... GCL in year 37 of Shoshenq V.11 Before delving into the just-cited considerations, it is necessary to deal with a few possible objections to the preceding scheme. For one thing, the year 2 of Shabako Apis burial is currently identified (contra Mariette) with a much better documented burial dated to year 6 of Bocchoris. Since a calendar date associated with the Bocchoris burial is known and does not agree with that associated with the year 11 of Shoshenq V burial12, year 2 of Shabako = year 6 of Bocchoris would seem to contradict year 2 of Shabako = year 11 of Shoshenq V. However, the usual identification, which would require Shabako to have seized Memphis ( ...
312. Cultural Amnesia [Books]
... Psalms. Our whole life is pervaded by influences originating in these and other catastrophic events that took place in earlier ages. The catastrophes survive in the liturgy still used today, only we choose not to examine them as such. Whatever area of life we select to explore we find some vestige of the terrifying events of the past. The calendar is a good example, either the Jewish calendar or the Christian calendar or that of any other creed. Throughout the year the holidays are reflections of catastrophic events. The midwinter holiday celebrated as either Christmas or Hanukkah, the Week of Light, is a renewal of the Roman Saturnalia. If you read about the Roman Saturnalia you recognize ...
313. The Celestial Ship of North Vol. I [Books]
... years before the writing of the New Testament, has its foundation in the lore of the heavens, and in poetical imagery follows the path of the Sun through the different signs of the Zodiac. Many phrases, many headings of the chapters of the New Testament are similar to those in the "Book of the Dead." Egypt originated calendars, the incorporation of stars into groups and constellations and first recorded solar motions. "But the greatest proof that the people of Egypt were the first to give names to the stars, and to arrange them into zones, by the circle of the spheres, is the name by which that country itself has been known. It was ...

... ), and 2) that Venus was observed in the sky earlier than the first near encounter of the protoplanet Venus with the Earth. To the first point it would suffice to cite the opening paragraph of van der Waerden's article of 1951 (Journal of Near Eastern Studies, vol. X, p. 20). In the Assyro-Babylonian calendar of about -700 the vernal equinox was transferred by more than a month. Also the ratio of the day to the night at the summer solstice seems to have changed from 2:1 to 3:2 . Similar changes took place in Egypt at the same time. And of what value are reports of phenomena from Syria or the ...
315. Interviewing Immanuel Velikovsky: An Introduction [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... are divided into compartments, and people only know a very small part of the field in which they are members of the faculty. One may know, in geography, this part of the world and not beyond this part, and in history one would know this century but not the next century, but I saw that some-body studying Mexican calendars comes upon very difficult problems. He would make some general observations if he could also know that the very same problems exist in the Sumerian calendar or in the Babylonian or Egyptian calendars. If you know it, then you are able to reach conclusions that, in separate fields, you are not able to reach. Therefore, later ...
316. Fomenko and English History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from convincing, and there are many other problems with Fomenko and Nosovskij's arguments. For example, they are undoubtedly guilty of circular reasoning over AD dates when they dismiss the authenticity of existing manuscripts of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles on the grounds that these use AD dates from start to finish. It is the overwhelming view of historians that the Church used calendars with AD dates from the middle of the first millennium, albeit with local variations of detail, such as when each new year started. The establishment of this system owed much to the work of Dionysius Exiguus, abbot of a monastery in Rome, who died around 550 AD [3 , 4, 5]. In his 1994 ...

... the point of destruction." [41] By late Zhou times it had become axiomatic that the "mandate of heaven," which was the sovereignty of the emperor, was actually tied up with "five - planet conjunctions." [42] What is more, the Chinese, too, linked this conjunction of planets with the calendar, the beginning of time, and creation. A major tenet of Han astronomy was that the five planets, Sun, and Moon were in conjunction at a time zero before the cycles of Heaven, Earth, and Man were set in motion. [43] According to a text dating from the 1st century BCE, this conjunction ...
... name for Sirius, and that the "great years" begin with the heliacal rising of Sirius on the first morning of the month called Thoth. Heliacal rising designates the rising of a star just prior to sunrise when it is first seen again to the naked eye after its rising has been obscured by the brilliance of sunlight. If a calendar has only 365 days a year instead of 365.25, every four years the calendar is short one day. Therefore, with this calendar, the heliacal rising of a star would occur one day later every four years. Losing one day every four years would make a star rise heliacally on the same day only every 1460 actual ...
320. The Holy Grail: Source of the Ancient Science and Spirituality of the Circling Cosmos by Lee Perry [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 1997:1 (Oct 1997) Home | Issue Contents The Holy Grail: Source of the Ancient Science and Spirituality of the Circling Cosmos by Lee Perry 1993, $12.95 (contact Lee Perry, 3720 Henderson Drive, Cumming, Georgia 30131, USA) This small book is the printed form of a paper presented to the Calendar Conference sponsored by the Traditional Cosmology Society and the Northern Studies Centre at Stromness, Orkney Islands, Scotland in June, 1993. I confess I have never come across a style of writing quite like it and suspect that the average Briton, at least, could find it strangely abstruse in a chatty sort of way. Perhaps it would ...
