The Mitanni were rivals of Egypt. They brought the chariot into the fertile crescent.

Here’s a 7 minute video about them:

archaeological dig - discovering several rooms, inscribed clay tablets and wall paintings....Cuneiform writing on one of the tablets indicates the palace site, called Kemune, dates to the Middle Bronze Age, about 1800 BC.

Yup. Any errors in the text are a combo of my missing any artifacts that slipped in during the OCR scan by whomever did that. :^)

Ooh, nice, full text online (it's also online other ways, but this appears to just be, read it as you like).

I don’t doubt that at all. He upsets the gentlemen at their breakfasts. Good for him.

Some people aren’t afraid to say that the sky is NOT falling! He’s one of them.

Icon of the sicko Scientific Establishment Carl Sagan [whose daughter later said he smoked marijuana every day of his adult life] wrote an entire book about why Velikovsky was ‘wrong.’ In it pothead Sagan nailed himself as a phony, using no scientific method but only a rabid, frantic dislike of Velikovsky.

The Scientific Establishment threatened Velikovsky’s publisher with a boycott of ALL their books at college bookstores if they didn’t stop publishinvg and distributing Velikovsky’s books. Velikovsky published a whole book consisting of their threatening letters to his publisher.

I have two of Velikovsky’s books, but there are several more I want. I just can’t find them for the prices I can afford.

Thank you for posting it! I love it every time they make a find that pushes the timeline of cultures back further than assumed. Anywhere... but specially in the Americas. :)

The Stalin-style show trial by the AAAS sounds like it originated in the jackbooted Sagan’s brain, such as it was.
