... decreasing (compare Kukla and Matthews with Gribbin, 1976; A. Brown). The solar year under Jupiter may have had a succession of different lengths. First occurred the Saturnian year, to which we have assigned a 64-day duration [100]. Then it increased to 156 days when Jupiter receded. The Mayans possessed a 260-day sacred calendar that was central to their religious and cultural life, even while using a more modern and exact calendar (Coe, p9). We attribute this sacred calendar to the Jupiter-Earth synods of this era, to the time before 4 400 years ago [101]. At the Saturnian Deluge we suspect the Earth was around 96 gigameters from ...

... thicknesses of the average strata of earth of our epoch of time and compare them with average thicknesses of the average strata of previous epochs; and, we can check the area covered by our present South Pole Ice Cap against the areas covered by previous ice caps. The year 1966 has been converted below to the corresponding year in six different calendars. These calendars were established by men whose work represents the most enlightened estimates of their time, especially as to the beginning of their eras: ERA YEAR Grecian Mundane Era - 7,564 Civil Era of Constantinople - 7,474 Alexandrian Era - 7,468 Julian Period - 6,679 Mundane Era - 5,974 Jewish ...

... it at Auriga's chariot, Babylonian narkabtu, the more so, as Marduk, too, used it when tipping over Tiamat. The "Babylonian Genesis" does not tell that Marduk hurled people around, but there is a cuneiform text (VAT 9947) called by Ebeling (Tod und Leben, nf.) "a kind of a calendar of festivals," where it says: "the 17th is called (day) of moving in, when Bel has vanquished his enemies. The 18th is called (day) of lamentation, at which one throws from the roof Kingu and his 40 sons." Kingu had the epithet "Enmesharra," i.e . ...
355. Mulholland: "A Celestial Mechanician Whose Name is Almost Synonymous with High Precision" [Journals] [Kronos]
... mind. About half-way through the evening session, Velikovsky had an opportunity to reply to some of Mulholland's charges, especially the claim that the records do not indicate orbital changes in ancient times. Velikovsky's remarks here are also applicable to Huber, who had likewise denied the ancient records of catastrophes. VELIKOVSKY : Now on this let me say: calendars were changed repeatedly. Professor Mulholland, to whom I did not answer [in the morning] on his paper because it's too much to answer, yet he raised several question[s ], like [the] question [of] whether the clocks could be transferred, Egyptian clocks that were found and do not represent the proper ...
356. Venus and Sirius: Some Unexpected Similarities [Journals] [Kronos]
... synodic period as 584 days, the nearest whole number to its actual average value, 583.92 days. It so happens that 5 x 584 = 8 x 365, so that five synodic periods of Venus exactly correspond to eight Vague Years. It is an even more remarkable coincidence that in 104 Vague Years, or two times the Calendar Round which coordinates the 260-day count and the Vague Year, there are exactly 146 260-day counts and 65 Venus periods. Among the heavenly bodies, only the moon could not be coordinated into this grand system. Small wonder that the Mesoamericans considered their calendar to be divine."(75) It seems clear, then, that Sirius ...
357. Zetetic Scholar Nos. 3 & 4 April 1979 [Articles]
... BC, the year had a length of just 360 days (3 ); but, if borne out, it would not imply a complete rejection of Velikovsky's theory, or even of that part of it which postulates a catastrophic sequence at that time. It would simply mean that such events as there were had no permanent effect on the calendar. The necessary adjustment, in terms of the specific theory, might be large, or it might be small: it would not shake the foundations of the general theory. And the very presence of these "epagomenal days" in numerous calendars, considered inauspicious by the Egyptians (and coincidentally called "unlucky days" by the Maya ...
358. When Venus Was A Comet [Journals] [Kronos]
... with these structures are religious traditions which would appear to be of extreme antiquity. That many of these religious traditions were astronomically oriented seems to be the consensus among scholars. David Kelley, for example, has observed: "It has been clear to all serious students of Mesoamerican culture that there was an intimate relationship between astronomical knowledge, the calendar, and religious beliefs and rituals."(2 ) Susan Milbrath has recently reiterated this view: "A number of scholars agree that the fundamental nature of the ancient Mesoamerican pantheon is astronomical."(3 ) A prominent characteristic of Mesoamerican astronomy, immediately apparent, was an obsession with the observation and worship of the planet Venus ...

... , time lapses, and contradictions. I have addressed the problem of the numbers in the Exodus in this spirit. The problem of the great ages of Moses and others by modern standards continues to baffle one. One possibility is some electrical and/or atmospheric effect upon life duration. Another possibility is the calculation of ages by a different calendar, perhaps one of 260 days such as obtained in earliest times among the Mayans and other Meso-Americans and persisted as a sacred calendar after they knew and practiced a contemporary calendar. Then at 120 years of age, Moses would have lived 31,200 days. Measured on the year base of 365 days, he would be 85 years ...
360. Worlds In Collision. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... years that followed I came upon many references in ancient Chinese sources to the halting of the sun- but that morning, while making a list of books to read on the Mayas and Aztecs, I was intrigued by the title of a book (1 ) by Étienne Brasseur de Bourbourg, a French Americanologist, who pioneered in reading the Mayan calendar, numerals, and other pictorial signs and texts. A day or two later I took out that little book. In it Brasseur tries to prove that in ancient times there was traffic between Egypt and America and that the American continent had repeatedly been subjected to great catastrophes. He expanded on this subject of catastrophes that befell America in ...
