From Calendars to Chronology ALL Honorable Men The Skeptical Inquirer: Journalists and Scientists as Misrepresenters By Charles Ginenthal Galileo said, "I shall say a sort of official policy on the part of those who want to cover up their original error of having wronged an innocent man by continuing their offenses and wrongs, so that people will conceive that other grave ...
... name for Sirius, and that the "great years" begin with the heliacal rising of Sirius on the first morning of the month called Thoth. Heliacal rising designates the rising of a star just prior to sunrise when it is first seen again to the naked eye after its rising has been obscured by the brilliance of sunlight. If a calendar has only 365 days a year instead of 365.25, every four years the calendar is short one day. Therefore, with this calendar, the heliacal rising of a star would occur one day later every four years. Losing one day every four years would make a star rise heliacally on the same day only every 1460 actual ...
313. Additional Notes on Assyro-Babylonian Chronology [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . 106). Accusing scholars for using this convention "to impress the reader" is almost ridiculous. On the contrary, it is a very common, simple and convenient way of expressing Assyrian or Babylonian regnal years, and there are certainly no scholars who apply this usage for any other purpose. As the first month of the Babylonian calendar year, Nisan, fell in the Spring (about March/April), a regnal year covered parts of two years in our calendar. A common convention for expressing a specific regnal year, therefore, is the use of double-dating. When Ashurbanipal's 20th regnal year is said to correspond to 649/48 BC, I'm sure that ...
314. Fomenko and English History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... from convincing, and there are many other problems with Fomenko and Nosovskij's arguments. For example, they are undoubtedly guilty of circular reasoning over AD dates when they dismiss the authenticity of existing manuscripts of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles on the grounds that these use AD dates from start to finish. It is the overwhelming view of historians that the Church used calendars with AD dates from the middle of the first millennium, albeit with local variations of detail, such as when each new year started. The establishment of this system owed much to the work of Dionysius Exiguus, abbot of a monastery in Rome, who died around 550 AD [3 , 4, 5]. In his 1994 ...

... the point of destruction." [41] By late Zhou times it had become axiomatic that the "mandate of heaven," which was the sovereignty of the emperor, was actually tied up with "five - planet conjunctions." [42] What is more, the Chinese, too, linked this conjunction of planets with the calendar, the beginning of time, and creation. A major tenet of Han astronomy was that the five planets, Sun, and Moon were in conjunction at a time zero before the cycles of Heaven, Earth, and Man were set in motion. [43] According to a text dating from the 1st century BCE, this conjunction ...

... are divided into compartments, and people only know a very small part of the field in which they are members of the faculty. One may know, in geography, this part of the world and not beyond this part, and in history one would know this century but not the next century, but I saw that some-body studying Mexican calendars comes upon very difficult problems. He would make some general observations if he could also know that the very same problems exist in the Sumerian calendar or in the Babylonian or Egyptian calendars. If you know it, then you are able to reach conclusions that, in separate fields, you are not able to reach. Therefore, later ...

... ), and 2) that Venus was observed in the sky earlier than the first near encounter of the protoplanet Venus with the Earth. To the first point it would suffice to cite the opening paragraph of van der Waerden's article of 1951 (Journal of Near Eastern Studies, vol. X, p. 20). In the Assyro-Babylonian calendar of about -700 the vernal equinox was transferred by more than a month. Also the ratio of the day to the night at the summer solstice seems to have changed from 2:1 to 3:2 . Similar changes took place in Egypt at the same time. And of what value are reports of phenomena from Syria or the ...
318. Cultural Amnesia [Books]
... Psalms. Our whole life is pervaded by influences originating in these and other catastrophic events that took place in earlier ages. The catastrophes survive in the liturgy still used today, only we choose not to examine them as such. Whatever area of life we select to explore we find some vestige of the terrifying events of the past. The calendar is a good example, either the Jewish calendar or the Christian calendar or that of any other creed. Throughout the year the holidays are reflections of catastrophic events. The midwinter holiday celebrated as either Christmas or Hanukkah, the Week of Light, is a renewal of the Roman Saturnalia. If you read about the Roman Saturnalia you recognize ...

... centuries? The moon, being smaller than Mars, would have been greatly influenced by Mars if it came close enough to that planet. It could have been drawn nearer to the earth or pulled away to a more remote orbit. It is therefore of interest to investigate whether, in the time shortly after -687, reforms of the lunar calendar were undertaken. Also, the earth could have been "removed from her place," which would have meant a change in the orbital circumference and thus in the length of the year, or in the inclination of the terrestrial axis to the plane of the ecliptic and thus in the seasons, in the position of the poles on ...
320. Venus and Mars [Books] [de Grazia books]
... is portrayed as a ruthless warrior. Hercules seems to be one of his more interesting identities. New militaristic nations, particularly the Romans, the Assyrians, and the ancestral Aztecs, forged empires under his inspiration. The Roman dedication to Mars is well known. He was believed to be father of Romulus, their founder. In the old calendar they named the first month after him. The Romans irreconcilably claimed both Aeneas, Prince of Troy, and Romulus as their founder. Aeneas was, and is, placed in the twelfth or thirteenth century BC with the Trojan Wars, by older scholarship. Recently the Wars have been brought into later times, along with Homer, who ...
