... that he IS bound to accept the earliest possible dating for the Sodom and Gomorrah event, just as he MUST reject Gunnar Heinsohn's revision of Mesopotamian history. For his own passionately-held Saturn theories are based on the assumption that the Mesopotamian mythical texts, as interpreted by him, are immensely ancient. Accepting Heinsohn's putting the Exodus further back in the stratigraphical record; and- most of all- bringing the end of the Early Bronze Age down in time by up to 800 years, from 2300 B.C . to 1500 B.C ., as I have done, will, therefore, raise major questions about the credibility of Mr. Cardona's Saturn theories. He is not ...
22. The Ruins Of The East. Ch.12 The Ruins Of The East (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... The great activity of international trade, which, during the Middle Bronze Age, had been characteristic of the eastern Mediterranean and most of the lands of the Fertile Crescent, suddenly stopped in all this vast area. . . . In all the sites in Western Asia examined up to now a hiatus or a period of extreme poverty broke the stratigraphic and chronological sequence of the strata. . . . In most countries the population suffered great reduction in numbers; in others settled living was replaced by a nomadic existence." In Asia Minor the end of the Middle Bronze came suddenly, and a rupture between that age and the Late Bronze is evident in "all sites that were ...
23. Chronological Problems in the Archaeology of the Hittites [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Velikovsky and by Israel Isaacson, who adduced further parallels between the archaeology of Ugarit and that of 9th/8th-century Levant [46]. Further, lowering the terminal dates for Late Ugarit II and III to c. 835 and c. 750 respectively, to meet the evidence of the literary and archaeological parallels, would seem to pose no stratigraphical problems. Rather, it would help to close a hiatus of some 500 years in the history of the site. After the destruction of Ugarit III, conventionally dated to c. 1200 BC, the next remains found at the site are some Iron Age sarcophagi, dated by Schaeffer to the 7th/6th centuries BC [47] ...
24. Early History of the Israelite People: Biblical Fundamentalism in History (II) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... The hiatus, therefore, is a pseudohiatus. It is forced upon the archeologists not by their own expertise but by the chronology burned into their minds long before they started digging. The 2,150 years or so are either due to mysterious gaps or to shortages of strata and materials. The Bronze Age does not begin before -1000. Stratigraphically, the area from Spain to the Indus Valley has no head start of two millennia over the Ganges Valley, India, China and Mesoamerica. This evidence-based view is also borne out by Tel Dan. The pseudohiatus of 400 years between Dan's strata I and II simply has to be taken out of chronology because it was derived from fundamentalism ...
25. Scientific Dating Methods In Ruins [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... et al., who analyzed radiocarbon materials to determine the age of an uplifted shoreline: We know of several hundred radiocarbon dates from the area and time range being considered, but only 27 have been used in our chronology. All but wood dates have been rejected because of unresolvable contamination problems and only wood dates that seem to be from stratigraphically significant material have been used. Other dates could be used to construct other chronologies. (24) (Emphasis added.) The investigators have chosen, once again, only the dates that agree with their assumptions. Out of hundreds of dates, they have rejected all but a small fraction and have done so by assuming that the ...
26. Nemesis for Evolutionary Gradualism? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... terms, if taxonomic families (groups of species) are investigated instead. Jack Sepkoski of the Department of Geophysical Sciences, University of Chicago, has compiled a record of the appearance and extinction of some 3300 families of marine animals, of which about 2400 are extinct, assigning each event to within the confines of one of the internationally agreed stratigraphical stages [47-49]. Using this compilation, Sepkoski and his colleague, David Raup, saw that five extinction events, in the Late Ordovician (Ashgillian stratigraphical stage), Devonian (Frasnian), Permian (Dzhulfian), Triassic (Norian, about 220 Myr B.P .) and Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) stood out from ...
27. Velikovsky, Glasgow and Heinsohn Combined [Journals] [SIS Review]
... writer after another has grappled with the problem, with dynasties being shuffled backwards and forwards like historical playing cards. An entirely new light was cast on the problem with the appearance of Gunnar Heinsohn's work in the 1980s. Heinsohn was not initially concerned so much with Egypt as with Mesopotamia and sought to reconstruct the chronology of that region using strictly stratigraphic data. By the latter years of the 1980s, however, it became apparent to him that his findings would have major implications also for Egyptian chronology. Heinsohn realised that the stratigraphy demanded a dramatic reduction in the length of ancient civilisation, much more even than the five centuries suggested by Velikovsky. By 1987 he had come to the ...
28. The Chronology of Lyres [Journals] [Aeon]
... or other measures indicating a lapse of time can be detected between the two strata. Wherever one finds a Middle-Assyrian stratum the stratum right underneath has to be contemporary with the Mitanni stratum if the same conditions are met, etc, etc. Amarna's impact even reaches further than establishing contemporeanities. Where pre-Mitanni strata in different excavation sites not only share stratigraphical depth but also pottery styles, architectural ground plans, seals and even the language used for inscriptions or letters the postulate of one and the same nation being in control of these different strata can hardly be evaded. Of course, there would be no need to underline this rather trivial procedure of archaeological common sense if mainstream Assyriology would always ...
29. Astronomical Dating and Calendrics [Journals] [Aeon]
... was only completed in the 70's of the 20th, when it was established that Abrahamic lore dates from the Persian period and later (6 )- historical chronology had to start from scratch. As far as Mesopotamia is concerned, the chronological materials now in use consist of the king-lists that are gradually being unearthed, without, however, the stratigraphical levels in which they are found always being identified. Abraham is hardly ever given a mention in the work now being carried out on the king-lists, yet the dates of the "new" chronology do not differ very much from the dates used up to the 19th century when Abraham was still openly exhibited as the ultimate chronological anchor point ...
30. The Autumn Meeting [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of pen and paper chronologies derived from various different historical interpretations these were all assigned to much earlier periods. The four expected strata have never been identified, to the extent that the world empire of the Persians is considered elusive, the Medish superpower a phantom and the confusion which has reigned over attempts to identify the Ninos Assyrians has led to stratigraphic inversions. How were these pen and paper chronologies derived? A biblical chronology was openly retained by archaeologists until the late 19th century and biblical chronology was originally based on the belief in a 3rd millennium date for the birth of Abraham. Even after Abraham was discarded as an historical figure the chronology was retained because of supposed connections with Hammurabi ...
