... horoscope of a very exalted personage. This theory had to be abandoned, since, under the present cosmic system, Mercury can never appear to be more than 28 east or west of the sun as seen from the earth. Fagan starts the exposition of his theory by stating that to peoples of antiquity the two most important dates in the calendar were the new moon of spring and the new moon of autumn, that is the new moon closest to the equinoxes. The former marked the opening of the religious year and the latter the beginning of the civil year (vide the feasts in the Hebrew calendar of 1st Nisan and 1st Tishri). The ancient Semitic calendars of Babylon ...

... J. F. Clarke, Paris, France Evidence Against Clapham Dear Sir, Clapham's solution to the chronology of the 3rd Intermediate Period pictures Osorkon II ruling at about the same time as Shebitku in the late 7th century BC. It is interesting to note that from each of these reigns there are records of Nile floods dated in the civil calendar, and these are therefore potentially transmutable into Gregorian dates. The great inundation during Osorkon's reign is dated Tybi 12, whereas a lesser flood peak in Shebitku's reign is dated Pachons 5. Now the flood peak level is a variable event, but this nearly four month difference is quite unparalleled. I am not sure that Clapham would allow ...

... SIS Workshop Vol 6 No 1 (May 1985) Home | Issue Contents Society News 1984 Spring Meeting A highly successful general meeting was held on the 24th March 1984 at the Library Association. The speakers were M Rene Gallant, author of BOMBARDED EARTH, who gave an erudite, entertaining and stimulating talk entitled Early Historic Man - Catastrophism & Calendars' and Prof Chandra Wickramasinghe who introduced the audience to the topic of Evolution from Space - Interdisciplinary Evidence', a recent theory developed by the speaker with co-author Sir Fred Hoyle. After the two talks David Rohl and Peter James gave a short slide show covering many of the sites to be visited during the forthcoming tour of Egypt as ...

... is something else entirely to reenter the body of evidence as if it had never existed. But regardless of the personal reasons by which he was so drawn to act, the imagined wisdom of this rejection comes under real pressure with Eric Aitchison's recent Oxford Conference paper [18] declaring astounding mathema-tical correlations between Mayan, Mesopotamian, Hebrew and Egyptian calendars, at once under-scoring ancient concepts of World Ages during which the Earth's relationship to the Sun changed from that of its precursor, forcing at once unilateral world-wide calendar revisions. And as if to provide the perfect squelch to the New Chronology, most recent changes seem to be associated with the Era of Nabonassar, commencing c.747 BC ...

327. Egyptian Language Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ? I suggest that the Shabaka Stone's inscription contains an Egyptian dialect of 710 BC and not of 2200 BC or earlier. By the same token, the Pyramid texts, since their language is similar to the Shabaka stone inscription, are probably just as late. This should not be surprising since the Pyramid texts evidence use of a 365 day calendar. Based on Censorinus, it is unlikely that the Egyptian calendar became a 365 day calendar before 1600 BC and probably not until after 776 BC [14]. The Ptolemaic Era The situation in the Ptolemaic era seems even more absurd. Hieroglyphic script changed little over the centuries, although, of course, demotic and hieratic scripts were ...
... the 480-years of I Kings 6:1 as true elapsed time, the date for the Exodus may be calculated by moving backward in time 480 years from the date for the fourth year of Solomon. The most recent refinement of this date places the fourth year of Solomon in the year 967-966 B.C . leading us by the Jewish calendar to the year 1445 B.C . for the Exodus date. [Footnote: T-MNHK.] For reasons that will become apparent as we proceed, the short chronology is here accepted as the more defensible interpretation of Bible chronology. In order to avoid all problems that might rise from the acceptance of this date as absolute we shall ...
329. Ancient Astronomical Values Revealed in The Book of the Secrets of Enoch [Journals] [Horus]
... the Christian era. Its final editor was a Greek and the place of its composition, Egypt." An introduction at the head of Chapter I supplies a brief description of some of the book's contents: "An account of the mechanism of the world showing the machinery of the Sun and Moon in operation. Astronomy and an interesting ancient calendar." A thoughtful perusal of the entire book leads one to the inescapable conclusion that the author of "Secrets" was not himself an astronomer but merely a religious writer, and that, therefore, the astronomical data presented by him was drawn second-hand from reference sources available in that era. This fact will prove useful in helping to ...
