... the pottery in association with cities I and II as the same as that found throughout the mining area.7 Glueck's deduction seemed adequately confirmed by finds of pottery samples in the adjacent mining area which revealed a definite Assyrian influence, and which were "hardly distinguishable" from Assyrian parallels.8 There were also discoveries of items inscribed with Minean writing like that which had been dated to the 7th-6th centuries.9 These finds were taken to indicate a time not far removed from the known presence of the Assyrians in this area, i.e . the late 8th century and later. Also unearthed at Ezion-geber was the south standing wall of a large structure which Glueck identified as a ...
532. The Woman Who Wondered (Prof. Dr. Hertha von Dechend) [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... . Some of her critics have alleged the significant influence of Frobinius in an attempt to somehow diminish her bold accomplishments, but such minor attacks are usually regarded as petty attempts at character assassination and dismissed. That Frobinius possessed a natural curiosity, believed in the sharing of tradition and technology by ancient people, and dared to put his ideas into writing is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, Frobinius is still cited in a number of different areas of research. Frau Von Dechend may well have been inspired by Frobinius, however the direction and method of her work was entirely her own. Her major publications were few, a situation many have sought to alter for many years ...

534. Bouquets and Brickbats: A Reply to Martin Sieff [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... which was also destroyed at the end of EB III, should have remained in ruins during the Middle Bronze until rebuilt in the Late Bronze, during the reign of Ahab of Israel. Contrary to this, archaeological evidence indicates a major occupation during the Middle Bronze with very few remains from the Late Bronze.15 The above prompted Sieff to write that "Cardona should read his Bible more closely," following which he set out to show his readers where I went wrong: Within a generation of Joshua's death, right in the heart of the Middle Bronze I period, Jericho, the city of palm trees . . . is again flourishing, inhabited by the Moabite enemies of ...
... islands were handwriting in the sky proclaiming the apple from the tree of knowledge to be a fruit of Sodom. Before that event came to be, a world frenzied in destruction for six years struggled over the Teutonic Millennium. Wells sat in London, paying scant attention to the bombs falling around, contemplating his by now numerous infirmities, and writing Mind at the End of Its Tether. The atomic age had not yet arrived. But it must have been terror inherited from ancestors, never before breaking to the surface in him, or else a vision of a pregnant future, an eschatology, focused on the nearest future, that turned a lifelong preacher of hedonism and pleasure into ...
536. Asimov's Guide to the Velikovsky Affair [Journals] [Kronos]
... Worlds in Collision in 1950. Seldom, if ever, accused of modesty, Asimov brags that ever since he was a child he could remember everything he read. "Even today I don't have to research most of my books. The stuff is in my head, and all I have to do is check the facts after I've finished writing." The details of this latter procedure are unclear. Does this mean that facts diverging from the finished "explanation" are summarily expunged? To judge from Asimov's recapitulation of the Velikovsky affair (Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact, October 1974), this must be the essence of his method. It seems hardly believable that he ...

538. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... would answer Michael Reade most probably as follows: (i ) Bible chronology jumps in pious multiples of 40 years. Thus, the Bible fundamentalist date of Solomon carries no real weight in scholarly circles; (ii) an archaeology for Solomon could never be established beyond doubt. He is either a nostrified character taken from other ancient Near Eastern writings - e.g ., well accessible royal inscriptions - and/or an anthropomorphisation of a celestial deity; (iii) the sequence of events and characters in the Bible cannot be taken as a historical sequence. This is not due to any intention of the bible compilers to falsify the true record but to the lack of any ...
539. The Legends of the Jews: Volume I - Noah [Books]
... under, what would they have to eat, they who needed daily a thousand camels, a thousand horses, and a thousand steers? These two sons of Shemhazai, Hiwwa and Hiyya by name, dreamed dreams. The one saw a great stone which covered the earth, and the earth was marked all over with lines upon lines of writing. An angel came, and with a knife obliterated all the lines, leaving but four letters upon the stone. The other son saw a large pleasure grove planted with all sorts of trees. But angels approached bearing axes, and they felled the trees, sparing a single one with three of its branches. When Hiwwa and Hiyya ...
... which claimed divine revelation as its source. In the early days of his research, and long after his name became associated with quackery and crankism, he sought out expert advice as well as professional support. Dr. Schwartz of the New York Public Library Oriental Department discussed parts of Velikovsky's theories with him and advised him not to try to write in English; Velikovsky admitted that his English was "ferocious" (atrocious?), but he was determined to present his vision to the Americans in an idiom they could comprehend. Ralph Marcus, a Columbia translator of the Jewish historian Josephus, more pointedly advised Velikovsky to quit history and stick to psychology. On the other hand ...
