... if we keep in mind that Egyptian chronology served as a basis for the chronology of the entire complex called the ancient East. Some scholars tried to take the middle road, and, disregarding the involved computations on which the Sothis reckoning is made, suggested a period of four or five hundred years for the Hyksos period. "Were the Sothic date unknown, our evidence would not require more than 400 or at most 500 years between the two- the twelfth and the eighteenth- dynasties."52 The conciliatory view did not take root among the scholars; the long chronology after the death of Petrie had very few supporters; and the short chronology, also called the chronology of the ...
222. Velikovsky: A Personal Chronological Perspective of His Final Years [Journals] [Aeon]
... near and dear. The scholars of history and ancillary disciplines continue to scoff at Velikovsky's reconstructions, though less and less vociferously- albeit more agnostically- just in case. Egyptian chronology, the bulwark of world history, is still considered to be relatively intact despite all its glaring discrepancies, even though one of the cornerstones of this chronology- Sothic dating- has now fallen by the wayside, but without even partial credit being placed on Velikovsky's doorstep. Officially, astronomers still publicly dismiss Velikovsky's peregrinatious planets, whatever they might think privately, and point to ancient historical eclipses which were documented in proof of retrograde calculations, which purport to show that the planets always held to their selfsame ...
223. The Ramesside Star Tables [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Le Page Renouf and Parker, which sees the Ramesside tables as an assortment of meridian and ex-meridian observations, lays more stress on the apparent meridian transit of Sirius at dusk in Table 12, but this is only another way of synchronising the start of the year with the heliacal rising of Sirius (subject to some approximation and or civil/Sothic year adjustment). Sir Peter Le Page Renouf (1874) incidentally anticipates the present writer by all of 100 years in that he also allocates Aldebaran to constellation SAR and the Pleiades to constellation M (together with some more attributions). All of the writers referenced here also quote earlier authorities Biot, Champollion, Lepsius, Meyer etc ...
224. After 200 Years It's Time to Get Serious About Dynasty XVIII and Tuthmose III [Journals] [Aeon]
... would have had to have been away for the best part of a year and he might as well have stayed in the field for the succeeding summer, rendering his second journey unnecessary. On balance, therefore, Breasted's claim that Thutmose was back for the feast of Opet some 175 days after having left Egypt, with its clear dependence on Sothic calculations, may well be flawed. There is one other option. [36] J. H. Breasted, op. cit., II, 432. [37] Impost - i.e ., taxes, tribute. [38] Ibid., 441-442. [39] Ibid., 402, note a ...
225. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... on the extant strata, Heinsohn would move all of Hebrew history- from the migrations of Abraham to the conquest of Canaan and the subsequent Babylonian Exile- to the tenth century BCE and down. Heinsohn's basic contention is that archaeologists posit gaps or hiatuses in the strata in order to accommodate their preconceived chronology, falsely derived from such methods as Sothic dating and computations based on the Biblical sources. Having followed Heinsohn's career with interest for the better part of a decade, it is becoming obvious that he is onto something very exciting with this new line of research based on the archaeological strata. Even so, there is much here that reminds me of Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos: when ...
226. A Return to the Two Sargons and Their Successors [Journals] [Aeon]
... me that the paper in which he presented the identification [156] was not published "because it still contained the Sargonics = Sargonids mistake." [157] He did not, however, retract the identification of Naram-Sin as Khyan. True enough, in a subsequent communiqué, he also informed me that, having previously been trapped by Sothic dates, he was now no longer "inclined to do very much with the lid of some Khyan [which lid was found at Knossos and assigned a Middle Minoan III A date] re Hyksos alter egos." [158] Because of the ambiguity of these messages, I have no idea whether Heinsohn still holds to the identification ...
