... flybys. Energy can change its form such as from velocity to heat or spin axis torques. But energy never appears as if by on the magic; also it never disappears by magic. This is Newtonian science. The other ancient Roman "feariday" (not holiday) was on October 24, which was Marchesvan 17, ancient Tishri calendar, widely used in the Near East. This day in October almost coincides with the solemn Hebrew day of atonement. It was cited as the onset day of Noah's Flood (Genesis 7). In later Hebrew times, October 24 (Tishri 17) reportedly was a dangerous day.4 Celtic Halloween themes repeat this same theme for ...
182. Did Thutmose III Despoil the Temple in Jerusalem? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... when Dynasty XII ended would be to cast adrift from our only firm anchor, a course that would have serious consequences for the history, not of Egypt alone, but of the entire Middle East," writes Gardiner, when dealing with "the difficult topic of chronology" (10). The scheme commonly applied is that of a calendar tied to the fixed star called Spdt in Egyptian, Sothis in Greek, and Sirius by the Romans - the English "Dog star" . The star becomes visible in Egypt about the time when the Nile begins to rise - the most important event for a country the productivity of whose fields depended on the annual Nile Flood. After ...
183. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... been concerned for more than a score of years. This book contended that the cataclysm described in the Old Testament as universal Deluge was caused by the impact of a comet at the end of the third millennium B.C ., and that up to the Deluge the solar year had the duration of 360 days only, yet the new calendar of 365 days had to wait to be introduced by Nabonassar (in 747 B.C .) . These contentions were based mainly on historical evidence, whereas astronomical considerations were the main ground for suggesting that comets may become planets: Yet comets by passing through the planetary regions in all planets and directions... seem fit to ...

... 1947 onwards: a story which most people are aware of in general outline. We were reminded that the Essene community at Qumran was very different in its form of worship from the rest of the country and was a community of monastic. ascetic, extremely devout Jews who abhorred the practices in the Temple in Jerusalem. They used a solar calendar. not the lunar calendar which was normal practice then and their sectarian books relate to a much earlier period than the 150 BC - 68 AD time span of the Qumran occupation. In some of the scrolls. which were clearly written within that space of time. the word for God is written in a form which dates from a ...
185. Velikovsky's Sources Volume One [Books]
... temples of Thebes were like marshes. ' Amun was brought forth from the temple in his sacred barque, and the priests prayed that he might abate the flood." However, on WIC p.2O5, V writes of this flood : " That it was not a seasonal inundation of the Nile is clear from the date. This calendar date for the high level of inundation does not at all correspond to the place of the calendar in the seasons." V has got this quote from one of Breasted's footnotes to the flood inscription. The apparent contradiction with what has just been said is explained by reading the footnote in full, rather than V's edited version of it ...

187. The Myth of Osiris (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... very complicated; apparently a great number of strands, some of them surely of extreme antiquity, others evidently of late date, have been woven together into a fabric almost impossible to unravel. The most important thing which we can learn from this myth is that owing to the consequences of an intrigue between the Earth and the starry Night-Sky the calendar system had to be changed, and that it was Thoth, the Measurer', a lunar deity, who caused this alteration to be made. The alteration itself amounted to a reconciliation of the artificial year of 360days (twelve subdivisions of 30 days each) with the solar year of 365 days (neglecting the 5" 48' ...
... for he was cut into fourteen pieces, the number of days of the waning moon. Now we can easily understand an evolution beginning with a Moon-god and ending with a Sun-god. But the contrary is almost unthinkable, besides, we know that in Egypt it did not happen; the solar attributes got hardened as time went on. The calendar evidence, as we have seen, in relation to the original year of 360 days is in favour of Moon worship, and therefore of a Moon-god in the earliest times. The winged solar disk Further, if we accept this, the myth of Horus becomes a complete historical statement, of which parts have already been shown to refer ...

... theory from places as far afield as Iran and India. A paper by Illig in 1991 revealed that, as well known to conventional biblical scholars, many early church documents (most surviving documents from that period have a religious origin) are known to be falsified and have therefore probably been misinterpreted. The theory is also supported by the 1582 calendar reform by Pope Gregory XIII. The Gregorian calendar' was needed to correct a small error in the Julian calendar, which fell behind true solar time by a little less than a day per century. As there were 16 centuries between Pope Gregory and Julius Caesar, it should have been necessary to add about 13 days to adjust for ...
190. The Riddle of the Earth [Books]
... As to the first the Poles have shifted from a direction which 1 fancy lay before somewhere about the neighbourhood of Kamschatka; the Arctic circles have increased their areas considerably as a result of the added obliquity as we know from many indications ; and as to the earth's orbit we have, since civilised man lived on the earth and possessed the calendar, added five days to the year. Formerly the year consisted of 360 days, now it is 365 days odd, and if any one estimating the total weight of our globe takes one-seventy-third of it he will be perhaps able to ascertain the added weight of this enormous series of deposits belonging to the last or Tertiary Stage of the ...
