... evidence in Part II. Here in Part I we focus attention on the XIIth Dynasty. This dynasty seems to have been one of the strongest and most prosperous periods of Egypt's history. It also provides the currently accepted Egyptian chronology with one of its sheet-anchors. Dynasty XII is currently dated according to the conventional understanding of Egypt's "Sothic" calendar. According to W. C. HAYES, in the 7th year of Sesostris (or Senwosret) III, the 5th ruler of that dynasty, "a heliacal rising of the star Sothis was recorded on 16.viii of the 365-day civil calendar, a fact which .. . allows the year in question to be placed between ...
202. Emperor Yahou, Part 1 Venus Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... emperor sent scholars to different parts of China, and even to Indo-China, to find out the location of north, west, east, and south by observing the direction of the sun's rising and setting and the motion of the stars. He also charged his astronomers to find out the duration of seasons, and to draw up a new calendar. The Shu King is called the oldest book of Chinese chronicles, rewritten from memory or from some hidden manuscript after the burning of books by Tsin-chi-hoang. In its oldest section, the canon of Yaou [Yahou], it is written: "Thereupon Yaou [Yahou] commanded He and Ho, in reverent accordance with the wide ...
203. Tisserand and a Trojan to the Rescue [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... quote from Black Athena was completely lost on Patten and Hatch: "The fact that phenomena can be easily imagined has nothing to do with the likelihood of their actual occurrence." The following list presents my main points of contention with Patten and Hatch which are elaborated in the balance of the text: Patten cites no evidence of a 361-day calendar to support a 361-day year. Patten does not show that Mars' orbit could be circularized in 300 years; he only asserts it. Mars also being a Venus crosser in the Catastrophic Era destroys the essential 2:1 Earth-Mars resonance. Contrary to what Patten says, the orbits of asteroids in resonance with Jupiter are not necessarily perpendicular ...
204. Anno Domini Anomalies [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... have wished to eradicate the year 540 event from history so the unknown monk disguised it – with the symbolism associated with the number 33. In other words, the rebirth/resurrection motif really belonged to 540, an expectation of the second coming' driven by a reappearance of Arthur's likeness in the sky. There is some indication the Christian calendar years were married into an older Jewish chronology that was used ostensibly to determine exactly when Jesus was born – or so it has been argued. The Jews used different dating systems, according to Benny Peiser [4 ] (see C&C Review 2002:2 , page 33) .. . A system calculated from a base ...
205. Fingerprints of the Gods: do ancient relicts point to an advanced civilisation 15,000 years ago? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... people whom archaeologists call the Olmecs. We know very little about the Olmecs. Olmec means rubber people and that is how they were referred to by the Aztecs and they come from a rubber producing area of the Gulf of Mexico. All that we are left with are certain stone artefacts and compelling evidence that these people used a highly advanced calendar which was later inherited by the Maya. It is curious to see this African representation, this rather strange similarity, between the head of the Sphinx and these so-called Olmec heads (which can weigh up to 60 tons each). Of course African people are not supposed to have been present in the New World until the time of ...
206. Chapter VIII: the Earliest Solar Shrines in Egypt [Books]
... is required to explain it. I say this advisedly, although I know creed can go a great way, because among these early peoples their astronomy was chiefly a means to an end. It was not a story of abstract conceptions, or the mere expression of interesting facts whether used for religious purposes or not. The end was a calendar, of festivals and holydays if you will, but a calendar which would allow their tillage and harvest to prosper. Now, it is almost impossible to suppose that those who worshipped the sun at the solstice did not begin the year at the solstice. It is, of course, equally difficult to believe that those who preferred to ...
207. Enheduanna and the Goddess Inanna [Journals] [SIS Review]
... , pp. 4-6. 59. Thornhill: op. cit. 60. C. Leroy Ellenberger: Celestial Hazard vs. Celestial Fantasy', C & C Review XIII (1992), pp. 41-44 and especially his remarks on p. 42: the difficulties attendant on a comet Venus' hypothesis are very considerable! Appendix: Calendars and a 2200 BC Event If a major catastrophe of extra-terrestrial causation had occurred during historical times, one would expect to see evidence of subsequent alterations to the calendar. If the orbit of Earth had been sufficiently perturbed then the solar year' would be affected, and if the orbit of the Moon was disturbed then lunar months might have ...
208. The Date Of The Loss Of Atlantis (The Atlantis Myth) [Books]
... will investigate the various unknowns, and calculate the probable position of Luna relative to the Earth at its capture, the possible critical distance, and the approximate time which may have elapsed since then. Though direct help from astronomers is still lacking, valuable indirect assistance comes from certain calendarial peculiarities which must have been based on astronomical observations. Usually calendar systems are not supposed to be very `old', that is, they are thought to have been evolved in `historical' times, not in the dim prehistoric ages. However, since the interpretation of an immeasurably ancient calendar system which I published in 194373 has remained without opposition, I may perhaps venture forth with the following ...
209. The Bible as History? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... on p. 78) a number of chronological notices which are multiples of 5 years, starting in year 5 with Shishak's attack on Jerusalem (Year 5 of Rehoboam). This may indicate that the exilic Priestly chronologist inherited a pre-schematic synchronistic history either from the Schism or from David's accession. Central to Hughes's reconstruction is his detailed work on calendars and dating systems. Since the arguments are complex and he is particularly thorough in his evaluation, no attempt at a summary will be made here. Hughes finds (p . 81ff) no less than three different dating systems in the current texts of Kings, one of which is actually incompatible with Deuteronomistic chronological schematism. ' This is ...
210. Spectres [Books] [de Grazia books]
... there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate day from night; let them serve as signs and for the fixing of seasons, days and years." Whereupon the Sun and Moon were placed in the sky. I would suppose that the Moon, after terrorizing humanity by its assemblage and irregularity, promptly became the basis for calendars everywhere, once it began to obey the laws of Kronos (Chronos or Time). Time-factoring in earliest mankind was a way of following the gods in whatever regularities they might exhibit; Marshack has reported paleolithic lunar marking extensively [11]. Possibly because the Sun never destroyed the world, it would therefore be considered unsuitable for a ...
