... From: Aeon VI:6 (Dec 2001) Home | Issue Contents Forum Historical Day Cycles and Ancient Calendars Eric Aitchison From North Lambton, Australia, writes: The recent offering from Roger Ashton on the Egyptian cycle of 320 days [1 ] has stirred my interest. I have long cherished the concept that Velikovsky was incorrect in his claim of an increase in the length of the year from 360 to 365.25 days circa 687 BC. Thus, in 1995, I volunteered to give a short paper at the Braziers Conference under the auspices of the British Society for Interdisciplinary Studies. [2 ] Subsequent to that presentation, the paper was expanded to contain the ...
22. An Evaluation of the Practical Operation of the Stonehenge Calendar [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. XI No. 1 (Fall 1985) Home | Issue Contents An Evaluation of the Practical Operation of the Stonehenge Calendar Benjamin A. Bosher I found Alban Wall's paper, "A Calendric View of Stonehenge" (KRONOS VIII:2 , Winter 1983, pp. 35-46), to be a well thought-out solution that the functional use of Stonehenge was that of an accurate solar and lunar calendar. His explanation of the use of the horseshoe of 19 Bluestones to keep track of the 19-year cycle adds significantly to the search for the full solution to the riddle of Stonehenge, as does his explanation of the five Trilithons to divide the lunar month into ...
23. Sun, Moon, and Sothis: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt by Lynn E. Rose [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon V:5 (Jan 2000) Home | Issue Contents Sun, Moon, and Sothis: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt by Lynn E. Rose (Kronos Press: Deerfield Beach, Florida 1999) Reviewed by Frederic Jueneman This book isn't for everyone, as it heavily concentrates on the minutiae of calendrical detail that perhaps only a mathematician or historical specialist in such matters could fully appreciate or even conditionally respect. It is, without doubt, a superbly scholarly book. But what a hoot! I don't believe that I've ever read a book quite like this one, only half understanding what the author has to offer, but nevertheless ...
24. Ancient Calendars [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Chronology and Catastrophism Workshop 1988 No 2 (Jan 1989) Home | Issue Contents Ancient Calendars by Dick Atkinson a criticism of the Rene Gallant talk extract in C & C Workshop 1987:1 M Gallant covers a lot of ground. Part of his talk reflects the Thom/Hawkins/Hoyle attitude to supposed megalithic astronomy. Another area dealt with is the history of calendars. The third aspect is the supposed light thrown on catastrophic theories by ancient calendars. It is suggested that calendars were needed for four purposes, roughly: agricultural, religious, administrative and historical. The agricultural requirement' is often alluded to but rarely examined. Gallant speaks vaguely of the ...
25. Limitations of Astronomical Dating Methods* [Journals] [Kronos]
... a given location, so also it is possible to calculate backwards and determine the exact time and location of eclipses of the past. Hence, if a record of antiquity associates an eclipse with some specific historical event or with some specific year of a king's reign, it is then theoretically possible to date that event in terms of the present calendar or of any other calendar which has a proven relationship to the presently used calendar. It might be expected that with such a tool at our disposal, the last difficulties in setting up the broad and general outlines of the chronology of the ancient world would be removed. This has obviously not been the case, or there would be ...
26. Scientifically speaking... [Journals] [Pensee]
... From: Pensée Vol. 4 No 5: (Winter 1974-75) "Immanuel Velikovsky Reconsidered X" Home | Issue Contents Scientifically speaking...Professor Irving Michelson Dr. Michelson is professor of mechanics, Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago. 19-Year Lunar Calendar Cycle: Accurate Adjustment to 365-1/4-Day Civil Calendar Hard Science: When you can state that the lunar month is precisely 29.530589 days long, with eight-digit precision- equivalent to certainty to within one part in one hundred million- that's hard science! Astronomical Stability: When the Earth's rotation around its polar axis and orbital motion around the Sun, and the Moon's orbital motion around the Earth, are so constant over ...
27. Setting And Using The Stonehenge Nineteen Year Sun-Moon Calendar [Journals] [Horus]
... From: Horus Vol. 2 No. 3 (Fall 1986) Home | Issue Contents Setting And Using The Stonehenge Nineteen Year Sun-Moon Calendar Alban Wall Introduction The use of the Stonehenge as a solar-lunar calendar was described in the last issue of HORUS, based on material previously published in KRONOS. In the following we show how the operation of the calendar can be demonstrated by actually using it. Before reading the instructions below the reader is advised to study Figure 1 carefully. Notice that it has been aligned to conform to map conventions (North at top of page). When day and night are of equal length in Spring and Fall (March 21st and September 21st) ...

... Chapter XXVIII The Fixed Year and Festival Calendars THE reformation of the Egyptian calendar, to be gathered, as I suggested in the last chapter, from the decree of Tanis, is not, however, the point to which reference is generally made in connection with the decree. The attempt recorded by it to get rid of the vague year is generally dwelt on. Although the system of reckoning which was based on the vague year had advantages with which it has not been sufficiently credited, undoubtedly it had its drawbacks. The tetramenes, with their special symbolism of flood-, seed-, and harvest-time, had apparently all meant each in turn; however the meanings of ...
