... as Khum-Arbi. The last two versions could easily result in a later version of Camerina, because of the recognised consonant shift between r' and I'. It should, however, be noted that there was apparently more than one Abram/Abraham. The earliest one (called Brahma), whose wife was originally called Sarai according to tradition, seems to have arrived in Mesopotamia, aged 21, from the Aram-Naharaim, area of the two rivers - Indus and Sarasvati - about 3093BC. A second one (called Abram), according to another tradition, seems to have arrived in Canaan from Camenna (? ) in about 1904 aged 52. The final one (called ...
492. A Note on the Term "Hyksos" [Journals] [Kronos]
... . . . the excavation of tombs of the Hyksos period has revealed no significant changes in burial customs and no cultural break with the past. If the invaders established a cult of Seth at Avaris, they worshipped the native gods of Egypt as well. The rulers represented themselves to be the official successors of the pharaohs. They adopted the traditional royal protocol, assumed royal names compounded with the name of Re, and designated themselves, like the native rulers whom they had displaced, as Son of Re, ' or as Horus'."(17) Since there have been significant phonological changes of late in the treatment of Egyptian words,* one is here tempted to ...
493. Pyramid Builders and Hyksos [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1994 No 1 (Jan 1994) Home | Issue Contents Pyramid Builders and Hyksos by Michael G. Reade Revised chronologies for Egyptian history appear almost all still to be based on the assumption that the traditional sub-division into consecutive Old, Middle and New Kingdom eras is sound. Even Dr Velikovsky's original revision relies on this hypothesis (e .g . his placement of the Exodus between the end of the Middle Kingdom and the start of the New Kingdom). One exception appears to be Emmet J. Sweeney's recent paper The Pyramid Age[1 ], though papers by Professor Heinsohn and Jesse E. Lasken are also relevant. Were the ...
494. Intimations of an Alien Sky [Journals] [Aeon]
... by the new style of poetry that came into vogue with the likes of Hesiod and Homer who were, perhaps, more guilty of humanizing the ancient deities than anyone else who had gone before them. It was this state of affairs that occasioned Aristotle to re-affirm the belief that the planets had once been gods. As he wrote: A tradition has been handed down by the ancient thinkers of very early times...to the effect that these heavenly bodies are gods...The rest of their tradition has been added later in a mythological form to influence the vulgar... (7 ) Translators and other commentators of Aristotle have since attempted to fault him on ...
495. The habiru as the 'ibrim of I Samuel and the implications for the 'new chronology' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Israelite monarchy. At no other time in history do we find the same two-fold literary usage of the appellative habiru/ 'ibrim as in these two documents, which in terms of the conventional scheme are some 350 years apart. Several scholars have in fact argued before me that in both documents the term is applied to i). the traditional socio-political grouping of migrants both times organised as mercenary bands fighting in the armies of the Canaanite/Indo-European feudal lords, and ii). as a pejorative used to denigrate all rebels who have risen in revolt against the ruling class in Syro-Palestine. As this literary extension of the traditional appellative remains absent from the extensive list of references to ...
496. New Chronology Issues, continued from Workshop 1991:1 [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Coreobus in the sprint race of 776 BC, and that they might in fact have been founded as early as Pelops or Heracles. ' Why, it might be asked, do historians postulate the existence of these earlier Olympiads? Robinson himself is well aware of the answer. Historians were forced to postulate a double founding of the Olympiads because tradition clearly linked numerous Heroic Age characters to the Games. In other words, because the Heroic Age was placed (through Sothically dated Egyptian chronology) in the second millennium BC, the Games in which the characters of this time participated also had to be placed in the second millennium. Thus a fictitious dating system for Egypt is used to ...
497. Towards a New Evolutionary Synthesis [Books]
... speciation? ' He answered: "There is no question that the end product of speciation is effective reproductive isolation between natural populations. But reproductive isolation is after all the end product, not the cause, of speciation. It is really the process of speciation that concerns us, and that is what we know least about." The traditional view, still presented in books such as Darwin to DNA, Molecules to Humanity, was that two isolated populations of the same species accumulated different small mutations and evolved separately for many generations until eventually they became separate species. This, although a perfectly plausible scenario, provides no proper explanation of what happens between the accumulation of small mutations ...
498. An Empirical Approach to Collective AmnesiaA [Journals] [Kronos]
... , sponsored by KRONOS.] The scenarios of interplanetary chaos presented in Worlds in Collision stem primarily from Velikovsky's psychological analysis that historical reality underlies ancient legendary, mythical themes of theomachy and natural catastrophe. This meaning has been lost "because of some characteristic process that later caused entire nations, together with their literate men, to read into these traditions allegories or metaphors where actually cosmic disturbances were clearly described" (W in C, p. 300). The subsequent negative, suppressive response by the scientific community, particularly the astronomers, is well known. Velikovsky accounts for this reaction and its intensification, despite repeated confirmation of his deductions, in psychological terms as well. " ...
499. Ras Shamra (Ages in Chaos) [Velikovsky]
... Shamra, judging from stone phalli found in this Phoenician city.49 The Jewish law forbidding the people to boil a calf in the milk of its mother was directed against a definite custom and a culinary dish. This dish was enjoyed at Ras Shamra, as its writings reveal. From all this the following conclusion was drawn: "The traditions, culture and religion of the Israelites are bound up inextricably with the early Canaanites. The compilers of the Old Testament were fully aware of this, hence their obsession to break with such a past and to conceal their indebtedness to it."50 Even in minute details the life in Ras Shamra of the fifteenth century and the life ...
500. Ebla and Near East Chronology Part I [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... inserts 21 kings of the Guti between Akkad and the Ur III dynasty (neo-Sumerian). Their existence has variously been questioned, as materially they have left little trace of their presence. They were later located in the Zagros zone to the northeast and appear to have included Hurrian elements (on the basis of personal names), and in tradition controlled Babylonia for 125 years (possibly in a loose tribal fashion), until ousted by Utu Khegal, king of Uruk.[l6] The dearth of material evidence of a Guti occupation may in part be due to the nature of the post-disaster stratum. Depopulation, a collapse of civic authority, commerce, and a general poverty ...
