... theory from places as far afield as Iran and India. A paper by Illig in 1991 revealed that, as well known to conventional biblical scholars, many early church documents (most surviving documents from that period have a religious origin) are known to be falsified and have therefore probably been misinterpreted. The theory is also supported by the 1582 calendar reform by Pope Gregory XIII. The Gregorian calendar' was needed to correct a small error in the Julian calendar, which fell behind true solar time by a little less than a day per century. As there were 16 centuries between Pope Gregory and Julius Caesar, it should have been necessary to add about 13 days to adjust for ...
193. Megalithic Astronomy [Journals] [SIS Review]
... C .) towards the meridian tells the same story: the geographical location of the poles cannot have changed during the last 4.5 thousand years at least. The most important of the megalithic sites for our purpose are those claimed to be solar, since we may be sure that accurate observations of the Sun were essential if an exact calendar was required. The yearly cycle of movements of the Sun is also the most obvious sign of the passing seasons and of the stability of the heavens. The only way the length of the year can be measured exactly is by determining the time of the solstices - that is, by defining the place on the horizon where the position ...
... for he was cut into fourteen pieces, the number of days of the waning moon. Now we can easily understand an evolution beginning with a Moon-god and ending with a Sun-god. But the contrary is almost unthinkable, besides, we know that in Egypt it did not happen; the solar attributes got hardened as time went on. The calendar evidence, as we have seen, in relation to the original year of 360 days is in favour of Moon worship, and therefore of a Moon-god in the earliest times. The winged solar disk Further, if we accept this, the myth of Horus becomes a complete historical statement, of which parts have already been shown to refer ...
195. The Riddle of the Earth [Books]
... As to the first the Poles have shifted from a direction which 1 fancy lay before somewhere about the neighbourhood of Kamschatka; the Arctic circles have increased their areas considerably as a result of the added obliquity as we know from many indications ; and as to the earth's orbit we have, since civilised man lived on the earth and possessed the calendar, added five days to the year. Formerly the year consisted of 360 days, now it is 365 days odd, and if any one estimating the total weight of our globe takes one-seventy-third of it he will be perhaps able to ascertain the added weight of this enormous series of deposits belonging to the last or Tertiary Stage of the ...

... did know about the Sun-Moon octaeteris; from this he infers that they (or their definitive texts) must be lowered to the 6th century or later. Elsewhere, he continues to claim that there is knowledge about astronomical information at various places in the Homeric epics that cannot be earlier than the 6th century BC (e .g . the calendar cycles) ' [42]. The calendar cycles' he has in mind turn out to be the Sun-Moon octaeteris. He claims that the Sun-Venus octaeteris is so simple' that it presumably could have been recognised at almost any time; it is only the Sun-Moon octaeteris that uses a highly complicated mathematical system of intercalations' which had ...
197. "Nemesis" -- A New Idea as Old as the Bible? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... [l ] There, a "Day of the Lord Brahma" (a kalpa) was defined as an eon comprising 12 million Divine Years (devas); each Divine Year equalled 360 Earth Years. Thus, a Day of the Lord Brahma equalled 4,320,000,000 Earth Years. A study of the Hindu celestial calendar by the eleventh-century Arab mathematician Abu Rayhan al-Biruni[2 ] brought out the additional information that a kalpa consisted of 1000 cycles called caturyugas. One could thus paraphrase the Hindu celestial calendar as stating that in the eyes of the Lord Brahma a thousand cycles are but a single day. This brings to mind the Psalmist's statement regarding the Divine ...

... along with the evidence of old maps which indicate an ice-free Antarctica, and concluded that this physical evidence, along with most sky imagery, points to Earth having previously had an obliquity of 0 . Pietron also gave us a detailed assessment of the former roles and relationship of the planets Venus and Jupiter and even touched on the subject of Mayan calendars and large discrepancies in world wide datings. He clearly gave his audience much to think about and we hope to be able to properly assess his work with a detailed article in the future. Emmett Sweeney then entertained us with what appeared initially to be an off the cuff presentation of his thoughts about a connection between Stonehenge and King Arthur ...

... be found in the time warp' he says I'm caught in. At the close, Palmer calls for more rational arguments' for catastrophist views. I myself would appeal for more rational reviews' of catastrophists' works - preferably more objective, accurate and sans the sarcasm.. James E. Strickling, Duluth, GA, USA Mayan Calendar of 365 Days As expected, Michael G. Reade questions my theory that the Maya left evidence of a year of 365 days (C &CR 1996:2 , p. 59). When I saw him drive through the gate at Braziers I knew that if my theory had a fault he would find it. I took ...

... Jupiter and Saturn, and the orbital resonance which characterized the ancient orbits of Earth and Mars with Jupiter and Saturn. This will be explained subsequently. Implicit in this paper is the concept that the Earth, as a large gyroscope in space, also experienced spin axis precession; this too will be mentioned later. The Model 1. The Calendaric Dates, March 21 and October 25.
