Additional Argument
This section of the website was added in July, 2017. The website is now subdivided into three sections. The section entitled Egyptian Volumes contains the four online books which completely revise the dynastic history of Egypt (dynasties 3-27), and to a lesser extent the history of the Empire Hittites. The Mesopotamian History section at present is home to ten papers which completely revise Kassite/Babylonian history and reinterpret the early stages of Assyrian history as outlined in the Assyrian King List. This section is as yet incomplete, and it is anticipated that a few more papers will be added over time. The Additional Argument section is just beginning. The intent is to use this section to publish supplementary materials supportive of the Egyptian volumes, drawing the attention of readers to the most recent scholarship bearing on those revised chronologies.
In the following series of papers we will not belabor the point. The vast majority will consist of at most twenty pages, excluding photos, charts and tables. And in most cases at least half of the content will consist of details already published, but necessarily included in order to provide context for the new material. Almost all of the papers are "stand-alone" articles, an accommodation to readers new to our Displaced Dynasties series of books & papers.
At this time we also encourage any readers with research and writing skills to survey relevant online materials supportive of the revised chronology, and forward the results of their research to this author at [email protected]. Appropriate submissions will be published in this section with due credit to the respective authors.
New papers, beginning with paper #3, began to appear in this section on August 15, 2017. Papers #1 and #2 are not new, but were moved to this section, where they more properly belong, from the newly retitled Mesopotamian Section.
Paper #1 Proof from Plato that the reign of Ahmose-sa-Neith (Amasis) belongs to the late 5th century BC. (previously published in the Mesopotamian section)
Paper #2 Argument that king Solomon and Amenhotep III were contemporaries. (previously published in the Mesopotamian section)
Paper #3 Revising the dates of the Phoenician kings of Byblos (ancient Gebal) serves to validate the 840-774 BC revised dates for Ramses II. (published August 15, 2017)
Paper #4 Phoenician inscriptions on tiles from the Tell el-Yahudiyeh temple of Ramses III confirm our 757-726 BC dates for that pivotal 20th dynasty king. (published September 8, 2017)
Paper #5 The fact that Egypt was governed by five overlapping dynasties in the century following the Santorini mega-explosion (ca 760-660 BC) is confirmed by the Harris papyrus, the neo-Assyrian annals of Tiglath-Pileser III, Sennacherib, Esarhaddon & Ashurbanipal, and by the papyrus documenting the travels of Wenamun. (published September 14, 2017)
Paper #6 The fact that Egypt was governed by five overlapping dynasties in the century following the Santorini mega-explosion (ca 760-650 BC) is confirmed by the Dibabiyeh stele, the Petrie version of Pasenhor's genealogy, the Berlin & Louvre stelae, and a fragmentary relief on a demolished building south of the main temple of Amun in Tanis. (published October 5, 2017)
Note: The author is taking an extended holiday from writing, and will publish no further papers on this website until January, 2019.
