... Gunnar Heinsohn's reconstruction which subtracts at least a 1,000 years. The author does not agree with all details of Heinsohn's reconstruction but he demonstrates that Heinsohn is on the right track. A look at the very beginnings of Egyptian and Hebrew history reveals contemporary characters and events unnaturally separated in textbooks by 1,000 years. According to biblical tradition, the Hebrews were a tribe of Mesopotamian nomads who, under the leadership of Abraham, or Abram, had made their way to the promised land' of Canaan. Their wanderings did not stop there however, for we are told that during a time of famine Abraham led his followers into Egypt. The Scriptures tell us very little ...
412. Book Reviews [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Ltd. 1951. Now out of print, but can still be obtained by U.K . Members through libraries.) Although this pamphlet was written for astrologers, and proposes the greater validity of the sidereal as opposed to the tropical Zodiac, it offers a solution to the age-old problem of the exaltation degrees (hypsomata) of the traditional planets, i.e . the sun, moon and five planets known in classical times. The author gives a proof that the hypsomata were established in 786 BC which is in the same time frame as Dr Velikovsky's Martian catastrophes. Astrological tradition allocates hypsomata to the seven planets which are points in the Zodiac where the Planet's influence is ...
413. Cosmic Catastrophism [Journals] [Aeon]
... about the same time. This does not mean that all of the sources had to be committed to writing immediately after the events they describe took place (though that is an ideal situation for which every historian longs). However, if written accounts appeared only a considerable time after the events they narrate, the origin and accuracy of the traditions upon which the written versions are based should be discussed. A historian should find out as much as possible about the background and transmission of the sources he uses. Velikovsky generally ignores this fundamental principle of responsible historical scholarship. He often uses details from Jewish writings of the Roman and medieval periods to supplement descriptions found in the Bible written ...
414. Fingerprints of the Gods: do ancient relicts point to an advanced civilisation 15,000 years ago? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to back, often indicating the directions East and West. It is curious to find the similar feline back-to-back symbolism in Central America and I suggest that the reason for this is not a direct influence of Egypt on Mexico, or Mexico on Egypt, but rather a remote common influence on both of those areas which passed down particular symbols, traditions and knowledge to both areas way back in the remote prehistory of mankind. There are many other correspondences to consider. In architecture, note in Figure 3 the way the blocks wrap around the corner here in Peru near Cuzco. We find exactly the same kind of feature at the Valley Temple (Fig. 4.) which stands ...
415. Ocean Sediments, Circumpolar Muck, Erratics, Buried Forests, and Loess as Evidence of Global Floods [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... recent global flood. G. Cuvier also conceived of immense floods as a reality, based on Whiston's work.4 Stephen Jay Gould claims that Cuvier . . . does argue for a worldwide flood some five thousand years ago, and he does cite the Bible as support. But his thirty-page discussion is a literary and ethnographic compendium of all traditions [of the flood] from Chaldean to Chinese."5 Henry H. Howorth presented a 51-page compendium of the flood traditions in his monumental book, The Mammoth and the Flood, which claims there are: "Traditions of the flood [come from] Egyptian tradition-Double version of the flood story in the Bible-Similar story [the Gilgamish ...
416. Tiglath-pileser versus Pul: Who is Pulling Whose Leg? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... their presentation of our faults but McIntyre is blunt and even sarcastic in his presentation of both real and imagined academic blunders. However, I have no intention of trading insults across such rigidly drawn lines. On a positive note I do believe that the Biblical account of its own history must be given a greater degree of credibility, for no tradition, regardless of its biases and peculiar perspectives, can completely mute its historical context(s ). Thus the Biblical text no matter when it was finally set down in its present form will reflect, in one way or another, all the historical periods with which it has had actual or even learned contact Thus even late Biblical texts ...
417. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... end, and to do this in a way that also makes sense of its strange geography. Alasdair Beal, Chapel Allerton, Leeds Rees and his Sources, I Dear Sir, I object very strongly to Anthony Rees' use of sources in The Israelites and the 18th Dynasty' (Workshop 1988:2 ). Rees writes that The traditions about Malol tell us that 94 years [28] after he (i .e . Amenhotep II) began to rule in 1450 BC, a king of the same name, Malol, ended his reign. ' Note #28 reads in part, The tradition claims that the same Malol reigned 94 years. The present author considers ...
418. Graincollection: Human's Natural Ecological Niche -- A Review [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... is punctuated by large-scale physical upheavals which resulted in extinctions, speciations and drastic redirections on human habitats and behaviour patterns.(4 ) In this view, the upheavals, which wipe out some communities and traumatise others, result in partial or total amnesia among survivors. Of the fragmentary memories that persist post catastrophically, the most widespread is the tradition of the Golden Age of harmony and happiness. Yet, even this tradition is so vague as to seem like collective fantasy. As catastrophists see it, the Edenic tradition recalls one or more periods between general disasters- when our ancestors lived long enough in tranquility to come to regard this state as normal. For Treviņo, the crucial mishap ...
419. Thoth Vol I, No. 22: August 31, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... AGREED UPON means of accessing it will always leave one isolated: it will provide no basis for a common understanding of the world or our place in it. Many people have their sense of truth tethered to their culture, some to the majority, some to prior schooling, some to a set of "sacred writings", some to tradition, and some to "accredited" authorities. There is only one way to get past the resulting divisions in our collective perception of the world. And that is through a commitment to rational, logical, and reasonable inquiry, with nothing else standing between ourselves and the quest for truth.- VELIKOVSKY'S COMET VENUS (6 ) By ...
420. New Archaeological Dates for the Israelite Conquest Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... that the MB I culture first appeared in northern Sinai and the southern Negev, spread through Transjordan, then across the Jordan into the southern hill country, and finally into northern Palestine.4 Because of this similarity between the MB I migration and the Israelite conquest route, Cohen concluded that either the MB I people were the Israelites or the tradition of the MB I movement was preserved and later incorporated into the exodus account.5 Emmanuel Anati, professor of paleo-ethnology at the University of Lecce in Italy, furthermore, has found an EB III/MB I holy mountain which he claims is Mount Sinai. Anati discovered a great concentration of rock art (much of it with what ...
