... above example suggests, contemporary researchers need to be wary of assuming our predecessors' folk memories of astral events relate to bodies familiar to our time. There is considerable reason to suspect that the majority of the planets' namesakes were comets - probably of the Encke family. A conventional view comes from W.M . O'Neil's Time and the Calendars (1975): "The word planet comes from the Greek planetes, the wanderers; these seven celestial bodies moved among the fixed stars. The Babylonians had a more picturesque name, bibbu, the wild sheep, as these bodies broke through the fixed formation in which the tame sheep crossed the sky." To call into question ...
502. Mars Gods of the New World [Journals] [Aeon]
... scholars specializing in Mesoamerican cultures. Unlike their counterparts investigating ancient Near Eastern cultures, these scholars have been open to the possibility that astronomical phenomena influenced early religious conceptions. David Kelley, for example, has observed that: "It has been clear to all serious students of Mesoamerican culture that there was an intimate relationship between astronomical knowledge, the calendar, and religious beliefs and rituals." (5 ) Susan Milbrath offered a similar opinion: "A number of scholars agree that the fundamental nature of the ancient Mesoamerican pantheon is astronomical." (6 ) Numerous studies have documented the importance of Venus to the Maya. Floyd Lounsbury has shown that the ancient Maya regulated various aspects ...
503. The 1552 Exodus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... jubilee from a 1552 Exodus. With the sabbatical cycle and the day of the week the probability in support of 1552 is seven times seven, or forty-nine to one. If the jubilee cycle is substantiated this can be increased to seven times forty-nine, or 316 to one. However, due to uncertainties in present knowledge of the early Israelite calendar, these odds should be reduced somewhat. The Evidence from Egypt The archaeological support for a 1552 Exodus is also compelling. The events in Egypt at the beginning of the eighteenth dynasty fit the biblical record, including the death of pharaoh's first-born son and the devastation of the delta by plagues. The expulsion of the Hyksos followed by the ...
504. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a swamp in eastern England show that there were 12 groups of wooden posts and new posts were added every 18 years, which is a major lunar cycle. Astronomical calculations show that 5 of the 12 years when posts were added coincided with a total lunar eclipse in midwinter, the time of year the trees were cut. Evidence from engraved calendars from France, dated at AD200, indicates that late Iron Age Europeans were systematically observing the Moon and various Classical writers describe the Druids using lunar calculations, with Julius Caesar, in the 1st century BC suggesting that such calendars must have had a more ancient origin. Chinese Connections Scientific American, May 2002, p. 11, Telegraph ...
505. The Two Jehorams [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from the 1899 edition of the Encyclopaedia Biblica, argued that it was impossible to fit within these twelve years the death of Ahab, Ahaziah's two year reign, the twelve years of Jehoram, and the accession of Jehu. On the other hand, this problem of "congestion" only arises if one treats the regnal years involved as full calendar years. Edwin Thiele's chronological scheme (11), based on the premise that full calendar years were not always intended, shows that there is no real problem here: the chronology is tight, but it is plausible: 853 Death of Ahab at Ramoth-Gilead (after battle of Karkar) 853-852 Reign of Ahaziah 852-841 Reign of Jehoram 841 ...
506. Solomon, The Exodus and Abraham Related to Egyptian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... MB to MB I (MB I to MB II on the American system)? Some Comments on Sothic and Carbon Dating This article would not be complete without some indication of the approach to be adopted on these subjects. It is to be hoped that Sothic dating will soon be dead and buried. This method, whereby the Egyptian civil calendar of 365 days per year is supposed to have slowly progressed relative to the true year on a cycle of approximately 1460 years, has very weak foundations and Egyptologists should not have based their whole chronology on it [34]. However, carbon dating is a useful tool that is not going to go away. Modern dating techniques have ...
507. Velikovsky and Tangun [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... C .) " and his later exploits into the rule of "sixteenth emperor Ojin (270-310)." 2. Some post-Tangun events are mentioned in some histories. For example, according to O Yungok's Tongsa Yonpyo, the Koreans of "1879 B.C ." were noted dragon catchers; the first Korean ships, porcelain, calendars, and metal swords were produced during this period; and the peninsula was visited by Wang Kumsok, a seer who knew the secrets of wind, frost, and famine (Rutt 1983:95). But there is nothing like a continuous chronology or kinglist or other kind of conventional historical account between Tangun's foundation and Chinese geographical citations ...
508. The Inconstant Sun [Journals] [Kronos]
... the glare of the solar disk. These records go back in China in reliable form to the Han Dynasty (200 B.C . to A.D . 200), by which time a well-organized astronomical/astrological bureaucracy was established with the task of keeping the Emperor informed of portents from the heavens, and responsibility for maintaining the calendar. The historical records of each succeeding Chinese dynasty include a wealth of astronomical observations, and from the tenth century similar records are available from Korea. Generally, the astronomer/astrologers of the time regarded sunspots as a sign that something was up, but they were far from consistent in deciding just what such an omen portended; it ...
509. Stephen J. Gould And Immanuel Velikovsky: Essays In The Continuing Velikovsky Affair [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Velikovsky showing that when he comes to Velikovsky he advances only double standards and hypocrisy to support his claims. Finally, Wolfe sums up the Affair and the historical, social, psychological, catastrophic significance of it. In an addendum to this volume, Rose presents a discussion of his personal contacts with the Velikovskys and then turns to analyze ancient calendars that indicate the 12th Egyptian dynasty must be moved closer to the present by over 1000 years. In an Appendix of over 100 pages, Rose lastly presents, for the first time, the full, verbatim discussion carried on between Velikovsky and his critics at the AAAS symposium. This is of major historical importance since it exists in print ...
510. How the Gods Fly [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Mercury apparently pauses at apparent rendezvous point 21 Apollo apparently pauses at apparent rendezvous point 25/26 Mars and Moon move at opposing adjacent angles for rendezvous point From this collection of movements, it may be inferred that marked changes in the orbital speed of Mars, Moon and Venus occur. The two sets of encounters tend to confirm the two-day calendar. Earth's rotation is slowed to give a strong impression of the whole action being frozen during the dramatic crisis, when Mars, Moon, Venus (and Earth) are all lined up (in perilous conjunction). Mercury and Apollo, with Earth, join the scene at this point, as archetypical memories from earlier crises being forced ...
