... provided a largely photographic review of the royal tomb. As the slides are not available here, the talk will inevitably lose something of its impact. The overall conclusion was that Akhenaten was indeed buried in this tomb in his 17th regnal year, conventionally around 1350 BCE. A surprising feature was that many of the burial artefacts are familiar from traditional Egyptian funeral practice, and are nothing to do with the Amarna religion. Content The talk began with a photographic journey from the modern village within the city limits of Akhetaten, up to and along the wadis leading to the royal tomb. From the planned extent of the ancient city it was evidently intended as a long-term proposition, though ...
562. Forum: In Defence of the Saturn Theory C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... seen, Plato does not even name Saturn, Jupiter or Mars, although it stands to reason that he would place them in orbits beyond Venus and Mercury, which were thought to reside at the same distance from the Earth. The first time the three outermost planets are actually named in Greek literature is in the Epinomis (987c), traditionally ascribed to Plato but now generally thought to be the work of Philip of Opus [13]. James goes on to speculate about the source of this astronomical information in Hesiod and Plato: Determining their relative distances [of the outer planets] involves a complex, but manageable, calculation, which can be made if one knows the ...
563. A Testing Time [Journals] [SIS Review]
... for the Exodus and Moses be calculated from the biblical material? This is usually done by taking Year 1 of Solomon as around 971 (according to Thiele and others) and adding 480 years from his Year 4 (967), when the Temple was constructed, to give a date of 1447 for the Exodus. According to the biblical tradition, Moses' birth is dated 80 years earlier, at around 1527, and the Conquest about 40 years later than the Exodus, in around 1407. Jericho These biblical dates then have to be related to the archaeology. In the New Chronology, Amenemhat III is placed at the time of Joseph, agreeing with John Bimson's placement of ...
564. Another Velikovsky Affray: the Histories [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Pharaoh revealed in other annals, to handle sources objectively and to use the findings to rediscover Velikovsky's initiatives. Breaking the Nexus - Pharaoh Necho and Necho II One of the easiest synchronisms between bible history and the Egyptian king lists (and accordingly never questioned) appears to be that of Pharaoh Necho Wahibre of Dyn XXVI (Necho II), traditionally allocated to the early 7th/late 6th century BC, and Jeremiah's Pharaoh Necho' and Necho, king of Egypt' [6 ]. If the death of King Josiah of Judah is allocated to -609, then Necho Wahibre must be pinned to the same period as the perpetrator, the event taking place early in his 16 year ...
565. Morphic Fields [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2001:2 (Sep 2001) Home | Issue Contents Morphic Fields RUPERT SHELDRAKE continued his talk looking at where a person's mind is located, the brain being the traditional view, though the "mind in heart" theory had been around earlier. Aristotle considered that the soul organises form. Traditionally your perception of someone comes from the light reflected off their image, into and through your eye, onto the retina's cones and into your brain. But consider that your actual perception of them is not in your brain where the image is processed, but outside of your brain and body where the person actually is! This external perception occurs through Perceptive ...
566. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . Liebowitz & R. J. Folb in Journal of Field Archaeology , vol. 7 (1980), p.41 on populations studies in Palestine. Apparently, the Balkans and Greece were extraordinarily dry around 700 B.C . causing depopulation and a gap in the archaeological record! J. W. Ahlstrom, "Another Moses Tradition" in JNES , vol. 39/1 (1980), p. 65-9. In his article Ahlstrom doesn't find enough Old Testament support for a Joshua invasion around 1200 B.C ., feeling that such a tradition arose from later rationalisations. Among his reasons for a later invasion are: Late Bronze II and Early Iron ...
567. From Myth to Physical Model [Articles]
... . Through comparative analysis and cross-referencing, one must seek out the observed patterns, for it is these patterns that provide the foundation of a systematic inquiry. If the well-documented, recurring mythical themes actually originated in a different celestial order, then a revolution in science and in our understanding of the past is inevitable. For catastrophists in the Velikovskian tradition, it is receptivity to the veiled messages of myth that provides a common ground for discussion. Without that receptivity to myth, what do we talk about? If you are considering venturing into myth in these terms, however, there is a certain risk. The risk is that, guided by the desire to know what happened, ...
568. The Founding of Rome [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... true historical reality adumbrated in the legend; joined to this suggestion are the hypotheses that various manufactures of the oldest Latium civilization reflect Cretan models and finally the theory that the Latin language reveals Mycenean traces. In consequence, the coming of Aeneas to Latium may not be an artificially created myth, but instead, in a certain sense, a tradition, that is, the echo of real occurrences, the arrival of Aegeans in Latium during the period of the Trojan War. This certainly does not go far enough to suit our views, but will do for a start. At the magnificent bimillennial exposition honoring Virgil in the beautiful setting of the Campidoglio in Rome, 1981, the ...
569. The Establishment of Gradualism [Books]
... According to Gould, Burnet was a great rationalist, if viewed within the constraints of his times. Gould wrote: "Burnet proceeded by a method used in our era only by Immanuel Velikovsky (among names well known). Velikovsky began his radical .. . reconstruction of cosmology and human history with a central premise that reversed our current tradition of argument: suppose, for the sake of investigation, that everything in the written documents of ancient civilisations is true. Can we then invent a physics that would yield such results? .. . Burnet began by assuming that only one document - The Bible - is unerringly true. His treatise then becomes a search for a physics ...
570. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... even if it did take place 2 billion years after Earth was here, and without affecting Earth. The heart of the matter is that the basic axiom of conventional astronomy, that all the planets and moons formed at one time 4.5 billion years ago, is simply not true. In a nut shell, the entire basis of traditional modern astronomy begs a seriously different and new approach. This result is one of the main points of my new comet theory which details how comets are captured into the solar system, and one by one become the planets, moons and asteroids. (19) Another example of denial by today's mainstream astronomers is found in the May 1990 ...
