Quote from: Buck2419AD on Apr 12, 2008, 02:36 PMI have read "Pharoahs and Kings" by David Rohl. I am convinced that he is right. What caused me to believe he was right was his use of astronomical retrocalulation in dating the Ugarit Eclipse. With only one candidate for dating the eclipse approx 1012 B.C. in May at sunset if memory serves,taking into account we know who was talking to who. It should be easy to prove or disprove his theory since only straight forward number crunching is required. I never thought Astrophysics could be used in this manner until I read his book.Well, it might depend on the edition date of that book. Last year, Rohl and his camp decided not to use that so-called pivotal date in future editions as due to mistranslation, the eclipse is more adequately dated to 1375 B.C.E. and thus only some 22-25 years from the traditional reign of Akhenaten. Some astronomical dates for eclipses can be found here...NASA - olar Eclipses of HistoryNow, if it turns out that it is not a total eclipse, then Rohl might be able to salvage that. However, it was not the original stance and much of his chronology depended upon it. It is truly a horrendous blow to his chronology and not one easily overcome. Cheers!

GRIN i see i am not the only eliyahu (touche') good job, i applaud you..... so if 1375 BC over rides 1012 BC, then how much do you wish to bet the 1513 BC exodus can be verified by the eclipse before 1375 BC. I like to play with calculators, such as add 18.6 years back to years i know are globally biblical... hmmm okay five times is 1468 BC, anyone care to check that year being that its the year Salem fell to Joshua in their last year of conquest. You havent given me a date, but what i would do is look for the supposed eclipse date in 1012 BC and look in 1375 BC, i would then be able to extrapolate what the date is from those two without knowing it and then see if that date is an eclipse in 1468 BC on my astronomy program. I'll tell you errors happen. Thompson uses a 99 and 98 BC that are actually -99 and -98 calculations (thus 100 BC and 99 BC). So you see, i dont require knowing much from you to get my footing and stand up, unlike my posts where if you are confused by me it is because the amount of data is overwhelmingly drowning. Hey what can you do when you beleive this year is it, going down quick, and youre only a breadth ahead of it this time, better prepared than when you thought it was going down in 1997.
Sheesh a Google search proves everyone is at this eclipse gamegrabbing every date to say they discovered the real date.Well in one brief session i have found the prophet who had the answer.(Do please allow me to admire the man who finds a true answer by me calling him prophet and also as WORD of God, God's truth.)And I submit it in the next REPLY and hereby have here edited out allmy usual rambling that WAS here in this post.Google it : Sivan 26 (May 3 in 1375 BC), or 1063 BC or (May 9 in 1012 BC)T. de Jong & W. H. van Soldt = A new historical dating of the tablet, and mention in the text of the visibility of the planet Mars during the eclipse as well as the month in which it occurred enables us to show that the recorded eclipse in fact occurred on 5 March 1223 BC.
i would like to take opportunity to display the various astral units that bible Genesis chronologers have used whether Egyptian or Moslem or Babylonian. Jospehus refers to a 600-year Great cycle that no one knows which .... Babylon's 2177-1991 BC (768-955)which is 2207-2020 BC (765-955) 187 years = 190x360 days, and with Peleg's death 2030-1943 BC (87 years)years 940-1027= in 360 day calendar years 944 (+88) to year 1032
I recently read a very good book by John Ashton and David Down called, 'Unwraping the Pharoahs' and their well put together argument for revising the traditional chron.what are some of the credible or legitimate problems with this endeavor? I see a win win for the Bible and a lose lose for those who are fighting this new trend.what do you all think?
I would never dare get into the concept that only humans of the past 200 years know what they are doing, and nor would i dare say that all people prior to 200 years are steeped only in religious lies.
Chronologies are based on facts that become confused.
To say that stone is ignored by reading books is to say that all the stones that were put into books in 200 AD are now destroyed crumbled stones and so we should toss the religious books who copied these stones as being now books of lies.
So tell me as our own books crumble in 200 years from now, should everyone go back only to surviving stones and rewrite new books, and change it again.
Stone or book isnt the issue but rather your hate for religion and in this case specifically anyone who mentions Jesus. Because if the book of China or Africa mentions Rome you will then accept it. But if a book of Jesus mentions Rome then you deny it. This is shear prejudice against Church and also of Genesis. Of which the two are not the same, yet when hating both then you can claim they are the same.
I maintain that Genesis was written by Moses.
Moses was from Egypt.Egypt didnt like Moses and claimed he was wrong aboutchronology and their priests were right. Your Source please!And i find it very difficult to understand why one man is wrongand all these egyptian priests are right. And in return i ask allof you, why is it that if 2000 years or Catholic priests are called liarsand claimed to be based on mythical bible books, how is it thatthe previous 2000 years before Catholicism is not accused of beingreligious Egyptian pagan priests who are all liars and based on their mythical egyptian gods and their little books.
If this is the case of lets beleive Egypt about Egypt and notCatholic about Egypt, then i ask why is it we beleive Americaabout Russia, and not Russia about Russia.
If this is a case of religion to hate, then why do we love thechronology egyptian priests write for Egypt, but we call thechronology that Catholic priests write for Catholics to be all lies.
Does not Egyptian priests lie to their laity. Did these Egyptian priests have 2000 years of truth before 2000 years of Catholic lies. I am trying to distinguish if any truth is in your words Shekmet.
Help me see it. Help me see that your thoughts are not biased and are based on hate for religion as true, or hate for bible as true,or hate for a specific religion or person Jesus.
It is a fact that both Jew and Christian who disliked each otherbase the end of dynasty 5 as Peleg's death no matter whatyear or span or fix they use. And since all evidence suggeststhat Peleg founded Ur, he has to be the founder Mesanipada.Everything then falls in mathematical order then and not by meremath magic which does exist as csinos and insurance provesnumbers can be played with. But that only proves that atheistscan play with numbers as much as these Christians you hate bylabeling their chronologies as lame.
If truth is discovered then i see how it's new.If it is rediscovered then i see how it's new.But so much is new that is not truth.And many things claimed to be discovered orrediscovered are not truth either even though theyare new or even renewed.I have gone to the calculator site that let's you pick asteroid sizeand i have attempted to see what size and speed would tilt the earth.How is it that they say that the rise of a fault 45 feet and its tsunami has made a minor change in pole. Yet no matter what size (even destroying the earth) and that program doesnt shift the Earth. I would also like to say that the program obviously strikes the Earth at equator or ecliptic plane, because in order to change tilt you would have to have direction and time of day north or south of the equator to cause that tilt. A direct center hit on Earth wont do it no matter how hard or big.The point is that all evidence proves Earth increased spin to lengthen the year from 360 to 365 to 365 1/4 days. And this created magical mathematical cycles while they tried to figure the actual real year with exact math. Of course while being busy like us today trying to be so precise they ignore the errors. The greed is not just relgious or priestly... and mind you not just Catholic, but egypt priests, and hindu priests, and babel priests all controlling people. THis is political even without a religion. Schools, scholars, doctors, archeologists play the exact same power games with money as any religion does. Whats the problem men, are you jealous as to who gets the most money doing this to people? Is it better to take a son away from a father who beats him (yes save him) and give him to foster parents who prositute him? Even Jesus did not stress precision for any day and hour, he says one tree isnt spring, but in general all the trees will tell you. So what we have here with human minds is the failure to see processes.... true actual ones, not petty burdening legal ones.
You are ignoring how many egyptologists say there was a 360-day calendar before a 365-day calendar.
Bias is bias. Accusing bias doesnt resolve its existence. Whether one listens intently or not, if they here words different than what is said, then it will seem as babble and as rambling. And this goes off into becoming new languages when you claim this word means his way and not your way or my way.As far as the whole world goes, the americans who are last of all languages have not right nor truth to say that Shekmet Shikmut Sekhmet is any true way. All the other languages before us would never spell the name in any fashion that an american nor englishman would say it.This is why the two letters (or two words) K and F.... are then spelt as Cheops as if to be K and P, and few americans ever say Kay for the word Che, much less "off" or "eff" as "ops". While fools argue spelling and pronunciation the evolving origin is ignored and that is why none connect all people as one family other than mere claim by doctrine. And so the winners are the Monkey Theory who claims they have the chain of evolving thru the ages. Well who then has the evolving of Ararat to Sumer to Egypt Hindu China Maya.... and who would they listen to. Me, nope, neither you nor others. So then? give the secret to another man and will you listen to him? no it matters not who discovers all history, the problem with the scoffers and denyers and killers is not one of their hearing clarity or the presentation. I do not see a Jesus who claims that he could clarify or present better; and then the world would listen. No matter how it is said, or no matter how he said things, the war leads to kill, and those killing watch the Christ die, and they say WE HAVE NOT HATE (while killing him, or killing it...the christ).They then say THIS IS JUSTICE, NOT HATE, and WE LOVE, WE ARE GOOD. But they all died in Jerusalem trying to kill Romans, and death is here again because there is no agreement. And when disaster comes, so do all the homes with guns come out. So sad. This forum cannot exist whole and as one because it has freedom like the USA has (had). But that freedom allows the one with truth to exist by giving everyone the equal opportunity to claim to be that truth. Praise Jehovah for that, not people who wish to silence words and call these words as rambling.Eliyahu has read my posts as much as a third time, and the light bulb comes on for him. Be like him. I truly do double read your words so i know where YOU come from; be like me. Richard Michael SchillerWaiting any day or week or month now because this is the year.I dont need meds for a depression. I can cope the depression without your meds as my Lord Jesus coped inflicted pain by others without the drug MYRHH.
You poor man- my prayers for you and yours. Let Eliyahu become like you, it has been my lifes' goal to become more like Christ. This is worthy.
