... intended to represent the outer limits of the true historical date. If the error margin is doubled to two standard deviations, then the chances increase to 95.45 percent (20 in 21) that the reported date lies within the doubled error range of being the true experimental value. CONVENTIONAL CHRONOLOGY OF PHARAONIC EGYPT (Adapted from "The Calendars and Chronology" by Richard A. Parker in The Legacy of Egypt, Second Edition, edited by J. R. Harris, Oxford University Press, 1971, pp. 24-25.) PROTODYNASTIC PERIOD: 3110-2665 B.C .

232. Chapter I: The Worship of the Sun and the Dawn [Books]
... but that at one period one stagee was more developed than another, and so on. For instance, in the first stage, wonder and worship were the prevalent features; in the second, there was the need of applying the observation of celestial phenomena in two directions, one the direction of utility- such as the formation of a calendar and the foundation of years and months; and the other the astrological direction. Supplied as we moderns are with the results of astronomical observation in the shape of almanacs, pocket-books, and the like, it is always difficult, and for most people quite impossible, to put ourselves in the place and realise the conditions of a race ...
233. Nine Spheres of Venusian Effects [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , intensive, large-scale changes, and contrast with evolutionary changes which are, as they say, drop-by-drop and point-by-point. The time, about 3500 years ago, was that of Exodus. The catastrophe of the Exodus is described in detail in God's Fire and Ages in Chaos. I. We begin with astronomy and physics. We speak of calendars, reports of sky bodies in action, legends of the gods, sky-struck human behavior of the period. We say of the Astrosphere: "No available record of astronomical events from anywhere presents astral, planetary, or solar movements as unchanged or uniformly changing from before that time to afterwards." When Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision appeared in ...
234. Vox Populi [Journals] [Aeon]
... the honesty with which beliefs are expressed is rare in science. This is science with a human face. Both personalities emerge and add to an understanding of the issues at stake. Mars and Uranus Frederic B. Jueneman, from Newark, California, writes: In relation to Eric Aitchison's piece on calendrics- "Historical Day Cycles and Ancient Calendars"- in AEON VI:2 , I might point out that at the 1980 Symposium in San Jose the question was raised during an informal colloquium as to the provenance of the Mayan 260-day calendar. I there suggested that the 780-day synodic period of Earth-Mars was the trine of this period, and that perhaps the Maya had a much ...
235. "In Search of Ancient Astronomies": A Review [Journals] [Kronos]
... possibilities we have discussed were functional. Moreover, our search for significant astronomical events to match the alignments has included only those which seem of obvious importance to us: solar, lunar and planetary extremes and the setting positions of the brightest stars which announce, through their heliacal rising and setting, important dates in the civil, religious or agricultural calendar. ''(5 ) Perhaps Aveni should have pondered the implications of his own statement. Does he not find it surprising that, given this plethora of azimuthal directions, he was unable to correlate all of his alignments? Proponents of archaeoastronomy have offered such a vast number of astronomical events purportedly utilised by the ancients that it is ...

... reign of Yao for ten days the sun remained above the horizon; all the forests burned; a multitude of "abominable vermin" was brought forth; an immense wave that "reached the sky" fell on China and swept over high mountains, and thereafter the lower regions of the country remained inundated for more than two generations; the calendar was disordered, and it was also necessary to find anew the cardinal points- east, west, north, and south- which were difficult to locate because the land was covered with gloom for many years. It is said also that a new bright star was born in the days of Yao. All this, I demonstrated in my book ...
237. The Twenty-One Years of Venus [Journals] [Kronos]
... conjunction, which lasts about 2 days or longer), because her brightness is swamped by that of the Sun. A great number of civilizations all over the globe, including some classified as primitive, have paid close attention to the dates of the disappearances and reappearances of Venus. The importance of the cuneiform Venus Tablets is that they provide calendar dates for the beginning and the end of the invisibilities of Venus that are strikingly different from what we would expect. Rose (Pensée IVR III) aptly quotes these entries of K. 160 as a typical example of how data are presented: In the month Sivan, on the twenty-fifth day, Ninsianna (that is, Venus) ...
238. Victor Clube: Scientific Revelations - the Origins of Catastrophe Myths and Legends [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Myths and Legends Victor is arguably one of the world's leading catastrophists. Yet he is also a renowned astronomer as well as an open-minded scholar who is happy to accept new ideas regarding our ancestors' understanding of impact events in former ages. He spoke much about time cycles of impact events that were realised by ancient cultures and incorporated into their calendars in order that they might be able to predict future catastrophes. He said that the most important cycle of all, and one which we have been denied knowledge of until fairly recently, recurs ever 2,500 years. This has been determined not just through the study of the orbits of comet, asteroid and meteor fields, but ...
239. The Uranians [Books] [de Grazia books]
... intermediate descent, than the 12,000 years that have been conventionally allotted to them. Numerous older dates are now assigned; one authority, MacNeish, would allow 100,000 years to mankind in America [25]. Stone tools dated at 100,00 years were discovered in Western Australia lately [26]. By the quantavolutionary calendar, humans everywhere show indications of having participated in the earliest Uranian culture. We need not argue dates, but only cultures. Furthermore, no matter how complete a catastrophe, every subsequent period of our calendar can encompass both people and interacting cultures everywhere in the world. Regarding the similarities observed between American mythology and classical and Hebrew myth ...
... was built the year apparently consisted of 12 months of 30 days each. The extra 5 days were probably added by the Flood, or, as called in Scotland, the Drift, and we find in Great Britain, notably in Stonehenge, Keswick, and elsewhere, anxious researches in the times of the solstices and equinoxes to adjust the calendar. The Talmud says of this that the order of the universe was altered at the Flood and all knowledge of astronomy destroyed. The philosopher Anaxagoras says that "at the Beginning the stars were seen as if carried round in a vast dome, in such a manner that the constant apparent revolution of the heavens was vertical to the earth ...
