaliger (1540-1609) made the earliest attempt to date the Egyptian dynasties of Manetho in his Thesaurus temporum (1606). "Sothic period" calculation, an astronomical clue to Egyptian chronology, seemed to give some promise. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries no new attempts to date the kings of Egypt were made. Prichard's date for Ramses III's mounting the throne was changed by Rosellini (1841) to -1477 with no explanation; Champollion-Figeac (1778-1867), the brother ...

... pp. 354-355; vol. I, p. 106 & vol. V, p. 353 2. As described in Papyrus Eber. The date formula is that of the 9th year of Amenhotep I. The dates here are as deduced by Cambridge Ancient History but they can vary under other chronological schemes for they depend firstly on the Sothic observation and whether it was taken from Memphis, Heliopolis or Thebes. Secondly, it depends on whether or not astronomical observations for this period are to be trusted. 3. Ginzberg: op. cit., vol. I, pp. 224-227 & vol. V, pp.223-223. For his name of Enoch (Enkhu ...

... on which orthodox chronology is used for the 18th and 19th Dynasties. How can 220 years, 312 years and 361-352 years be reconciled? 3. If a 220 year reduction is utilised, Setnacht and Ramesses III of the 20th Dynasty, whose reigns total 34 years, fit into the position where Shishak should be. Now the 86 king Sothic cycle king list as preserved by Syncellus (see Manetho, Classical Library) records a king called either Susakos or Susakim and states that he brought his armies to Jerusalem. This king reigned 34 years and is positioned between the 19th and 22nd Dynasty kings, so when this is allied to the known details of Ramesses III's exploits in Palestine ...
