... to the question, why? I said to him, because this was the time when the year was of twelve months of thirty days each, not only the month, but the travelling of the Moon. And, interestingly- this I bring in before coming back to Ammizaduga- you can read it in every modern book of ancient calendars, whether Parker about Egypt, or anybody else across the two continents of Asia and Europe- Egypt included- and the New World. You find always the same expression of wonder about the Moon movement, not just the month. Now to this I wish to say. When I mentioned to Dr. Huber that because of this ...

293. The Charisma of Moses [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Egypt and Babylon. Again the problem of control. Precisely during Moses' tenure, also, the skies were usually clouded and dusted over; it was a poor period for astronomical observation. Finally, a sedentary observatory would be needed for star studies; this a wandering nation could not provide. In Jewish tradition we hear that a new calendar was divinely ordained to begin in the month of Nisan, with the Passover to be celebrated on the 15th of Nisan, "but the computations for the calendar were so involved that Moses could not understand them until God showed him the movements of the moon plainly."[54] God ordered a court to be set up to ...
294. The Birth and Odyssey of Halley's Comet: From 2484 B.C. to the Present Time [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... 9 Mar. 1784 B.C . 21 July 852 B.C . 10 Dec. 1707 B.C . 22 Mar. 774 B.C . 11 Sep. 1629 B.C . 23 Nov. 697 B.C . In our work, Catastrophism and the Old Testament, we describe the era when a 360-day calendar for the Earth was satisfactory to ancient peoples on five continents. We cited Immanuel Velikovsky's more extensive research showing this to be the case in at least thirteen ancient societies. In our research for this essay we have found that in ancient times the Chinese had 24 semi-months per year, each exactly 15 days, totaling 360 days. In ...
295. Solomon and Sheba [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1997:1 (Oct 1997) Home | Issue Contents Solomon And Sheba by Damien F. Mackey Damien Mackey (MA, BPhil) has a Masters Degree from the University of Sydney (Australia). His thesis The Sothic Star Theory of the Egyptian Calendar', was a demolition job' on conventional Egyptian dating. In his reconstruction (i ) the Exodus occurred at the end of Egypt's Old Kingdom (EBA); (ii) the MBI people were the Israelites of the Exodus/Conquest and (iii) the early monarchy of Israel was contemporary with the early New Kingdom of Egypt. On these points his reconstruction is ...

... of the day... and even the trees bear their green foliage almost throughout the year." Two indications support this: (1 ) that the day was divided into 12 hours all year round, whatever its length; and (2 ) that the concepts "summer" and "winter" were not part of the Egyptian calendar, which was divided into three seasons of four months each deriving from the stages of the Nile inundation. Thus, it would not be too surprising if the Mesopotamian/Egyptian calendar were to ignore the sun's progress entirely: this is a factor which must be taken into account when researching ancient calendars. The moon is another enigma. ...
297. The Hebrew Patriarchs in Greek Tradition (Part I) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . It showed how some Jewish traditions could be construed as pointing towards an Israelite sojourn in 18th Dynasty Egypt. The details in those traditions seem to link Joseph's rise to power with the first regnal year of young king Amenhotep I, and Jacob's entry with his 9th year when severe earthquakes struck the land [1 ] and a significant new calendar was introduced [2 ]. By utilising that 9th year as a key' date, a tentative chronology for the Hebrew patriarchs can be developed. For example, one could count back 215 years to find that Abram would have entered Egypt during the rule of the powerful vizier Enkhu. This official held power for perhaps 18 years or ...

... at Elephantine, would not be totally out of place here as the god of birth and fertility (associated with the source of the Nile and seen as a potter shaping infants), he might be considered justified in taking a place amongst the spring constellations. But then, the Egyptian season of "Growth" fell (in the pharaonic calendar, and effectively until the building of the Aswan dam) during our winter, beginning four months after the start of the Inundation around the summer solstice . . . - R.M .L .] Probable orientation of the heavens as seen from Earth (northern hemisphere) at the time of the Phaeton episode.

299. The Ring About The Earth at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... chief features of the Egyptian religion remained unchanged from the Fifth and Sixth Dynasties down to the period when the Egyptians embraced Christianity'. Although the dating of the Rgveda in India is controversial, a number of authors place the origin around 2300BC [8 ]. One potentially important dating technique is based on astronomical observations, in that the naksatra calendar is referred to several times in the Rgveda. Authorities generally agree that on the the astronomical evidence, the 24th century BC is the most likely compilation date of the naksatra calendar [9 ]. Major Iranian deities have been identified with Indian counterparts in the Rgveda, allowing dating referencing to the Indo-Iranian separation at about 2300BC. In Greek ...
300. Precursors of Quantavolution [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . s work, which he expressed most strongly in an article of 1982, did not extend to accepting the participation of planet Venus. He presented the Deluge in an unusual structural form; generally his work has this geometrical structure of thought. Like Deg, he was prone to set up categories and lists. He developed also a short-term calendar of the ages. His brief but friendly criticisms of V. were threefold: that V. was over- influenced by Freud and prone to accept too many evolutionary and uniformitarian doctrines, that he was unquantitative and unsystematic in his geology, and that V. was overconcerned with his critics. I cannot dispute Patten, because these same ...
