  Part Two (ii): A reader’s “different” version     by   Damien F.

 by Damien F. Mackey   “Joash, Amaziah, and Uzziah’s reigns are all similar”. biblegateway   Thus we read at biblegateway: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Chronicles+27&version=VOICE;MSG&interface=amp Joash, Amaziah, and Uzziah’s reigns are all similar. Each begins by following God and being rewarded with a powerful reign. Then each sins and is punished with national struggles and an unusual death. None are [sic] honored with burials among the former kings. These three men exemplify a common theme in Chronicles: you reap what you sow. When they are faithful to God, He is faithful to them. When they abandon God, He destroys them.

  by Damien F. Mackey         Nabonidus is an Assyrian king. He adopts Assyrian titulature and boasts of having the Assyrian kings as his "royal ancestors".      This is what I wrote some years ago now to Johnny Zwick, sysop of the California Institute for Ancient Studies (then www.specialtyinterests.net/ ), regarding my projected realignment of late Judah with neo Assyro-Babylonia:   My connecting of Hezekiah of Judah with Josiah went down like a lead balloon amongst the few to whom I sent it. (See Pope’s valuable effort at: http://www.domainofman.com/book/chart-37.html )   [ Comment : I have since re-done this properly in my article:   'Taking aim on' king Amon - such a wicked king of Judah   https://www.academia.edu/37575781/Taking_aim_on_king_Amon_-_such_a_wicked_king_of_Judah   So here is the next phase. I would not actually call it a bombshel...

Lost Culture of the Chaldeans   Part One (ii): Sumerians merge into Chaldeans     by   Damien F. Mackey   “Why Berossos [Berossus] would draw on sources of the “Sumerians” to tell Chaldean history remains as mysterious as the bewilderingly wanting scholarly and astronomical/astrological texts of the Chaldaeans whose erudition is famous all over Antiquity and “from whom the Greek mathematicians copy” (Flavius Josephus)”.   Gunnar Heinsohn       In this series, I am following Dr. John Osgood’s most helpful synchronization of the ‘erudite’ Chaldean people, “famous all over Antiquity”, with the ‘Ubaid culture of archaeology. Dr. Osgood wrote tellingly, in “ A Better Model for the Stone Age Part 2”: https://creation.com/a-better-model-for-the-stone-age-part-2   1.      Arphaxad - Al Ubaid, the Early Chaldees   Josephus 13 identifies the descendants ...
