41. Sothic Dating Redux (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... is Egyptian 3m, a term used as early as the Old Kingdom. It is translated in the Wörterbuch and by other editors of Ebers as "Asiatic". A Jew may be an Asiatic but not all Asiatics are Jews. Rather than continue in this point by point fashion I propose to set forth a few observations on the Egyptian calendar system which if coupled with a thorough reading of my Calendars and my article "Sothic Dates and Calendar Adjustment'" (Revue d'Egyptologie 9, pp. 101-08) will clear up, I feel sure, many problems for the uninitiated. A. The only Egyptian calendar governed by the heliacal rising of Sirius, prt Spdt, was ...

... ... In geology, some but by no means all criticisms of the radiocarbon dates are based upon inferences concerning the behaviour of the presently nonexistent ice sheet. There is no way of proving or disproving assumptions concerning the speed of advance or retreat of the ice, the degree of precision of a varve record and its correlation with the calendar, or the significance of the modification in the vegetation. ' Has any one who holds to the view that such long periods were required for minor degrees of cultural progress ever tried to make an arrowhead out of flint, even given all the advantage of modern hand tools? It is absurd to presume that, once the art of ...

... of Venus and eight years of 365 days was, according to Knapp, disregarded by the Egyptians for simplification. In Isagoge of Geminus it is said expressly that the festival of Isis goes around the seasons in 1,460 years.[5 ] We can elaborate this thesis further and prove that Venus played the decisive role in the Egyptian calendar in the period following the seventh century. Geminus' source was Eratosthenes, who lived in the third century before the present era and was employed by King Ptolemy III Euergetes in his library in Alexandria. In the Canopus Decree, edited under the same king, it is said that the feast of the star of Isis and other feasts ...

A. Parker's widely accepted thesis that the Egyptians used a 365 day calendar throughout most of their history. They note that there is little positive evidence in favour of Parker's contention: for the Old Kingdom we have only two inscriptions mentioning the five days upon the year'. This they argue does not necessarily mean five epagomenal days: an alternative explanation could be found within a ...

... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2001:1 (Apr 2001) Home | Issue Contents The Dark Ages hiatus: a response to Clark Whelton by Steve Mitchell Summary The theory proposed by Illig and others that centuries are missing from the middle of the first millennium AD is due to their misunderstanding of the Gregorian calendar reform and not some astronomical miscalculation. In choosing to delete 10 days from the calendar, Pope Gregory made a political decision and not a scientific one. The article shows how the correct number of days were actually calculated and the thinking behind Gregory's choice not to push for the correct' answer. It goes on to show how the hiatus in the Dark ...

... From: Kronos Vol. VI No. 1 (Fall 1980) Home | Issue Contents On Sothic Dating: Some Preliminary Remarks Lewis M. Greenberg The conventional reconstruction of Egyptian history is based on the assumption that the Egyptians regulated their calendar according to the heliacal rising of the star Sothis ( Spdt in Egyptian), or Sirius. This is known as Sothic dating, and it has become the pillar of support for reckoning the absolute chronology of ancient Egypt. In the words of Montet: "Were it not for the dates determined by the Sothic Cycle which provide a few fixed points of reference, Egyptian chronology would be a very uncertain field." The application of ...

... the stucco bases of pyramids, painted on countless frescoes and codices, and engraved on sarcophagi and monoliths strewn across Mexico. Figure 3: Quetzal-bird, with bright streaming tail The climactic event in the Quetzalcoatl myth is the god's catastrophic death and transformation in an overwhelming disaster- an event endlessly repeated in sacrificial rites and supplying the cornerstone of Aztec calendar rituals and astronomical symbolism. In a pervasive version of the myth, at the death of Quetzalcoatl the god's heart or soul rose in the sky as a great spark or ember, trailing smoke and fire- a "star" whose fiery train the Aztecs portrayed as the streaming tail of a quetzal-bird. Was this flaming star a " ...

In his column, Professor Michelson discusses the considerable precision with which such quantities as the mean synodic month of 29. ...

... Herodotus' reversals lack the catastrophic associations of V's, what was Herodotus talking about. The most likely explanation- in orthodox terms- seems to be that Herodotus misunderstood the nature of the Sothic Cycle. The Egyptian civil year consisted of 365 days. The actual solar year, however, consists of 3651/4 days. Thus the civil calendar would have fallen behind the solar (seasonal) calendar by 1/4 day every year, or by 1 day every four years. Left without correction, therefore, the civil calendar would have drifted with respect to the seasons, and eventually, for example, summer festivals would have ended up taking place on winter days. Thus ...

... are not long enough for a changed lunar month to be noticed or calculated, but offers no argument on the point. What Michelson does ultimately argue is that by 432 B.C . (255 years after the presumed last Mars disaster), a four-digit lunar cycle calculation would have been sufficiently accurate to permit the design of a 19-year calendar involving an intercalation of moon and sun, granted of course,,the sun's 365.25 figure was known (as he takes for granted and I would not oppose) and provided that anyone cared about the matter. This is a useful line of inquiry, no matter how deviously pursued. It can help us understand what was ...
