... only having been trained in recognizing various forms of resistance with which analytical patients react when unwelcome truth is about to reveal itself, could I understand the unique spectacle which I observe now for a full generation." (KRONOS III:2 , pp. 15-16)] 2. A case in point is Clavius, author of the Gregorian calendar reform. At first a vehement opponent of Galileo, Christopher Clavius, with other Jesuits of the Roman College, repeated Galileo's observations in 1611, a year after Galileo published his Sidereus Nuncius. "John Adam Schall von Bell, later to be the first European director of the Chinese Bureau of Astronomy, was present as a young man ...

... : "It would have had no sense early in the morning of a battle, with a whole day ahead, to have prayed for the lengthening of the sunlight even into the night time." 2. The Mayan tongue is still spoken by about 300,000 people, but of the Mayan hieroglyphics only the characters employed in the calendar are known for certain. 3. Known also as Codex Chimalpopoca. "This manuscript contains a series of annals of very ancient date, many of which go back to more than a thousand years before the Christian era" (Brasseur). 4. Sefer Ha-Yashar, ed. L. Goldschmidt (1923); Pirkei Rabbi Elieser ...
473. Venus and the Jubilee [Journals] [Aeon]
... in his favor are the laws relating to the regaining of liberty in the jubilee year: Here is a clear symbolic parallel to the Exodus event. The Exodus event was associated with a "plague" of darkness which endured for a long time and obscured the heavens. Later, as the Jewish legends relate, Moses had difficulty determining the calendar until God showed him the movements of the Moon plainly. (3 ) Moses could not observe the stars and could not know the exact period of Venus after the Exodus- and there were still many years to elapse before the intervention at Beth-Horon, fifty-two years after the Exodus. So how, if the jubilee cycle had a celestial ...

McCreery and Sara Champion (reprinted from Nature), a document on the reception of Sagan's Broca's Brain by the general press compiled by Leroy Ellenberger, some comments on Velikovsky's "Shamir" by chemist Fred Jueneman, and a letter by Michael Reade criticising the "loose claims" about ancient calendars made by John Dayton. \cdrom\pubs\journals\review\v0501\05horiz.htm ...
475. "Following The Precedent Of One Galileo". File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... Galileo persist in his opinion and be happy. I persist in my opinion."(1 ) And his opinion was that Galileo arranged these planets in his telescope to cheat the credulous and to earn undeserved fame. Professor Clavius was not a man without erudition. As a matter of fact, he was the chief author of the Gregorian calendar reform. Professor Francesco Sizzi, an astronomer in Florence, declared that there could be but seven planets because seven is a holy number; therefore, there could be no moons around Jupiter. "We have only seven windows in our heads," he said, "two nostrils, two eyes, two ears, one mouth. ...

... the fifth sign of the Chinese zodiac, and the symbol of the East, the rising sun, and the spring rain; the white dragon, on the other hand, governed the West and death. In winter, according to popular tradition, dragons live underground, but they come to the surface in the second month of the Chinese calendar and cause thunder and the first rains." Breathing fire, or bringing life-sustaining rain.... Ebenezer ...

... world history to a level of superlative interest. Obscure allusions to events in classical and sacred literature become crystal clear as he fits together the jigsaw puzzle of history. "World-shaking events" is no figure of speech in Dr. Velikovsky's work. The earth, on at least two occasions, was shaken to such an extent that the prevailing calendar was thrown out of gear .. . [and] its axis [was tilted] so that the latitude of places was changed by a wide arc of circle producing extensive climatic changes, according to the historical evidence.... Some different interpretations undoubtedly will be assigned to causes and effects by astronomers and physicists than are contained ...
478. "This Was Oedipus". Part 2 (Oedipus and Akhnaton) [Velikovsky]
... his capital.9 As to the length of his elder son's reign, Smenkhkare-Polynices reigned one year only. Both the Greek legend and history are in agreement on this point. Although the last date of Smenkhkare's reign is year "third," Roeder in his recent article on Smenkhkare states: "The duration of his reign was not three calendar years, but only a little more than one single year."10 The younger brother did not vacate the throne when his year's reign was over and it was years before the elder was able to return with his allied armies and attempt to regain the crown. Tutankhamen's last year was the eighth, but it is probable that his ...
479. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , as the 8-year repetition interval does not operate in the same manner with all of Huber's starting years, due to his (justified) manipulation of intercalary months so as to modify the potential starting points of individual years by one or more months (this does not affect the longitude in which the conjunction occurs but it does shift the associated calendar date). Huber's techniques for tackling such problems will be of interest to all would-be interpreters of ancient chronological matter, irrespective of whether they agree with his results or not. It would seem, however, that there must be many more starting years than the ones actually tested which will give similar "fits" with the available data ...

... position along the longitude of 60 W to cause climate change in America. Tracking a Venus cycle of around 52 years forward from Velikovsky's Exodus date encompasses a number of significant dates, notably 776 BC, the traditional year for the foundation of the Olympic Games; 620 BC, the year King Josiah celebrated his Great Passover festival and changed the calendar, 517 BC, the 70th year after the fall of Jerusalem; 465 BC, the year Xerxes suffered a mandate of heaven' death; 259 BC, the year the Indian King, Aasoka, became a Buddhist; 1 AD, the year of the birth of Christ; 105 AD when, according to Dion Cassiodorus, happened ...
