... horoscope of a very exalted personage. This theory had to be abandoned, since, under the present cosmic system, Mercury can never appear to be more than 28 east or west of the sun as seen from the earth. Fagan starts the exposition of his theory by stating that to peoples of antiquity the two most important dates in the calendar were the new moon of spring and the new moon of autumn, that is the new moon closest to the equinoxes. The former marked the opening of the religious year and the latter the beginning of the civil year (vide the feasts in the Hebrew calendar of 1st Nisan and 1st Tishri). The ancient Semitic calendars of Babylon ...
342. The Hyksos Pyramid Builders [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... , the history of the first millennium, which is known solely through the Classical and Hellenistic writers, was dated according to these sources. The history of the second millennium, however, was supplied by cross-referencing with Egyptian hieroglyphic material, and this chronology is based solely on these sources, which are dated according to Borchart's pseudo-astronomical "Sothic" calendar. The final part of the triplication, the ghost kingdoms of the third millennium, were supplied by cross-referencing with Mesopotamian cuneiform documents, and this chronology is based solely on these sources, which are ultimately dated in a fundamentalist way on the basis of the biblical date of Abraham (a native of Ur). Thus, the Imperial ...
343. Ancient Astronomical Values Revealed in The Book of the Secrets of Enoch [Journals] [Horus]
... the Christian era. Its final editor was a Greek and the place of its composition, Egypt." An introduction at the head of Chapter I supplies a brief description of some of the book's contents: "An account of the mechanism of the world showing the machinery of the Sun and Moon in operation. Astronomy and an interesting ancient calendar." A thoughtful perusal of the entire book leads one to the inescapable conclusion that the author of "Secrets" was not himself an astronomer but merely a religious writer, and that, therefore, the astronomical data presented by him was drawn second-hand from reference sources available in that era. This fact will prove useful in helping to ...
344. The Birth and Death of Memory [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the "Age of Mars" that is, in the eighth and seventh centuries [8 ]. An ordinary person is alerted and examines the sky with a fore-boding of evil. A brilliant speck grows larger from day to day. He is told that it has done so before, with terrible consequences. The memory is already excited. Calendars are studied and worked over. Oracles are consulted. All group efforts are mobilized to control the menace: rituals of subservience and devotion; the stricter punishment of any suspected deviants in all areas of law and conduct; the destruction of enemies if they can be promptly engaged; the sacrifice of more and more valuable properties and persons. ...
345. Editor's Notes [Journals] [SIS Review]
... : SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 1996:2 (May 1997) Home | Issue Contents Editor's Notes This issue features three astronomical articles - Michael Reade's assessment of the Orion Mystery theory of the layout of the pyramids at Giza comes up with conclusions about not only their layout but also their date. Flavio Barbiero analyses soem interesting mechanical models for calendars and suggests this as an explanation for Central American sun discs'. Charles Raspil's analysis of Chinese planetary observations throws up some anomalies of interest to those who are pursuing evidence of catastrophes between 500AD and 1000AD. Emmett Sweeney supports radical revisions of ancient Middle Eastern history and his latest paper (based on his new book) proposes some controversial ...

... of the world were displaced. Seasons no longer came in their proper times. "The winter is come as summer, the months are reversed, and the hours are disordered," reads an Egyptian papyrus. The Chinese Emperor Yahou sent scholars throughout the land to locate north, east, west, and south and draw up a new calendar. Numerous records tell of the earth "turning over." An Egyptian inscription from before the tumult says that the sun "riseth in the west." While men attempted to determine the times and seasons, Venus continued on its threatening course around the sun. Under Joshua, the Israelites had entered the Promised Land, and again ...
347. The Stream Surrounding the Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of at least a thousand years. Although no unanimity of opinion exists, a sizable number of sources place the date for the material in the earliest books to the latter half of the third millennium BC and the Indo-European movement occurring at that time [42]. One potentially important dating technique is based on astronomical observations in that the naksatra calendar is referred to several times in the Rgveda. Parpola brings up the important point that authorities generally agree that, on the basis of the astronomical evidence, the twenty-fourth century BC is the most likely date of compilation of the naksatra calendar [43]. Another astronomical reference is contained in the Satapatha Brahmana, one of the oldest books ...
348. Analysis of the Babylonian Observations [Journals] [Kronos]
... must be treated as variables (or as constants) in making a comparison between the pattern of invisibilities reported on the Ninsianna tablets and computed patterns of invisibilities of Venus. The thoroughness of the comparison depends on how many are treated as variables. Not included in the list are observational uncertainties such as weather; uncertainties concerning the relationship among the calendar units (year, month, and day), including the number and location of intercalary months; and uncertainties in the Ninsianna data, where different dates can often be read or inferred for the same event. 1. Ratio of the orbital periods of Venus and Earth. 2. Orbital eccentricity of Venus. 3. Orbital eccentricity ...
349. Evolution from Space [Articles]
... chronology the difference isn't big, but not in our chronology, there is quite a difference. René Gallant: I go by the chronology which exists. The events cited by the Papyrus Anastasi IV could not have happened because Seti II was barely 100 years behind the last coincidence between the solar year of 365 1/4 and the Egyptian calendar year of 365 days, so there should only be 20 days difference. At the time at which the Egyptologists place the Papyrus Anastasi IV, the season could not have been reversed and this is why the Egyptologists dismiss the Papyrus Anastasi IV as not expressing truth. Question (1 ): One can understand that in Egyptian writing there ...
