... ; he works through almost endless arguments based on foundations suggested by earlier authors (Borchardt, Edgerton, Ingham, Krauss, Leitz, Luft, Martin, Meyer, Neugebauer, Newton, Parker, Samuel, Volten etc.) but one needs a formidable reference library of Egyptological works if one is to make full sense of all that he writes about them. The one foundation he does not challenge is Schoch's tables (apparently first published 1926-1928, in more than one form). Rose routinely turns to Schoch's tables when he needs a reliable' Julian date for a phase of the moon in antiquity. In this connection, one can only observe that nobody's retro-calculation tables are universally ...
592. Chapter 17 Corroboration, Convergence, Analysis [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... technologists such as Schoch, Dayton, and Rose, stand up to these promulgators of ad hoc inventions and demand that historians accept the real facts which their fields have produced, history will remain outside the realm of reality. As Oswald Spengler, who so well understood the nature of historical research, said in no uncertain terms, "Historical writing is fiction." The Dutch historian Johan Huizinga expressed a similar view with great profundity: "History is the intellectual form in which culture decides for itself the meaning of the past."8 History will remain fiction as long as historians fail to accept that they must be guided by the facts of science and technology. So long ...
593. Out of the Desert: Archaeology and the Exodus/Conquest Narratives (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... establish a dialogue with the many not-ready-for-prime-time players who have long been interested in the subject and who have sought to solve the inherent difficulties in their own way. To be sure, others have mentioned these amateur treatments before, but usually only to ridicule them. But more often, scholars ignore them. Of course it is acceptable for scholars writing to and for other scholars to ignore the popular movements, but it is quite another matter for scholars who claim to be writing for the public to ignore the voice(s ) of that public. The latter sends a very clear message to that public about its non-role in the debate. Stiebing however has transformed the standard monologue in ...
594. Kintraw and Bibby (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... V:3 , pp. 71-79] and inviting my comment. I had no particular wish to be drawn into this discussion, which is apparently proceeding with vigour if not some acrimony. The tone of McCreery's paper, however, leaves me little choice but to take up your offer and to point out the misunderstandings and mis-statements in his writings. The more detached of your readers may then judge the position for themselves. McCreery uses three quotes from a paper by Krumbein which, although 40 years old, is still a classic. The quote "Conventional petrofabric analyses cannot readily be used for direct comparison with other sedimentary characteristics because the data is not summarized numerically" - is ...
595. Recent Developments in Near Eastern Archaeology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . 6000 BC, and a submerged village on an early shoreline of the Black Sea c. 5000 BC. The few items reported below, although less exciting, are mainly relevant to Late Bronze and Iron Age chronology. Carbon Dating and the Aegean Another leading Aegean scholar has criticised the effects of carbon dating on Aegean chronology. Sinclair Hood writing in Aegaeum 20 (1999, pp. 381-6) aligns with Peter Warren in accepting a date for the Theran eruption late in the Late Minoan 1A period, which corresponds archaeologically to the early 18th Dynasty. However, he disagrees with Warren concerning the 3rd millennium BC. Whereas Warren had accepted carbon dates for the Early Minoan periods, ...
596. The Pyramid Age, by Emmet J Sweeney (Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Introduction. Herodotus placed the pyramid builders of Dynasty 4 just before the Ethiopian era, whereas Manetho placed them some 2,000 years earlier. By drawing together evidence of many different kinds from many different sources, Sweeney arrives at the conclusion that pyramids were first constructed as recently as the 10th-9th century BC. In some ways', he writes, The work that follows may be regarded as a vindication of Herodotus. It is also, however, a vindication of both Immanuel Velikovsky and Gunnar Heinsohn'. He says the problem for Velikovsky is that if his Exodus catastrophe occurred c. 1450BC, all earlier monuments including the pyramids should have been flattened, which did not happen ...
597. Jaynes anyone? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the bicameral interpretation and the catastophic interpretation will be different. From: Clark Whelton, cwhelton@mindspring.com Date: Sun, 24 May 1998 12:26:42 -0400 Jaynes claims that catastrophes were a major causative factor in the emergence of consciousness. In "The Origin of Consciousness..." chapt. 3, he writes: "The loosening of the (bicameral) man-god partnership perhaps by (commercial) trade and certainly by writing was the background of what happened. But the immediate and precipitate cause of the breakdown of the bicameral mind, of the wedge of consciousness between god and man, between hallucinated voice and automaton action, was that in social ...
598. Forum [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon Volume VI, Number 4 Home | Issue Contents Forum Varves, Colors, And Bok Globules Mike Twose From Toronto, Ontario, writes: The idea that Earth entered the Solar System as a satellite of Saturn has some evidence against it. As everyone knows, the sunspot cycle averages a little more than 11 years in length. It is apparently controlled by the motions of the planets, with Jupiter possessing the major influence. The sunspot cycle causes changes in terrestrial weather such as the amount of rainfall. Rain runs off into lakes where it forms layers of silt known as varves. The thickness of the varves varies according to the amount of rain. Varves ...
599. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon IV:5 (Nov 1996) Home | Issue Contents Vox Popvli WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?David Michalets, from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, writes. AEON is the latest journal that provides a means of publication for research involving "myth and science." Immanuel Velikovsky started traveling this same route fifty years ago- apparently by connecting an Egyptian papyrus with events in the Bible. His Worlds in Collision further identified ancient myths with significant events in ancient cultures. Other scholars have been carrying on this investigation in the pages of such Velikovskian journals as Pensée, KRONOS, and now AEON. David Talbott, Dwardu Cardona, and others, continue ...

... date is unlikely to be earlier than about 800 B.C ., for we do not know of Iberian or Libyan inscriptions earlier than that date. The Egyptian text .. . may merely be a local American copy of some original. That original could be as old as about 1400 B.C ., to judge by the writing style." Sean Mewhinney Ottawa, Ontario *Editor's Note: According to Fell, "Further study of this remarkable stele is still in progress. Although Akhnaton's hymn dates from the thirteenth [sic - actually fourteenth century by conventional reckoning] century B.C ., this American version can scarcely be older than about 800 B. ...
