... was no dyke of the people to withstand its fury. All the people were like birds upon it . . . the tempest . . . suspended . . . like the heavens. All the temples of Thebes were like marshes."5 That it was not a seasonal inundation of the Nile is clear from the date. "This calendar date for the high level of inundation does not at all correspond to the place of the calendar in the seasons."6 On the day of the approaching catastrophe, Amos says, there will be no place of escape, not even on Mount Carmel, rich in caves. "Though they climb up to heaven, thence will ...
272. Chapter XXV: the Vague and the Sirian Years [Books]
... have found was that, after an interval of four years, it did not fall on the first day of the month, but on the day following it. The true year and the newly-established year of 365 days, then, behaved to each other as shown in the following diagram, when the solstice, representing the beginning of the calendar year, occurred on the 1st Thoth of the newly-established calendar year. We should have, in the subsequent years, the state of things shown in the diagram. The solstice would year by year occur later in relation to the 1st of Thoth. The 1st of Thoth would occur earlier, in relation to the solstice; so that ...

274. Capture Flood Myths (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... , are also depicted as Feathered Serpents. In this picture we can recognize the tailed aspect of the newly captured Moon. All these gods, moreover, are avowedly of different race from the nations that worshipped them, and all of them are culture bringers, coming from the east. That some are regarded as the inventors or introducers of calendar systems need not surprise us. The appearance of the Moon must have really forced a convenient calendar system upon everybody who could reckon. ...
275. An Appendix to My Articles on Hatshepsut and Thutmose III [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the dates!) Blair's paper is rather unhappily titled: "New Questions on Old Subjects - Velikovsky's and Erich von Däniken's questions: a plea for archaeological rethinking". von Däniken's involvement in the paper is mercifully restricted to one restatement of a question posed by that writer in Chariots of the Gods?: "Why was there a Sirius calendar in Egypt distinct from the official calendar?" The question has, of course, been raised in better ways by dozens of writers apart from the wayward "ancient astronaut" theorist. Blair himself rephrases the question more appropriately, and it is to be regretted that von Däniken was rather unnecessarily introduced into what is otherwise a succinct restatement ...
276. The Planetary Order Revealed in The Book of the Secrets of Enoch [Journals] [Horus]
... setting points of the planets much more easily discernible to anyone making a regular study and observation of them. Horizon reference That ancient astronomers made use of the horizon as a natural and convenient reference scale for measuring and correlating movements of the heavenly bodies is a well-attested fact. In numerous articles in HORUS and KRONOS dealing with Stonehenge as a luni-solar calendar, 1 have amply demonstrated that the horizon-marking method was the principal system used in setting up the sunmoon calendar device that the site represented. By noting the maximum setting (or rising) points of the planets along that scale, and thereby the relative degree to which each, in its separate celestial journey, "wandered away" from ...

278. The Inconstant Heavens [Books] [de Grazia books]
... been concerned for more than a score of years. This book contended that the cataclysm described in the Old Testament as universal Deluge was caused by the impact of a comet at the end of the third millennium B.C ., and that up to the Deluge the solar year had the duration of 360 days only, yet the new calendar of 365 days had to wait to be introduced by Nabonassar (in 747 B.C .) . These contentions were based mainly on historical evidence, whereas astronomical considerations were the main ground for suggesting that comets may become planets: Yet comets by passing through the planetary regions in all planets and directions... seem fit to ...
... of the Carthaginians. Judging from the foregoing, should it not be said that the British god Hermes, an Atlantean deity, was introduced into the land of Egypt? It proposes an entire reversal of Professor Perry's ideas! There is another point in regard to the temple of Ammon also of significance. According to the well-known authority on ancient calendars, the Hon. Emily Plunket, the temple of Ammon is oriented to the first point of Aries, the Ram, the sign which denoted the advent of the Vernal, or Spring, Equinox, immediately after the Flood. "The world was reconstructed," says Miss Plunket, "when the sun was in the first degree ...

... points which are displaced by many degrees. Equally displaced are the positions (stations) of the new moon and the distances our satellite covers from one new moon to another. My explanation of these various systems of celestial motions and positions was in harmony with what is found in the lore of other peoples of antiquity and was reflected in the calendar reforms of the Chinese, Hindus, Persians, Israelites, Egyptians, Mayans, and others- namely, that these systems represent true observations at various epochs, before and after the repeated disturbances of the seventh to eighth century B.C . I consider the parts of Worlds in Collision, pages 120-25,313-59, dealing with the calendar ...
