... first stages of development toward present civilisation, Upper Paleolithic people have been conceived as too primitive to have achieved astronomy. But the bias extends far into the historical period where the practice of astronomy and capacity for accurate measurement are fully evident. Study of ancient astronomical knowledge has shown that, prior to the 7th Century B.C ., calendars and other astronomical observations do not conform to uniformitarian cycles. To remain within the uniformitarian framework, ancient observations which describe a different order in the solar system are, of necessity, regarded as inaccuracies. Alongside the general evidence for advanced skills in quantification and measurement, this conclusion presents a striking paradox. From the viewpoint of behavioural science ...

Consternation at Donati's Comet - as seen over Cambridge, 11th October 1858. "Early Historic Man - Catastrophism and Calendars" René Gallant began by outlining the various reasons for the creation of calendars by early man. Though it was "accepted generally that prehistoric and early historic man was unable to measure the exact length of the solar year", Gallant begged to differ. There can be little doubt that the people of the Neolithic period were as intelligent ...

From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2005 (Sep 2005) Home | Issue Contents The Stones of Time; Calendars, Sundials, and the Stone Chambers of Ancient Ireland by Martin Brennan Rochester, Vermont, 1994. Reviewed by Phillip Clapham The claim of this book is that megalithic mounds, otherwise known as passage graves or chambered tombs, are accurate sun chronometers whose structure required precise measurement to allow beams of light to illuminate the interiors at particular moments of the year – and indeed, throughout the year. One of the most important points raised by Brennan is that it was not simply the winter or summer solstice, or an equinox, that was being recorded or celebrated ...

Phillip Clapham, Hazlemere, Buckinghamshire Dear Reader I have been reading Tom Holland's book, Rubicon (Abacus, 2004), and noticed that he makes no reference to Julius Caesar's calendar reform. Almost certainly on the advice of Alexandrian scholars, in his inaugural year of 45 BC Caesar adopted the calendar with a leap year every 4 years, recommended by the Canopus Decree of 338 BC. However, supposedly to bring his calendar back into line with traditional Roman dating, his inaugural year included an additional 3 months. ...

105. A Maya Record of Two Thousand Years? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... .14 and the other is 14.1 .16.12, which represent 111554 and 101852 days respectively from the Maya long count zero, and the difference between the two numbers is 9702 days. Thompson makes no mention of these two dates or their use. It was hoped that, starting at the beginning date for the Maya calendar with a catastrophe, we could date all the happenings of the Maya for the 2416 years given on pages 70-74 with catastrophes known to them for this period of time. This depends on the validity of the sequence followed in my reading of the numbers, and the use of the two dates attached to the series. My analysis was ...

108. A New Theory of Celtic Festivals [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Catastrophism Workshop 1995 No 1 (June 1995) Home | Issue Contents ARTICLES A New Theory of Celtic Festivals by J.M . Williams The four great festivals which divided the Celtic year - Samain (1st November), Imbolc (1st February), Beltane (1st May) and Lugnasad (1st August) raise questions about the ancient calendar which are not satisfactorily answered by the usual explanations. TGE Powell describes the festivals: Samain marked the end of one year and the beginning of the next. It was considered to stand independently between the two and its position in relation to the natural seasons shows it clearly to have been the turning-point in a pastoralist, rather than an ...

110. The 360 Day Year: An Ambiguity Resolved [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... From: Catastrophism and Ancient History II:1 (Aug 1979) Home | Issue Contents The 360 Day Year: An Ambiguity Resolved John H. Fermor When Immanuel Velikovsky documented the widespread use of a 360 day calendar prior to 700 B.C ., and claimed this as proof of a change in the earth's motions, he introduced an ambiguity. If calendar days were solar and calendar years seasonal, then a 360 day year indeed demonstrates change, yet there are many ways of accounting for that change. We could posit a reduced year with normal day length. We could suppose year length to be unchanged but with longer days. We could vary both together. ...
