... to be comprehensive, but aims to introduce readers of this journal to developments they may be unfamiliar with. My own position, as mentioned above, is that the Israelite Exodus from Egypt and the conquest of Canaan occurred at the end of the Early Bronze Age, in the era known as Early Bronze IV or Middle Bronze 1A in the stratigraphical record. To the best of my knowledge, Donovan Courville was the first researcher to espouse the theories that the Exodus took place at the end of the Early Bronze Age and that the Israelite United Kingdom of David and Solomon was the Hyksos Empire of the High Middle Bronze II period. Courville introduced us to his theories in 1971, ...
32. Neocatastrophism? [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... palaeontologists as well. Stepanov lists a few representatives; in reality, however, their number is much greater, and even the ionizing radiation, first mooted by myself in 1950 as the cause of these phenomena, has latterly been increasingly invoked by Russian investigators. Indeed, it appears to be a growing fundamental conviction precisely among the Soviet Russian stratigraphers that there exists a natural organization in the history of the Earth that has to be unravelled. It is, therefore, singularly surprising that Stepanov denies the occurrence of turning points in the biological evolution which form the signposts in any natural system of division. He does, on the other hand, recognize quite clearly in a general description ...
33. Chapter 8 Mesopotamia and Ghost Empires [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... completely new civilizations: 1. Sumerians 2. Akkadians 3. Neo-Sumerians 4. Mitanni 5. Old Babylonians and Neo-Assyrians 6. Hittites. These new civilizations therefore had to be placed inside the earlier conventional framework. However, Professor Gunnar Heinsohn and later also Emmet J. Sweeney, in a series of books and papers, based on the stratigraphical record, have challenged the existence of these new Mesopotamian empires. Stratigraphy, they claim, indicates quite clearly that the first five new empires noted above have no basis for their existence. They are, according to Heinsohn, duplications of the original five empires. His chronology equates these as follows: 1. The Sumerians are equated with ...
34. A Reply to Stiebing [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 1: (Winter 1973-74) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered VI" Home | Issue Contents A Reply to Stiebing Immanuel Velikovsky Copyright 1974 by Immanuel Velikovsky Ages in Chaos and the stratigraphical record In issue #5 of the Pensee series dedicated to the reexamination of my theses, W. H. Stiebing arrived at the conclusion that the historical reconstruction of Ages in Chaos "cannot be reconciled with the stratigraphical evidence of archaeology." By stratigraphical evidence are usually meant mute artifacts, mostly pottery. The effort in my reconstruction was in shifting the emphasis to archaeological literary evidence. It is from the literary evidence that the artifacts originally obtained their meaning as ...
35. In Defence of Higher Chronologies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... First Babylonian Dynasty needs to be lowered to Persian times and is, in fact, to be identified with the Persian Empire [8 ]. In this, Hammurabi would be the same as Darius the Great, Ammisaduqa would be the same as Artaxerxes III Ochos [9 ] and so on. Heinsohn based these conclusions mainly on archaeological and stratigraphical considerations, which I tend to see as of secondary import. My endorsement of Heinsohn's late dating of the First Babylonian Dynasty resulted from astronomical and calendrical considerations, which he tends to see as being of very limited import. My summary here may be too mild to do Heinsohn full justice: he describes my research as phoney', ...
36. Distorting and Reconstructing the Past [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Neo-Assyrian kings were found the cuneiform versions of well-known names such as Sargon, Sennacherib, and Esarhaddon. Scholars were jubilant at the discovery of these men, and the Hebrew Scriptures, which were our main source of information about them, seemed to be completely vindicated. It was therefore agreed that the Akkadians and Sumerians, both of whom came stratigraphically long before the Neo-Assyrians, were indeed races unknown to Classical antiquity. The discovery of these peoples was hailed as one of the great triumphs of modern scholarship. But together with these triumphs, there was much disappointment. The absence of the Chaldaeans, in the very place they should by all accounts have occupied, was bad enough. ...
37. Master Of Fieldwork: Come See For Yourself. File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... 1983 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Master Of Fieldwork: Come See For Yourself I hope you will go on with your research. You are working in the right direction and time will help to show the reality of global or near global catastrophes. Already continental or near continental catastrophes cannot be doubted as I showed in my stratigraphical work in the Near East. It will take time for your findings and mine to be acknowledged. This may make us sometimes impatient. But it will stir us to more work and more research. SO ENDED THE ten-page handwritten letter of one of the most eminent archaeologists of our time, Claude F. A. Schaeffer, member ...
38. The Timna Test [Journals] [Aeon]
... a minimum gap of more than a century and a half is opened between Ramesses III and the earliest possible point that Queen Twosere could appear because, by -525, the tail of Dynasty XIX had not yet lifted above the horizon. Meantime, we are of course obliged to show that the 150+ year gap is comfortably supported by the stratigraphical sequence at Timna. For example, we learn from the excavators [3 ] that, at some stage, the temple was savagely overthrown and thoroughly de-Egyptianized. Painstaking devotion to erasure of almost all hieroglyphic inscriptions from the stones and monuments of the original building is inconsistent with the smashed major pieces which themselves attest to a separate action of ...
39. Chapter VII: The Earth [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... of the evidence is explainable by uniformity. For those interested in investigating both sides of this issue, Cardona has written an excellent review article.) 14 For a number of years, Ager has taught geology, mainly uniformitarian style, at the University College of Swansea in Wales. In 1973 he published a book on The Nature of the Stratigraphical Record. He discusses plate tectonics and other drift ideas, but he also gives some anti-drift arguments. He seems to indicate that some, although not all, formations might be explained by drift. However, he believes that the standard uniformitarian ideas about deposits are not totally adequate and that some catastrophic ideas must be considered. Ager prefers ...
40. Sediments [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the source of all sedimentary rock [7 ], following a process of weathering of source material, transportation, deposition, and lithification which compacts and cements the material into a coherent rock. But to address such rocks with the fixed idea of gradual erosion is inappropriate. Geologists, writes Ager, generally act on the belief that "the stratigraphical column in any one place is a long record of sedimentation with occasional gaps... But I maintain that a far more accurate picture of the stratigraphical record is of one long gap with only very occasional sedimentation... The gaps predominate .. .. the lithologies are all diachronous and the fossils migrate into the area from ...
