... mean period [of Halley's comet] over two millenniums is not far short of 77 years' [5 ]. From August 87 BC to August 1531 AD (both perihelion passages of the comet) the period averaged 76 years and 261 days [6 ]. 9 such periods exceed 690 years. 2). The Greeks adjusted their calendar according to the cycles of Meton (19 years) and Callipus (76 years, i.e . 4 Metonic periods minus a day). The Metonic period is an eclipse cycle, actually 5 times the shorter 47 month eclipse cycle. (4 eclipse years of 346.62 days make 1386.5 days; 47 months ...
292. Solomon and Sheba [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1997:1 (Oct 1997) Home | Issue Contents Solomon And Sheba by Damien F. Mackey Damien Mackey (MA, BPhil) has a Masters Degree from the University of Sydney (Australia). His thesis The Sothic Star Theory of the Egyptian Calendar', was a demolition job' on conventional Egyptian dating. In his reconstruction (i ) the Exodus occurred at the end of Egypt's Old Kingdom (EBA); (ii) the MBI people were the Israelites of the Exodus/Conquest and (iii) the early monarchy of Israel was contemporary with the early New Kingdom of Egypt. On these points his reconstruction is ...
293. Transcript of the Evening Session of the A.A.A.S. Symposium [Articles]
... to the question, why? I said to him, because this was the time when the year was of twelve months of thirty days each, not only the month, but the travelling of the Moon. And, interestingly- this I bring in before coming back to Ammizaduga- you can read it in every modern book of ancient calendars, whether Parker about Egypt, or anybody else across the two continents of Asia and Europe- Egypt included- and the New World. You find always the same expression of wonder about the Moon movement, not just the month. Now to this I wish to say. When I mentioned to Dr. Huber that because of this ...
294. High Energy from Space [Books] [de Grazia books]
... heavy, sky-provoked forces that can cause immense changes upon Earth in a short time. If the solar system may have been unstable and if the Earth can be transformed by high energy forces, then all is ready for the third chapter, which radically challenges a long-time history of the present world. Once that is done, a new short-time calendar of the holocene epoch is in order. Thereafter, the goal will be to prove the calendar - or if not to prove it, to establish it upon a basis worthy of intelligent discussion. Comets have been invariably a source of terror to humanity and linked to all manner of evil (see Figure 3). The many apparitions ...
295. Precursors of Quantavolution [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . s work, which he expressed most strongly in an article of 1982, did not extend to accepting the participation of planet Venus. He presented the Deluge in an unusual structural form; generally his work has this geometrical structure of thought. Like Deg, he was prone to set up categories and lists. He developed also a short-term calendar of the ages. His brief but friendly criticisms of V. were threefold: that V. was over- influenced by Freud and prone to accept too many evolutionary and uniformitarian doctrines, that he was unquantitative and unsystematic in his geology, and that V. was overconcerned with his critics. I cannot dispute Patten, because these same ...

... at Elephantine, would not be totally out of place here as the god of birth and fertility (associated with the source of the Nile and seen as a potter shaping infants), he might be considered justified in taking a place amongst the spring constellations. But then, the Egyptian season of "Growth" fell (in the pharaonic calendar, and effectively until the building of the Aswan dam) during our winter, beginning four months after the start of the Inundation around the summer solstice . . . - R.M .L .] Probable orientation of the heavens as seen from Earth (northern hemisphere) at the time of the Phaeton episode.

297. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... change the terms of the debate, putting the boot on the other foot and making it incumbent on Velikovsky's critics to find evidence to disprove his thesis. Dr de Grazia first dealt with the astrosphere, noting records of pillars of fire, the intervention of Jahweh, archangel and gods of other pantheons; and also the preoccupation with devising new calendars and the importance to the Maya of the ancient 260-day calendar. From this he drew up Proposition No. 1: "No available record of astronomical events anywhere in the world referring to this period, c. 3450 BP, shows an unchanging situation." An example of an anomaly would be the frequently expressed statement that a 365-day ...
298. The Hebrew Patriarchs in Greek Tradition (Part I) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . It showed how some Jewish traditions could be construed as pointing towards an Israelite sojourn in 18th Dynasty Egypt. The details in those traditions seem to link Joseph's rise to power with the first regnal year of young king Amenhotep I, and Jacob's entry with his 9th year when severe earthquakes struck the land [1 ] and a significant new calendar was introduced [2 ]. By utilising that 9th year as a key' date, a tentative chronology for the Hebrew patriarchs can be developed. For example, one could count back 215 years to find that Abram would have entered Egypt during the rule of the powerful vizier Enkhu. This official held power for perhaps 18 years or ...

... of the day... and even the trees bear their green foliage almost throughout the year." Two indications support this: (1 ) that the day was divided into 12 hours all year round, whatever its length; and (2 ) that the concepts "summer" and "winter" were not part of the Egyptian calendar, which was divided into three seasons of four months each deriving from the stages of the Nile inundation. Thus, it would not be too surprising if the Mesopotamian/Egyptian calendar were to ignore the sun's progress entirely: this is a factor which must be taken into account when researching ancient calendars. The moon is another enigma. ...
300. Earth Parturition and Moon Birth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the approach of the Uranian planet. The memories were painful and unbelievable to the psychologically and physically depressed survivors. They were therefore distorted, suppressed, and selectively elaborated. The Moon was watched with fear and trembling the less so as it became regular in its behavior. Its routine and successive phases were marked down and the logic of a calendar moving through time was founded. Coincidentally, the Moon settled into a periodicity that came close to the periodic menstruation of women. (But it may be, as will be discussed soon, that the menstrual cycle was psychosomatically adjusted to the lunar cycle.) The period of menstruation was lent importance as a result. Witchcraft flourished around ...
