Endnotes to Journey2

1 Entitled Memphis, Merneptah and Ramesses and the Winged Disk of Judah. The title might be a mouthful so I often refer to it as "In Memphis", .... etc.

2 As time passed, I became aware those failures were not an adverse reflection on my abilities. I persevered at University despite the setbacks. Bill Gates and other whizz kids (sensibly) walked out on the universities.

3 Both Eastern and Western Academies for they are both now substantially corrupted. The reader may soon gather that the writer now claims to stand for the Middle Eastern (or Middle Western from an Eastern Hemisphere perspective) Academy now solely represented in the debate by the Bible. We may now even refer to the Bible as the Last Vestige of the Ancient (Mid-East/-West) Academy. Now, in these Last Days of the regimes that have been controlling the World these last 6000 or so years, The Bible is having the last laugh at the expense of the Western and Eastern Acadamies.

4 My first primary school was at Send Village, Woking. The boy from Send was sent to Ripley then New Zealand. The name of the oldest man who ever lived, Methuselah, means "When he dies (mot) It (He) will be sent (selah)".

5 On entering RCP I was already convinced (or "convicted" a more fashionable word in churchianity) of the merits of the Bible and ALL its messages or what God spells out (Godspell). As we progress, the writer will draw out how Ripley's Christian approach to teaching History as His-Story, was also quite inappropriate for church life in NZ. I now say this mostly in retrospect but also to a little extent from snippets of awareness as time and experience progressed; but one realised the New Zealand Company, which had since its early 19th Century inception hated Christianity, and the Government, did not want churches discussing the full message of the Bible. Nor did these organisations want Christianity having any impact on the way New Zealand would be developed as a model society. But this is also true world-wide now. Having defeated Christians in their own countries, Western Governments, assisted by many Eastern or even Middle Eastern Governments, are trying to destroy Islam in a similar way. Islam, however, is pernicious stuff as is Evolutionism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Maori Panentheism, Paganism, Animalism, Occultism, New Ageism etc. Nevertheless, Christians, as does God, defend the right of any person to subscribe to any of these belief systems. But people need to be aware of the costs of getting it wrong.

6 Coincidental? Looking back, this 'history-prophecy of Narnia', the attempts by the Calmorines in later history to distort Narnia's past, and of course Orwell's point in 1984, all accumulated over the years to lead one to the point that Mrs Woodvine's decision was far more momentous than any of us could have believed. This his-story (The Journey) very strongly suggests: I believe, though one cannot be dogmatic about such things; that God's hand was in that decision if not the main driving force therein.

7 That is the seven (symbol of Perfection in the Bible viz., 777 versus 666) books in the Narnia series. The author has not read Mr Lewis' other material.

8 "The Deeper Magic that the Witch did not know about". The parallel in the original in Jesus (or Yeshua) of Nazareth, The Messiah or Christ of Israel (not Narnia) is that when Satan beguiled Adam and Eve he did not realise that the Son of God out of Love would take the Man's place and bear the punishment for us. Satan knew 'The Son', before He was named "Jesus-Yeshua". Satan knew 'The Son' well from the previous aeons of the Universe and even from before the beginning of the Universe. The angels watched the Universe being created, for their enjoyment long before (11 billion years earlier?) Man's Creation. Satan, 'Full of the sum in Wisdom and Beauty' (Ezekiel 28:12), could not have foreseen Jesus' great Act of Love and Sacrifice. In Lewis' story, the Witch did not foresee "the greater Magic". People debate whether Lewis should have written this stuff. As allegories go, it is brilliant, in this author's opinion, though one is not a great fan of allegory as such. "Love" is much more than "Magic" but if a story like this helps very young people (children) with an intermediate understanding of the issues, is there any harm in that?

9 At Ripley Court Preparatory School (RCP), the writer was a 'day- boy' from Woking. The majority of 'day-boys' came from snooty Guildford. 'Day-boys' were very much the minority amongst the boarders and made to subtly feel that lowered status (2nd Class). But "Woking day-boys" ranked third out of the three classes.

10 This time permanently, because the family (my younger brother Ian, born in 1960), visited NZ in 1958 for six months on furlough (NZ missionary-speak) so that Dad could spend time with JKM HQ.

11 For example Warwick Hogg's assault, refer Endnote 22. Warwick was the school bully, or one of them anyway. Of low intelligence, as adjudicated by the system of Comprehension, he resorted to physical strength to gain status. I was all brain no brawn. Warwick was mostly brawn with less brain. I met him 50 years later at a St Andrew Street Church of Christ Drop-
in Centre. It seemed to me, Warwick had not changed but we got on quite well even so. He had caused the minister a bit of minor trouble apparently.

12 Again, I perhaps repeat with caveats, unless somehow God's Hand was in this. The caveat may be necessary because along with studying both Latin and French all the way through my pre-university education, apart from Standards 3 and 4 (in NZ), I then only belatedly studied Hebrew. That was from about 1989. At long last, I determining to read Hebrew; and some Egyptian hieroglyphs. In that long process, it could be argued, especially by Materialists, that my brain seemed to have developed an ability to see word patterns others may have missed. That "skill" (or perhaps gift in a New Testament context), I advisedly suggest, helped me decode some critical information from ancient writings. I did that in the light of the revised chronology which enforced an effective re-write of ancient political and geo-political history. That opened new boulevards or vistas for thought and research which most other researchers are ignoring.

13 To be fair, in mass-education systems (education for the masses), the median has to be catered for. Management cannot be expected to pander to all eventualities or minority issues. They could not be expected to tweak this evaluation system to cater for my particular skill-
set. They did select me for the special Museum-School Programme I attended with Malcolm Forster although that may simply have been to ensure Malcolm did not go truant (or "wag" school in Kiwi parlance). So there are swings and roundabouts in these matters. I now belatedly understand that my independent study of history was a threat. This generated hostility though people usually failed consciously to perceive it that way. Underneath there was a deep nation-wide hostility to the history that interested me. In New Zealand, this may reflect discomfort at the history of New Zealand since the European era. But the Maori or Polynesian society the Europeans overwhelmed had its discomforting realities as well. Thus, Europeans and Polynesians may therefore have vested interests in dropping the subject of History altogether.

14 Oddly enough mostly written by a Mr Henry Treece or a Mr Geoff Trease. Later, in another peace initiative, I began reading Mr Willard Price's Adventures ... beginning with Underwater Adventure. I did a class review of this book in Form 1 at Macandrew Intermediate. As part of the review, I began reading out loud a passage in the book. The short reading was supposed to stimulate a demand to read the book. I got to the point where a scorpion began creeping over the face of the main character while he was diving in an aqualung suit. I then effusively slammed the book shut in front of the class and finished reading the selected portion. Immediately, there was a sea of hands as every class member; they usually slept through these sessions; wanted to be first to take the book out of the library.

15 Even now (latest edit January 2015) I know far more about China's history from that book than all the Chinese I meet around the world. Any complaints I have of New Zealand's treatment of History in Schools are dwarfed by the obvious failings of China's government in this regard.

16 I do now. Although the following is a highly contentious and oft-debated point, these 'cycles' we perceive in history are really linear not cyclic. Each one is actually quite different in terms of resources, technologies, climate, environment, human population and education and health thereof, social and economic systems etc. There are myriads of variations of these factors in each region for each era whether we see similarities in China, France or Mali or anywhere else. All Creation learns something new from each situation. That will be demonstrated in the Messianic Kingdom and no doubt in the Eternal State when those two eras arrive.

17 As readers of my book (Memphis, Merneptah and Ramesses ....) and sundry papers will note, we now know that ancient Egyptians referred to Israel as either "Retinue" or as part of "Punt". The details can be left for those documents. "Jerusalem" seems to have the name Kadesh (modern Arabic El Kuds) amongst ancient Egyptians.

18 Most people looking at the 'dichotomy' presumably conclude the Bible is not therefore to be regarded in any significant way as 'historical'. That was not the position this author took at the tender age of ten and still is not.

19 Years later, when I discovered William Flinders Petrie's excavation reports (1908-14) for Memphis on an Otago University Library shelf, in the newly rebuilt or refurbished building, I also found out the museum in its very early days had been a department of the University of Otago (New Zealand's first 'varsity'). The museum's useful collection of Classical and Middle Eastern artifacts was a heritage from the days when it helped fund Mr Petrie's principal employer, the Egypt Exploration Fund.

20 I must have shown some promise at rugby. I was quite good at sports, in general, but my cricket suffered from a much later-diagnosed left-eye difficulty. That problem did not affect me in other games I played but stamina then became my weak point. Rugby required considerably less stamina than soccer, especially in the back-line.

21 I remember Dr Lockerbie explaining the slow development of this sequence over a thousand years. Later I realised the time-spans of these eras were a fiction for the chronology problem shows how the sequence really spread over just 500 years (or less, possibly) as one would expect from modern examples of ceramic sequences. This is part of the "Dark Ages" problem. There really was no Dark Age in ancient Greek history. There was a period of instability for a few decades after the Trojan War (circa 780 BC). But a 500-year era of darkness from approximately 1300-800 BC is a fiction formed by the establishment of the false chronology.

22 Paul and sister Winsome, are Maori. When Warwick Hogg (c.f., Footnote 11) tried to bend my arm off in the school playground and "yield" to the fact that New Zealand was superior to Britain, I refused but was too weak to get out of his grip. Paul walked up and told Warwick to "leave him alone". I had no more trouble wth Warwick and my perception of the Maori was obviously very positive after this incident. The Maori account of Maui holding the sun and the moon in the sky above the land has its parallel in Joshua 10 and is an important issue in all this. I will deal with this more in The Journal. Sadly, like the European, modern Maori discount the truth and import of the two accounts, one written down by the Jews at the time (circa 1445 BC) and the other handed down by oral tradition.

23 The 19th Century gold-rush in Otago led to the European founding fathers or burghers of Dunedin, the Edin-burgh of the south (Dun). Edin is probably derived from the same Semitic root for judgement as in issuing laws or awarding or witnessing contracts etc., as in M'edin-ah now a sacred city in Arabia. Dunedin's burghers established a university in Dunedin before any other New Zealand Company centre. Dunedin became New Zealand's largest city. Among other divisions, the university established a mineral technology school and a medical school.

24 Run by Mr John Harraway a much liked and very skilled teacher. Member of a local flour-milling family.

25 Britain, New Zealand's biggest (or nearly so) trading partner, had recently entered the European Union. The family business (J.K.Mooney or "JKM" ) believed it would get pushed out by larger businesses more able to meet import-export regulations emanating from this new development. That gave a rationale for Uncle Norman's decision to re-invest or divest the firm's resources. Or, the firm would also need to re-capitalise. That was apparently out of the question. So rather than consign me to a job in a manufacturer in England my parents thought a better future lay ahead for me at Otago University.

26 The sort of thing that regularly happens to England Football teams in the World Cup.

27 I was on the squash club's organising committee and became secretary when my friend Chris Glasson became President one year. An interesting yarn on that activity has been transferred to The Journal.

28 Only when I got to Wellington in my 'professional' career from 1979 to 1998 did I get a keen sense for the role of the university. By which time, I realised just how corrupted the university system had become.

29 I used this once at a party-game where players had to say one good thing about themselves and one bad thing. The good thing was that I had traversed the equator three times before the age of nine. Years later (circa2011) a dermatologist suggested that equator and hemisphere criss-crossing on slow-going ocean liners traversing a full range of climate zones; and New Zealand and the United Kingdom, going through both canals (Panama twice and Suez once); had triggered some mis-response in my immune system. That led, ultimately, to diabetes and intense and severe chronic itching - perhaps not such a good thing in retrospect.

30 Implicitly speaking here of a nadir for a Christian to be employed in a subsidiary company of a beer baron. As it turned out, the real nadir arrived when in my sixties I could only get work doing long hours cleaning toilets on the minimum wage. The sort of fate that awaits the Joseph's (refer Genesis) Jeremiah's and Amos's of this world and all those who are not P(&PPPRSS)C. Israel's King David was relegated to keeping the sheep in his family while his older brothers consorted with the royal family (a little bit of exaggeration here. The flock of David's father Jesse (Ishai) was used to supply lambs for the annual Passover (Pesach) in Jerusalem.

31 while I was at Macandrew Intermediate School, I received many sessions of injections to assuage this problem. But they did nothing for me. The hay-fever only finally gave way when serious problems with itching skin developed in the mid 1980's.

32 Or Emmanuel, i.e., "God with us". "Immanuel" is presumably a more respectful form of the name or title. For example, religious Jews never say "God" but Adonai or Ha Shem (The Name) instead.An important aspect of my research is triangulation. One dot is a simple point. Two dots are the minimum required to construct a line. But three dots are the minimum required to form the beginnings-only of a trend. This should be true for, or a policy for, any research, science or academic inquiry. Perhaps it also should be for any Christian wanting to discern God's will for their lives.

33 An important aspect of my research is triangulation. One dot is a simple point. Two dots are the minimum required to construct a line. But three dots are the minimum required to form the beginnings-only of a trend. This should be true for, or a policy for, any research, science or academic inquiry. Perhaps it also should be for any Christian wanting to discern God's will for their lives.

34 It is interesting to say that now. To be honest, I doubt I actually considered this on that particular afternoon. I was mainly thinking that University would not be, or need to be, a necessary part of my life. I did not know what I was doing there anyway. I could get on with something else and my parents would be able to see the sense or logic in that. So all would not be lost. But, as it has turned out, I did marry a university education and professional career with an academic investigation into what is little short of a massive world-wide scandal. But it also effectively obviated marriage and family life: although that did not cross my mind at that time either.

35 "ORIGIN perhaps from the given name Nicholas, or from the name of the Pharisee Nicodemus, known for his naive questioning of Christ." This definition is in the WordPerfect Dictionary which I checked when first writing this word (2014). I doubt this meaning but if correct one learns something every day. Nicodemus helped Joseph of Arimathea bury Jesus. The Jewish Sanhedrin actually deposed him as its leader. His impending deposition was probably the reason for the secrecy surrounding his first recorded dealing with Jesus - "at night". Then, he was beginning to believe Jesus. At the tomb he put his money where his heart was.

36 The class had serious students from several different disciplines. So it would have been a competitive and keen group sitting the exam. Therefore, assuming scaling had occurred because the exam might have been a bit too easy for this particular class, my result has to be considered a very good one despite the relatively modest grade. This sort of thing is a bit unfair on those who therefore have to repeat the class even though they met a reasonable standard and deserved a pass. The year I passed, I was repeating the course, as noted, but my circumstances were a little different (illness, stress). The good thing about all this is that I sat for two years listening to John Harraway's lectures and his unique methods of explanation. In the long-run, this paid extra dividends. It helped shape my research skills especially my understanding of hypothesis-testing. John trained us in the art of variable weighting. John had wonderful skills in this way and the lectures were interesting. He managed to get complex mathematical concepts into our minds. At King's High School, our maths teacher, Mr Graham Haase, had these skills.

37 My principal interest was in the historical reconstruction. Velikovsky first became well known for his cosmological theories. That work reconstructs our understanding of the recent (since circa 2450 BC) history of our solar system. As recently as 2014, I spoke to the head of NASA after he delivered a lecture in Wellington. He told me that NASA is investigating Velikovsky's cosmology. Data from many space satellites confirm that Velikovsky's interpretation of ancient legends about catastrophes involving the planets is quite justifiable. It would only be in the detail that he could be proved inaccurate. In August 2014, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced it had locked a spacecraft into orbit around a comet to investigate how comets could have introduced the building blocks of life, or life itself, into the earth's primitive or early environment, something Velikovsky also suggested. Our work has vindicated his Egyptology. It should be noted that if the ESA genuinely believes its own press releases, or propaganda, then "evolutionism" effectively becomes just an idea and can no longer be regarded as science because the origins of life cannot be observed nor can the processes that led to life evolving be observed either. Thus Man-to-
Molecules or Higgs-Boson-Particle-to-Man Evolution (sometimes described as "macro-
evolution") becomes a simple idea or conception. It is not observation-based 'science'. We add here that people are perfectly free to entertain or discuss the idea, and even attract funds to explore it, but to call it fact or science really begs credulity. I just wish the same courtesies were extended to Bible-based Creation-believers like myself. Instead, One is told One cannot expect a tenured position at MoRST because of One's "religious convictions".

38 I think this must have been the same area where Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his team had found meteorites. His expedition was as much scientific as a race to the Pole with Roald Ammundsen. In fact, the weight of these meteors in their lfreight may have been a straw to break their backs in reaching their final hurdle and safety. The rocks were retrieved and went back to London. There is more to this story but I will leave that to The Journal.

39 Or this information may have been in a later discussion with one of his colleagues, Nikos Kokkinos.

40 It may well be that some such locus of movement is actually possible but no one has detected that so far.

41 Peter forgot that every English schoolboy learns, after studying Harold Goodwin's defeat at the Battle of Hastings; and from the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo; never to abandon the high ground and to stick tightly bound at the top rather than chase after a feinting retreat. Dr Colin Renfrew, a doyen of the establishment quickly withdrew his support after the project failed. After Renfrew's bail-out, James and his colleagues (including David Rohl) had to suffer the taunt of being "Velikovskians". A taunt proffered my way at a history seminar at Victoria University (NZ). Peter later warned me to leave the subject alone and not to bother him again.

42 As far as this author is aware. Peter James who read Koestler also met Velikovsky. Mr James may know more about that. To me, it is very curious the two never interacted. I suppose René Odinot who got me to read Sleepwalkers by Koestler may have had that in the back of his mind. But there is a curious entry in Koestler's Sleepwalkers that hints Koestler might have seen a copy and been aware of the front cover on some editions of Ages in Chaos Volume I (Exodus to Akhenaten). As described above, it has a picture of a screwed-up framework of a jungle gym. In discussing the great two-millennium gap of declining knowledge between Aristarchus of Samos (6th Century BC) and Copernicus (15th Century AD), or Hippocrates and Paracelsus or between Archimedes and Galileo (surprise choice there one would have thought), "looking back at the road along which human science travelled [600 BC to 1600 AD]" Koestler continued "one has the image of a destroyed bridge with rafters jutting out from both sides; and in between, nothing". Now, if that is not a picture of the front cover of Ages in Chaos Volume I (in some paperback editions), it must surely be very close to the picture on the front cover of Centuries of Darkness by Peter James et al where one sees the top and bottom edges of a Jig-saw partially complete, set against a black background. Between the upper and lower edges of the Jig-saw there was a big black gap filled with two or three 'middle' pieces floating limbo-like between the two edges. Peter must have read Kostler's description of the bridge and its rafters and probably had seen the image on Velikovsky's book. The design of Peter's Centuries reflects Koestler's description more closely than Velikovsky's design. An interesting question - coincidence or design?

43 This was curious. I spent most of my time in the office putting together paragraphs under various subject headings stipulated and described by the USDA-FAS Manual. But the introduction of personal computers meant I was writing this all directly onto the computer. The itching problem never went away. When I opened my door with the key, a large spark would jump across the key to the door lock or handle. I would touch my office door with the key before handling the door knob, otherwise I would get an static-electric shock. There were offices above (upstairs), below (in the basement) and beside mine . Was I sitting inside an electro-magnetic minefield? Eventually, this skin condition contributed to my decision to leave because I was a little worried about my health. However, I remembered my arms being covered with itch sores in England at Ripley. Years afterward (1992-2014 and beyond I suppose), the problem on my arms remained so the electro-magnetism in the Embassy's offices would not, therefore, seem to be a factor, unless I am reacting to radio, mobile phone and other electro-magnetic fields in the atmosphere generally, both natural and humanly-
generated.

44 That is "Personal Computer-wise". I make the point that I am not PPPPRSSC (Politically, Psychologically, Psychiatrically, Philosophically, Religiously, Socially or Sexually Correct. Sometimes I add a fifth 'P' for my physiologically impure frame - I look a bit odd! Most people probably have similar feelings about their physiology.

45 I made good friends from the crop of diplomats there when I joined but by 1992 they had all left, as happens in the rotation systems for the diplomatic profession. My new Attaché, John Hopkins, seemed uncomfortable talking to me. I had little in common with the latest crop of diplomats, and Carol Kirwyn was the only other FSN there I got on well with. So the environment and the job had gone 'off the boil' so to speak. But these things happen. No great drama here!

46 "E.B.'s" marriage had been in trouble in South Korea where he first served under Paul Cleveland. The marriage eventually broke up in New Zealand. "E.B.," called me, Annie our secretary and Marcia Calling the USDA Meat Inspector into his office. He cooly announced his marriage was over. He would take extended leave to get a quickie divorce in Reno, USA. This was about May that year (1991?) When he did get back to NZ, after an absence of about 3 months, he was off to the Hawke Bay on several occasions for 'field-trips'. It was about that time Ambassador Cleveland kept pressing me as to who was writing all the office's reports. Anyway, "E.B.," was courting another woman in the Bay. A few weeks after the divorce, he was engaged to this woman who had two boys from her now-broken marriage ("E.B." and his wife had three kids). We all had to go to the wedding in January, some 8 months after the announcement of the divorce. His new wife was pregnant. Paul Cleveland sat next to me at the reception. I suspect he thought I was the only piece of sanity in all this farce. And well he might, because after the birth of the baby that marriage broke up! Everyone in the office knew that but no one told me. A few weeks after this next divorce, Elizabeth Gears Loftus, the Embassy's CLEO (Community Liaison Events Officer) who had an office opposite mine, was shocked from a random comment I made that I was unaware that E.B.'s January marriage was over by March or April of that year - not even a full year after he announced the break-up with the first wife. One would have thought such things were impossible. Why the American Government did not insist "E.B." and his family return to USA when the marriage broke up, I have no idea. Why the Ambassador did not push for some resolution like that is also odd considering he had been with "E.B." when problems arose in Korea. Why was I kept so much in the dark? [I attempt to answer that in The Journal] Anyway, because USDA was a different US Government Department from the Department of State, Ambassador Cleveland had no real say over the matter despite his obvious concern at all this nonsense. "E.B." was a member of some American Masonic group. I saw a photo of him wearing an Egyptian fez-style hat as part of his masonic regalia. All that might explain what really happened behind the scenes. But it left me somewhat emotionally upset on the one hand and by now, on the other hand, acutely aware that the world is spiraling into some sort of end-game the Bible talks about. In any case, it seemed my days at the Embassy would be numbered on any number of scenarios. Why I was there in the first place is an open question. But quite a few interesting answers to that question are revealed in these pages. Hence the rather long digression here.

47 One of them, Ken Smythe, needed somewhere to live but at the time failed to say that was because his wife wanted to split from him because of his behaviour of which he had repented. But I will leave that discussion for The Journal. My records do not enable me to say who the other one was, whether Jonathan Sarfati, Amnon Mandelbaum or someone else. A slight embarrassment there.

48 For example, Netanel and Shlomit were very helpful. He espied that the Hebrew University Bookshop had begun stocking Hebrew-Language editions of Velikovsky's books. Shlomit tried to get my story into the mainstream newspaper she sub-edited but the Editor told her "this is too complex for our readers". Gai Kalmovitzch and his father-in-law tried to arrange for me to meet Velikovsky's daughter who lived in Israel. The Fegins, farmers not students, arranged for me a private tour of Beth She'an hosted by their cousin who was a director of the massive project there. A journalist from Der Spiegel accompanied us. Nir Shomroni, computer geek, was keen to translate whatever book I wrote into Hebrew. Being academics, or at least aspiring to gain a university qualification, they were obviously reluctant to push too hard against The Academy.

49 At Kibbutz Matzuva in the far north near Rosh Ha Nikra and at Kibbutz Ravid further south-east overlooking Lake Tiberias. The latter was a curious place which had seen a succession of failed attempts at establishing a viable community. Matzuva was well established although gradually slipping into bankruptcy because of some unwise investments and internal inefficiencies as many born into the kibbutz for the third or fourth generation looked at the greener grass of an apparently more 'independent' lifestyle outside the kibbutz movement. Later, Kibbutz Matzuva was compensated for some very un-Torah-like lending practices that accelerated it into bankruptcy.

50 I arrived in Israel on Passover 1992. Mr Ariel Mandelbaum met me at the airport and hosted me for three months. Immigration authorities give one a three month visa on arrival. One can get extensions.

51 Moshe told me he was making jokes in Hebrew about me and getting good laughs. He hoped I did not mind. One day, a rival turned up and realised that Moshe was mocking me. Thinking I might be hurt he approached me about joining his dance group. Obviously he was canvassing for members from Moshe's group. I alerted Moshe and that was the last time that chap turned up. Moshe's showmanship unexpectedly paid off.

52 Or, as far as I was concerned, the existence of a chronology problem proven by Velikovsky.

53 Elsewhere I discuss the technical problems in stratigraphy Centuries of Darkness reveals. The authors show that there are many sites around the world which yield quite long (200 to 600 years) discontinuities in archaeological stratum at various stages. That shows itself when plenty of other second- or third-party information indicates that certain towns or villages had viable communities continuously flourishing over centuries but with inexplicably long gaps of apparently no habitation. The reader may not understand the difficult concepts here. Being able to clearly explain this point to lay readers in itself becomes a crucial part of the chronology problem and tends then to bore people and turn them away to some other activity or interest. Even so, the reason the chronology or time gap appears to be there is because the archaeologists are, for the various technical reasons we refer to, applying the wrong dates to the stratigraphic level (stratum) immediately above or below a particular stratum they are studying. The level above or below seems to have a date, based on materials or things found in that level attested by independently dateable objects "known' to have been in existence many centuries before or after rather than just a few years or decades before or after as one would expect. The diligent reader; after ploughing through several chapters in which James et al explain this for many different sites around the wider Middle East and even further afield (England); will probably grasp the point. Hopefully, he or she may even be seized by it The general difficulty in explaining this problem demonstrates how archaeologists get away with what really is a fiction - the modern framework for ancient Egyptian history.

54 I was looking pretty thin at the time and could not stand wearing suits or heavy clothing in the heat. As I looked a bit bedraggled, I suspect he thought I was at death's door. The Diabetes I was later diagnosed with may have kicked in by then; but no one knows. In 1987, I had a thorough medical with Dr Crutchley for the American Embassy. But his survey which uncovered a "propensity for hernias" in my lower abdomen (think about the good doctor's name) either missed the Diabetes or the problem did not exist then. The Israeli Folk Dancing had solved the hernia problem which I had experienced many times over the years since starting to play Squash in circa 1970.

55 I was wandering the streets of Rishon Le Tzion soon after arriving in Israel in 1992. An Israeli befriended me recognising I was a tourist and asked me what I was doing in Israel. He asked if I was married. After telling him I was single and 39, he replied, "Well you have missed the marriage bus". In the churches in New Zealand, people would say that my single status would mean I would have greater scope for doing the Lord's Work. Now that I have a clear mission, those same people are not the least bit interested. A most intriguing aspect of The Journey.

56 Unsurprisingly in view of his situation - refer Footnote 46.

57 The plane landed at Dulles Airport between Washington DC and Baltimore. This was my third visit to Washington. In 1986, on a brief visit to Britain to see Ray Metcalfe, I spent a day at the US Embassy in London with my counterpart there the Foreign Service National who gave me the best part of a day's orientation before I had started my job in Wellington. John Reddington arranged this for me. They must have been keen to have me. I had a few weeks in Washington in 1989 on an orientation tour.

58 Pontoon is just one of many terms like punt, pond, pound, that originate from the ancient Egyptian "Punt" the Egyptians' name for Israel and Phoenicia or Pun-icea. The 't' is simply like an 's' in English and French to denote a plural, in this case meaning 'people'. Punt-Tyre established a colony in Carthage where the markets were called the Byrsa from which we get a range of words such as Bourse (as in stock market-) Purse, Bursar, Bursary (I got a B-
Bursary to attend Otago University) and probably the origin of words like purchase. Rome's three wars to defeat Carthage are known as the Punic Wars. Rome puniched (punished) Carthage.

59 In London, the "Moorgate" was probably where the Moors of Spain and North Africa; where Carthage is (Tunisia-Puntisia) located; docked their ships, hence the term "mooring".

60 One night as Aileen was driving us both home from the folk dancing at the Meyers Hall in the JCC in Wellington, Aileen asked me an interesting question. It was about an Anglican Church woman she knew who had said to her that the best thing New Zealand could do would be to let '100,000' Jews migrate into NZ. "Why would she say that" asked Aileen. I remember answering her along the lines of the injunction in the Abrahamic Covenant that God will bless those that bless the Israelites etc. It was interesting Aileen described this woman as an Anglican. However, the anecdote does illustrate that between Jews and Christians there are many misconceptions among which is the fact that many Jews do not realise that true Christianity is certainly not antisemitic. However, genuine Christians tend to forget that in the past sympathetic Christians have failed to come to the rescue of Jews in their hours of great distress and need. At times Christians have been incapable of helping or at best just fair weather friends. It is just another aspect of the human mal-condition.

61 The costs of ascertaining security-status of prospective employees ("Foreign Service Nationals" as we were described) to work in confidential environments means that re-
recruiting former staff made sense especially if such people had proved to be very reliable. But I don't think I was all that keen to return anyway. The next Ambassador turned out to be a worse rake than my second Attaché. "E.B."; and the reportedly "Methodist Lay Preacher", Clinton-appointed, Ambassador who succeeded Mrs Della Newman; made a mockery of marriage. The latter with his "niece". Soon after the 'Methodist' Ambassador began his Tour of Duty, the 'niece' arrived. The wife departed and the Ambassador married the 'niece'! The behaviour of these two diplomats was an affront to Christian marriage. Worse still, President Clinton would later outdo both "E.B." and his Ambassador in perversion. Probably, it was just as well I departed toward the end of the Reagan-Bush era (George Bush the Elder of course). But that raises the issues re Iraq and WMD which I shall leave for The Journal.

62 Continuing with the baseball analogy I began above.

63 The Internet being what it is these days, one trusts the reader can look that history up for him- or herself.

64 "Irem" is the Egyptologists' reading of references in ancient Egyptian literature to people who caused trouble for Egypt either from the West (Libya and Tunisia) or from the African hinterland. They debate the geographical origin but the false chronology means they fail to link it to Carthage's attempts to take-over Mediterranean Egypt.

65 Few people, even theologians, really understand the nature of the double-edged sword of the Mosaic system. Yes, Israel would receive multiple blessings if she followed the Spirit of the Law. No one in Israel could exactly or perfectly meet all of its requirements (although Jesus, to the extent they applied to Himself, could and did of course). On the other hand, mass abrogation of the Law's provisions would meet with delayed setbacks. In the short-
term, God would be patient regarding misdemeanors which in any case could be forgiven by faithful obedience to the sacrificial provisions. Between 1450 and 30 AD, the world could see Israel either being punished for gross negligence regarding the Law of Moses or being munificently or over-proportionately blessed for obedience (Malachi 3:10b-12). That way, all the nations could objectively see for themselves who is the One True God. The Blessings, in particular, could only have come from the Creator since they often involved wonderful if not miraculous yields from crops because of timely rainfall, absence of pests etc (Malachi 3:11a). Some people in ancient times did positively respond to that Witness. However, despite that Witness (through good or bad), many ancient people still refused to acknowledge the One True God as they do today in spite of the obvious message in the wonders of Outer Space (The Cosmos) or in Inner Space (Atoms), deep inside the biological cell or deep in the ocean depths. Solomon's sailors went with Hiram's to spread the message about what was happening in Israel. The Tyrian-Phoenician network kept East and West, North and South in touch with developments in Israel. With Israel's rejection of Jesus in 30 AD, Jews and Gentiles in the Church of Christ continued broadcasting God's messages, including those concerning Salvation, from the Biblical account. But from 30AD onwards the message of Salvation was broadcast with the additional Good News that the baby that the woman would conceive without a Man's seed (Genesis 3:15) had at long last come. Jesus' Conception had been promised to a daughter or grand-daughter of the Mother of all nations, Eve. He had arrived to dwell with us on Earth, i.e., as Jesus of Nazareth (7 BC to 30 AD). That Good News also included information about the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus and how that finally paid the Atonement Price of Adam's Sin to bring Man back "At One" with God. All that was foreshadowed and prophesied immediately after the Fall in the Garden of Eden. Mary Magdalene the Phoenician-Tyrian (=Migdol) probably took the Good News to Britain - a former colony of Tyre in the pre-Roman era.

66 As time goes on we can refine our knowledge here. It is likely that her architects were already constructing the Deir el Bahari temple so her visit to see Solomon probably was partly in order that she could have more effective oversight of her own temple's design. Presumably she was impressed by Solomon's "Oh my Dove, You are in the clefts of the Rock in the Secret Places of the Stairs" because that is how her temple's design later unfolded. Its situation reflects those words as it sits against Deir el Bahari's cleft-filled cliff-face.

67 The Hebrew for these is written elsewhere. This is a paper for general reading.

68 In Hebrew (transliterating) "The Sign" properly is "H'aut". But in Exodus 4:8, 8:23 and 12:13 "The Sign" is "H'at". It would be surprising Velikovsky never saw that. Or, we could be misreading "Hatshepsut" for "Hautshepsut". From memory, Velikovsky never considered that option either.

69 "United States Department of Agriculture". It administered the Food Security Act. Since "Food Security" applied to World food security as well, as part of the US Government's sense of responsibility to world nutrition, the Department believed it necessary from about 1986 to employ in New Zealand a local economic expert full-time as it did in many other countries.

70 This is the term I use for people who cannot get jobs because they are locked out of the workforce for misdemeanors, which is often reasonable anyway, or because they are not P(and PPPRSS)C which is unreasonable. I refer to those not "Politically, Psychologically, Psychiatrically, Philosophically, Religiously, Socially nor Sexually Correct. On the last of that list I refer to those who still hold-out or stick their neck out for Biblical principles re Sexual practice.

71 A woman, which would probably be bad news for me assuming they already had a handle on me as per the PPPPRSSC issues in the note above.

72 Anyway, why could I not be seen as an academic returning from sabbatical? I had a degree in Economics. Remember, the diplomat at the US Embassy advised me there should be little problem with me explaining such a gap. It would be good for long-term employment health to do such things. But in this case, the short explanation on my CV had a rather unintended, though incisively revealing, consequence.

73 If one must nowadays present a CV why should one not be entitled to a sabbatical?

74 There was no discernible stress in his voice. The stress here using capitals is mine.

75 This is all tied up with early 20th Century British and American intervention in the Middle East. It raises issues about the book IBM and the Holocaust, WMD in Iraq and other things I will narrate in The Journal to the extent that I got involved in these issues or how they affected me.

76 The female Agricultural Attaché at the British High Commission; the woman I would be working for at MoRST and this NZMIA occasion are three examples where I was probably battling from the disadvantage of being a Christian male (and white and British!)

77 We recognise this at the intellectual, conscious and subconscious levels. But for the unbeliever or sceptic it is almost always purely sub-conscious. In many ways, therefore, such persecution cannot be said to be deliberate therefore neither criminally nor civilly challenged in Court. We have to put up with it!

78 So there were good positions available for me in early 1993. At least one (British High Commission) I was uniquely qualified for and the other two (NZMIA and now MoRST) I was very well qualified for and certainly in the running. As it turned out, I did succeed in a fashion at MoRST but the remuneration was poor since I was often without tasks or hanging around with significant down-time or effectively un-chargeable hours. I attended many meetings at MoRST to retain some sort of brief on projects I might be involved in but others on the full-time staff were doing that too. But they were getting $30-50 per hour salary. I got work at MoRST but at very low pay rates which barely enabled me to pay basic bills which no longer included automobile expenses. I had ceased driving now (effectively since March 1992). My cars died. I could not afford to drive. I hated filling the pockets of Muslims who used the money to wage war on the Jews. So I was happy being car-less. No more of my money going into taxation; freedom from regulators and warrants of fitness; are the joys of being car-less.

79 And Mr Frank Edwards a Canadian who (he later told me) was a former Rosicrucian. Mr Eugene Thomas who about that time had been murdered in the Invincible Building just up the road was reputed to have been the founder of the Rosicrucian Movement in Wellington.

80 "Foresight" became a fashionable term at MoRST for a brief season in connection with a philosophy that said "we know what we can do in science and technology, in fact whatever we desire to do; the real issue is which course(s) do we follow first given scarce resources prohibit us following every path we would like to at any time". Thus "Foresight" became something of a scheduling technique.

81 Later, the "Ministry", always "just a Cabinet Minute anyway" was incorporated into other Government Agencies.

82 Or the Crown Company Monitoring and Advisory Unit (CCMAU). One of its chief executives, an English character Dr Andrew West, was in a lift with me one day so I tried a joke on him about the Mau Mau of Kenya. They were often on the news in England when I was a boy. Andrew was probably a couple of years older than me and he said the same thought had occurred to him but he didn't think anyone in New Zealand would understand the play on the tribe's name and the unit's acronym. So we had a good laugh about that.

83 Though my US Embassy diplomat friends who often owned houses inside the 'DC Beltway' fared quite well on the whole in New Zealand. Although it did help that they got out into the more pro-American rural regions, away from the anti-US and anti-nuclear cities (Wellington especially) and out amongst the farming fraternity whom I knew well of course. Poor old Tom was a townie at heart but dwelling here in an anti-American town.

84 Many I attended, or dropped into, were mundane. In a rather intriguing meeting there was a brief discussion about using the Tax Act to divert money away from wealthy individuals' estates (personal fortunes at death). Specifically, the intent was to divert wealth away from implicitly undeserving "siblings, relatives or friends" and towards the funding of science. The justification was in the name of 'altruistic science' for everyone's benefit. The ramifications of that will be narrated in another circumstance affecting me in The Journal.

85 I have already narrated the episode where Gary Hawke banned discussion at an East-West Center Forum on the dichotomy between free markets and oligopoly markets in order to fund science and technology. We will learn from these episodes why there must be suppression of any seriously critical analysis and review of Egyptology and Evolution.

86 Perhaps we are now able to talk about career in these two ways: alternative career-wise and conventional-career-wise . The 'alternative' being that which involves me prosecuting this problem of historical reconstruction, developing the 3-D Aleph-Tav Bible Study Course and my programme to "Harmonise Archaeology, History and Science with the Bible". Note we are definitely not harmonising the Bible with modern-day A, H and S as the seminaries and Bible Colleges do. In the Bible Study, or Course, we do not instruct people in how to make the Bible "relevant" to their situation. It should be obvious that we are all just as devious as, in some cases, even the worst characters mentioned therein. Instead, we demonstrate how the Bible declares God's Glory especially in this Smart-Alec Age (possibly of iron mixed with miry clay and the seed of men intermingled therein, the latter symbolizing the mass migration and travel of this plastic age). This 'Smart-Alec Age' is also one where nearly everyone believes the Bible "cannot be taken seriously" (ibid the Dixon Street Subway sandwich-maker, Wellington, August 2014). On Wellington's Radio Live, "Journalist" Mr Shaun Plunkett, on his Talk-back show, says the Bible is "made up". Or, the view is taken by adherents that the Bible means the same thing to all generations leading to an extreme reliance on tradition, allegory, imagery, metaphor, typology etc.

87 Who knows whether there was a subliminal message to the Maori in the colour of the (white)board on which the Chief Executive drew this very simple diagram.

88 One obvious example, to be fair to both sides, is that Maori had named a vast range of animal and plant species and they had gathered a substantial database of plant properties and such-like. All those activities are, of course, based on observation. They are "Science" in most cultures' terms, including those of Western Science.

89 I do not know how long they had been in Gerald's in-tray or in some Ministry of Foreign Affairs in-tray, either in New Zealand or at the UN delegation but such a short period for this process was disgraceful in my opinion. In retrospect, one gets the feeling this was all pre-
arranged.

90 In the English Independent, I had read that the Russians were drilling down to a warm-
water lake at the Vostok Station they operated in Antarctica. Other nations prevailed on the Russians to stop because of the potentially disastrous consequences of this action. In 2007, on a brief visit to New Zealand from England, I attended an IPCC briefing in Wellington. Dr Wratt chaired that. I asked him about that lake under Antarctica. To me or to anyone with common sense it meant that the South Polar ice cap was melting from underneath because of the Earth's own internal heat not because of man-made pollution. He blatantly told me that there were 130 of these lakes. Asked why that was not reported in the IPCC reports, he just shrugged his shoulders. I believe that information is very important in climate change or global warming discussions. In July 2014, I did find out from another NIWA scientist that the effect of the lakes is not expected to be material for another 500-70 years. That is nonsense too. Just more Suppression of data and debate.

91 In The Journal, I have an account about my work for Warren Young going through Harold Lindemann's papers at Nuffield College. Zuckermann succeeded Harold Lindemann as Chief Scientist after WWII.

92 That was the gist of a claim by the Rt Hon. Winston Peters in Parliament in late July 2014. I had seen our boss at Lane Thomson pass on a photocopy we received of a mis-priced invoice (with a decimal point slip) to the Maximum Retail Price Department in Trade and Industry when the Government tried to limit price rises to keep inflation down in the 1970's. There had not been an increase in cost for us on these goods and we got a credit from the supplier (Bush, Boake & Allen Ltd) whose sales' office inadvertently made the mistake on the invoice. No matter, our general manager fired it off with volumes of other material to present evidence of cost increases we had faced. I can imagine modern electricity companies doing the same thing with carbon credits. In November 2014, again in Parliament, members were complaining that suppliers of excess solar energy back to the electricity companies were not getting enough value for their contribution. The Minister argued that it did not make sense to subsidise one form of electricity (solar-based) to compete with another (oil, wind or coal based). That week, one of the electricity companies reduced its price to newcomers supplying it with solar-based surplus or excess electricity from about 25 cents per unit to 7-10 cents depending on the season. The point about this is that oil and coal based electricity, with all the reticulation systems well embedded and paid-off over the last few decades, remains the most cost-efficient source of power. It is a trap the world seems to be enmeshed in and the oil of Babylon lies at the base of this masterful trap. Global warming reduction measures are not going to stop Babylon controlling world finances (refer Zechariah 5:6-11).

93 Probably certain gases being stripped from the atmosphere or some change in the balance of atmospheric gases. However, somewhat more controversially, atomic decay of heavy and unstable metals deep inside the Earth's interior may also be adding to an excessive heat imbalance on the Earth's Inner and Outer Crusts. Or both factors (stripped atmosphere and heavy metal atomic decay) may be at work.

94 More on this matter in The Journal.

95 At the Ariel Ministry camps in 1995 and 1996 a few of us had a mock celebration of the new millennium on the New Year's Eve. The camps were over the Xmas-New Year holidays. When Frank Edwards hosted a quiz at a MoRST Xmas party, we had to answer which year the new millennium started. A few got it wrong with "2000" but the look on Frank's face when I wrote down my answer, because in his game we all handed in our answers, was a lot of fun. No one seemed to notice so the joke went a bit flat. I put him out of his misery because "1996" certainly looked embarrassing at the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology. So I owned-up and explained myself.

96 If Jesus was born in 6 BC, 1995 plus 6 equals 2001 of course. If Jesus was born in September, also likely, then a calendar year needs to be between September and August not January to December. Also, there is officially no year zero. It gets quite confusing with all this but at those two camps we had the mock celebration for a bit of fun. Since circa 2009, it has slowly dawned on me that one might have been mocking Satan too because he planned to sire his antichrist child on the New Year's Eve of 2000 so that his son would be born in September 2001. And that reveals the real strategy behind X-Mass, X-Mass Trees, Santa-
Satan, St Nicholas and the Nicolaitans of the churches in Revelation, etc. The whole Christmas thing of the last century or so with Coca Cola's Santa has been a con-job to embarrass true Christians when it is officially revealed Jesus was born at Tabernacles in Spring (September-October). So much unravels when History is restored and we have His Story instead.

97 For example warning hotels and hostels he would not pick up their clients if they recommended my service. Mr H. even told me he was going to force a walking group, organised by some women, out of business.

98 Dr Myrta Kenny, Karori Medical Centre, Wellington. Dr Kenny was my doctor from 1979 to current (2015).

99 The Hebrew, as we note elsewhere, really reads "And the Queen Sheba(-ing) Ophir" (of the previous verse in the Biblical text) "visited King Solomon". The word 'sheba' needs to be read as the Hebrew verb to sit and administer (and write) decrees. The Hebrew words for these things are sheb and soper. Hence "Hat-shep-sut" or "Hat-sheba-sut" could either mean "The Sign of the Scribe of the South" or "The Sign of the Administrator of the South. Hence I italicise "Queen Sheba".

100 In Exodus 4:8 (twice), 8:23 and 12:13. Also, in Zechariah 12:10 there is an application of this word. The details of these things are explained in the documents in the 3-D Aleph-
Tav Bible Study now uploaded to the Cloud. A detailed analysis is also available on my blog (see details below).

101 There is more on this in Blessing 11M in that section of the 3-D Aleph-Tav Bible Study section on The Cloud.

102 For a lot of people, it then becomes necessary to dogmatically insist "Calvary" and "Mt Moriah" were exactly the same spot. Since Israel was (since 2000 BC), is and will be the Holy Land and Jerusalem the Holy City it seems that to insist the two spots must be identical is pedantic. However, one cannot entirely rule out the possibility the two sites are the same spot. The fact that Sarah appeared to be 127 at death also suggests Isaac and therefore Jesus were 37 at the respective sacrifices.

103 Luke 3:23. In Hebrew, "about thirty" means in the range 25-34.

104 In particular I could see, when I visited, that the Middle East Room had many Jewish donors. The huge map of the Middle East on the walls showed the names of many cities. One was excluded, however - Jerusalem!

105 Around the time I discovered Ages in Chaos I was becoming acutely aware that there were many problems in the way churches were teaching the Bible. Not that I could put my finger on that precisely. New Zealand artist Colin McCann had depicted the problem in a rather novel way in his paintings using words (a 'no-no' for artists one is told) from the Bible. He showed verses in random, chaotic and out-of-context ways just as Velikovsky's publishers had tried to depict the Egyptian chronology on the front cover of the paperback copy I had of his Ages in Chaos. At the Karori Baptist Young Adults Group (circa 1979-86), Trevor Geddes tried to put his finger on the problem. I believe I am well on the way to solving this now in my 3-D Aleph-Tav Bible Study [refer "Components of Systematic Theology (In the 21st Century)].

106 Including, I now believe, some of the artifacts Dr Lockerbie had taught me about when I was in the second form at Macandrew Intermediate School.

107 From this I wrote my first (and perhaps only) book entitled Memphis, Merneptah and Ramesses and the Winged Disk of Judah. The title might be a mouthful so I often refer to it as "Memphis".

108 Petrie and his colleagues had written six volumes in all, although the last two had material concerning excavations at other sites.

109 Petrie's example was without the six sticks emanating from the disk - three above and three below - on the object published in BAR. The six sticks enumerate the number of wings the object had; viz a six-winged angel.

110 As Memphis explains, the most frequent symbol Hezekiah used was a bee [Hebrew devorah = 'wording' or 'making (writing) words (decrees)']. Writing decrees is what kings do, of course! Although the Egyptologists think that particular object was an Egyptian dung beetle - not a bee. In Memphis, I explain why the Egyptologists' explanation is such nonsense especially if one understands a bit of basic Hebrew. But my understanding of Hebrew in turn enabled me to read Petrie's and the Egyptologists' "Behudet" as "B'ehude't" or "The Place of ('B') the people ('t' = plural) of Judah (ehude)". Again, in turn, my Hebrew enabled me to understand that the ancient Egyptian symbol of kingship as represented by a bee and sedge (papyrus) plant was also the usual symbol of royalty, certainly in more ancient Egyptian dynasties, if not in recent ones as well, as Petrie's reports show. But Egyptologists profess to "not know" what that bee-sedge plant symbol meant.

111 I was back in my flat in South Karori Road. The sunlight bathed the place - one of six flats on two levels. At times the rooms got unbearably hot which might have been an irritation for this itching condition.

112 We received this money in uninformative dribs and drabs. I never had the opportunity to appraise or re-appraise my plans with the uncertainty. We were never shown the will which is unusual in NZ law. On the day my uncle's will became public ("Probate"), the University of Otago announced a $1 million endowment from the will of an anonymous Dunedin benefactor. Did Dunedin have two wealthy men's wills become "Probate" on the same day out of 365.25 that year (circa 2003-4)? Perhaps Dunedin is still very, very wealthy. The by-
line here is that one day at MoRST I attended a meeting where they discussed a provision or clause, from memory in an Income Tax Act Bill, to deduct a portion of wealthy estates for scientific and academic research. It was thought that was far more preferable to the hoi polloi wasting it on gambling and frivolous pursuits. If some of that legislation involved my Late Uncle's money, as I am convinced it was, then they successfully made sure I could not use it for my project. A parallel to that was a sum of money left by a friend to a church we attended. My late friend was a keen advocate of Dr Velikovsky's reconstructed history, like me. We would discussed the issue but no one else at the church, apart from one other, was interested. In fact one person there was a vehement critic of the work to reconstruct the history and he would never seriously discuss the matter and only get irritated about it. However, that same person turned out to become the main if not only beneficiary of that estate gift albeit for other legitimate church programmes.

113 About four or five years later (2007-8) the financial system did implode ("GFC") and especially in the finance company sector in New Zealand. The story of how my share of my uncle's 'Will' got caught up in the so-called reform stage of the GFC, not the actual GFC itself, is yet another scandal to narrate for The Journal.

114 Egyptology is a huge subject. Egypt was the United States of the ancient world. Often Egypt fed the world as American (USDA) food aid often does today. So Egyptologists partition the study into more manageable units. The Old, Middle and New Kingdoms are three such divisions. Iron, Early-, Middle- and Late-Bronze Ages are also used. Cutting across these sub-divisions are the "Dynasties" which could last as much as 200 years (e.g., the 18th). Dates rarely get a look-in. Under these designations, there is plenty of scope for obfuscation which I suggest is indeed the primary objective for this segmentation of Egyptology. Alongside the Bible's very tight chronology extending 4600 years from Adam to the close of the Old Testament Canon (circa 400 BC) wherein very precise dates can be almost verbatim supplied, the structure of ancient Egyptian history in the journals of modern academics looks flimsy in comparison.

115 At this point in that paper's delivery, I went all the way back to that half-hour session I had with Dr Lockerbie about the ceramic sequences in the, albeit mainly Greek, pottery items the Otago Museum held in its collection.

116 As noted elsewhere, in 2014 I spoke to the C/E of NASA. He confirmed that NASA's cosmologists are now taking serious steps to investigate Velikovsky's cosmology. For the Egyptologists, Velikovsky remains Anathema.

117 A term I use to denote the Academy's 'History' or the Official Historical Record.

118 Stalin was a Georgian or Gog-ian, not Russian. But he ruled Russia of course.

119 I also returned to New Zealand for two brief visits. In 2006, I returned for my Mother's last days in hospital with a fatal stroke and to attend her funeral.

120 Diagnosed as a result of joining the Bloomsbury Medical Clinic in circa 2006. Initially I disbelieved the analysis. John Frost's wife, Janice, at Brook Street Chapel just looked at me and said, "You haven't got Diabetes Donald". Her word was good enough for me, certainly in 2006. It really did seem ridiculous. She may still be correct. In New Zealand in October 2010, in hospital, they described my condition as an immune-response situation. But what "shock" had caused this to happen remains a mystery. It may be related to the severe itching condition I have. But this is not Diabetes, rather something else which delivers some problems akin to Diabetes. In which case the medication I have been taking since 2010, a bit of insulin in a couple of different forms (pills and injected liquid) has some benefit but the real problem is not being addressed. But who cares at 60?

121 While volunteering for the Royal British Legion, each month of late October and early November, some people there urged me to seek assistance from the taxpayer and from local housing aids (as some of my colleagues at the Legion no doubt were doing). The chief executive of a local MP said if he were in my shoes he would not even attempt to look for work because the obstacles were so immense. He too, urged me to seek taxpayer assistance despite my point about having paid most of my taxes in NZ. His response was "if we cannot look after our own kith and kin ...". I found this sympathy coming my way partly because of all the assistance being given to so many other ethnic and religious sectors. In that sense, though well-meaning, the suggestion had a touch of cynicism about it though the concern was genuine. But I had departed New Zealand to get away from taxpayer support. It would be a defeat to do that in another country even if it is the country of one's birth and early but age-
crucial upbringing and schooling. As it has happened, in New Zealand I have managed to get enough work to pay bills and be a NET taxpayer after subsidised medication via New Zealand's Pharmac System (in UK, a.k.a. as the "National Health").

122 Near Paddington Train Station and near a house that reputedly was once home to Osama Bin Laden. We had to note whether taxis were returning down our street empty of passengers or "Laden". I had a wee joke here when the guilty taxi drivers who were coming our way, "Unladen", asked what we were doing. I would say "Some taxis are Laden, some had been (had b'n) laden (but were now empty) and if we see Osama Bin Laden we ring the police". However, I was working for a Guildford-based company (Modal Data) on that particular job. That was a job I contracted through my Baker Street Brook Street Employment Agency.

123 In Regents Park, Hampstead Heath (huge fun there, what a treat The Heath is) and Kensington Gardens.

124 In this part of town, I discovered the delights of Holland Park (refer The Journal).

125 In 2012, some vulture swept into my office and stole my notebook computer. This 'office' came with my job as custodian of the toilet block at Dixon Street, Wellington. Yet another opportunistic crime in the space of seconds as my back was turned. The fifth occasion I had been robbed.

126 Not as easy or fortuitous as it sounds. Although advertised to be available to all hostellers in fact wireless access was limited, restricted or rationed to about twenty IP addressees. As with any such system, the Internet-er has to get one of the available IP codes from the systems manager. This rationing meant those on the system kept this vital information to themselves. Once I got the tip-off, I approached the chap acting as systems manager. He duly obliged by letting me go on the list. It is hassles like this, and, for an additional example, the aforementioned WordPerfect bug, which pit the independent and poorly financed researcher into an almost-hopelessly futile slog against the mighty facilities and funds of the Academy - and Satan's world in general!. And people wonder why it takes so long to write a book! That comment, and many others like it that seem to frequent my way, represent an often-veiled criticism. Real and practical offers to assist are scarce as Hens' teeth in comparison.

127 In September 2001 as far as I can ascertain. The significance of that is discussed elsewhere but as at November 2014 I am still unable to absolutely confirm this date.

128 No, we are not talking about Sir Paul McCartney and Lady Heather Mills-McCartney.

129 For example in Jeremiah 44:30 ("Hophra") or Isaiah 37:38 ("Esarhaddon"). Elsewhere, I discuss the Hebrew etymology in these names and the play on words regarding Jeremiah's "Pharaoh Hophra King of Egypt".

130 That is to say, we can 'corroborate', or confirm with other external records be they excavated or written, some events and personalities in the Biblical account. But many other events or personalities; such as the identity of all the pharaohs and which dynasty they were members of; remained enigmatic or unexplainable until publication of works by Velikovsky, myself etc.

131 The precise details are no doubt on the Internet somewhere.

132 Which is only partially correct. "Put" is a far larger area than just Libya although the latter term could sometimes refer to much larger tracts of 'Mediterranean' Africa.

133 There were Three Punic Wars in the Third Century BC. In one of them, Hannibal took battalions of elephants across the Mediterranean and across the Alps to attack Northern Italy. "Punic" is a variation of the name Punicia or Phoenicia.

134 Elsewhere, I point out the changing boundaries of "Punt" as they varied from century to century. But the task is not easy because of the imprecise data we have today. When the invasion commences the imprecise will become precise. Nevertheless, the parameters derived through the revised chronology are now reasonably clear; overall.

135 The tendency is to assume the Gog and Magog invasion in Revelation is the same as Ezekiel's. The problem is that in Ezekiel the Messianic temple chapters follow the invasion. In Revelation the temple exists for a 1000 years before the 'Gog-Magog' invasion which occurs at the end of the Millennial Kingdom. To the allegorists and typologists these chronological or sequential aspects do not exist, do not matter or at best are relegated to unimportance. Therefore, others try to place the Ezekiel invasion into the Seven-year Tribulation. But that does not work because it takes seven years just to clean up the rubbish. The solution goes like this: Just as Pithom and Ramesses were considered two cities in two different places in the same era but (in my book) turned out to be two cities on the same site in two different eras 900 years apart; Therefore (or perhaps Ipso Facto), there are two invasions of Israel from the lands and regions of Gog and Magog (The Caucasus Highlands straddling western Asia) in two different eras at least a 1000 years apart, for two different purposes and instigated by two different players. I have found this method of analysis has also solved the enigma of the various Gospel passages concerning Simon the Pharisee, Simon the Leper, Lazarus, the house at Bethany, the two women anointing Jesus' feet and the 'parable' of Lazarus and the Rich Man. For that solution refer Blessing 11Riia.

136 In effect, Ezekiel's prophecy refers to all four quarters or quadrants of the atlas (using the Mercator Projection with Israel as the centre of the locus). The North, East and South quadrants are whence most of the invasion force emerges, some Arabian states, Kurds, Assyrians; and other now minor groups; excepted. As stated, the West, i.e., Tarshish and her young lions (colonies), stands apart in apparent impotence a bit like the 2011-2015-plus stand-off with Syria. We describe NATO and SEATO, where 'T' = Tarshish, as the two ends of the Tarshish Alliance traversing the globe from the Azores to Torres Strait.

137 As depicted in the paintings of Colin McCahon. If one has seen examples of Colin's art wherein he inserts scattered bits of Scripture, one will get the point here.

138 Contrary to what we might expect, a World Government (c.f., Monopoly) must some day give way to a world divided into ten regions (c.f., Oligopoly). Experience from Economics and Organisation Theory teaches us that the norm; where Perfect Competition with many players descends to Oligopoly then Monopoly or even Monopsony); teaches us that government ends up as World Government. So the prophecy is counter-intuitive. Also, there is a debate whether the system since WWII is a world government. Or did the pre-
WWII League of Nations meet the requirement? Or, are we still awaiting a true world government to take charge? This author tends to the view that World Government has in fact been in operation since the end of WW II.

139 I will leave my paper on the Aleph-Tav History-Prophecy Model to explain that in more detail. But when one considers all prophecies apart from those specifically concerning the Millennial Kingdom, could have been fulfilled at Jesus' First Coming, but for Israel's rejection of Messiah, it now happens that the fulfillment of some prophecies got separated or perhaps 'cut-off ' for fulfillment at a later time. It seems obvious from our perspective since 1948, such prophecies were thus kept back, or 'on hold', for the days following Israel's return to the Land. That 'Return' can be seen as a process that began in earnest with settlements such as the Rothschild enterprise at Rishon Le Zion in the late 19th Century through to the United Nations sponsored Independence in 1948. But two critical events in the prophetic calendar aside from the Ezekiel 38 Invasion and rise of Antichrist being discussed here, now lie before the Second Coming. One is The Rapture, excepting the unlikely event that it has already happened, wherein Church Saints are taken out of this world's affairs for the marriage of the Lamb in Heaven. The Rapture is an Exodus of Living Saints at a particular time with Jesus merely 'coming close', as it were, to execute this 'Exodus'. The 'Second Coming' is a physical return of the 'resurrected' Jesus to Earth - TO STAY and TO RULE! The other event is the Seven-year Tribulation, initiated by Antichrist's Treaty or Covenant with modern Israel, which occurs here on Earth while the Marriage of the Lamb concurrently takes place in Heaven. These 'wonder'-dramas, a 'wonder' in Heaven and the other, a drama on Earth, conclude with the Second Coming. Resurrected Saints since Adam come with Jesus and join those on Tribulation-plagued Earth who become saints, or repent and convert to become saints, during The Tribulation. Thus, all saints up to the start of the Millennial Kingdom enter the Messianic or Millennial Kingdom which sees peace and good government continue until Satan's last End-Millennium revolt launched from the Gogasus (Caucasus) region as mentioned. During the Millennium, some Gentiles born with the sinful nature will continue to reject God's offer of Salvation in this near-perfect era. It is only at the end of the Millennium that the totality of saints for Eternity will be finally identified to all of us, or determined, although God in His Omniscience now knows who they will be (or are).

140 Elements of the seven-year final clean-up and aftermath of Ezekiel 38 may trickle into the early days of the Seven Year Tribulation. But the processes of Zechariah 5:6-11 and devolving the World Government, if it is the already existing IMF, World Bamk, UNO, WHO, WTO etc., into ten regions could well outlast Israel's seven-year clean-up from Ezekiel 38. On the other hand, the putative Antichrist currently being 13 years old (as at September 2014), assuming he starts a meteoric career from about Age 20, might well mean the clean-up phase of Ezekiel 38 extends for a significant period into The Tribulation. These become matters of timing and speculation, therefore not really our concern. But the points do help clarify the overall scheme of things and in that sense the timing, sequence and chronology.
