... truly religious anniversary celebration is therefore ambivalently tragic and joyful. Anniversary excesses and orgies, at both extremes of somberness and exuberance, are nevertheless occasions for the relief of tragic memory, more or less deeply suppressed. Anniversaries cluster around the great cycles of the ages, which give evidence of having been common to most of the world's cultures. Calendar diversions, not psychological changes, have driven apart the anniversaries of different cultures; they are farther apart in days than they are in mind. The end of the year inspires saturnalia in many cultures. Also thus, Roman Catholic and Greek churches mark a different Easter holiday for unessential reasons. Anniversaries sometimes are pulled together in a given ...
392. Nova of Super Uranus and Ejection of the Moon [Books] [de Grazia books]
... not "baffling" (de Santillana and von Dechend, p303) in the context of early human existence. But these and similar stories in the Teutonic, Greek, Roman, Hindu, Iranian, Mexican, Egyptian, and archaic (" primitive") religions are baffling in regard to their positioning in time. Given an empirically established calendar, a general review of the early literature may assign a period to them. Tentatively, we assign these earliest theomachies to the period of Super Uranian instability and the climactic nova of Super Uranus that drastically changed the face of the Earth. According to Hindu accounts (Brown, pp281-9), while Adityas and Vitras fought in that troubled ...

394. The Woman Who Wondered (Prof. Dr. Hertha von Dechend) [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Greek scientific approach of Ionian naturalism, followed by the geometry of Hippocrates of Chios, c. 450 BCE and Eudoxus, 408-355 BCE, and the beginnings of our modern scientific method. This knowledge was subsequently expressed in a "language" which utilized art, myth, legend, and religion, as well as such functional applications as the calendar, musical scale, and the alphabet. A book-cover blurb quoting the French savant, Charles François Dupuis, that: "Mythology is the work of science; science alone will explain it," is well-intentioned window dressing, and only suggests what wonders are contained in the book. The authors' sense of wonder was profound, their ...

397. The Foundations of the Assyro-Babylonian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... time to time the statement is made that the Eponym Canon is firmly anchored to a solar eclipse that took place according to the Canon in the month of Simanu (= May/June) of the eponymy of Pur-Sagale. Modern astronomers have identified this eclipse with an almost total eclipse that took place on June 15, 763 BC (Julian calendar). But if this identification is in error, it is held, the whole Assyrian chronology would lose its anchor and might be incorrect to a greater or lesser extent. It is even claimed that the chronologies of the other nations of the ancient Near East are fixed to the Assyrian chronology in such a way that they are all ...

400. New Paper on Bronze Age Catastrophes [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... island of Santorini in the Aegean, or the apparent collapse of Middle Bronze Age settlement in upland Britain are headline news; of such things myths and reputations are born and enter the literature as if proven fact. This paper examines some of the available evidence for these two Bronze Age catastrophes', the one real and in need of a calendar date, the other hypothesized on archaeological grounds and dated by a tenuous link through tree rings to an Icelandic volcano. Since Marinatos (1939) connected a major eruption on Santorini, which destroyed the extensive Late Bronze Age town at Akrotiri, with the end of Minoan Crete, the date of this eruption has generated more discussion and controversy ...
