... . A small ceremonial structure stood at the northern edge of the upper level, reached by ascending the wide stairway that began at the southern end of the mound. To the West, a woodhenge from which an observer atop a raised pedestal in the center of the ring of tall poles could observe the sunrise on significant days in the ceremonial calendar. The second greatest, attributed to an ancient people called the Adena is the Grave Creek Mound located in Moundsville, West Virginia. Relatively well preserved, and with a protecting museum next to it, this earthwork is 70-feet high and 333-feet wide. It required over two million basketloads of dirt to construct by a people who have left ...
132. Letter to the Editor from Christoph Marx [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... which is proved by the lunar eclipses mentioned in the Almagest,"2 and through the Babylonian king list A with three rulers being kings of Babylonia and Assyria at the same time. Three lunar eclipses are given for the years 721 and 720. The Ptolemaic Canon, which links our own to ancient chronology, is built upon the Egyptian calendar with years of 365 days only. In effect, however, the year 763 B.C . fixes the chronologies of all nations of the Ancient East for many centuries. This date having been derived from actualistic calculations, it cannot be accepted within the frame of Reconstructed History: at least for the present it is completely impossible to ...
133. The Year -747, Part 2 Mars Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... " © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents The Year -747 If the commotion of the days of Uzziah was of global character and was brought about by an extraterrestrial agent, it must have caused some disturbance in the motion of the earth on its axis and along its orbit. Such a disturbance would have made the old calendar obsolete and would have required the introduction of a new calendar. In -747 a new calendar was introduced in the Middle East, and that year is known as "the beginning of the era of Nabonassar." It is asserted that some astronomical event gave birth to this new calendar, but the nature of the event is not known ...
134. On the Length of Reigns of the Sumerian Kings [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the astronomical' year part of the King List, the sign for king is expressed by umun << . This is no accident. The two signs are not intended to have synonymous meanings. The first sign stood for king, and the second for on-high = umun = perfect value = 60 = umun. The Sumerians did not record calendar years, or any specific features of the solar year. On the other hand, all the phases of the moon, including the numbers of days of the moon, are delineated or specified in a multitude of documents [13]. The word mu is used plainly enough to indicate a repetitious cycle'. A lunar period is ...
135. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , refers to the date in any year when the sun rises sufficiently late (i .e . is sufficiently distant from the star) for it to be seen very briefly above the horizon before the following light of the sun blots it out. This event occurs once per seasonal year of 365.2422 days. The Egyptians used a calendar year of 360 + 5 days, and are supposed to have been particularly interested in the heliacal rising of the "Dog Star" Sirius (Sothis, or Sepdet), identified with Isis, the goddess of agriculture and fertility. As the difference between the two years is approx. ¼ day, the heliacal rising of Sirius will ...
136. Chapter XXIV: the Years of 360 and 365 Days [Books]
... which were divided into twelve months of thirty days each." Krall also argues that the expressions great and little year and their hieroglyphics referred to the years of 365 and 360 days respectively, and adds: - - "If we inquire into the time at which the epagomenes were introduced, we can only fix approximate dates. If the calendars of the Mastabas, complete as they are, do not mention the epagomenes, whereas inscriptions of the period of the Amenamhats refer to them, this can only be due to the circumstance that the epagomenes were only introduced in the meantime, but probably nearer the upper than the lower limit. . . . For the sake of completeness ...
137. A Review of Wells's Review of Sun, Moon, And Sothis [Journals] [Aeon]
... Contents A Review of Wells's Review of Sun, Moon, And Sothis Lynn E. Rose From Solana Beach, California, writes: In the Journal of Near Eastern Studies, Volume 61, Number 4 (October 2002), pages 311-315, Ronald A. Wells reviewed my book, Sun, Moon, and Sothis: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt (Deerfield Beach Florida, 1999). Wells lists the book as "vol. 11" of the Osiris Series; it is in fact Volume II of that series. This is but the first of many errors in the review. I shall discuss them more or less in the order of their ...
138. Ancient History Study Group, September 1993 [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... unobtainable in Britain. A few pages of Stenring's numbers and diagrams published in 1952 are available in the British Library. David Roth introduced Gerhard Larsson's The Secret System, 1973 (also in the BL), which follows Stenring's ideas closely. Larsson posits that dates recorded in the Bible were devised in c230BC, using a system of three different calendars: one of 354 days, one of 365 (solar) and one of 365 ¼ days (standard). He proposes not that these individual calendars had been used historically but that the author(s ) of the system manipulated historical datings in such a way that each date would fit one or more calendars - to the day ...
139. Megalithic Circles and Star Charts [Journals] [SIS Review]
... throughout the year at 2300 BC that are no longer seen today from that latitude. Conversely, some stars observed today at that latitude were not seen at 2300 BC. A star chart therefore is a unique presentation of stars at a specific time. There appears to be general agreement that the most likely compilation date for the naksatra constellation' calendar of India occurred in the twenty-fourth to twenty-third century BC [40]. This was the first generated star chart for that cultural region. The naksatra calendar is mentioned in the Rigveda, dated by a number of scholars to that time. In Mesopotamia, there are no significant astronomical or astrological texts dating from the Sumerian period before 2300 ...

... the same as the year number. "Invisibilities" include both the day of disappearance and the day of re-appearance but "duration" omits one of these days. IVhen the month is marked with an asterisk, the year is one of 13 months (VIII* = "Second Ulul"). If everything had been normal and the calendar perfectly adjusted, every fifth conjunction would have occurred on (almost) the same calendar date; note, for instance, that the conjunctions marked "A " always occur in Month XI. Note also that events 6 & 14 occur earlier than computed whilst event 8a, 13a and 17 occur later than computed, suggesting orbital irregularities which ...
