... points which are displaced by many degrees. Equally displaced are the positions (stations) of the new moon and the distances our satellite covers from one new moon to another. My explanation of these various systems of celestial motions and positions was in harmony with what is found in the lore of other peoples of antiquity and was reflected in the calendar reforms of the Chinese, Hindus, Persians, Israelites, Egyptians, Mayans, and others- namely, that these systems represent true observations at various epochs, before and after the repeated disturbances of the seventh to eighth century B.C . I consider the parts of Worlds in Collision, pages 120-25,313-59, dealing with the calendar ...
272. The Inconstant Heavens [Books] [de Grazia books]
... been concerned for more than a score of years. This book contended that the cataclysm described in the Old Testament as universal Deluge was caused by the impact of a comet at the end of the third millennium B.C ., and that up to the Deluge the solar year had the duration of 360 days only, yet the new calendar of 365 days had to wait to be introduced by Nabonassar (in 747 B.C .) . These contentions were based mainly on historical evidence, whereas astronomical considerations were the main ground for suggesting that comets may become planets: Yet comets by passing through the planetary regions in all planets and directions... seem fit to ...
273. The Bible Myth : The African Origins Of The Jewish People by Gary Greenberg (Book review) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... basis for astronomical and calendrical investigation. Nothing like that is to be found from anywhere else in Dynastic Egypt. Some readers may be aware that I have moved the Twelfth Dynasty to the fifth and fourth centuries. If that is accepted, then Greenberg's project becomes hopeless. (See my Sun, Moon, and Sothis: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt, KRONOS Press, 1999, Volume II of The Osiris Series, sponsored by Cosmos and Chronos, and edited by Dwardu Cardona. One of my key findings is that Year 7 of Sesostris III was -394. Another is that the Twelfth Dynasty ended on October 4 Julian, -331, when Alexander the ...
274. Appendices [The Age of Velikovsky] [Books]
... , to hand calculations which were never shown to anyone. It is apparent from reading Totten's book that the missing day story is an updated version of Totten's prevarication. The modern touch of NASA, computer and scientists replaced the less believable situation in the Totten book. To perform a calculation of the type Totten claims to have performed, accurate calendar points before and after the event would be required. If you had an accurate calendar, you would not need to perform the calculations. If you used astronomical data before and after the event, you would need very exact data, but none exists. To do his calculations, Totten assumed he knew exactly how long ago the Earth ...
... equator in the opposite direction to the Earth's spin. A previous year of exactly 365 days would number 2 days, 2 hours, 12 minutes, 5 seconds less, or 362 days, 21 hours, 47 minutes, 55 seconds. There would be no shift of the polar axis. Historical documents prove that ancient peoples have repeatedly introduced calendar reforms. It is now well established that at one time a year of 360 days was in use. At some time it was replaced by a year of 365 days, and to the latter succeeded a year of 365 days and a quarter. It is generally believed that these successive reforms were the result of steady progress and improvements ...
... of the Carthaginians. Judging from the foregoing, should it not be said that the British god Hermes, an Atlantean deity, was introduced into the land of Egypt? It proposes an entire reversal of Professor Perry's ideas! There is another point in regard to the temple of Ammon also of significance. According to the well-known authority on ancient calendars, the Hon. Emily Plunket, the temple of Ammon is oriented to the first point of Aries, the Ram, the sign which denoted the advent of the Vernal, or Spring, Equinox, immediately after the Flood. "The world was reconstructed," says Miss Plunket, "when the sun was in the first degree ...

278. The Planetary Order Revealed in The Book of the Secrets of Enoch [Journals] [Horus]
... setting points of the planets much more easily discernible to anyone making a regular study and observation of them. Horizon reference That ancient astronomers made use of the horizon as a natural and convenient reference scale for measuring and correlating movements of the heavenly bodies is a well-attested fact. In numerous articles in HORUS and KRONOS dealing with Stonehenge as a luni-solar calendar, 1 have amply demonstrated that the horizon-marking method was the principal system used in setting up the sunmoon calendar device that the site represented. By noting the maximum setting (or rising) points of the planets along that scale, and thereby the relative degree to which each, in its separate celestial journey, "wandered away" from ...

... not be measured in billions, nor even millions of years. Indeed, how can we measure a system of time based on Earth's rotation and orbital time around the Sun, neither of which has been historically constant? (See the recent book by Prof. Lynn E. Rose, Sun, Moon, and Sothis: A Study of Calendars and Calendar Reforms in Ancient Egypt, dealing with the history of measuring time.) Even using these variables I would be surprised if we are measuring time' even in a single' million. Our planet and others existed and orbited proto-Saturn, during which time' the Earth became inhabitable and life evolved. This planet's pole was located ...
280. The Orientation of the Pyramids [Journals] [Pensee]
... Actually, the very numerous cuneiform tablets found in the ruins of the Nineveh royal library, and if dating from before ca. -700, contain calendric and astronomical data that differ greatly from those of our times; that advanced mathematics was employed in preparing these tablets is readily admitted by specialists in Babylonian astronomy. According to these tablets, the calendar was repeatedly altered, and at certain periods the vernal equinox was identified on dates far removed from March 21st; the values for the longest and shortest days (daylight hours) of the year repeatedly and drastically changed, too. Significantly, the very same changes in the calendar and in estimates of the longest and shortest days of the ...
