... [2 ] The Sothic period, a computation based on the rising of the star Sothis (Spdt in Egyptian), or Sirius, became the alpha and omega for the numerical construction of Egyptian chronology. The Egyptian year, for a considerably long period of history, consisted of 360 days; at some date in history, in a calendar reform, five days were added to the year. Under the Ptolemies another reform was contemplated-introducing a leap year every four years. In -238, in the ninth year of Ptolemy III Euergetes, a priestly decree was published in the Delta. In the last century it was found in Tanis and is known as the Canopus Decree for the ...

72. Chapter 3 Astronomical Sothic Dating [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... pharaohs ruled. What was needed was a way to establish an absolute date so that the chronology would have an anchor with which to fix the entire series of dynasties and their pharaohs. The solution to this problem lay in astronomy, as Ceram states: "But the unique boon which Egypt offered the historians of ancient times was the Egyptian calendar. "This calendar was priceless because it was relatively easy to understand and almost identical with the Julian calendar. . . . By means of this calendar the scholars arrived at their first fixed points in the ancient history of the Near East."1 In order to fix the history of Egypt, astronomy seemed to hold the key ...

... of chronology must be incorrect. Niemitz's account is seriously flawed, in failing to include any mention of Ravenna (an essential key to understanding the origin of the Aachen chapel in the orthodox scheme) and in making the unqualified (and hence misleading) statement that art historians explain and describe artefacts and buildings of this period as anachronistic'. Calendar reforms After his section on the Aachen chapel, Niemitz went on to address the issues of the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the 10 days deleted in the transition to the latter. Unfortunately, he did not appear to know the full story. He realised that an error of 10 days in the Julian calendar was detected in 1582, ...

... here that an underlying logic is at work, running from the specific to the general, from the archetype to the symbol. Quetzalcoatl died at a critical moment in cosmic history, a moment signified by both the end and the beginning of the time-reckoning cycle, mythically the end of one world age and the beginning of another. In the calendar system and in the sacred rites, the cyclical principle established by the life and death of Quetzalcoatl is both repeated and generalized: as above, so below; as before, so again. Hence, kings will die on the day One Reed, the day that Quetzalcoatl's heart-soul departed to become the planet Venus. What, then, ...

75. Further Thoughts On Time [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop No. 3 (Nov 1978) Home | Issue Contents Further Thoughts On Time by Mike Rowland MICHAEL Reade's interesting article on the perplexities of Man's relationship with time (WORKSHOP No. 2) prompts me to suggest other lines of thought, particularly with regard to the present-day calendar. It is often true that children have much more difficulty grasping the machinations of the calendar than they do the clock. A superficial glance would suggest a total lack of logic about the calendar, thus the need for the rhyme: "Thirty days hath September, April, June and November...." etc. The Americans had a two -day holiday this year ...

The sacerdotal year, like the secular year of the calendar, consisted of 360 days composing twelve lunar months of thirty days each. From approximately the seventh pre-Christian century on, the year of the Hindus became 365 ¼ days long, but for temple pur poses the old year of 360 days was also observed, and this year is called savana. When the Hindu calendar acquired a year of ...

... When the same gathering takes place in Capricorn, then we are in danger of the Deluge."1 INTRODUCTION In, and only in, ancient Hebrew literature can one find accounts and descriptions of ancient catastrophes that have been intermixed with ancient chronologies. Thus, two aspects of the dating of those catastrophes is possible. One aspect is the calendared day of the month which identifies the location of the Earth in its orbit. The second aspect is the year. 1 Stanley Mayeer Burstein, The Babylonaica of Berossus (Location and Date omitted). 54 VELIKOVSKIAN Vol. V, No. 1 Fourteen separate catastrophes can be identified covering some 17 centuries B.C ., and ...

... one or two days, and thereafter appears west of the rising sun and is again the Morning Star. These movements of Venus and their exact duration have been known to the people of the Orient and the Occident for over two thousand years. Actually a "Venus year," which follows the synodical revolution of Venus, was employed in calendars of the Old and New World alike. Five synodical years of Venus equal 2919.6 days, whereas eight years of 365 days equal 2920 days, and eight Julian years of 365-1/4 days equal 2922 days. In other words, in four years there is a difference of approximately one day between the Venus and the Julian ...
