... it may have been a title borne by several individuals. The Wicked Priest' is also difficult to pin down but may have been Jonathan the Maccabee. J L Tiecher thought that the Teacher of Righteousness' was Jesus, Robert Eisenman thought James the Just and Barbara Thiering thought John the Baptist, with Jesus as the Wicked Priest. The calendar merits further study - the Qumran community evidently had a solar calendar which differed radically from that of the Temple authorities. They changed the days of the week, making day 1 into day 3 or 4. David Roth said he was not aware of any other deviation in the whole of recorded history where a week is used that overlaps ...
262. The Death of Gods in Ancient Egypt [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the story of Osiris by Plutarch, which would be after the time of Hipparchus, which would mean that the information was out there. ' Unfortunately, my reporting of the interest by [other] ancient cultures in certain numbers, as discussed by writers such as Joseph Campbell, and my wondering about an alternative use for the outdated sky calendars buried with Seti I and Ramesses IV seem to have won me a place in the hearts of those whose ideas have no support from me. I have long felt I should defend my book,and to that end I have labored for a year to bring forth a revised and updated version. This version has additional illustrations and supporting ...

... points, north being the " airt " of winter, east of spring, south of summer and west of autumn. But these connexions were not of arbitrary character-the result of the theorising of priestly astronomers, but the direct result of a discovery made by those intelligent thinkers and observers among the early agriculturists who measured the year and introduced the Calendar which is still in use all over the world, We are therefore not dealing with Mr. Andrew Lang's " savages ", but with men quite as intelligent and perhaps much more observant than the great majority of modern men. Some were the Newtons and Darwins of their time. Note: 1 De Groot. The Religious System of ...

... Group), c/o Jari Koponen,Kauppalantie 25 B 17, SF - 00320 Helsinki 32, Finland. The Group's Erikoisnumero: Velikovskin Teoria ja Tiede appeared during the autumn, with articles by Helsinki University specialists covering the fields of celestial mechanics, Sagan's objections and radiocarbon dating, and a paper by Robert L. Merritt on ancient calendars. Disappointingly, Alfa's "impartial and objective study" of the scientific area of Velikovsky's hypotheses, with a wealth of sources cited (including, "for" Velikovsky, Yale Scientific, Pensée and SISR), leads to the conclusion that "Velikovsky has not succeeded in arguing (let alone proving) his astronomical speculations". Perhaps ...

266. Fomenko is right! [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 16th-17th century AD' created the present traditional' chronology of the western world' and they did this from chronological material which covered no more than the previous 500-700 years. Thus, as Fomenko claims, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle could not have been written before the 16th century AD' precisely because it uses the AD' system of the Christian' Calendar which first came into use at that time. This claim is based on the mathematical and statistical analysis done by Fomenko et al described in their book. In effect, then, the Palmers assume that Fomenko's theory must be wrong and set out to show us how wrong it must be with ringing phrases such as the overwhelming view of ...

... it is also possible that the as yet undeciphered cylinders with cuneiform signs discovered in the Kadmeion in Thebes may turn out to be cuneiform alphabetic Greek. Closing Discussion The Conference closed with a general discussion session, of which we again print extracts. The first questioner enquired about the strength of the evidence for the existence of a 365-day Egyptian civil calendar, without leap years, as far back as the time of the Old Kingdom. Jones: I can think of two sources which support the idea of accepting a 360 + 5-day year in Egypt. One is the material from Deir el-Medineh, where there are records of workmen working shifts on the construction of the royal tombs in the ...
270. You too can in the Yucatan [Journals] [Horus]
... for Venus worship, its western orientation confines the relation to some aspect of Venus as Evening Star. Chichen Itza - The Temple of Kukulcan (called the Castle by the Spanish) is a famous symbol of the ancient Yucatan and the passion of its people far astronomical calendrics. Its design and decoration seem to incorporate the elements of the civil calendar yew. There are 91 steps in each of the four stairways plus the temple platform which totals 365 to represent the days in the yew. There we nine levels in two halves which make 18, the number of 20-day months (plus a special 5-day "month') in the Mayan yew. The decorative pawls on each face ...
