... Venus will, regularly, almost collide with the Earth every 52 to 54 years (depending on other planetary perturbations), repeatedly for centuries, unless or until an extremely close encounter destabilises the resonant, or phase-lock, stability. I find this very intriguing in view of the fact that, as Velikovsky has pointed out, the Maya sacred calendar was 52 years in duration: at the end of every 52 years, approximately, the calendar finished - whereupon the Maya sat around waiting for the world to end [5 ]. (When it didn't, they started up a new 52-year calendar.) Velikovsky has also given references to the Hebrew Bibles where a period of some ...
342. A Lowered Chronology for the Twelfth Dynasty [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... From: The Velikovskian Vol 2 No 4 (1994) Home | Issue Contents A Lowered Chronology for the Twelfth Dynasty Lynn E Rose The purpose of this paper is simply to call the reader's attention to some unexpected, but very important, developments that have come about in connection with my work on the calendars of Hellenistic and Roman Egypt. Any detailed argument will have to be deferred to other occasions. I have found that the El-Lahun papyri contain very strong evidence that the Twelfth Dynasty needs to be lowered by a full Sothic period. Thus, the so-called Middle Kingdom (of which the Twelfth Dynasty is the concluding part) belongs right smack in the middle of the first ...
343. The Hyksos Pyramid Builders [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , the history of the first millennium, which is known solely through the Classical and Hellenistic writers, was dated according to these sources. The history of the second millennium, however, was supplied by cross-referencing with Egyptian hieroglyphic material, and this chronology is based solely on these sources, which are dated according to Borchart's pseudo-astronomical "Sothic" calendar. The final part of the triplication, the ghost kingdoms of the third millennium, were supplied by cross-referencing with Mesopotamian cuneiform documents, and this chronology is based solely on these sources, which are ultimately dated in a fundamentalist way on the basis of the biblical date of Abraham (a native of Ur). Thus, the Imperial ...
344. A New Introduction to Earth in Upheaval [Journals] [SIS Review]
... universe beyond, all changed from serene and placid to embattled and convulsed. The Earth is no abode for peaceful evolution for aeons uncounted, or counted in billions of years, with mountain building all finished by the Tertiary, with no greater event in millions of years than the fall of a large meteorite, with a prescribed orbit, unchanging calendar, unchanging latitudes, sediment accumulating slowly with the precision of an apothecary scale, with a few riddles unsolved but assured of solution in the very same frame of a solar system, with planets on their permanent orbits with satellites moving with a better-than-clock precision, with tides coming in time, and seasons in their order, a perfect stage ...
345. Poles Uprooted, Part 2 Mars Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... centuries? The moon, being smaller than Mars, would have been greatly influenced by Mars if it came close enough to that planet. It could have been drawn nearer to the earth or pulled away to a more remote orbit. It is therefore of interest to investigate whether, in the time shortly after -687, reforms of the lunar calendar were undertaken. Also, the earth could have been "removed from her place," which would have meant a change in the orbital circumference and thus in the length of the year, or in the inclination of the terrestrial axis to the plane of the ecliptic and thus in the seasons, in the position of the poles on ...
346. Venus and Mars [Books] [de Grazia books]
... is portrayed as a ruthless warrior. Hercules seems to be one of his more interesting identities. New militaristic nations, particularly the Romans, the Assyrians, and the ancestral Aztecs, forged empires under his inspiration. The Roman dedication to Mars is well known. He was believed to be father of Romulus, their founder. In the old calendar they named the first month after him. The Romans irreconcilably claimed both Aeneas, Prince of Troy, and Romulus as their founder. Aeneas was, and is, placed in the twelfth or thirteenth century BC with the Trojan Wars, by older scholarship. Recently the Wars have been brought into later times, along with Homer, who ...
347. The Stream Surrounding the Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of at least a thousand years. Although no unanimity of opinion exists, a sizable number of sources place the date for the material in the earliest books to the latter half of the third millennium BC and the Indo-European movement occurring at that time [42]. One potentially important dating technique is based on astronomical observations in that the naksatra calendar is referred to several times in the Rgveda. Parpola brings up the important point that authorities generally agree that, on the basis of the astronomical evidence, the twenty-fourth century BC is the most likely date of compilation of the naksatra calendar [43]. Another astronomical reference is contained in the Satapatha Brahmana, one of the oldest books ...

... mind. About half-way through the evening session, Velikovsky had an opportunity to reply to some of Mulholland's charges, especially the claim that the records do not indicate orbital changes in ancient times. Velikovsky's remarks here are also applicable to Huber, who had likewise denied the ancient records of catastrophes. VELIKOVSKY : Now on this let me say: calendars were changed repeatedly. Professor Mulholland, to whom I did not answer [in the morning] on his paper because it's too much to answer, yet he raised several question[s ], like [the] question [of] whether the clocks could be transferred, Egyptian clocks that were found and do not represent the proper ...

... it at Auriga's chariot, Babylonian narkabtu, the more so, as Marduk, too, used it when tipping over Tiamat. The "Babylonian Genesis" does not tell that Marduk hurled people around, but there is a cuneiform text (VAT 9947) called by Ebeling (Tod und Leben, nf.) "a kind of a calendar of festivals," where it says: "the 17th is called (day) of moving in, when Bel has vanquished his enemies. The 18th is called (day) of lamentation, at which one throws from the roof Kingu and his 40 sons." Kingu had the epithet "Enmesharra," i.e . ...
