... C .) towards the meridian tells the same story: the geographical location of the poles cannot have changed during the last 4.5 thousand years at least. The most important of the megalithic sites for our purpose are those claimed to be solar, since we may be sure that accurate observations of the Sun were essential if an exact calendar was required. The yearly cycle of movements of the Sun is also the most obvious sign of the passing seasons and of the stability of the heavens. The only way the length of the year can be measured exactly is by determining the time of the solstices - that is, by defining the place on the horizon where the position ...
192. In Defence of Higher Chronologies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... did know about the Sun-Moon octaeteris; from this he infers that they (or their definitive texts) must be lowered to the 6th century or later. Elsewhere, he continues to claim that there is knowledge about astronomical information at various places in the Homeric epics that cannot be earlier than the 6th century BC (e .g . the calendar cycles) ' [42]. The calendar cycles' he has in mind turn out to be the Sun-Moon octaeteris. He claims that the Sun-Venus octaeteris is so simple' that it presumably could have been recognised at almost any time; it is only the Sun-Moon octaeteris that uses a highly complicated mathematical system of intercalations' which had ...

... along with the evidence of old maps which indicate an ice-free Antarctica, and concluded that this physical evidence, along with most sky imagery, points to Earth having previously had an obliquity of 0 . Pietron also gave us a detailed assessment of the former roles and relationship of the planets Venus and Jupiter and even touched on the subject of Mayan calendars and large discrepancies in world wide datings. He clearly gave his audience much to think about and we hope to be able to properly assess his work with a detailed article in the future. Emmett Sweeney then entertained us with what appeared initially to be an off the cuff presentation of his thoughts about a connection between Stonehenge and King Arthur ...
194. "Nemesis" -- A New Idea as Old as the Bible? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... [l ] There, a "Day of the Lord Brahma" (a kalpa) was defined as an eon comprising 12 million Divine Years (devas); each Divine Year equalled 360 Earth Years. Thus, a Day of the Lord Brahma equalled 4,320,000,000 Earth Years. A study of the Hindu celestial calendar by the eleventh-century Arab mathematician Abu Rayhan al-Biruni[2 ] brought out the additional information that a kalpa consisted of 1000 cycles called caturyugas. One could thus paraphrase the Hindu celestial calendar as stating that in the eyes of the Lord Brahma a thousand cycles are but a single day. This brings to mind the Psalmist's statement regarding the Divine ...

... be found in the time warp' he says I'm caught in. At the close, Palmer calls for more rational arguments' for catastrophist views. I myself would appeal for more rational reviews' of catastrophists' works - preferably more objective, accurate and sans the sarcasm.. James E. Strickling, Duluth, GA, USA Mayan Calendar of 365 Days As expected, Michael G. Reade questions my theory that the Maya left evidence of a year of 365 days (C &CR 1996:2 , p. 59). When I saw him drive through the gate at Braziers I knew that if my theory had a fault he would find it. I took ...
196. The Cyclic Nature of Ancient Catastrophes [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Jupiter and Saturn, and the orbital resonance which characterized the ancient orbits of Earth and Mars with Jupiter and Saturn. This will be explained subsequently. Implicit in this paper is the concept that the Earth, as a large gyroscope in space, also experienced spin axis precession; this too will be mentioned later. The Model 1. The Calendaric Dates, March 21 and October 25. In our research we have found that calendaric dates are indicated on three occasions with specificity: The Sodom-Gomorrah catastrophe, circa 1877 B.C .2 The Exodus catastrophe, circa 1447 B.C .3 ,4 The Isaiahic catastrophe, circa 701 B.C .5 ,6 If ...
197. The Cycle of 320 Days [Journals] [Aeon]
... of Tefibi is illustrated with 32 columns for periods of 10 days each, [27] totaling a year of 320 days. In the era of Dynasties 9 to 12 inclusive, Dynasties 11, 12, and 13 constituting the Middle Kingdom, the coffin lids of some notables were painted with diagrammatic scenes of nightly shifting stars. In these calendars, there were generally 36 columns representing 36 periods of 10 days each. [28] Extra columns at the end to the left are interpreted as indicating intercalary or epagomenal days. [29] The 12 horizontal rows in the diagram represent 12 periods of 10 days each, totaling 120 days, through which the noted stars, or ...

... so confused that I'll start at the end. He says: "If one allows for pre-Exodus events' then almost certainly the Maya [Venus] cycle would date from the post-Exodus period, and the Israelite jubilee (if it does represent a Venus cycle) would reflect a pre-Exodus period." A). The Maya ran four "calendars" at the same time: a 365 day solar year calendar; a 260 day ritual year calendar; a 584 day Venus "year" calendar; and a lunar calendar. Then every so often, they would adjust for cumulative errors because the solar year was almost 365.25 days, the Lunar period was not exact and ...

(d ) Migrations of peoples, which will be shown in the archaeological stratigraphy by the appearance of new industries. (e ) Calendric changes, which will be performed by the new occupants of the sites to adjust the calendar to the new astronomical conditions. (f ) Historical traditions and records, which, in a more or less mythical form, will recount the terrible experiences through which the peoples have lived. Some of the records are particularly clear and precise on the subject. The above points, which only summarize in a general way the physical and ...
