... Actually, the very numerous cuneiform tablets found in the ruins of the Nineveh royal library, and if dating from before ca. -700, contain calendric and astronomical data that differ greatly from those of our times; that advanced mathematics was employed in preparing these tablets is readily admitted by specialists in Babylonian astronomy. According to these tablets, the calendar was repeatedly altered, and at certain periods the vernal equinox was identified on dates far removed from March 21st; the values for the longest and shortest days (daylight hours) of the year repeatedly and drastically changed, too. Significantly, the very same changes in the calendar and in estimates of the longest and shortest days of the ...
282. The Bible Myth : The African Origins Of The Jewish People by Gary Greenberg (Book review) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... basis for astronomical and calendrical investigation. Nothing like that is to be found from anywhere else in Dynastic Egypt. Some readers may be aware that I have moved the Twelfth Dynasty to the fifth and fourth centuries. If that is accepted, then Greenberg's project becomes hopeless. (See my Sun, Moon, and Sothis: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt, KRONOS Press, 1999, Volume II of The Osiris Series, sponsored by Cosmos and Chronos, and edited by Dwardu Cardona. One of my key findings is that Year 7 of Sesostris III was -394. Another is that the Twelfth Dynasty ended on October 4 Julian, -331, when Alexander the ...

... and calculation, revealing that the megalithic architecture at Nabta Playa is a unified and detailed astrophysical map of truly astonishing accuracy, with no less than staggering implications. Written for the educated general reader, with technical appendices, the discovery of how to decipher the system of megalithic structures is reported with gripping clarity. Contents: Part I. The calendar circle. Star viewing diagram. Corroboration of the star viewing diagram. Calendar circle discussion. Part II. The Origin Map. Megalith alignments. Galaxy Map. Scaling Law. Cosmology cow stone. Part III. Giza Monuments Galactic Zodiac Clock. Orion's Belt. Galactic Center. Giza results. Giza discussion. Part IV. Origin Map ...
... equator in the opposite direction to the Earth's spin. A previous year of exactly 365 days would number 2 days, 2 hours, 12 minutes, 5 seconds less, or 362 days, 21 hours, 47 minutes, 55 seconds. There would be no shift of the polar axis. Historical documents prove that ancient peoples have repeatedly introduced calendar reforms. It is now well established that at one time a year of 360 days was in use. At some time it was replaced by a year of 365 days, and to the latter succeeded a year of 365 days and a quarter. It is generally believed that these successive reforms were the result of steady progress and improvements ...
285. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... found in Britain is a spear point made of deer bone or antler. The latest dating procedure, known as accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating, suggests it is between 28,000 and 27,360 years old but others suggest that modern man reached Europe much earlier, between 37,000 and 43,000 years ago. Babylonian Jewish Calendar Jewish Chronicle The Jewish calendar follows that of the lunar-based Babylonian system developed between 750 and 540 BC. This was originally to distinguish themselves from the Egyptians, who used a solar calendar, and a 2,400 year old Babylonian calendar has been found among the Jewish military colony on Elephantine island in the Nile. Submerged Evidence not so ...
286. Appendices [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... , to hand calculations which were never shown to anyone. It is apparent from reading Totten's book that the missing day story is an updated version of Totten's prevarication. The modern touch of NASA, computer and scientists replaced the less believable situation in the Totten book. To perform a calculation of the type Totten claims to have performed, accurate calendar points before and after the event would be required. If you had an accurate calendar, you would not need to perform the calculations. If you used astronomical data before and after the event, you would need very exact data, but none exists. To do his calculations, Totten assumed he knew exactly how long ago the Earth ...
287. Saturday: Introduction [Journals] [SIS Review]
... not be measured in billions, nor even millions of years. Indeed, how can we measure a system of time based on Earth's rotation and orbital time around the Sun, neither of which has been historically constant? (See the recent book by Prof. Lynn E. Rose, Sun, Moon, and Sothis: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt, dealing with the history of measuring time.) Even using these variables I would be surprised if we are measuring time' even in a single' million. Our planet and others existed and orbited proto-Saturn, during which time' the Earth became inhabitable and life evolved. This planet's pole was located ...

... was an action similar to cenain asteroids presently in the 2:1 and 3:1 orbit resonances with Jupiter's orbit.](3 ) 5. EARTH ORBIT DIMENSION The catastrophic orbit of the Earth had an eccentricity of about .03 compared to the current .017. It passed through its perihelion always on January 7 (in modern calendar terminology).(4 ) Furthermore, its average orbital distance from the Sun was about 800,000 miles less than the current average of 93,000,000 miles. In this ancient orbit the Earth's rotation rate (being essentially its current rate) resulted in a 360 day year. This former year length is attested to ...
289. An Integrated Model for an Earthwide Event at 2300 BC. Part II: The Climatological Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... J. Murray, Climates of Hunger [University of Wisconsin Press 1977], pp.26,27) Throughout this article there will be chronological charts showing variations in climatic conditions and resultant effects on the environment with time. Most of the charts have been reproduced from the original sources. In some cases, the charts are drawn in calendar years; in others, radiocarbon years. In all cases, I have marked the date of 2300 BC on the charts for clarity of presentation. On those charts showing the dating in radiocarbon years, the 2300 BC marker will be lined up approximately with 1800 BC or 3800 BP on that chart, reflecting the approximate 500 year correction ...

... mean period [of Halley's comet] over two millenniums is not far short of 77 years' [5 ]. From August 87 BC to August 1531 AD (both perihelion passages of the comet) the period averaged 76 years and 261 days [6 ]. 9 such periods exceed 690 years. 2). The Greeks adjusted their calendar according to the cycles of Meton (19 years) and Callipus (76 years, i.e . 4 Metonic periods minus a day). The Metonic period is an eclipse cycle, actually 5 times the shorter 47 month eclipse cycle. (4 eclipse years of 346.62 days make 1386.5 days; 47 months ...
