... . He claimed that Mewhinney took most of his references out-of-context, especially when referring to Charles' own works, where Mewhinney would often quote an ambiguous statement about the maps in isolation from as many as five supportive statements that accompanied Mewhinney's quotes. Saturday morning, Nancy Owen tried- with some success- to teach us how to read Mayan calendars. She passed out copies of 5 pages from the Dresden Codex. The fifth page was a picture- a dragon across the top, hanging down on the left, breathing fire. The signs for Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter were spread across the top. Beneath the dragon was a Medusa-headed women pouring liquid from an urn ...
172. The Hamon-Gabriel-Mars Connection (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... The Archangels" (see note No. 10), in toto. 27. Idem, "Child of Saturn," Part IV, KRONOS VIII:4 (Summer 1983), p. 8. 28. J. Gribbin, "The Cosmic Serpent - Reviewed" in Ibid., p. 59. GEOMETRY - AND CALENDARS To the Editor of KRONOS: In a letter submitted originally at the beginning of 1982,I pointed out to Lynn E. Rose that however the information is derived, knowing the latitude of only a single point on the Earth's surface (other than one of the poles) is not sufficient to determine the location of the north geographic ...
173. John Bossy, "Giordano Bruno and the Embassy Affair" [Journals] [Aeon]
... anti-Aristotelian activities of Bruno- perhaps revealed by higher criticism- the reverberant echoes of Bruno's trial amended and refined the inquisitorial approach just a few decades later when Galileo confronted the prelates with a similar philosophical problem backed by hard evidence. It was still an enigmatic age of bewilderment and uncertainty. As a first priority, Bossy addresses the problem of calendar reform as it affects the closely-approximate dating of historical events between Catholic and Protestant states. Gregory XIII instituted the Clavius-Lilius reform correcting the Julian calendar, which went into effect in Italy after October 15, 1582, and in France the following December, while other Catholic states initiated the reform in October of 1583. England itself did not acquiesce ...
174. Egyptian Monumental Evidence [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... able to calculate near absolute star dates' for for Sesostris (III) and two 18th Dynasty' kings. However, Censorinus in Die Di Natale' made it quite clear, citing Varro (another respected Roman scholar) as authority, that nothing was known of mankind's history before around 1600 BC. Yet Censorinus described reforms in the Egyptian calendar leading to a 365 day calendar and gave the names of the kings in whose reigns the various reforms were made. Obviously, he was talking about calendar reforms made after 1600 BC, since otherwise his statement about the lack of knowledge of mankind's history before 1600 BC would make no sense. Hence, read in context, Censorinus refutes ...
175. Of Lessons, Legacies, and Litmus Tests: A Velikovsky Potpourri (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... C &C Workshop 1989:1 , pp. 7-11). In another article, "Venus Tablet Anomalies," Weir proposes that the anomalies arise, in part, because the original tablet had become defaced and was "restored" by the Kassites (C &C Workshop 1989:2 , pp. 3-5). Since old-Babylonian calendar practices were different than Kassite practices, if the Venus Tablets contain a mixture of old-Babylonian and Kassite dates, then some of the anomalies are explained. For many years I accepted Rose and Vaughan's approach toward the Tablets beginning with Rose's "Babylonian Observations of Venus" in Pensée III (reprinted in Velikovsky Reconsidered) and their joint article in ...
176. Transcript of the Morning Session of the A.A.A.S. Symposium [Articles]
... And there is a way to check on it. It is mentioned. It appears on that day. It disappears on that day. And in between ar so many days. You have the way to check, because if from fifteen to Sivan to the seventeen of Tammuz, or whatever the dates are, you can calculate by the calendar, but, interestingly, by the calendar of thirty days in a month, and thirty days in the month without intercalary months is the prerequisite to understand what is going on there. Those who try to understand those tablets and to translate them needed to correct the translators and ascribe to scribes great errors. West is changed into east ...
177. Up-date of year counts in the time of the Divided Monarchy (Israel and Judah) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Venus years (of 9.6 months) and the other seasonal years (of 6 months). E' marks the point at which, for some as yet unexplained reason, Israel abandoned seasonal years and reverted to solar year counting; it dates to about 736 BC (= mid-reign of Pekah) and very probably correlates with the calendar reform attributed to Nabonassar of Babylon (747-734 BC). Judah apparently continued counting seasonal years for a further 19 seasonal years (9 .5 solar years), probably reverting to solar years at point F', which is positioned at year 0 of Hezekiah (a case can be made for claiming that it will be nearer to ...

... total mass and more of the angular momentum than does the presents Sun, mainly because it was rotating or, better, undulating around its partner. The remainder of the mass, 4% in Super-Uranus, accounted for most of the orbital movement within the system. The period of the binary was perhaps months long. (The earliest known calendars in Egypt and Meso-America were of 260 days.)[13] Both the Sun and Super-Uranus exhibited rotation around their axis. In the case of the Sun, the rotation was gradually reduced by intense gaseous discharges and matter flowing from the star's equator. On Super-Uranus, the rotation was increased as the electrified particle stream impinged upon its ...
179. Some Notes on Parker's "Sothic Dating" [Journals] [Kronos]
... "Sothic Dating"Shane H. Mage 1. The main problem posed by the Illahun papyrus is its implication of a Middle Kingdom 365-day Civil Year and a lunar cycle with a month exactly equal to its present value. However, in order to establish this equality, Parker had to "correct" one of the dates given ( The Calendars of Ancient Egypt , p. 28 sec. 136 and p. 67 333). Although the proposed emendation is of only one day, nevertheless, the necessity of any emendation at all raises the possibility of error in the dates, and thus at least allows the possibility of a year and month of different than modern durations at ...

... placed on 23rd March 687 B.C . as a landmark in the Chronology of Catastrophes. Has anybody been able to check the reliability of this dating? Dr. Velikovsky appears only to have cited a single reference to it, without very much indication as to its authenticity, and any ancient date expressed solely in terms of our modern calendar needs at least some qualification to make it truly meaningful. MICHAEL READE Reading Dear Sir, In WORKSHOP No. 6, page 9, Nel Kluitman suggests that I have not understood the character of fairytales insofar as in my article on Angels and Catastrophism' in WORKSHOP No. 4, I maintained that a fundamentalist interpretation of the bible ...
