... Sea Scroll (War of the Sons of Light and Darkness) present the comet as a sign of the Last Days- all of which sounds very much like the Aztec's comet-like plumed serpent presiding over the end of one world age and beginning of another. Consider, for example, why it is that the comet soars into prominence as our own calendar approaches a "critical moment," at the end of a millennium. (Yes, it seems that round numbers and "critical moments" go hand in hand, fed by the sense of cyclical time and the global myth of a world age ending in sweeping catastrophe.) Mary Proctor tells us that as the year 1000 approached ...
522. Notes (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... , was called the `fertile morning land', and the river by which it was watered, the `fair-flowing chief one'. Note 72. Interested readers are referred to my book, Built Before the Flood, which deals with many of the surprising aspects of the high culture of the Tiahuanacans, especially their architecture and their astounding calendar. Note 73. Cf. Chapter 10, `The Calendar of Kalasasaya', in my book, Built Before the Flood Interpretations by Posnansky, Kiss, Bellamy, and Ashton. Note 74. As has been pointed out before, Palaeo-Egypt, having a small and probably sparsely settled seaboard on a remote inland sea, did not ...
... ocean's tides, the result is the same in the end. Without a doubt many islands in this area were drowned, some temporarily, others at a lower level permanently, whence arose the legend of the lost or drowned seven Pleiades Islands (or Atlantic Islands), subsequently placed with other famous landmarks by the subsequent Iconstructors of the revised calendar and included as a constellation In regard to this constellation I would remind the reader again that it was related to the tremendous episode of Phaeton's "escapade," when he was hurled into the river Eridanus, an episode that I have suggested previously was identical with the Flood of Deucalion as that was with the Flood of Noah, also ...
524. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Scandinavia as well as in the English-speaking countries, I hope someone will be able to come up with some more facts about Hertzmann, or even the manuscripts of Fjellner (which are apparently lost). R.Forshufvud, Karlskoga, Sweden Time-keeping and Earth Revolutions Dear Sir, Mr Montgomery Hennegin takes me to task for claiming that a lunar calendar was an essentially practical one in ancient days (letter, WORKSHOP 5:2 , p.32). I am all for criticism but I am unrepentant on this subject! One has to bear in mind that there was no such thing as a printed calendar in ancient days. Were modern printers finally to go on permanent strike ...
525. Science, Technology and the Chronology of the Ancient World [Journals] [Aeon]
... in sequence, except on three occasions (the Intermediate Periods) when different dynasties ruled in parallel. The outcome was essentially a relative chronology, albeit a coherent one which allowed approximate dates to be deduced. However, rightly or wrongly, an attempt was made to anchor this chronology more precisely to absolute dates by linking it to a Sothic calendar, based on observations of the heliacal rising of Sirius, which has a cycle of about 1460 years. In particular, on the basis of written information about the heliacal rising of Sirius, the 7th year of Senusret (Sesostris) III of the 12th Dynasty was dated as 1872 BC and the 9th year of Amenhotep I of the ...
526. Science Frontiers 1977-1978 [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... made by feet shorter and wider than those of modern humans; but the big toe definitely points forward and is not splayed as in apes. (Anonymous; "Footprints in the Sands of Time", New Scientist, 77:483, 1978). STONE ALIGNMENTS IN AFRICA Megalithic sites are found everywhere; many were apparently used for calendar reckoning. Although numerous megalithic circles and other arrangements are known in Africa, particularly Ethiopia, astronomy does not seem to have been a primary objective of African sites. Now, however, a stone alignment in northwestern Kenya called Namoratunga has been found with unmistakable astronomical overtones. At Namoratunga, 19 large basalt pillars are arranged in rows forming ...
... are the remains of two far smaller ones, the larger, according to Bowles, once containing 30 monoliths, the length of a month, and the lesser twelve immense stones to denote the months, thus making a 360-day year. He was of opinion that five other stones were added later like the five intercalary days of the ancient Egyptian calendar, when the year expanded to 365 days. Bowles applied to this monument certain striking words of the prophet Isaiah: "To whom will ye then liken God? Or what likeness will ye compare unto him? . . . Have ye not known? Have ye not heard? Hath it not been told you from the beginning? ...
528. Letters [Journals] [SIS Review]
... The author looked for an explanation: what happened on February 21st during the reign of Ramesses II? Now, according to Velikovsky (Worlds in Collision, II, i: "The Year - 747"), there was a new series of cosmic upheavals starting about the middle of the 8th century BC. In 747 BC a new calendar was introduced into the Middle East beginning with the "era of Nabonassai', which started on the 26th day of February. The Bible refers to the upheaval which caused this calendrical change as the "raash in the days of Uzziah", who ruled at that time in Judah. Could it be that the temple at Abu Simbel ...

... conclusions of Velikovsky's later books. "The Astronomical basis of Egyptian Chronology" by Dr A. E. Roy, analyses the "meagre grounds" which served as a foundation for the "absolute" dating of the Egyptian pharaohs by means of astronomically determined "Sothic dates", and goes on to suggest that Velikovsky's case that the Egyptian calendar was tied to the synodic period of Venus, rather than the heliacal risings of Sirius, is a plausible one which merits serious consideration. Dr MacKie's examination of "Radiocarbon Dating and Egyptian Chronology" concludes that though the present results tend to favour the conventional chronology, the element of uncertainty which underlies the method precludes firm conclusions on this ...
530. Temple, Crown, Vase, Eye, and Circular Serpent [Books]
... . Thus the Greeks placed in the hands of Chronos a snake which formed a ring by holding its tail in its mouth, (150) and this circular serpent is clearly that which the Hindus called Kali (" Time"). The Zoroastrians represented Zurvan (" Time") by an enclosing serpent. A serpent encircles a Nahuatl calendar wheel (wheel of time) published by Clavigero. (151) On the famous Mexican calendar stone twin serpents form a single enclosure around the stone. (152) The Egyptians associated the circular serpent with Atum (god of Time), identifying the serpent with the cosmic waters erupting from the creator: "I am the outflow ...
