Reading a skan-original "first printed" of the Ostrozhsky (OstRih) Bible of 1581 y. (see - Sources), auxiliary I've used traditional Synodal (RST) and Church-slavic (CS) versions. Soon I began to notice a difference of senses in texts of Bibles. Reading, only for the sake of acquaintance with a curiosity, has turned to the most fascinating detective research. The book "Exod", in (RST), (CS), (OstRih), (Torah), and parts of other books, a line by a line - in parallel, has been read, and the differential table is made. (drafts: bible-exodus.narod.ru) Gradually I linked up other canonical and uncanonical Bibles to comparison (see Sources), including, electronic versions of Bibles of 'The Sword Project'. The intention of my researches was not to prove something, being based on "indisputability" of the selected sources, but only to draw the attention to an informative difference of their texts. And usually, there where it was, opened new, was cleared up dim ... At this stage trustworthiness of sources of absolute value had no. Soon behind a difference of texts which could be accepted sometimes for a typing error, the tendency of deliberate distortions began and overwondering to come to light. For example, if in the majority of old canonical Bibles, the Moses led the people (KJV) "into the midst of the sea upon the dry" - (AB) "the waves were congealed in the midst of the sea", but in the Bible of 2000 (RBC) it is already unambiguously specified "on a sea floor". It happened a qualitative turn in perception of annals of Exod with accumulation of the material . Obvious distortions have served as a key to restoration of initial sense of all.. The appearenced picture grasped, before unknown, feeling of almost visual vision of ancient events. Vitally natural, they, followed one another, proceeding one from another, as links of one indissoluble chain. Developing interest forced me to go further and further in clearing up of this ancient, and now such close truth of a life. Eventually, I reconstructed, an outline of events obvious to me, and I bring to your attention the first of reviews - 'The plagues of Egypt' - a volcanic winter.

What better way to spend the day?
And who works on Labor Day?
That does smell like smouldering charcoal, and a delicious selection of grllled meat, rather than, say, brimstone. Ah well, they’ll be back on the job tomorrow.
*yawn*
Thanks for this post Civ. I’ve recently started reading a PDF version of Ages in Chaos and this thread’s author seems to be working already well plowed ground. The more I read/learn of Velikovsky the more I’m inclined to pay closer attention to his work. Now about the sun standing still...
There’s something *beyond* “WTF”?
Whoa.....heavy cosmic concept, dude.

I tried checking several different king/pharoah lists, but was not favorable impressed as they did not identify sources. Finally went to Wikipedia which does identify its sources. The figures there for the 18th Dynasty are almost identical to the ones I used in forming my hypothesis even though my book was published 30 years ago. Dates for other dynasties were not alway the same., some off by 10 or 20 years, and early ones by a century or more.
:’) It would be nice if Dr V had published “Ages In Chaos” first, and WiC maybe not at all, because that led to his not getting a fair hearing.

Stephen Quirke’s book, I think it’s simply called “Who Were the Pharaohs”, discusses the pharaohs named and ordered by the surviving versions of Manetho, and other sources, with an eye toward whether the existence of each is verified in a monumental inscription in Egypt, anywhere. In the process he mentions some which are attested in the monuments, but not in the ancient lists. Manetho’s list was probably derived from the same sources used to make the list carved into the interior wall of the Temple of Seti the Great; M’s list doesn’t survive in the original, only as quotes in other surviving ancient works.
There didn’t used to be, but then this topic appeared. :’)
That’s great!
He had the greatest job on Earth during his prime.
That is an amazing piece of work! The guy must have had a pornographic memory, or something. Does this mean I won’t have to finish Ages in Chaos?
