... Continents, p. 204), certain items of clarification are called for. First of all, Velikovsky does not agree that Thera was Atlantis; and as far as "knocking a zero off Plato's figure" is concerned, why did you not castigate Marinatos and Galanopoulos the way you did Velikovsky? You are not only inconsistent in your writing, you are also arbitrarily critical - Cp. p. 204 with p. 90 of Lost Continents and explain the rationale behind that one. For additional bibliography on the "extra zero problem", see Pensee VI (Winter, 1973-74), pp. 51-54; KRONOS, I,2 (Summer, 1975), pp ...
332. Cultural Amnesia [Books]
... of a Fallen Sky, Edited by Earl R. Milton Home | Issue Contents Cultural Amnesia The Submergence of Terrifying Events in the Racial Memory and their Later Emergence Immanuel Velikovsky I thank you Dr. Holmes for the introduction. My comments tonight consist of informal remarks on material that I cover in a systematic fashion in the book that I am writing. This book, Mankind in Amnesia, elaborates upon new aspects that follow from my other published works [1 ]. Catastrophes In Worlds in Collision I describe two series of catastrophic events: The first took place in the middle of the second millennium before the present era, the second in the eighth century before the present era. ...
333. Dating the Amarna Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Indeed, one should ask why he made the identifications he did - of Rib-Addi as Ahab and Abdi-Heba as Jehoshaphat! Rib-Addi was only the most prolific writer of the Amarna correspondence, so we have an enormous quantity of material on him. One of the items we have, repeated time and time again in his letters, is that he writes from GUBLA, and Gubla is his main residence. Gubla, furthermore, is a place we can identify. From quite early times, from the Egyptian 6th Dynasty on, throughout the Middle Kingdom, and the 18th Dynasty, we have many references to Gubla: it is Byblos on the coast of Phoenicia. We do not know ...
334. The "Forgotten Empire". Ch. 4. (Ramses II and his Time) [Velikovsky]
... ancient world. Who were the Kheta? In the 1870's a solution was offered and accepted: the Kheta were the Hittites, occasionally mentioned in the Scriptures. It was the phonetic similarity of the names that prompted this identification. William Wright, a missionary in Damascus, came to this conclusion and also decided that the mysterious signs are Hittite writings. Since almost nothing was known of Hittite history, it was like resurrecting an empire from oblivion, and it was called "a discovery of a forgotten empire."1 However, warning voices were also heard among scholars who were opposed to the idea, very strange to them, that the ancient world of the empires of Egypt ...
335. Astronomy and Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... the centuries in which conventional chronology still keeps them prisoner. WHO FIRST PLACED RAMSES III IN THE 12TH CENTURY? In 1799, four miles from Rosetta at the western mouth of the Delta, Mr. Boussard, a French officer in General Bonaparte's army, found a stone inscribed three ways: in Greek, in hieroglyphics and in a cursive writing occasionally found on papyri, later called "Demotic" script. Thomas Young, an English physician and physicist (1773-1829) who was first to explain color sensation as due to the presence of specific nerve endings for red, green, and violet in the retina of the eye, first to understand and measure astigmatism and first to discover ...
336. The Burning of Troy [Books] [de Grazia books]
... experience afforded by the excavations of Troy can serve to expose the problems that justify a new approach. Afterwards, we can define in a preliminary way the body of techniques that needs to be assembled and developed. THE "BURNT CITY" OF TROY In some exciting passages, which have unquestionably been among the most widely read of all archaeological writing, Schliemann describes how, in May of 1873, he uncovered "The treasure of Priam," King of Troy during the war between the Greeks and Trojans. (Neither his identification of the Treasure as Priam's nor of the City as the Troy of Homer is at issue here, and therefore these problems are passed over lightly. ...
337. The Great Kingship of the Medes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the Mitanni/Median kingdom in Assyria. This latter region, it appears, became the Median centre of power, with the capital itself being moved from Ecbatana to Ashur. But who exactly was Ashuruballit? The kings of Assyria who preceded him (if we are even justified in calling them kings) were nonentities: and indeed when he writes to the pharaoh requesting presents he asks that the same tribute be sent him as had previously been dispatched to "the Hanigalbatian" (i .e . the Mitannian). It would appear that Ashuruballit was a member of the Mitanni royal family, very probably indeed a close relative of Tushratta, the murdered Great King. But how ...
338. Chapter 7 Iron, Diorite and Other Hard Rock [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... of the Old Kingdom could not have built the Giza pyramids and others during the Copper Age. The only critic to deal with this scientific-technological aspect of Heinsohn's work, Dwardu Cardona, has discussed this matter in A Return to the Two Sargons and Their Successors.1 That being the case, Cardona's work will be cited in extenso. He writes: "How the Egyptians were able to work these hard stones remains controversial. Copper tools are not hard enough to work granite and other hard stones, but as some have suggested, the Egyptians might have mastered a process now lost of giving copper a very high temper, but this surmise has not yet been proved. ' . ...

... had a four-planet system. In ancient prayers the planets Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Mercury are invoked; the planet Venus is missing; and one speaks of the four-planet system of the ancient astronomers of Babylonia. ' [This according to E.F . Weidner, Handbuch der babylonischen Astronomie (1915), p. 61, who writes of the star list found in Boghaz Keui in Asia Minor: That the planet Venus is missing will not startle anybody who knows the eminent importance of the four-planet system in the Babylonian astronomy. ' Weidner supposes that Venus is missing in the list of planets because she belongs to a triad with the Moon and the Sun. '] ...
