... up for resting the Corpus, Christi,.during the Fête-Dieu processions are called in ,French. This would indicate that the feast, in the particular year referred to, fell at or near the summer solstice, as it sometimes does, and as it perhaps always did until it was disturbed by Moon-worship, or by a vague lunar calendar. M. Jules Lemaitre has been good. enough to inform me. that he does not think this wheel-altar was traditional on the spot. ' , The Japanese Buddhist priest Kiu-8 of the Shingaku sect, in one of his familiar sermons, speaks slily of a number of fish arranged in the centre of a dish, as being ...

... valuable calendric material must not be ignored, and that careful re-evaluation of the evidence, including allowance for possible catastrophes during the period in question, might result in a new astronomical chronology for Egypt based on the Sothic data and compatible with a revised chronology. He started from the proposition that in the 3rd century BC the Egyptians had a 365-day calendar although the natural year was 365 ¼ days. In 26 BC the Julian calendar of 365 ¼ days was introduced into Egypt but the Alexandrian calendar of 365 days remained in use. By AD 139 there was a discrepancy of 41 days between the Julian and Alexandrian calendars for the date of 1 Thot, the Egyptian New Year's Day. ...

... in the revised chronology with Pharaoh Necho of the XXVIth Dynasty, who ruled in the 6th century [6 ]. The dates obtained from the reed bonding of the walls are shown in Fig. 1, and are: 990 100 bc, 1060 80 bc and 1125 60 bc - averaging out at 1058 46 bc. The equivalent in calendar years, obtained by reference to the Californian tree-ring calibration, is about 1170-1210 BC, according to the MASCA table [7 ], or 1210 according to Clark [8 ]; and these correlations bring the building's age very close to its traditional historical date. However, one cannot yet be sure that this tree-ring correction of C14 dates ...

... flybys. Energy can change its form such as from velocity to heat or spin axis torques. But energy never appears as if by on the magic; also it never disappears by magic. This is Newtonian science. The other ancient Roman "feariday" (not holiday) was on October 24, which was Marchesvan 17, ancient Tishri calendar, widely used in the Near East. This day in October almost coincides with the solemn Hebrew day of atonement. It was cited as the onset day of Noah's Flood (Genesis 7). In later Hebrew times, October 24 (Tishri 17) reportedly was a dangerous day.4 Celtic Halloween themes repeat this same theme for ...

... when Dynasty XII ended would be to cast adrift from our only firm anchor, a course that would have serious consequences for the history, not of Egypt alone, but of the entire Middle East," writes Gardiner, when dealing with "the difficult topic of chronology" (10). The scheme commonly applied is that of a calendar tied to the fixed star called Spdt in Egyptian, Sothis in Greek, and Sirius by the Romans - the English "Dog star" . The star becomes visible in Egypt about the time when the Nile begins to rise - the most important event for a country the productivity of whose fields depended on the annual Nile Flood. After ...

... been concerned for more than a score of years. This book contended that the cataclysm described in the Old Testament as universal Deluge was caused by the impact of a comet at the end of the third millennium B.C ., and that up to the Deluge the solar year had the duration of 360 days only, yet the new calendar of 365 days had to wait to be introduced by Nabonassar (in 747 B.C .) . These contentions were based mainly on historical evidence, whereas astronomical considerations were the main ground for suggesting that comets may become planets: Yet comets by passing through the planetary regions in all planets and directions... seem fit to ...

... 1947 onwards: a story which most people are aware of in general outline. We were reminded that the Essene community at Qumran was very different in its form of worship from the rest of the country and was a community of monastic. ascetic, extremely devout Jews who abhorred the practices in the Temple in Jerusalem. They used a solar calendar. not the lunar calendar which was normal practice then and their sectarian books relate to a much earlier period than the 150 BC - 68 AD time span of the Qumran occupation. In some of the scrolls. which were clearly written within that space of time. the word for God is written in a form which dates from a ...

... very complicated; apparently a great number of strands, some of them surely of extreme antiquity, others evidently of late date, have been woven together into a fabric almost impossible to unravel. The most important thing which we can learn from this myth is that owing to the consequences of an intrigue between the Earth and the starry Night-Sky the calendar system had to be changed, and that it was Thoth, the Measurer', a lunar deity, who caused this alteration to be made. The alteration itself amounted to a reconciliation of the artificial year of 360days (twelve subdivisions of 30 days each) with the solar year of 365 days (neglecting the 5" 48' ...

... temples of Thebes were like marshes. ' Amun was brought forth from the temple in his sacred barque, and the priests prayed that he might abate the flood." However, on WIC p.2O5, V writes of this flood : " That it was not a seasonal inundation of the Nile is clear from the date. This calendar date for the high level of inundation does not at all correspond to the place of the calendar in the seasons." V has got this quote from one of Breasted's footnotes to the flood inscription. The apparent contradiction with what has just been said is explained by reading the footnote in full, rather than V's edited version of it ...
