152. Letters. C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , however clever, which are attempting chronologically to pin down what is so patently an ancient celestial myth? Jill Abery, Rodmersham, near Sittingbourne, Kent The Year of Confusion I came across a curious fact which I cannot help thinking is significant. Whilst tidying-up notes on Roman chronology I noticed Julius Caesar had to add 90 days to the calendar to bring the year into line with the seasons. This resulted in a 445 day year and became known as The Year of Confusion. The Year of Confusion took place in 45BC and I wondered by how many years the calendar must have drifted to create such a large adjustment. Finding the answer to that is simple. We know ...
153. The Celestial Dynamics of "Worlds in Collision" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... almost collide with Earth every 52 to 54 years (this period varying according to perturbations from the other planets), unless or until an extremely close encounter destabilises the resonant, or phase-lock, stability (Fig. 4). I find this very intriguing in view of the fact that, as Velikovsky has pointed out, the Maya sacred calendar was 52 years in duration: at the end of every 52 years, approximately, the calendar finished - whereupon the Maya sat around waiting for the world to end [20]. (When it didn't, they started up a new 52-year calendar.) Velikovsky has also given references to the Hebrew Bible, where a period of ...
154. Is Is Illig Right, and and AD Chronology Wrong? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... from the east. The Byzantine and Islamic worlds did not, in any sense, experience a dark age' or collapse of civilisation. Therefore there is no reason to suppose that their histories should be in any way uncertain or unclear. Yet Byzantine chronology stands in total agreement with the conventional model, as does Islamic, which dates its calendar from the exile of Mohammed to Medina (the Hijrah or Hegira). Thus, if conventional AD chronology is wrong, we would have to assume a conspiracy involving not only the whole of western Europe, but also the Byzantine and Islamic worlds. Against all of this, there was much that made me begin to have second thoughts ...
155. The Reliability of Biblical Synchronisms in Constructing an Historical Chronology from Rehoboam to Hezekiah [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Seth (Genesis 5:3 ) is calculated 46,026 days from the beginning' (6 days+ 130 years x 354 days) which is 7.1 .131 lunar', 7.2 .127 solar' or 6.1 .127 standard'. Stenring has computed all the biblical data to determine on which calendar the date has been expressed. It can then be recomputed into standard' years which are equivalent to Julian years used by historians and astronomers. Larsson [15] has analysed Stenring's findings. He does not share Thiele's view that biblical synchronisms have survived from contemporary records. He points out that the earliest reference to a standard' calendar ...
156. Radiocarbon Dates and Cultural Change [Journals] [SIS Review]
... archaeological sites at least, to make it clear that there were widespread cultural changes in Europe and the Mediterranean world, and possibly further afield, at at least one point in the third millennium BC. The dates actually cluster around the 20th century bc in radiocarbon years, but should be equivalent to about the 25th or 26th century BC in calendar years if the Suess tree-ring calibration is approximately correct [2 ]. Nevertheless, there are several problems in using C14 dates in this way, and it may be that we shall never be really sure from this evidence alone, whether a set of changes were truly synchronous - in the sense of having occurred within a few weeks or ...
157. Venus And Sirius [Journals] [Kronos]
... the beginning of the new year; the hieratic and hieroglyphic versions, however, assign the same role to Sothis, or Sirius.(1 ) Velikovsky, on the authority of Pliny,(2 ) identifies the star of Isis as the planet Venus(3 ) and explains that both Venus and Sirius had a role in the Egyptian calendar, the real purpose of the Decree being to make the calendar independent of Venus. Egyptologists generally consider both "star of Isis" and "Sothis" to refer to Sirius. Of the arguments put forward by Velikovsky against this interpretation, I consider the strongest to be the fact that a calendar based on a fixed star would not ...
158. The Venus Tablets and Climate [Journals] [SIS Review]
... part of the Babylonian scribes, and have displayed considerable ingenuity in explaining how the mistakes' have arisen. Others took the data at its face value and explained it as evidence for some catastrophic astronomical accident. But the simplest explanation is to assume that they originated during the Kassite period. The Venus sequence beginning -1701 repeats itself on the Julian calendar after -1482, but the relationship between Venus and the Moon is slightly different. Thus, if one transplants a set of setting and rising dates from the later to the earlier solution, even though the length of the invisibility period is the same, the Kassite interval is likely to be displaced in relation to its Old Babylonian equivalent. ...

... and the foundation of the dynasty to 745. The reasons for these dates are nowhere to be located in his book, or anywhere else. Apparently it never obtruded on Professor Wilson's meditation of the black dynasties of Egypt that the Ethiopian triumph over the empire may have been related to the cosmic calamity which induced the creation of the new Oriental calendar based on the "era of Nabonassar," the emperor of Assyria. The era started in -747, and Ptolemy of Alexander considered this year the first precisely dated in the history of antiquity. "It is from that moment that the records of eclipses begin which Ptolemy used."[8 ] The weightily erudite German Hugo Winckler ...

... optical instruments and without accurately built masonry constructions. It is convenient first to concentrate on the problem of tracking the yearly movement of the Sun, because the only way that the exact number of days in the year can be determined is by discovering the actual days of midsummer and midwinter. This knowledge can then be used to construct a precise calendar, the possession of which is surely essential for any more advanced astronomical work. Finding the time of the solstices under these conditions is, as we shall see, an extremely difficult task. Elementary Astronomy At the present time the Earth's axis is tilted 23 27' 8.3 " away from a line perpendicular to the plane of ...
