3. In southern Scandinavia Mesolithic material culture was used for both practical purposes and for status. It begins with the Maglemose, then goes through...
Greetings, Balaam is the famous Bible character whose 'dumb ass' (2 Peter 2:15,16) spoke to him, warning him of his impending death, should he continue on his...
I don't think Baalam was a bad guy, rather he seems to have had some bad PR (from some people who had been mis-behaving and needed a scapegoat.) The passage...
Baalam was apparently an inconsistent person, he went about looking for power stones, and his name was eponymos to a false god not to Yahweh. So apparently he...
I think the issue about the Baalam inscription, is not what he or anyone has to say in the inscription, but rather, that the inscription and something about...
My reading on this, is that Baalam should have sent the messengers away without letting them spend the night. He already knew God's will, but was hoping God...
Mary Christine, You and I both have mis-named Balaam. I first caught my mistake when I typed Baalam into Strong's concordance online. No hits! His name,...
Hello Mary, It would be very kewl is we, here at 'ancient chronology' could come up with a list of archeological evidence which supports scripture. You wrote: ...
Greetings Mar, ... away without letting them spend the night. He already knew God's will, but was hoping God would change his mind, even though he told the...
Interesting take, BTW, Mar is a title, not the name, so just Michael will do. ... From: zoe_lithoi <zoe_lithoi@...> Subject: [ancient_chronology] Re:...
_Numbers 24:1_ (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=4&chapter=24&verse=1&version=9&context=verse) KJV And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD...
Hi all, I think this discussion needs some scholarship behind it. I don't see much quoting of historians or archaeologists or biblical experts. It would...
All, I recommend the following article about Balaam and how various scholars down through the ages have interpreted him. The Story of Balaam - The Scriptural...
Chapter 1, The Imperial Hittites and their Neighbours. In this chapter Newgrosh describes the conventional chronology for Late Bronze Age "Hittite" history....
Newgrosh goes on to discuss CTH 76 (the treaty between Muwatalli 2 and Alakshandu) and compares it with other Hittite texts, especially KUB XXIII 102. The...
Hi all, I have a new blog at: http://vernerable.wordpress.com All my New Courville essays have been posted under the "Papers" section. I'll be shutting down ...
Greetings everyone, I'ld like to present 2 archeological cases where carbon dating methods favor 'high chronology'... though not without controversy. The 2...
... I won't close it down for a while (maybe another year). The problem is that Yahoo might close it down due to inactivity. There aren't any such problems...
I wouldn't worry too much about Yahoo shutting it down for lack of activity. Episcopate files are still accesable, and its last posting was in June 2003. ...
Greetings, The astrological world Daniel came into - Part 1 There are thousands of Babylonian and Assyrian clay tablets with astrological data on them. Some of...
Zoe, You may know of this already. If so, my apology. There's credible evidence that Halley's comet circa 11-12 BC could have been the Christmas star. More on...
Too early. In any case, this whole thing ties to the prophecy about a star rising out of Jacob, so there was something abnormal about all this. In a message...
Infowolf, Maybe not. According to Dio Cassius, in 12 BC Caesar Augustus presided over the funeral of Marcus Vipsanus Agrippa (his number-one guy in Palestine) ...
I think there were TWO censuses done. Joseph and Mary travelled in the second census. This was in some book sorting out the apparent conflicts in details. The...
Infowolf1 Might well have been two censi (sic) but in my book a comet is the best kind of astronomical object to tally against the nativity story. Halley's...
The astrological world Daniel came into - Part 2 It's amazing how many ancient Assyrian, Persian, Chaldean, and Babylonian clay Tablets, written in 'Cuniform'...
Greetings Bob, 11bc is too early, IMO, a date for the birth of Jesus. Why? Well, Jesus died at the age of 32 or 33, and if he was born in 11bc, then His death...
