... From: Aeon III:6 (Dec 1994) Home | Issue Contents The Stratigraphical Chronology of Ancient Israel Gunnar Heinsohn I. Ancient Israel Debunked? he fundamentalistically computed biblical dates for the major events in the history of ancient Israel cannot be convincingly synchronized with the stratigraphical sequence of the land's archaeological sites. This want of harmony between biblical chronology and archaeological stratigraphy is mainly due to the excavators' attempts to impose biblical dates on the strata which have actually been dated by other means- such as pseudo-astronomical (i .e ., Sothic) retrocalculations in Egyptology and arbitrarily-designed kinglists in Assyriology. Neither the biblical nor the "scholarly" dating schemes seem to be very much in ...
2. Rejoinder to Velikovsky [Journals] [Pensee]
... Immanuel Velikovsky replied to my criticism of his revised chronology (Pensee, Fall, 1973, pp. 10-12). However, his reply contained so many misunderstandings and misstatements that I feel constrained to make the following comments. First of all, Velikovsky seems to misunderstand the methodology of modern archaeology, at least in regard to the nature of stratigraphical evidence. In the first paragraph of his reply he quotes my statement that his historical reconstruction "cannot be reconciled with the stratigraphical evidence of archaeology," then counters with the claim that "by stratigraphical evidence are usually meant mute artifacts, mostly pottery." Neither pottery nor any other type of artifact constitutes stratigraphical evidence unless it is ...
3. Did the Sumerians and the Akkadians Ever Exist? [Journals] [Aeon]
... according to stratigraphy must be placed at the end of the early dynastic period, have an uncanny resemblance to the graves of the Scythian princes dated 1500 years later. The comparative study of the civilizations of ancient southern Mesopotamia and ancient China reveals considerable parallels with regard to developments in social structure, technological skills, and religious practices. Yet the stratigraphically well-dated Chinese civilization emerges some 1500 years after the birth of the early dynastic civilization in "Sumer." IV Ca. 2350 BCE: Conquest of southern Mesopotamia by the Akkadians, whose king Sargon is considered to be the founder of the first extensive empire in history.Problems: No convincing stratigraphic evidence for mankind's "first empire" ...
4. Prehistory and Earth Models [Books]
... or pair up such plots from one deposit with those from other similar deposits assuming that the thickness would be uniform over a broad range of distances for each year. Then fluctuations from year to year provide the basis for matching. Careful study of results, however, has revealed serious errors which today are well recognized by comparison with data from stratigraphic methods. Flint [1942] summarized conclusions of extensive studies that correlations of varve counts may lead to unreliable results for the following reasons: In many sections the variations in thickness of adjacent varves is so small that the curve constructed from them approaches a straight line and precludes correlation. Thicknesses commonly vary in a horizontal direction so that the ...
5. Timna and Egyptian Dates [Journals] [Aeon]
... claim was put forward that the enigmatic absence of iron findings in Egypt during the period from 1200 to 600 BCE, and the no less enigmatic premature use of iron in the Chalcolithic (Copper Stone Age) and the Bronze Age (3700 to 1200 BCE) is due to unscholarly- pseudo-astronomical and Bible Fundamentalist- chronological constructs rather than to stratigraphic evidence . The same study suggested that the first stage of Egyptian High culture (Pre-and Early Dynastic, 3100 to 2890 BCE) was brought about by Asian invaders who did not enter the Nile Valley before the second third of the first millennium BCE. Archaeologically it can be shown that these Early Dynastic strata belonged to the same stratigraphic horizon ...
6. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... stratigraphy. Firstly, when comparing any two sites both of which contain a stratum which can be definitely attributed to culture A, then, if there be no gap between that stratum and its underlying one, the lower stratum of each site must also be of an identical culture B. Secondly, for any site with two strata with no stratigraphic gap then the stratigraphic sequence must equal the historic sequence. Thirdly, if articles referable to any particular figure are found in a different stratigraphic sequence from that expected by historic dating, then the stratigraphic date must overrule the known' historic one. As the Egyptians called all invaders hyksos' (rulers of foreign lands) Heinsohn defined the ...
7. A Concluding Retort [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 5: (Winter 1974-75) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered X" Home | Issue Contents A Concluding Retort Immanuel Velikovsky Dr. Stiebing (Pensee, Fall, 1973) raised the evidence of stratigraphic archaeology as an argument against my reconstruction of ancient history. In my "Reply to Stiebing" (Pensee, Winter, 1973-74) I made it clear that the finds of stratigraphic archaeology gain meaning only if at some points there are links with historically datable sources, like monuments or other literary relics. The dating of these depends again on chronology of recorded history- in the case of the Hebrews, the chronology as contained in the books of the ...
8. Applying the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... (6 ). If Velikovsky is correct in lowering the Egyptian dates by 500-700 years, the Mycenaean dates must follow suit. If Stiebing is right, and the Mycenaean period is soundly established, it follows that the Egyptian dates cannot be lowered. In my previous article in this journal the Mycenaean-Egyptian dependency was explained, and examples of 600-year stratigraphical, archaeological, and radiocarbon problems were mentioned for the Late Helladic site of Pylos (7 ). The same sort of problem exists at nearly every Mycenaean site, but since Stiebing confined his remarks to Mycenae and Tiryns, they alone will be dealt with here. MYCENAE From literary accounts and archaeological findings, the ancient city of Mycenae ...
9. Ancient Near Eastern Chronology Revised [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 1 No 1 (1993) Home | Issue Contents Ancient Near Eastern Chronology Revised Gunnar Heinsohn Archeologists and historians have interpreted the stratigraphical record on the basis of the following diagram: A B A C B C D D C D E E Yields A B C D E Figure 1. A NOTE ON STRATIGRAPHY. The diagram above illustrates the principles of generalized archeological stratigraphies which obviates the need to find levels A through E, for example, at one site, in order to establish the sequence A to E. I will elaborate on the fatal flaw of the archeologies from Egypt to the Indus Valley by focusing on the Mitanni, which are conventionally ...
10. Cyrus The Mardian/amardian Dethroner Of The -6th Century Medes And Aziru The Martu/amurru (Amorite) Dethroner Of The -14th Century Mitanni [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... . The following overview illustrates why modern scholars doubt the imperial dimensions of the Achaemenids. Their most powerful provinces (satrapies) - - so it is believed- lay idle between -550 and -330. An empire whose supposedly most populous and wealthy heartlands were, in actual fact, wastelands, could not possibly have been an empire at all.
