... . If MBIIB does indeed correspond to the time of the United Monarchy, then we should expect to see clear evidence in the archaeological record of a period of prosperity and development unprecedented in the land of Palestine. When we turn to the results of archaeological research we find this is exactly the case. Speaking of the MBIIB period, Mazar writes: "We are presented with an astonishing picture of vigorous development in the construction of political centers and fortified towns throughout the land."(37) G. Ernest Wright gives a similar testimony: "The Middle Bronze Ages IIB and IIC are a period, therefore, of the greatest prosperity that the country had seen to that ...
272. The SIS, its history and achievements: a personal perspective [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the shakes, the heats and the sweats, but it wasn't premature menopause. But again, since conventional wisdom didn't check with all these things I felt I must be daft to think them because if what I was thinking was right then everything I had been taught at school was completely wrong. Well, there was only one person to write to and that was Velikovsky himself. So I sent off a letter to Velikovsky asking various things. One of the questions I put to him was had we orbited Jupiter or was it Saturn? ' and could he please let me know? Somebody attached to him did reply to the effect that Dr Velikovsky is very busy doing his ...
273. Out of Egypt [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... book by Ahmed Osman (Email: a.osman@virgin.net) Although the Israelites, and in particular Joseph and Moses, played so significant a role in Pharaonic Egypt, this role - apart from certain events which are graphically recorded in the Old Testament - remains curiously shadowy and confused when the Hebrew scribes eventually set down in writing what had been an entirely oral tradition. The result is that the chronology of the Old Testament is wildly at variance with the chronology of the written Egyptian records, and a principal factor in the confusion is that at the time of writing the Israelite nation was at pains to dissociate itself from its earlier involvement with the Egypt of the ...
274. Three Views of Heinsohn's Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Hyksos rulers of Egypt as well as with the 24th century BC Akkadians who exercise a strong impact on Magan and Meluhha (translated as Egypt and Ethiopia in the 1st millennium BC, to which the texts belong), a few lines might be appropriate. "During the -18th and -17th century the inhabitants of Palestine used two different systems of writing which both came from abroad. In the North (and later also in the South) we find Mesopotamian cuneiform. The language written was Akkadian. In the South, in Palestine as well as in Byblos Egyptian hieroglyphs dominated. First attempts to simplify the complicated systems of writing and adjust them to local dialects of our region already began ...
275. KA [Books]
... . Qardom is an axe. Qayin, spear, is an eye, or radiation source, of ka. Qarabh is to approach, to appear before god. Qebher is a sepulchre (Latin caverna), qesem is an oracle, qol is a voice. Qatar is to kindle incense, to sacrifice. The connection between electricity and writing is discussed in Chapter XXII, but we may note here qa'aqa, tattoo, mark cut, and chaqaq, to engrave, to ordain; a sceptre. Hebrew words beginning with heth include chaim, life; chabhar, sorcerer (cf. Kabeiro); chaghagh, to dance, to reel; chaghav, a ravine, such ...
276. Stargazers and Gravediggers by Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... astronomical, and geological enigmas, while also challenging more than a few hallowed scientific dogmas. The academic community was immediately and intensely polarized. Several world-famous "authorities" denounced the book as "rubbish" (without having read it carefully), while other scientists and scholars praised Velikovsky's method and revolutionary conclusions. Through a concerted campaign of letter writing, a successful boycott of the original publisher's textbook department was undertaken by an elite group of American astronomers. Even as Worlds in Collision hovered at the top of the national best-seller lists, the publisher was forced to suspend publication of the book, and another firm, which had no vulnerable textbook division, took it on. Thus one ...
277. Ancient Knowledge of Jupiter's Bands and Saturn's Rings [Journals] [Kronos]
... found the body of the planet Jupiter to be surrounded by several substances resembling belts or bands, and likewise that there is the faint resemblance of a belt about the planet Saturn."(2 ) To have been capable of this assertion, Taylor would have had to educe declarations concerning the two systems of divine bonds from the highly abstract writings of Proclus and to realize the recency of telescopic identification of the two systems. Actually, Galileo and his associates had sighted the rings of Saturn about 1608; however, he mistakenly believed them to be two smaller bodies of a triple-bodied Saturn.(3 ) Working with a superior telescope, Christiaan Huygens had identified the "ring" ...
278. Answer to Jonsson [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... fixed, when it comes to a discussion of ancient chronology. The terms generally agreed, and all scholars agree, do not always mean that a statement is correct, it only means that scholars, for their own reasons, are in agreement. If we accepted general agreement as correctness (facts), there would be no need to write papers. Quoting some scholar to support one's view, may appear to be a strong argument, and add scholarly references, but this in itself does not make the statement correct. It may be a fact that scholar X said this, but what he said may or may not be factual (correct), especially if we don't ...
279. Leonardo da Vinci: Rocks, Fossils, and Time [Journals] [Kronos]
... known as the Madrid Codices- continues to shed new light on Leonardo's boundless curiosity and remarkable genius. Leonardo was born in a stone house in the village of Anchiano near the small mountain-town of Vinci, not far from Florence in Tuscany. He was an illegitimate child and scarcely ever mentions his father or his mother in all of his voluminous writings. As a child, he was interested in stone structures and plants and animals (as well as art and music). In 1466, Leonardo da Vinci arrived in the city of Florence then under the control of the Medici family. He was apprenticed to the well-known Florentine painter and sculptor Andrea del Verrocchio. During his six-year apprenticeship ...
280. The Inconstant Heavens [Books] [de Grazia books]
... religion, conceived by him as the medieval synthesis of biblical religion with Platonic-Aristotelian cosmology. The voluminous unpublished works of Newton deal with many topics from alchemy to politics, but theology has the lion's share, followed next by ancient history. These unpublished works cannot be dismissed as occasional efforts. To them he dedicated more time than to his scientific writings. They are just as accurately argued and well finished. All his writings constitute a unified stream of thought of which the scientific production was only one aspect. Recently, Frank E. Manuel in Isaac Newton, Historian (Cambridge, 1963), has informed us of the contents of Newton's unpublished historical manuscripts. Manuel has made clear ...
