Its edifices were conceived with a magnificent sweep of imagination. The materials of which they were built were worked with exacting precision and adorned with leisurely skill. The arts flourished and the sciences throve. They found their ...
302. Physics, Astronomy and Chronology [Articles]
... to use carbon 14 dates. And of course the second one is that the process that makes the carbon 14 from nitrogen 14 is the reverse of the one I mentioned before involving the neutrinos, and any kind of upset of the Earth which will change the rate at which cosmic rays come to Earth, will throw off the carbon 14 calendar or anything that's a local disturbance would throw off the carbon 14 calendar, so it's a very chancy method of dealing with time. It may seem scientific, but there's a lot of undermined floor on which you can step, and if you find yourself in the basement with Sagan, you can blame yourself if you've quoted carbon-14 dates ...
303. The Ring About The Earth at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... chief features of the Egyptian religion remained unchanged from the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties down to the period when the Egyptians embraced Christianity'. Although the dating of the Rgveda in India is controversial, a number of authors place the origin around 2300BC [8 ]. One potentially important dating technique is based on astronomical observations, in that the naksatra calendar is referred to several times in the Rgveda. Authorities generally agree that on the the astronomical evidence, the 24th century BC is the most likely compilation date of the naksatra calendar [9 ]. Major Iranian deities have been identified with Indian counterparts in the Rgveda, allowing dating referencing to the Indo-Iranian separation at about 2300BC. In Greek ...
304. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... In an effort to disprove Patten's claim, previously offered by Velikovsky, that the year once consisted of 360 days, Ellenberger cited the independent works of Thomas Ferte and Bob Forrest. (37) In his response to Ellenberger, Patten complained through the following words: Ellenberger derides this evidence and cites two sources indicating the presence of a 365-day calendar in Egypt prior to 700 B.C . Who does he cite? Ipuwer? Strabo? Herodotus? Beres[s ]us? Solon? Aristarchus? Plutarch? No. He cites Forrest, whose manuscript is not commercially available, and Ferde [sic.], whose manuscript was never published. (38) All I ...
305. Pandemonium [Books] [de Grazia books]
... position that the sacred example preceded the profane. The correspondence between the number of planets and the number of strings on the lyre is an instance in point. It is only one of many. The number of observed planets obviously determines the number of strings on the instrument, not vice versa. An old Chinese text says that "the calendar and the pitch pipes have such a close fit, that you could not slip a hair between them."[18] This seems an odd expression until one realizes that the sacred calendar is replete with a synchronous musical calendar - from Easter music to Christmas music, for example. The pipes are pitched to heavenly sounds and numbers ...
306. Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation [Journals] [Aeon]
... liking for large numbers, sometimes used it in quirky ways. An example of this is stelae J and D at Quirigua. According to the experts, these stelae have dates of specific days 90 and 400 million years ago! [1 ] On the plus side, though, the Maya were smart enough to not only invent four different calendar systems, but were able to use all four at the same time. The four systems and their total time periods are: Almanac 260 days Haab 365 days (1 year) Calendar Round 18,980 days (52 years) Long Count Notation 1,872,000 days (5129 yrs) Each of these calendrical devices is ...
307. The Cosmic Serpent by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [Kronos]
... a comet, they dodge the issue. They note that Quetzlcoatl, the plumed or feathered serpent, was thought of in terms of a comet, yet "sometimes represents the Sun and sometimes, with his twin Xolotl, the planet Venus".(37) It is a pity they did not refer here to modern work by the calendar expert Floyd Lounsbury who has found that the Maya determined the times of rituals, war, and sacrifice by important points on the orbit of Venus.(38) In another place they note that Anahit, a Persian goddess, was "later identified with Venus, and is, according to Nyberg, best likened to a river and ...

309. New Proposals For A Downdating the Egyptian New Kingdom [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... 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 ( ...
310. 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 ...
