... prophecies of paradise are offered at face value as the most urgent and persistent message of our remote ancestors. Memories and Visions of Paradise is at once a restatement of mankind's earliest utterances, and a revelation of the most powerful collective subconscious drives at work in our modern world. Available in quality-stitched softcover. The Amazing, astonishingly accurate Stonehenge Lunar-Solar Calendar Now you not only can learn the purpose of the mysterious ancient stone structure in southwestern England, but you will be able to demonstrate to your own satisfaction that the monument was an operational calendar that correlated lunar months with solar years over the 19-year period of the Metonic cycle. Printed on green 10" bt 14 ½" parchtext paper ...
162. Greek Estimates of the Synodic Month [Journals] [Kronos]
... much later was the following new moon. In a few years one could arrive at a good datum for the length of lunar month. It is true that in marking the date of new moons there was a constant danger of erring by a day, but in the long run these errors would even out and the very development of luni-solar calendars would call the errors to attention. Several cultures adopted independently the Metonic calendar, because calendars were used not only to regulate political and economic activities, but also to record the occurrence of eclipses. The date of eclipses was not a matter of mere scientific interest and the ability to predict them had great social value. With the Metonic ...
163. The Identification of the Biblical "Queen of Sheba" with Hatshepsut, "Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia"" [Journals] [Kronos]
... part of those of the XVIIIth Dynasty- including dates for Hatshepsut and Thutmose III- have asterisks added to them to show that they "are astronomically fixed".(7 ) But the problem continued to haunt scientists. Weill (1926) was followed by Neugebauer (1938), who published an important and provocative study of the Egyptian calendar,(8 ) and Winlock (1940), who seriously doubted the validity of the Sothic theory. "The ancient Egyptians, from the Old Kingdom to the Roman period, have not left a single trace of such a fixed calendar. Out of the thousands which have survived from dynastic Egypt not one document gives equivalent dates in ...

... also expect the training period to be 90 days in light of the 90 days allowed for superior conjunction invisibility in the astronomical records. But even in modern times we have 90-day training periods during the Civil War and World War II. Alban Wall's article "The Stonehenge: What is it?" explains how the Stonehenge was used as a calendar, including the phases of the Moon. This reminded me that not too long ago, our own calendars also included phases of the Moon, and of the old tradition of planting by the Moon. Then it occurred to me that the calendar used by Grandfather's grandfather did not hang on the kitchen wall. Rather, it hung in ...
165. When The Comet Fell Ch.11 (The Riddle of the Earth) [Books]
... a seismic disturbance of the bed of the ocean or to a vast increase in the water, the result comes to the same thing. Undoubtedly many islands in this area were submerged, some temporarily, others permanently, whence it would seem the origin of the tradition of the lost Pleiades or Atlantic Islands which the subsequent makers of the new calendar placed as a group of stars in the sky, as they did also the River Eridanus, to immortalise the event. 183. A feature of this tremendous impact was its patchiness. While Lancashire, Cumberland, Wales, and across in Ireland, in a direction southwest, was plentifully visited, the Isle of Man escaped except for ...

... able to calculate near absolute star dates' for for Sesostris (III) and two 18th Dynasty' kings. However, Censorinus in Die Di Natale' made it quite clear, citing Varro (another respected Roman scholar) as authority, that nothing was known of mankind's history before around 1600 BC. Yet Censorinus described reforms in the Egyptian calendar leading to a 365 day calendar and gave the names of the kings in whose reigns the various reforms were made. Obviously, he was talking about calendar reforms made after 1600 BC, since otherwise his statement about the lack of knowledge of mankind's history before 1600 BC would make no sense. Hence, read in context, Censorinus refutes ...
168. John Bossy, "Giordano Bruno and the Embassy Affair" [Journals] [Aeon]
... anti-Aristotelian activities of Bruno- perhaps revealed by higher criticism- the reverberant echoes of Bruno's trial amended and refined the inquisitorial approach just a few decades later when Galileo confronted the prelates with a similar philosophical problem backed by hard evidence. It was still an enigmatic age of bewilderment and uncertainty. As a first priority, Bossy addresses the problem of calendar reform as it affects the closely-approximate dating of historical events between Catholic and Protestant states. Gregory XIII instituted the Clavius-Lilius reform correcting the Julian calendar, which went into effect in Italy after October 15, 1582, and in France the following December, while other Catholic states initiated the reform in October of 1583. England itself did not acquiesce ...

GEOMETRY - AND CALENDARS To the Editor of KRONOS: In a letter submitted originally at the beginning of 1982,I pointed out to Lynn E. Rose that however the information is derived, knowing the latitude of only a single point on the Earth's surface (other than one of the poles) is not sufficient to determine the location of the north geographic ...

... . He claimed that Mewhinney took most of his references out-of-context, especially when referring to Charles' own works, where Mewhinney would often quote an ambiguous statement about the maps in isolation from as many as five supportive statements that accompanied Mewhinney's quotes. Saturday morning, Nancy Owen tried- with some success- to teach us how to read Mayan calendars. She passed out copies of 5 pages from the Dresden Codex. The fifth page was a picture- a dragon across the top, hanging down on the left, breathing fire. The signs for Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter were spread across the top. Beneath the dragon was a Medusa-headed women pouring liquid from an urn ...
