... archaeological sites at least, to make it clear that there were widespread cultural changes in Europe and the Mediterranean world, and possibly further afield, at at least one point in the third millennium BC. The dates actually cluster around the 20th century bc in radiocarbon years, but should be equivalent to about the 25th or 26th century BC in calendar years if the Suess tree-ring calibration is approximately correct [2 ]. Nevertheless, there are several problems in using C14 dates in this way, and it may be that we shall never be really sure from this evidence alone, whether a set of changes were truly synchronous - in the sense of having occurred within a few weeks or ...
152. The Reliability of Biblical Synchronisms in Constructing an Historical Chronology from Rehoboam to Hezekiah [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Seth (Genesis 5:3 ) is calculated 46,026 days from the beginning' (6 days+ 130 years x 354 days) which is 7.1 .131 lunar', 7.2 .127 solar' or 6.1 .127 standard'. Stenring has computed all the biblical data to determine on which calendar the date has been expressed. It can then be recomputed into standard' years which are equivalent to Julian years used by historians and astronomers. Larsson [15] has analysed Stenring's findings. He does not share Thiele's view that biblical synchronisms have survived from contemporary records. He points out that the earliest reference to a standard' calendar ...
153. Venus And Sirius [Journals] [Kronos]
... the beginning of the new year; the hieratic and hieroglyphic versions, however, assign the same role to Sothis, or Sirius.(1 ) Velikovsky, on the authority of Pliny,(2 ) identifies the star of Isis as the planet Venus(3 ) and explains that both Venus and Sirius had a role in the Egyptian calendar, the real purpose of the Decree being to make the calendar independent of Venus. Egyptologists generally consider both "star of Isis" and "Sothis" to refer to Sirius. Of the arguments put forward by Velikovsky against this interpretation, I consider the strongest to be the fact that a calendar based on a fixed star would not ...
154. The Blind Pharaoh [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... and the foundation of the dynasty to 745. The reasons for these dates are nowhere to be located in his book, or anywhere else. Apparently it never obtruded on Professor Wilson's meditation of the black dynasties of Egypt that the Ethiopian triumph over the empire may have been related to the cosmic calamity which induced the creation of the new Oriental calendar based on the "era of Nabonassar," the emperor of Assyria. The era started in -747, and Ptolemy of Alexander considered this year the first precisely dated in the history of antiquity. "It is from that moment that the records of eclipses begin which Ptolemy used."[8 ] The weightily erudite German Hugo Winckler ...
155. The Venus Tablets and Climate [Journals] [SIS Review]
... part of the Babylonian scribes, and have displayed considerable ingenuity in explaining how the mistakes' have arisen. Others took the data at its face value and explained it as evidence for some catastrophic astronomical accident. But the simplest explanation is to assume that they originated during the Kassite period. The Venus sequence beginning -1701 repeats itself on the Julian calendar after -1482, but the relationship between Venus and the Moon is slightly different. Thus, if one transplants a set of setting and rising dates from the later to the earlier solution, even though the length of the invisibility period is the same, the Kassite interval is likely to be displaced in relation to its Old Babylonian equivalent. ...

157. Megalithic Astronomy and Catastrophism [Journals] [Pensee]
... optical instruments and without accurately built masonry constructions. It is convenient first to concentrate on the problem of tracking the yearly movement of the Sun, because the only way that the exact number of days in the year can be determined is by discovering the actual days of midsummer and midwinter. This knowledge can then be used to construct a precise calendar, the possession of which is surely essential for any more advanced astronomical work. Finding the time of the solstices under these conditions is, as we shall see, an extremely difficult task. Elementary Astronomy At the present time the Earth's axis is tilted 23 27' 8.3 " away from a line perpendicular to the plane of ...

... run from the accession of Nabonidus in 747 BC to the destruction date of Sennacherib's army in 687 BC. However, I believe the reliance on a catastrophic period of 60 years is wrong and thus too the inferred 15 year Martian cycle. Roger Ashton and myself, in a series of articles in Aeon, have drawn attention to various ancient calendars that posit a synchronicity of orbital relationships between Earth, Venus and Mars. Whilst it can be demonstrated that the current orbits of Earth and Mars indicate a synodic relationship every 15 years (thus sixty years also), there is no corresponding relationship involving Venus. The current Venus cycle demands an eight-year phase, something that is non-existent in ...
160. Pallas Athene, Part 1 Venus Ch.9 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... The bull-and the cow, the goat and the serpent, were animals dedicated to Athene. "The goat being usually tabooed but chosen as an exceptional victim for her," the animal was annually sacrificed on the Acropolis of Athens.(22) With the Israelites the goat was the victim for Azazel, or Lucifer. In the Babylonian calendar "the nineteenth day of all months is marked day of wrath' of goddess Gula (Ishtar). No work was done. Weeping and lamentation filled the land. . . . Any explanation of dies irae of Babylonia must be sought in some myth concerning the nineteenth of the first month. Why should the nineteenth day after the ...
