... by all the Chou rulers, and translates as "king" or "emperor". As attested by tradition, and as I have confirmed at least in general for late Chou times by an analysis presented in "On The Year -687' " (see KRONOS VI:4 (1981), pp. 4-27), the Chou calendar began with the month of the winter solstice. The first day of the tenth month of 776 B.C ., taken at conjunction, would be September 6 Julian, which fell on a hsin mao day. Modern calculations show an eclipse occurring near midday on that date at the longitude of China. Gaubil was the first European ...
242. Answers To Further Critics [Journals] [Kronos]
... We are reluctant to do this, however, since the figure of 0.090 might turn out to have been fairly well chosen, despite the fact that it does not mirror Velikovsky's views on the non-schematic character of post-Beth-horon months. Ironically, it is the Venus tablets that are once again important here. * * * Like the post-Beth-horon calendars, the Venus tablets feature thirty-day months. With an Earth eccentricity of at least five or six times the present eccentricity, the months of thirty days on the Venus tablets could not be observational either, and would have to be schematic or at least mean months. Since Vaughan and I would put Years 1 to 17 on the Venus ...
243. The Rape of Helen [Books] [de Grazia books]
... orbits, now one and now both approached Earth and Moon with consequent devastation to the participating bodies. Awe-inspiring celestial phenomena accompanied the founding of the Greek Olympic Games in -776. Hercules is supposed to have organized the games, ushering in what later came to be a quadrennial all-Greek spectacle of religion, athletics, and poetry. The Greek Mythikon calendar ends in -776. The Historikon calendar begins. But Stecchini says that it may have actually begun, or soon was redone, in -748/7 [6 ]. And this would conform to those who say that Hercules did not enter upon the games until they had been operative on eight prior occasions. In the west, the ...
244. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... worried by the inflexibility of his [Trevor's] last sentence. I cannot see how the history revision that I, and presumably many other SIS members regard as essential, can be achieved without challenging information that is regarded as well-established'. Peter Fairlie-Clarke, Teddington, Middlesex Dear Reader Velikovsky identified the astronomical' dating system of the so-called Sothic Calendar' as a major factor in the construction of the basically fictitious Egyptian chronology accepted by mainstream academia. Bearing this in mind, it was with some apprehension that I found Professor Lynn Rose attempting a rehabilitation of the Sothic system. In his book Sun Moon and Sothis, Rose initially demolishes the credibility of Sothic dating as a whole, ...
245. Shishak, the kings of Judah and some synchronisms [Journals] [SIS Review]
... appreciable subsequent changes, however, with Judah probably adopting Venus years in the time of Joash (II Chronicles 21:5-6 and II Kings 8:16-18 both report that Judah adopted the ways of Ahab's Israel in the time of Jehoram, or up to 9 years before the accession of Joash), followed 60-70 years later by a possible calendar reform in the time of Uzziah, after which Venus years were probably abandoned by both parties. By this time Venus would have become a much less conspicuous object than it had been earlier, its tail having first faded and then finally become extinguished, making Venus years just as difficult to count as solar years; under such conditions there ...

... 54 of DREAMTIME HERITAGE (Paintings by Ainslie Roberts, text by Melva Jane Roberts, published by Rigby, Sydney, New York & London 1975). It will, presumably, be difficult to establish what stage in Earth history is described here, but the authors may be able to supply further details. Elizabeth Gaudry, Eastbourne, Sussex Calendars - A Reply to Hennegin Dear Sir, With regard to Montgomery Hennegin's letter in WORKSHOP 5:2 , pp. 32-3, such terms as "balderdash" demean what should be a forum for the polite exchange of differing views. Just as the great Velikovsky's ideas require some amendment, so are we all subject to error. Confusion ...

... 2 ) Outside Britain, Professor Maxia, working on the nuraghi of Sardinia, has shown that the associated well-temples' are astronomically significant and based on the Moon.(3 ) If it is accepted that these observations are correct, what could be the motivation behind this obsession? One often suggested idea is that Moon watchers were making a calendar in order to time their hunting or agriculture to the seasons of the solar year. This is possible for the earliest and roughest observations, although it is difficult to understand how societies living close to nature could fail to know the seasons by a multitude of natural signals which are far more reliable than a primitive calendar. This would rapidly ...
248. Origins of the Zodiac and some Horological Problems [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... (or any other recognisable phase of the moon) occurs in each of the 12 zodiacal signs in turn (though only with certainty when the year is precisely divisible into 12 months of equal length), thus offering an alternative way of naming the month. In general, the lunar system is an easier and a more practical one for calendar purposes than the solar one, for it is obviously a sophisticated operation to identify a star directly behind the sun with any degree of precision; moreover; in a purely lunar system, one can also identify the days within the month by the shape and the size of the moon, for it changes sufficiently in shape and size from ...

... arose was: Where is the archaeological evidence? In later chapters of my book I gave such evidence: water clocks and sundials that show a different length of the day or altered latitudes;, change in the orientation of ancient temples which originally faced toward the east but do so no longer. I also closely examined in my book the calendars of the civilized peoples of antiquity, from Mexico and Peru to Greece, Iran, Israel, Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, India, and China, and the calendar reforms that were made. All this material gave strong support to the literary evidence. Working independently of me, Professor Claude Schaeffer, whose earlier excavations at Ras-Shamra ( ...
