14. Additional Notes on Assyro-Babylonian Chronology [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... convenient way of expressing Assyrian or Babylonian regnal years, and there are certainly no scholars who apply this usage for any other purpose.

Shanash-shum-ukin's lst year in Babylon was separated from the 12th year of Esarhaddon by one year. How did the scribes account for this "extra year"?

Sometimes such years were simply ...

16. The origin of the sacred 260 day calendar of the early Mesoamerican civilisations: a hypothesis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2001:1 (Apr 2001) Home | Issue Contents The origin of the sacred 260 day calendar of the early Mesoamerican civilisations: a hypothesis by Bob Johnson Summary The Maya were obsessed with cycles of time, but the sacred cycle' of 260 days has no known relationship to naturally occurring cycles of our era. By combining the welldocumented old year of 360 days and a hypothetical period of orbital revolution for Venus of 260 days into a new calendar round, a simple means of predicting the appearances of the planet is generated. Evidence for the assumption of a 360 day year and changes in the period of Venus are presented in support ...

19. Lifting 'Bickerman's veil' [Journals] [SIS Review]
... It also attempts to answer the questions Just how long a period does "Bickerman's veil" cover? ' and Where does the period covered by the "veil" lie? ' Lifting the first veil'The paradox revealed Bickerman starts on page 10 by introducing us to the paradox behind the veil' with the following description of the Julian calendar reform. For practical reasons, a calendar year must be made up of integral days. In reforming the Roman calendar, C.

20. The Mosaic Calendar and the Sabbath [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:3 (Dec 1998) Home | Issue Contents The Mosaic Calendar and the Sabbath by Eric Aitchison If Immanuel Velikovsky was obsessed with proving Biblical accuracy, as many of his detractors assert, and should such have been his intention, there is ample evidence for a changed year length within the Old Testament.
