... the dates!) Blair's paper is rather unhappily titled: "New Questions on Old Subjects - Velikovsky's and Erich von Däniken's questions: a plea for archaeological rethinking". von Däniken's involvement in the paper is mercifully restricted to one restatement of a question posed by that writer in Chariots of the Gods?: "Why was there a Sirius calendar in Egypt distinct from the official calendar?" The question has, of course, been raised in better ways by dozens of writers apart from the wayward "ancient astronaut" theorist. Blair himself rephrases the question more appropriately, and it is to be regretted that von Däniken was rather unnecessarily introduced into what is otherwise a succinct restatement ...
282. Capture Flood Myths (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... , are also depicted as Feathered Serpents. In this picture we can recognize the tailed aspect of the newly captured Moon. All these gods, moreover, are avowedly of different race from the nations that worshipped them, and all of them are culture bringers, coming from the east. That some are regarded as the inventors or introducers of calendar systems need not surprise us. The appearance of the Moon must have really forced a convenient calendar system upon everybody who could reckon. ...
283. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... found in Britain is a spear point made of deer bone or antler. The latest dating procedure, known as accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating, suggests it is between 28,000 and 27,360 years old but others suggest that modern man reached Europe much earlier, between 37,000 and 43,000 years ago. Babylonian Jewish Calendar Jewish Chronicle The Jewish calendar follows that of the lunar-based Babylonian system developed between 750 and 540 BC. This was originally to distinguish themselves from the Egyptians, who used a solar calendar, and a 2,400 year old Babylonian calendar has been found among the Jewish military colony on Elephantine island in the Nile. Submerged Evidence not so ...

285. The Egyptian Prince Moses [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... A Profile for Hermes. In the context of discussing the ancient benevolent despot Osiris, Diodorus brings up his assistants and advisors. Osiris' outstanding advisor was Hermes, a favorite of the queen, Isis. Among Hermes' accomplishments were the invention of the alphabet, ordinances regarding the honors and offerings to the gods- which surely included a calendar, and the orderly arrangement of the stars.[12] These three concepts are closely related to one another. Elsewhere[13] I noted the relationship between the shapes of the original forms of the Hebrew-Phoenician alphabet and star constellations. The order of the letters of the alphabet, moreover, followed that of the star constellations, ...
286. An Integrated Model for an Earthwide Event at 2300 BC. Part II: The Climatological Evidence [Journals] [SIS Review]
... J. Murray, Climates of Hunger [University of Wisconsin Press 1977], pp.26,27) Throughout this article there will be chronological charts showing variations in climatic conditions and resultant effects on the environment with time. Most of the charts have been reproduced from the original sources. In some cases, the charts are drawn in calendar years; in others, radiocarbon years. In all cases, I have marked the date of 2300 BC on the charts for clarity of presentation. On those charts showing the dating in radiocarbon years, the 2300 BC marker will be lined up approximately with 1800 BC or 3800 BP on that chart, reflecting the approximate 500 year correction ...

... was an action similar to cenain asteroids presently in the 2:1 and 3:1 orbit resonances with Jupiter's orbit.](3 ) 5. EARTH ORBIT DIMENSION The catastrophic orbit of the Earth had an eccentricity of about .03 compared to the current .017. It passed through its perihelion always on January 7 (in modern calendar terminology).(4 ) Furthermore, its average orbital distance from the Sun was about 800,000 miles less than the current average of 93,000,000 miles. In this ancient orbit the Earth's rotation rate (being essentially its current rate) resulted in a 360 day year. This former year length is attested to ...

From Calendars to Chronology Bob Forrest and Venus As A Comet In World Mythology David N. Talbott and Ev Cochrane To evaluate Immanuel Velikovsky's place in the history of science one must consider fundamentals, for it was at the most fundamental level that his conclusions challenged modern theoretical frameworks. Velikovsky claimed that- Planets now moving on stable orbits many millions of miles ...
289. The Birth and Odyssey of Halley's Comet: From 2484 B.C. to the Present Time [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... 9 Mar. 1784 B.C . 21 July 852 B.C . 10 Dec. 1707 B.C . 22 Mar. 774 B.C . 11 Sep. 1629 B.C . 23 Nov. 697 B.C . In our work, Catastrophism and the Old Testament, we describe the era when a 360-day calendar for the Earth was satisfactory to ancient peoples on five continents. We cited Immanuel Velikovsky's more extensive research showing this to be the case in at least thirteen ancient societies. In our research for this essay we have found that in ancient times the Chinese had 24 semi-months per year, each exactly 15 days, totaling 360 days. In ...
290. The Charisma of Moses [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Egypt and Babylon. Again the problem of control. Precisely during Moses' tenure, also, the skies were usually clouded and dusted over; it was a poor period for astronomical observation. Finally, a sedentary observatory would be needed for star studies; this a wandering nation could not provide. In Jewish tradition we hear that a new calendar was divinely ordained to begin in the month of Nisan, with the Passover to be celebrated on the 15th of Nisan, "but the computations for the calendar were so involved that Moses could not understand them until God showed him the movements of the moon plainly."[54] God ordered a court to be set up to ...
