Leroy Ellenberger: Celestial Hazard vs. Celestial Fantasy', C & C Review XIII (1992), pp. 41-44 and especially his remarks on p. 42: the difficulties attendant on a comet Venus' hypothesis are very considerable! Appendix: Calendars and a 2200 BC Event If a major catastrophe of extra-terrestrial causation had occurred during historical times, one would expect to see evidence of subsequent alterations to the calendar. If the orbit of Earth had been sufficiently perturbed then the solar year' would be affected, and if the orbit of the Moon was disturbed then lunar months might have ...
212. Chapter XXIII: The Egyptian Year and the Nile [Books]
... The Egyptians," says Ranke in the first chapter of his "Universal History," which is devoted to Egypt, "have determined the motion of the sun as seen on earth, and according to this the year was divided, in comparison with Babylon, in a scientific and practically useful way, so that Julius Caessar adopted the calendar from the Egyptians and introduced it into the Roman Empire. The other nations followed suit, and since then it has been in general use for seventeen centuries. The calendar may be considered as the noblest relic of the most ancient times which has influenced the world." The Annual Rise and Fall of the Nile (From Horner) ...
213. An Integrated Model for an Earthwide Event at 2300 BC. Part II: The Geological Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 50,000 years old is radiocarbon dating. Radiocarbon measurements are performed on marine organisms along boundaries of oceans, lakes and rivers, on organic material adjacent to volcanic tephra (dust) or lava, and on organic material associated with objects undergoing thermoremanent magnetism measurements. As in the earlier articles, all of my radiocarbon data is expressed in calendar year dates, either obtained directly from my sources or derived from radiocarbon dates using dendrochronologic conversion tables based on the accepted conventions of a 5568 year carbon-14 isotope half-life, and AD 1950 as the zero time reference [1 ]. Chronological data is presented in figures designated in either radiocarbon or calendar years, just as in the climatology article ...
214. Spectres [Books] [de Grazia books]
... there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate day from night; let them serve as signs and for the fixing of seasons, days and years." Whereupon the Sun and Moon were placed in the sky. I would suppose that the Moon, after terrorizing humanity by its assemblage and irregularity, promptly became the basis for calendars everywhere, once it began to obey the laws of Kronos (Chronos or Time). Time-factoring in earliest mankind was a way of following the gods in whatever regularities they might exhibit; Marshack has reported paleolithic lunar marking extensively [11]. Possibly because the Sun never destroyed the world, it would therefore be considered unsuitable for a ...
215. Cuneiform Astronomical Records and Celestial Instability [Books] [de Grazia books]
... calculated the years by the era of Nabonassar, it continued to be used by astronomers until the Julian era was adopted as the scientific era during the Renaissance. The common explanation for the adoption of the era of Nabonassar, which is still repeated today in standard textbooks, is that at that time in Mesopotamia there was introduced a new luni-solar calendar, which gradually was adopted in the neighbouring countries, including Greece. But Kugler realized that the introduction of this calendar was not the cause, but the result of whatever caused the adoption of the new era. In the very first pages of the introduction to his Sternkunde, Kugler states that only with the beginning of the era of ...
216. The Bible as History? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... on p. 78) a number of chronological notices which are multiples of 5 years, starting in year 5 with Shishak's attack on Jerusalem (Year 5 of Rehoboam). This may indicate that the exilic Priestly chronologist inherited a pre-schematic synchronistic history either from the Schism or from David's accession. Central to Hughes's reconstruction is his detailed work on calendars and dating systems. Since the arguments are complex and he is particularly thorough in his evaluation, no attempt at a summary will be made here. Hughes finds (p . 81ff) no less than three different dating systems in the current texts of Kings, one of which is actually incompatible with Deuteronomistic chronological schematism. ' This is ...
217. Collapsing Tests of Time [Books] [de Grazia books]
... devastate the atmosphere, build sediments and transport life forms quickly. Plant and animal species require time to adapt to environments (life niches), to proliferate and to become extinct. So long as high-energy expressions are absent, it is reasonable to assign long periods to these processes and long life to the species. Originally, evolutionists were composing calendars that were under 100 million years in all. The discovery of natural mutation introduced a dynamic of change, but a successful mutation turned out to be, in theory at least, a most rare event. So more time was needed. Now a billion years or more is allotted for the evolution of species. But quantavolutionary theory permits ...

... | Issue Contents REVIEW Earth In Chaos by Peter M. James (Polar Publishing, PO Box 4220, Stn. C, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2T 5NI, CD$26 50 plus p&p ) Peter James (no relation to the the author of Centuries of Darkness) must have become interested in the temples/calendars of megalithic man when he was studying for his geology degree at Imperial College, London, and has visited many sites in the British Isles and in France. He considers the frenzied construction activity during the thousand years of the second millennium before Christ and seeks the reason for expending such a lot of effort and so much valuable time when ...
