... for the accession of David we reach 951 and the 19th Year of Solomon - and yet it is Horemheb and not Ramesses II who sits on the throne in Egypt. Pharaoh's daughter is already married off to Solomon and the Temple is complete. On this basis then, Solomon's father-in-law cannot be Ramesses II and, if, as the Talmudic traditions state, the Egyptian princess is the daughter of Shishak then Ramesses II cannot be Shishak either. Similarly, if we add up the known highest regnal dates for the kings following Amenhotep III we get the following picture: Akhenaten 9 years (coregency of c.8 years); Tutankhamun 9 years; Ay 4 years; Horemheb 13 ...
662. 2nd SIS Cambridge Conference Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... and, possibly, Hekla 3, linked by Hammer and colleagues to their 1120 30 BC acid layer. It quickly became apparent, most notably through comments from Kevin Pang, that the two later events might relate in some way to the start and end of the Chinese Shang dynasty. It is equally of interest that the Egyptian New Kingdom traditionally spans the approximate range 1570 to 1080 BC. So the question arose whether these two volcano-related events could have caused widespread dynastic change. In order to proceed with this debate it is necessary to attempt to get a better handle on the nature of the effects. This paper will look at information from American and Fennoscandian tree-ring records and make ...

664. New Chronology of the World History [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... chronicles and records (such as Egyptian, Byzantine, Roman, Greek, Babylonian, European etc.). A wealth of historical data is considered. The conclusions which are drawn concerning the accepted chronological dating of events in ancient history will certainly provoke controversy and serious debate. The author suggested a new chronology which is dramatically different from the traditional one. For example, new short chronology place ancient Rome and Greece in medieval epoch. The main result is as follows: the modern "textbook" of traditional ancient and medieval history is the fibred chronicle derived by gluing together the four practically identical replicas A,B ,C ,D of the shorter chronicle A. Three chronicle ...

666. The Identification of the Biblical "Queen of Sheba" with Hatshepsut, "Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia" (Part III) [Journals] [Kronos]
... Ophir. And the queens departure, and the presents, which she exchanged with the king, are described alternately with an enumeration of the treasures which the said fleet had brought back from distant countries.66 In other words, Velikovsky's supposition that the queen passed through Ezion-geber on her way to Jerusalem is fully supported by Hebrew records. This tradition blends perfectly with the Ethiopian one as preserved in the "Kebra Nagast," which also makes her come and go by sea. Concerning the provenance of the queen, Velikovsky found the answer in Josephus, a writer whose reliability had been questioned by former generations but whose reputation has been restored and confirmed by archaeologists of today. Josephus ...
667. "Heaven and Earth": Catastrophism in Hamlet [Journals] [Kronos]
... . (33a) They are primordial responses to primordial frameworks of belief. Hamlet, like Oedipus and the Purgatorio, can take myth and ritual as still alive. Its imitation of human action "undercuts" or precedes all theory. If it is "the" modern play, it is also very ancient, the heir of the great tradition.(34) Hamlet is therefore ritual drama presented in a ritual theatre whose stage symbolized the medieval cosmos and whose facade can be traced back to Greece.(35) The Elizabethan theatre may thus be regarded as the heir of the Greek tragic theatre with its ritual basis . . . and the ritual component in its drama has ...
668. "Just Plainly Wrong": A Critique of Peter Huber (Second Installment) [Journals] [Kronos]
... my paper on "Babylonian Observations of Venus" in its entirety. That paper, written in mid-1972 and first published early in 1973 in Pensée IVR III, summarized the work that Raymond C. Vaughan and I had done up to that point. There were many subjects that were not treated in that summary, one of which was the traditional argument that the intercalations found in or needed in the Ninsianna observations "fit" the intercalations attested under Ammizaduga. This supposed "fit" allegedly ties the Ninsianna observations to the reign of Arnmizaduga. It will be shown below that there is no such "fit" and that this "main argument" of Huber's, that the observations ...
669. Seismology, Catastrophe, and Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... field from which I had started. Having found in the Scriptures descriptions of events that took place in Egypt and in the nearby desert, I legitimately asked: and where are the Egyptian testimonies to events of this nature? This inquiry led me, first, to the Papyrus Ipuwer, then to the naos of el-Arish, then to Arab traditions, and then to the traditions of many other peoples and races- to the extent that this material had to be separated from Ages in Chaos into a book by itself, Worlds in Collision. The inquiry into paleontological and geological fields, and in climatology and paleomagnetism then needed to be separated into Earth in Upheaval. I regard myself ...
670. Earth without a Moon [Journals] [Pensee]
... long time. Of course, it is of no use to counter this psalm with the myth of the first chapter of Genesis, a tale brought down from exotic and later sources. It is probably the most remote remembrance of mankind: the time when there was no moon. The memory of a world without a moon lives in oral tradition among the Indians. The Indians of the Bogota highland in the eastern Cordilleras of Columbia relate some of their tribal reminiscences to the time before there was a moon. "In the earliest times, when the moon was not yet in the heavens," say the tribesmen of Chibchas (9 ). The traditions of diverse people offer ...
