... emperor sent scholars to different parts of China, and even to Indo-China, to find out the location of north, west, east, and south by observing the direction of the sun's rising and setting and the motion of the stars. He also charged his astronomers to find out the duration of seasons, and to draw up a new calendar. The Shu King is called the oldest book of Chinese chronicles, rewritten from memory or from some hidden manuscript after the burning of books by Tsin-chi-hoang. In its oldest section, the canon of Yaou [Yahou], it is written: "Thereupon Yaou [Yahou] commanded He and Ho, in reverent accordance with the wide ...

... levels to a marked extent. (c ) Changes in sea-levels, which will particularly be detectable in coastal sites. (d ) Migrations of peoples, which will be shown in the archaeological stratigraphy by the appearance of new industries. (e ) Calendric changes, which will be performed by the new occupants of the sites to adjust the calendar to the new astronomical conditions. (f ) Historical traditions and records, which, in a more or less mythical form, will recount the terrible experiences through which the peoples have lived. Some of the records are particularly clear and precise on the subject. The above points, which only summarize in a general way the physical and ...

204. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... so confused that I'll start at the end. He says: "If one allows for pre-Exodus events' then almost certainly the Maya [Venus] cycle would date from the post-Exodus period, and the Israelite jubilee (if it does represent a Venus cycle) would reflect a pre-Exodus period." A). The Maya ran four "calendars" at the same time: a 365 day solar year calendar; a 260 day ritual year calendar; a 584 day Venus "year" calendar; and a lunar calendar. Then every so often, they would adjust for cumulative errors because the solar year was almost 365.25 days, the Lunar period was not exact and ...
205. Tisserand and a Trojan to the Rescue [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... quote from Black Athena was completely lost on Patten and Hatch: "The fact that phenomena can be easily imagined has nothing to do with the likelihood of their actual occurrence." The following list presents my main points of contention with Patten and Hatch which are elaborated in the balance of the text: Patten cites no evidence of a 361-day calendar to support a 361-day year. Patten does not show that Mars' orbit could be circularized in 300 years; he only asserts it. Mars also being a Venus crosser in the Catastrophic Era destroys the essential 2:1 Earth-Mars resonance. Contrary to what Patten says, the orbits of asteroids in resonance with Jupiter are not necessarily perpendicular ...
206. A Chronology for the Middle Kingdom and Israel's Egyptian Bondage [Journals] [SIS Review]
... evidence in Part II. Here in Part I we focus attention on the XIIth Dynasty. This dynasty seems to have been one of the strongest and most prosperous periods of Egypt's history. It also provides the currently accepted Egyptian chronology with one of its sheet-anchors. Dynasty XII is currently dated according to the conventional understanding of Egypt's "Sothic" calendar. According to W. C. HAYES, in the 7th year of Sesostris (or Senwosret) III, the 5th ruler of that dynasty, "a heliacal rising of the star Sothis was recorded on 16.viii of the 365-day civil calendar, a fact which .. . allows the year in question to be placed between ...
207. The Cycle of 320 Days [Journals] [Aeon]
... of Tefibi is illustrated with 32 columns for periods of 10 days each, [27] totaling a year of 320 days. In the era of Dynasties 9 to 12 inclusive, Dynasties 11, 12, and 13 constituting the Middle Kingdom, the coffin lids of some notables were painted with diagrammatic scenes of nightly shifting stars. In these calendars, there were generally 36 columns representing 36 periods of 10 days each. [28] Extra columns at the end to the left are interpreted as indicating intercalary or epagomenal days. [29] The 12 horizontal rows in the diagram represent 12 periods of 10 days each, totaling 120 days, through which the noted stars, or ...
208. Anno Domini Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... have wished to eradicate the year 540 event from history so the unknown monk disguised it – with the symbolism associated with the number 33. In other words, the rebirth/resurrection motif really belonged to 540, an expectation of the second coming' driven by a reappearance of Arthur's likeness in the sky. There is some indication the Christian calendar years were married into an older Jewish chronology that was used ostensibly to determine exactly when Jesus was born – or so it has been argued. The Jews used different dating systems, according to Benny Peiser [4 ] (see C&C Review 2002:2 , page 33) .. . A system calculated from a base ...
209. Chapter VIII: the Earliest Solar Shrines in Egypt [Books]
... is required to explain it. I say this advisedly, although I know creed can go a great way, because among these early peoples their astronomy was chiefly a means to an end. It was not a story of abstract conceptions, or the mere expression of interesting facts whether used for religious purposes or not. The end was a calendar, of festivals and holydays if you will, but a calendar which would allow their tillage and harvest to prosper. Now, it is almost impossible to suppose that those who worshipped the sun at the solstice did not begin the year at the solstice. It is, of course, equally difficult to believe that those who preferred to ...
210. Fingerprints of the Gods: do ancient relicts point to an advanced civilisation 15,000 years ago? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... people whom archaeologists call the Olmecs. We know very little about the Olmecs. Olmec means rubber people and that is how they were referred to by the Aztecs and they come from a rubber producing area of the Gulf of Mexico. All that we are left with are certain stone artefacts and compelling evidence that these people used a highly advanced calendar which was later inherited by the Maya. It is curious to see this African representation, this rather strange similarity, between the head of the Sphinx and these so-called Olmec heads (which can weigh up to 60 tons each). Of course African people are not supposed to have been present in the New World until the time of ...
