... abrupt changes of environment, of extinctions and of repopulations with new species [17]. The history of the Earth has been divided into eras, these subdivided into periods and further into epochs, each characterised by its unique flora and fauna, as judged by the fossil record (Figure 1). Although it was subsequently to emerge that stratigraphic characteristics were not absolutely identical in every part of the world, the early investigations in Europe revealed clear-cut boundaries between the layers of rock used as the basis for classification. Furthermore, the strata themselves were found not to lie flat, one above the other, but to show unmistakable signs of compression and shear, collapse and uplift. ...
62. A Chronology for Mesopotamia (contra Heinsohn) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... regard to this study, so far as the dynasty of Hammurabi was concerned, in October 1991 Heinsohn was of the opinion [16] that the stratigraphy at Babylon had been poorly established and that conventional interpretations of it had been based on incorrect information. He felt that the content of his papers on related stylistic matters, technical developments, stratigraphical anomalies were more significant. However, his misgivings plus the various anomalies he highlights seem to be insufficient to resolve the problem Study 1 poses for him. Study II (Elam) This study relates to a number of Elamite dynasties which, in our present chart, can be seen in the extreme right-hand column no. IX. Therein ...
63. The Two Sargons and Their Successors (Part II) [Journals] [Aeon]
... Akkadian remains are scarce- not nonexistent- but only when compared to the remains of other Mesopotamian periods. There are various reasons for this scarcity which, incidentally, is not unique to the Akkadian period. (Until the recent discoveries at Tell el Dab'a, the Hyksos period in Egypt, in which even Heinsohn believes, was bereft of stratigraphical evidence. No Hyksosian monuments were known). Not least of the considerations concerning Mesopotamian archaeology are the vicissitudes of history itself, with so much wholesale destruction and energetic rebuilding by various rulers- something that Heinsohn belittles. One must remember that the conquerors of antiquity often razed the cities they vanquished right to the ground and, in some ...

... phenomena. The other has, of course, envisaged mass extinctions as caused by real environmental catastrophes and it has been based on a more literal reading of the fossil record. The contrast between these two interpretations has largely shaped the history of debate about mass extinctions, but it has always hinged on divergent views on the precision and reliability of stratigraphic correlation among very distant areas" [24]. Thus, for example, in the 1920s, H. T. Marshall and E. Hennig regarded the mass extinctions at the end of the Cretaceous Period as being the result of a genuine catastrophe, perhaps a burst of cosmic radiation, whereas M. V. Pavlova and D ...
65. Can There be a Revised Chronology Without a Revised Stratigraphy? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (1982) "The 1978 Glasgow Conference Proceedings" Home | Issue Contents Can There be a Revised Chronology Without a Revised Stratigraphy?Dr John J. Bimson 1. The Problem Stated IN AN ARTICLE which appeared in Pensée in 1973, W. H. STIEBING claimed that "Velikovsky's revised synchronisms for ancient history cannot be reconciled with the stratigraphical evidence of archaeology" [1 ]. One of Stiebing's objections to Velikovsky's chronology relies on the supposed association of Hyksos objects with pottery of the Middle Bronze II period in Palestine. I have shown elsewhere that this association does not bear close scrutiny [2 ]. But Stiebing also raised another and more serious problem for the revised chronology ...
66. Heinsohn's Revised Chronology [Journals] [Aeon]
... . For example, he is surprised that the layers of the Sumerians and Old Babylonians "lie by no means deep below the surface, but remarkably close to those of the Hellenes and Parthians." (29) And elsewhere he states that the layers from the Akkad period at Tell Brak and other sites in the Khabur region "are stratigraphically far too close to the surface to allow for a 3rd millennium date." (30) However, many very ancient sites (such as the remains of the final Minoan/Mycenaean palace at Knossos) have been found only a few inches below the surface. The depth at which remains are found depends upon many factors including the ...
67. 'No Impact': René Gallant (1906-1985) [Books]
... the study of its history, particularly in new areas of science. Despite, or perhaps because of, this, disputes about who first did what proliferate in science [1 ] . Amid such anti-historical feeling by many scientists, we should recall that much scientific practice relies on factual considerations of priority (within geology particularly in taxonomy & in stratigraphic practice). Such science thus has to be highly historic , but much else does not. Historians have two tasks among many. One is to uncover but not to judge the past. The other is to understand the relative contributions made by different people in that past. With the latter, we are often on difficult ground in ...
68. Introduction - Ages in Chaos? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies (SIS) was formed in Britain to consider Velikovsky's ideas; although some members were critical of his revised chronology, many others thought that he had put forward a plausible scenario in Ages in Chaos [43]. In the SIS Review and elsewhere, John Bimson argued that Velikovsky's Revised Chronology, with associated stratigraphic re-assessments, made the Old Testament more consistent with archaeology than previously. In the revised scheme, the Israelites would have arrived at Jericho around the time the fortified Middle Bronze Age settlement came to an end, never to be replaced, whilst the gate and palace of the great king Solomon at Megiddo would have been the impressive Late Bronze ...

70. The Nature of the Historical Record [Journals] [SIS Review]
... casemate walls and chambered gates of the Iron Age cities of Gezer, Hazor and Megiddo were built at about the same time. Similarly, the introduction into Palestine of the so-called "bichrome" ware is associated with the beginning of the Late Bronze Age in Palestine. Over a long period, the excavation of numerous sites, the use of stratigraphical methods and the comparative analysis of the finds made have enabled archaeologists to construct the framework of Early, Middle and Late Bronze, and Iron Ages, with their numerous sub-divisions, on which the comparative chronology of the Near East and Aegean in the last 3000 years BC is largely based. It is highly significant that, whereas the historical ...
