... evidence that the 13th Dynasty was relatively short-lived. The average reign length for the first twenty kings is a mere 4 years. The four royal tombs at Byblos, contemporary with these kings, suggests a span of four generations, while the Genealogy of High Priests at Memphis also shows a period of, at most, four generations. The Sothic date which links Senusret III to the year 1866 BC is not necessarily to be trusted. All in all, it is preferable to suppose that Israel's sojourn in Egypt lasted 215 years, in accordance with the Septuagint version of Exodus 12:40, rather than 430 years. With this the talk ended. Originally, David supposed that ...
212. The Dark Age Gap: An Open Letter to John Bimson, Peter James and David Rohl [Journals] [SIS Review]
... for example, in his Die Sumerer gab es nichte (Frankfort, 1988). The triplication, he contends, occurred because the ancient history of the near-east was constructed upon three quite distinct and contradictory dating blueprints; the first millennium being (by and large) dated according to classical sources; the second millennium being dated according to Egyptian Sothic sources; whilst the third millennium dates were supplied by biblically dated Mesopotamian sources. ...
213. Ring Counters and Calendrical Cycles [Journals] [Horus]
... the Canopus Decree speaks of Venus and its relation to Sothis (Sirius). [see Peoples of the Sea, p. 205 ff.1 By observing the helical risings of Venus relative to Sirius, the return of the heliacal rising of Venus to its starting point in the seasonal year could be determined. Showing historically that the "Sothic" cycle pertained to Venus, exposed a major flaw in the current scheme of Egyptian chronology. It also showed clearly that scholars of both Egyptian and Mesoamerican cultures remain ignorant of the fact that both had a 365-day year related to Venus. Especially curious is that in a recent study, Mesoamerican scholar Vincent Malmstrom came to the conclusion that ...
214. Bronze Age Multi-Site Destructions (A Preliminary Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... there is also a hiatus in the history of all sites that are Egyptologically dated. It is the same story as for the later Third Intermediate Period; add a few extra centuries into Egyptian chronology and it fouls up everywhere else as well. I have argued elsewhere that the Second Intermediate is largely illusory [21], the result of Sothic Dating. Other archaeologists, recognising the artificial nature of Schaeffer's hiatuses, have sought to close the gap by lowering the dates of the Middle Bronze strata, claiming that the Egyptian Middle Kingdom remains in Asia were all brought back as trophies by returning Hyksos. Schaeffer himself recognised that the stratigraphic evidence was puzzling, for at Ugarit he seemed ...

... all trace back to Manus. Censorinus, using Varro etc., in his essay on time (238 AD) gave 3 periods: the first ending with Ogyges, then legend and myth lasting 800 years up to historical times and ending with the 1st Olympiad 776. This would yield a date for the flood of 1700-1600BC. Censorinus used Sothic dating back from 139AD, arriving at a date for the flood of Ogyges equivalent to 1600BC.He wrote of an Egyptian calendar, which had 2 months, then 6, then 365 days and named the kings who made the changes. Harappan civilisation started c2000 and was destroyed in 1700 (uncalibrated carbon-dates). Then came the spread ...
216. The Mosaic Calendar [Journals] [Aeon]
... noteworthy that no acknowledgment of the vexing 1/4 day residual (5 hours, 48 minutes, & 46 seconds) of our current solar experience appears here. Inasmuch as the Mosaic calendar apparently stood for centuries, we must assume that it was not necessary at the outset. By extension, we may also conclude that the much touted Sothic theory of Egyptian calendar practice (where New Year's Day rolled relentlessly through the seasons in a 1461 Year cycle) is an unnecessary embellishment, the regrettable product of misunderstanding by the Egyptians of the true length of the year. Since the crucial datum was the perennial Abib 1 alignment with the Vernal Equinox (New Year's Day- see Exodus ...

... to January 2nd, 1193 BC (shown in Cosmic Winter, p. 173). Ellenberger notes that: "These results preclude the neo-Velikovskian chronological compression of G. Heinsohn who, e.g ., down-dates 1124 to 521 BC in Ghost Empires of the Past. N.B . Sadly for Heinsohn and L. Rose, Sothic dating is irrelevant to Tuman's astronomical dating." In commending these papers, I would advise that they should not be seen as the last word' on the subject. Astronomical data sometimes lend themselves to other interpretations: as, for instance, Wayne Mitchell showed for the Venus Tablets in JACF 3. \cdrom\pubs\journals ...
218. Scientific Dating Methods In Ruins [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... covered the fact that aeolic (windblown) layers usually required for a gap of so many centuries were missing. All the archaeologists did was to apply their knowledge of textbook chronology: A tablet inscribed in Old Akkadian automatically brought the stratum in which it was found in the -24th century. Since these strata were found underneath Mitanni strata, whose Sothic Amarna textbook date was the -15th century, none of the archeologists failed to mention this settlement gap between the Akkadian and the immediately following Mitanni stratum. Thus, they proved that they had attended their history classes. From an archeological viewpoint, however, they had proven nothing. When I claimed the Old Akkadians, the Old Assyrians and ...

... ) does not say more than just this. It seems unjustifiable to render the word as "the year" as is done regularly nowadays, for the simple reason that there is no such thing as the year; to begin with, there is the tropical year and sidereal year, neither of them being of the same length as the Sothic year. Actually, the methods of Maya, Chinese, and Indian time reckoning should teach us to take much greater care of the words we use. The Indians, for instance, reckoned with five different sorts of year," among which one of 378 days, for which A. Weber did not have any explanation [n5 ...
