... was no dyke of the people to withstand its fury. All the people were like birds upon it . . . the tempest . . . suspended . . . like the heavens. All the temples of Thebes were like marshes."5 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."6 On the day of the approaching catastrophe, Amos says, there will be no place of escape, not even on Mount Carmel, rich in caves. "Though they climb up to heaven, thence will ...
262. You too can in the Yucatan [Journals] [Horus]
... for Venus worship, its western orientation confines the relation to some aspect of Venus as Evening Star. Chichen Itza - The Temple of Kukulcan (called the Castle by the Spanish) is a famous symbol of the ancient Yucatan and the passion of its people far astronomical calendrics. Its design and decoration seem to incorporate the elements of the civil calendar yew. There are 91 steps in each of the four stairways plus the temple platform which totals 365 to represent the days in the yew. There we nine levels in two halves which make 18, the number of 20-day months (plus a special 5-day "month') in the Mayan yew. The decorative pawls on each face ...

... points, north being the " airt " of winter, east of spring, south of summer and west of autumn. But these connexions were not of arbitrary character-the result of the theorising of priestly astronomers, but the direct result of a discovery made by those intelligent thinkers and observers among the early agriculturists who measured the year and introduced the Calendar which is still in use all over the world, We are therefore not dealing with Mr. Andrew Lang's " savages ", but with men quite as intelligent and perhaps much more observant than the great majority of modern men.

264. Chapter XXV: the Vague and the Sirian Years [Books]
... have found was that, after an interval of four years, it did not fall on the first day of the month, but on the day following it. The true year and the newly-established year of 365 days, then, behaved to each other as shown in the following diagram, when the solstice, representing the beginning of the calendar year, occurred on the 1st Thoth of the newly-established calendar year. We should have, in the subsequent years, the state of things shown in the diagram. The solstice would year by year occur later in relation to the 1st of Thoth. The 1st of Thoth would occur earlier, in relation to the solstice; so that ...
265. Velikovsky's "The Tomb of Ahiram" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... it is also possible that the as yet undeciphered cylinders with cuneiform signs discovered in the Kadmeion in Thebes may turn out to be cuneiform alphabetic Greek. Closing Discussion The Conference closed with a general discussion session, of which we again print extracts. The first questioner enquired about the strength of the evidence for the existence of a 365-day Egyptian civil calendar, without leap years, as far back as the time of the Old Kingdom. Jones: I can think of two sources which support the idea of accepting a 360 + 5-day year in Egypt. One is the material from Deir el-Medineh, where there are records of workmen working shifts on the construction of the royal tombs in the ...

267. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Group), c/o Jari Koponen,Kauppalantie 25 B 17, SF - 00320 Helsinki 32, Finland. The Group's Erikoisnumero: Velikovskin Teoria ja Tiede appeared during the autumn, with articles by Helsinki University specialists covering the fields of celestial mechanics, Sagan's objections and radiocarbon dating, and a paper by Robert L. Merritt on ancient calendars. Disappointingly, Alfa's "impartial and objective study" of the scientific area of Velikovsky's hypotheses, with a wealth of sources cited (including, "for" Velikovsky, Yale Scientific, Pensée and SISR), leads to the conclusion that "Velikovsky has not succeeded in arguing (let alone proving) his astronomical speculations". Perhaps ...
268. Fomenko is right! [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 16th-17th century AD' created the present traditional' chronology of the western world' and they did this from chronological material which covered no more than the previous 500-700 years. Thus, as Fomenko claims, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle could not have been written before the 16th century AD' precisely because it uses the AD' system of the Christian' Calendar which first came into use at that time. This claim is based on the mathematical and statistical analysis done by Fomenko et al described in their book. In effect, then, the Palmers assume that Fomenko's theory must be wrong and set out to show us how wrong it must be with ringing phrases such as the overwhelming view of ...
