... astronomy. We sharply distinguish between these textual problems and the entirely different concerns that have led to an astronomical censoring or editing of the data. Let us use Year 12 as an example. All six of the surviving tablets that deal with Year 12 support or are consistent with an invisibility lasting from Nisan (the first month of the Babylonian calendar) to Ulul (the sixth month). The several tablets show slight variations in the length of the invisibility, with either 5m 16d, 5m 17d, or 5m 18d, and there are also slight variations in the dates of disappearance, with either I 8 or I 9, and in the dates of appearance, with either ...
492. Ultramassive Objects and the Bodner/Brandt Hypothesis (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... ½ (0 .01)(720)2 ~ ½ mile. During the same interval, Earth's own orbital motion will have carried it about 13,000 miles - so the gravitational effect of the Bodner-Brandt encounter is on the order of one part in twenty-five thousand, enough to be measured, but hardly reason to throw out current calendars. In the Bodner-Brandt Appendix I (" Probability Considerations") there are further problems. If there are 4.5 billion massive objects distributed through the Milky Way, which has a volume of about 2 x 1013 cubic light years, one can indeed make an estimate of the probability of any of the objects being within the volume ...
493. Sidelights on Velikovsky's 'Ages in Chaos' [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... month, the house was completed. . . ." Judging by chronicles of Canaan- more exactly, Tyre- preserved by one Menander of Ephesos, from whom the Jewish historian Josephus copied, we can securely date the temple of Solomon- constructed by Tyrian carpenters and artists with Lebanon timber- in the year -968 REC (Roman Ecclesiastic Calendar). We therefore commence the reign of Solomon in -971. The temple was completed in – 962; to build his own palace the king required six more years. Some time before -957 he got the princess of Egypt as wife, and her father, "Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had gone up and captured Gezer, ...
494. A Chronology for the Middle Kingdom and Israel's Egyptian Bondage - II. Israel in Egypt [Journals] [SIS Review]
... that these remarks should really be applied to a period far longer than one century. (ii) The Duration of the XIIIth Dynasty As was explained in Part 1, the end of the XIIth Dynasty and the start of the XIIIth is conventionally placed at 1786 BC, this data being arrived at from calculations based on Egypt's "Sothic" calendar. "Following the end of the Twelfth Dynasty in 1786 B.C . the next astronomically determinable anchor-point' in Egyptian history is the ninth year of the reign of King Amenophis I, the second ruler of the Eighteenth Dynasty." [11] This year is also calculated according to the usual Sothic reckonings, and has resulted ...
495. Thoth Vol II, No. 2: January 31 , 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... " sweeping away one kingdom (world age) and introducing a new order- the very function of the broom in Mesoamerican ritual. In fact, the broom plays a symbolically crucial role in more than one Aztec rite. A major celebration of the mother goddess Toci fell on the sixteenth of September, which was also a special day in the calendar of world ages. The name of the feast was Ochpaniztli, which means "Sweeping of the Roads." The chronicler Duran calls it "the Feast of Sweeping." The feast, as reported by Duran, was marked by human sacrifice, terrible commotion and feigned skirmishes in which the goddess Toci herself participated. In the ritual ...
496. The present state of Radiocarbon Dating [Articles]
... got onto that ship before it was built. Dendrochronology is mostly known for its use to provide a calibration curve for radiocarbon dates. The Bristlecone Pine has a sequence going back to 7000 BC. Radiocarbon dates done on tree rings of Bristlecone Pine of known age suggested that earlier than 500 BC there was a discrepancy between carbon 14 years and calendar years. This discrepancy meant that prior to 500 BC, C14 dates were too young and thus needed to be corrected. However, there is considerable doubt that this American calibration applied to the Old World. The Bristlecone Pine is living in a somewhat unusual environment, it is living at high altitude in a very dry part of the ...
497. New Fashions in Catastrophism [Books] [de Grazia books]
... frightful tumult. Here were Beaumont's more "reasonable" propositions: The geology of the world's surface is largely catastrophic. The catastrophe was caused by a cometary collision. All geological formations were shifted as result. Cosmic lightning played a major role. Hydrocarbons were present in cometary tails. Ancient chronology was several hundred years too old. The Ancient calendars had to be revised because of the catastrophe. Many species were extinguished catastrophically. Religion was born in cometary worship and tied to phallic forms because of the shape of comets. Fear of cometary collisions is inherited by mankind. Vermin were deposited by comets, which also provoked plagues. Deities from Egypt, Greece, Meso-America, and elsewhere ...
498. Forum Part Two [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ]. I am simply unable to accept the argument - which is, moreover, based on most dubious chronologies - that the last cosmic catastrophe of global extent occurred during the 3rd millennium BC. I am extremely doubtful that all major catastrophe traditions and rituals around the world, monotheistic movements and apocalyptic writings in Europe and Asia, that new calendars and new religions on all continents, new civilisations, new architecture and the beginning of historical consciousness among the ancient nations emerged with a delay of 1500 years. In my view, it is no coincidence that at this time, between 600 to 500 BC, all major world religions, scientific thought and rationalism began to emerge, that ...

... line .. . '. Either this was a poor translation, or one or other of the writers must have known it was not true. The shadow exercises an arc and only touches the line at dawn and dusk. In any case, this long rambling argument in no way proves that there had been no interim adjustment of the calendar between 44 BC and 1582 AD. Although the calculations offered are superficially attractive, the argument is not well established and, as Illig himself says, much of it is pure speculation'. Mike Rowland, Basingstoke, Hants.
