... "Ah." He looked at his wife Elisheva, who had come into the room. They seemed to exchange meaningful glances, but what the meaning was- if any- I still do not know. As I prepared to leave, Velikovsky asked me if I would mind sending him an advance copy of the article I planned to write, so he could check it for errors. "A journalist once made a mistake," he said. "He misunderstood the term antediluvian' and wrote anti-diluvian', making it seem as if I am opposed to floods. If we check in advance, such mistakes can be avoided." This was not standard practice for ...
632. Assuruballit [Journals] [Kronos]
... may make a difference of a few decades. Also, no allowance was left for co-regencies or common occupation of the throne, of father and son, a possibility which is always taken into account by chronologists. Presently, Akhnaton is placed between 1375 and 1358 and Assuruballit between 1362 and 1327. This enables the Assyrian king Assuruballit I to write letters to the Egyptian king Akhnaton. However, as late as 1974, Ronald D. Long was making the same point as Rowton: Mesopotamian chronology . . . does not coordinate with the eighteenth dynasty chronology which is dependent on the era of Menophreos dating. Assuruballit I and Akhnaton were contemporaries, yet if the era's dating is maintained ...

... be explored. In any case, Kugler was more clearminded on the theoretical aspects of the problem than Lowery has proved to be. The latter regrets that at the end of his presentation Kugler took a stand against catastrophism; ' that is, he dismissed as without historical significance all those passages of Greek philosophers, from Plato in his late writings to the Roman Stoics, in which mention is made of universal destructions by fire and flood, despite the fact that these passages take some elements from the myth of Phaeton. Kugler was scientifically correct, but in a peculiar sense : these ancient writers failed to see the episode of Phaeton as a unique event. This group of philosophers ...
634. Fomenko and English History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The entry in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles for the year 1017 begins, In this year King Cnut succeeded to all the kingdoms of England .. . ' [6 ]. Although, in the scheme of the Russian scholars, he was just an alter ego of Constantine VI of Byzantium, Cnut figures prominently, and in consistent fashion, in writings from Britain and Scandinavia. For example, the entry for 1028 in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles states, In this year King Cnut went to Norway with 50 ships and drove King Olaf from the land, and made good his claim to all that land' [6 ]. Similarly, in the entry for the same year in the Chronicon ...

... al-Amarna (1894), p. 38.) Further Mr. Gammon has Akhnaton as the father-in-law of Smenkhkare and Tutankhaten whereas Dr. Velikovsky's theory is that he was their father. However Dr. Velikovsky (Oedipus and Akhnaton, p. 108) quoting Glanville, in Bruton, Great Ones of Ancient Egypt, p. 129, writes, "The co-regency between Akhnaton and Smenkhkare has always been assumed..." I think that Ay was the power behind the throne of Tutankhamun and possibly of Smenkhkare as well, causing them to fight and kill each other as suggested by Dr. Velikovsky. It seems to me that most co-regencies in history have ended in a ...
... sciences, economics, law, history, medicine, and psychoanalysis, in such diverse places as Edinburgh, Charcow, Moscow, Vienna, and Zurich. He had edited Scripta Universitatis, out of which grew the University of Jerusalem [209]. He had practiced medicine and psychoanalysis in Palestine, and came to New York in 1939 to write a book on Freud. Research for that work led Velikovsky to his new ideas; by 1940 the main outlines of his work were clear, and they were incorporated now in Worlds in Collision and two projected further volumes (Ages in Chaos). Although Velikovsky had not followed the accepted mode of thought of astronomers and historians, his ...
637. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ] Fundamentalists will, no doubt, point out that that very inscription is already to hand, in the Bible (Isaiah ch.24 v.1 ), but, for us lesser mortals, God works in more mysterious ways. Albert Einstein was quite good at figuring out such mysterious ways, by all accounts. In 1953, writing to Prof. Charles Hapgood, Einstein said (in translation): "One can hardly doubt that significant shifts of the crust of the Earth have taken place repeatedly and within a short time." That, I remind you, was at a time when physicists and geologists were saying that "there is neither indication nor even the ...

... the ocean encircled the land or because of the "eternal rippling motion of the waves". These ideas are modern sophisticated literary devices and should not be imputed to primitive forms of thought. While the correctness of Velikovsky's planetary identifications is open to question, the general premise that the major gods have an astronomical origin makes more sense of ancient writings and mythology than do the countless volumes inspired by the uniformitarian premise with their inevitable recourse to the projection of modern literary and allegorical forms of thinking onto primitive minds. Derek Shelley-Pearce, Orpington, Kent. Giant Tortoises Do Not Swim Dear Sir, Michael Reade's comments on the possibility that the Earth's rotation rate increased appreciably within the last 3500 ...

... . There have been many published speculations about the event and there seems to be a new story every decade: most curious, perhaps, are such stories as A. Kazantsev's "nuclear-powered space ship" and F. Zeigel's "flying saucer". Although I have had my own thoughts on the subject for many years, I hesitated to write about so uncertain a matter until I read a reference to the Tunguska event in WORKSHOP 5:1 , p. 33, in which it is reported that a team of US scientists have concluded that the Tunguska impact was caused by a meteoric fragment which originated from the comet Encke. This comet has been with us since its discovery ...

... crypts. Even this is not all the evidence in favour of a high antiquity. In one of the crypts (No. 9), according to Ebers and Dümichen, there are two references to the earliest plans of the temple. One inscription states that the great ground-plan (Senti) of Ant (Denderah) was found in old writing on parchments of the time of the followers of Horus (sun-worshippers) preserved in the walls of the temple during the reign of King Pepi. Another inscription goes further, referring to the restoration by Thothmes III. (circ. 16&0 B.C .) of the temple to the state in which it was found described ...
