... Yahou sent astronomers to the Valley of Obscurity and to the Sombre Residence to observe the new movements of the sun and of the moon and the syzygies or the orbital points of the conjunctions, also "to investigate and to inform the people of the order of the seasons."(4 ) It is also said that Yahou introduced a calendar reform: he brought the seasons into accord with the observations; he did the same with the months; and he "corrected the days."(5 ) Plutarch gives the following description of a derangement of seasons: "The thickened air concealed the heaven from view, and the stars were confused with a disorderly huddle of fire ...

... normally make a clear statement of their articles of faith, science introduces its assumptions more surreptitiously. B. Alan Wallace, "Choosing Reality"- VELIKOVSKY'S COMET VENUS (9 ) By David Talbott (dtalbott@teleport.com) [EDITOR'S NOTE: This continues Talbott's series of articles on the myth of the comet Venus.] 52-YEAR CALENDAR ROUND Across Mesoamerica, the combination of two calendars, the solar or seasonal calendar and the 260-day ritual calendar, produced an extended sequence of sacred time, in which the two calendars concluded on the same day only once every 52 solar years- a cosmic cycle of extreme import. This 52-year cycle the Maya called the Calendar Round and the ...
83. Conventional Chronologists: Sothic or So Thick? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... shortly before sunrise .. . this latter event, described by modern astronomers as the heliacal rising of Sirius, and by the going up of Sirius', came to be regarded as the true New Year's Day (f-wpt-rnpt), the day with which first month of Inundation (the first season), day one' of the civil calendar ought always to have coincided. We have it on the authority of Censorinus that heliacal rising and civil New Year's Day did so coincide in AD139, and thence it is calculated that similar coincidences must have occurred in 1317 and 2773BC'. Thus speaks the Oracle - and for pure corporate speculation, it takes the biscuit. However my ...

He has published two books: Aristotle's Syllogistic (1969) and Sun, Moon, and Soth is: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt (1999). He is also the author of numerous articles on Greek philosophy. ancient calendars and archaeoastronomy. Summary A more careful reading of the Canopus Decree enables us to retrocalculate Sothic dates much more precisely than ever before. Middle Kingdom lunar documents fail to fit in the second millennium but they do ...
85. The Sothic Dating of the Twelfth and Eighteenth Dynasties [Journals] [Kronos]
... palaeographic evidence is too dubious to serve as the decisive factor in the acceptance of such an important date, and his own conclusion, as we have seen, is that it is "subject to serious doubt". I do not, of course, agree with Long, since some years ago, in a study of the various Egyptian calendars, I attempted to fix the date of the Twelfth Dynasty by combining Edgerton's calculated date for the seventh year of Sesostris III as 1870 BC ca. 6 years with the dates of certain lunar events as given in the civil calendar for the reigns of both Sesostris III and Amenemhet III.(9 ) All the data I could assemble ...
86. The Aubrey Holes of Stonehenge (Concluded) [Journals] [Kronos]
... such a correspondence. My suggestion evoked no comment but I see now, in a more recent article, that the 28 spokes of the Big Horn Medicine Wheel, as it is called, and the 56 Aubrey holes of Stonehenge are being connected.(29) I also notice that Stonehenge is now openly being referred to as a solar calendar although it was not very long ago that this designation was being shunned.(30) On a different front, Professor Barry Fell is a member of a new breed of scholars who have recently been pushing an old idea to the forefront of public notice. This is the idea of European contact with the continent of America long before ...
87. Letter [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop No. 6 (June 1979) Home | Issue Contents Letter Sir, At first sight, Mike Rowland s thoughts on the Roman Calendar do appear to be a little jumbled. (See WORKSHOP No. 3, p.10 for original article and also letters in WORKSHOP No. 4 and 5 criticising the article - Ed.) The "Year of Confusion" was initiated by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C . as a period of adjustment between the old system and his new Julian calendar. January and February had been added to the calendar at a much earlier date - by Numa, the successor of Romulus (7th century B. ...
... and after a time while this misrepresentation circulated it was finally corrected in Broca's Brain. However, many readers of the first book which is still in circulation will be confronted by this disinformation. Sagan in Broca's Brain only, next introduces new criticism, saying that, "Velikovsky offers no justification in physics for this" 18 change in the calendar. However, a few lines down the page Sagan adds the justification in physics stating, "Velikovsky proposes that these aberrant calendrical conventions reflect real changes in the length of the day, month, and/or year-and that they are evidence of close approaches to the Earth-Moon system by comets, planets and other celestial visitors." 19 ...
89. Open Forum, chaired by David Fairbairn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Now I know you're going to disagree with me but that mathematics is what I cling to. Eugen Gabowitsch: History is not mathematics, it's a model of the past. . . Eric Aitchison: History is dependent on occurrences; occurrences happen in time; time passes and time is measurable. Eugen Gabowitsch: You can create a calendar and retrocalculate for thousands of years, using today's calendar . . . Eric Aitchison: It can only go back to 641 for the Muslim calendar and it can't go back past 700 BC for any other calculations because we think that's when the last cosmic upheaval occurred according to Velikovsky. Janek Pietron: The calendar was changed in the 14th ...
90. A Calendric View Of Stonehenge [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. VIII No. 2 (Winter 1983) Home | Issue Contents A Calendric View Of Stonehenge Alban Wall Copyright (c ) 1982 by Alban Wall In an earlier paper,(1 ) I presented evidence indicating that the Aubrey circle of holes at Stonehenge was designed to be used as a solar calendar. The present article can be considered an extension of that hypothesis which is here made to include the remaining components of the structure. It will be shown that the functional correlation of these remaining components, in conjunction with the previously discussed Aubrey Circle, combine to form an amazing and sophisticated calendrical device which is more accurate in its basic simplicity than anything ...
