422. A Conversation with Barry Fell [Journals] [Horus]
... skills in yet another field and soon became a leading authority on the decipherment and translation of ancient inscriptions. An intriguing confirmation of his mastery involved the decipherment and reading of an ancient Celtic Ogam rock inscription found in Wyoming County, West Virginia. As translated by Fell, it identified Christmas day as the winter solstice (as in the Julian calendar before the Gregorian reform) and alluded to a verifying visual display that could be seen at winter solstice Sunrise. The inscription called for the Sun's first rays to graze "the notch on the left side. . . " Researchers who sought to confirm the solstice phenomenon at first thought that "notch" referred to a distant cleft between ...
423. Darkness Over Sinai (Where was Moses when the light went out?) [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... our own era - Lamech clocking in at 58 years and Methuselah at a respectable 72 and a half! The Bible being a collection of books of different dates, it is quite conceivable that when they were committed to writing the scribes accepted ages in years at face value - not questioning whether they were lunar or solar ones. The Hebrew calendar is said to be based on lunar months and solar years. It is by no means certain that the relationship between these orbitary systems was known to the Israelites or their predecessors. It is not generally appreciated that what is today virtually an elementary school subject for young children, to work out equipped with a scratchpad, pencil, calculator ...
424. A Hypothetical Ancient Telescope [Journals] [Horus]
... is, resolved into a combination of circular motions. This allowed the ancient astronomers to determine that the Moon was slower at its apogee and faster at its perigee, in accordance with the later discovered laws of Johannes Kepler in the 17th Century. It also allowed the ancient astronomers to predict solar and lunar eclipses, and allowed solar and lunar calendars to be set down with great accuracy. The Alpine Valley on the Moon [NASA] Having accomplished this, there was not a great deal to say about the physical nature of the Moon or planets by Ptolemy or the other cosmologists. Not one lunar drawing was found before the 16th century. The later copyists, who immortalized Ptolemy's ...

426. In Remembrance of Janek [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Irma and Janek first met in Toronto, Canada and were later married in London. Wed for 35 years, Irma was his constant companion throughout and we send our heartfelt sympathy to her on her devastating loss, as also to the family. Up-to-the-minute daily news, televised sports, reading and researching (especially on ancient history and ancient calendars) were just a few of Janek's interests but, as was discovered, he was also an avid fisherman and loved seeking out rare mushrooms. In 1992 he began assisting the Polish Retired Housing Association and, already passionate about ancient civilisations, also decided to concentrate on the subject in a more detailed way. At one point he had ...

... the time of Ashurbanipal mentions that, on the 28th, 29th and 30th of the month, he prepared for the observation of an eclipse; but the sun continued brilliant, and the eclipse did not take place." (All emphases added.)- The above quotation was included in the original manuscript of my paper- "The Calendar"- which appeared in AEON VI:4 (August 2003), pages 104 and following. But, because I could not supply a reference for the quotation, the editor saw fit to delete it- and rightly so. The problem was that, while I retained a copy of the quotation, I mislaid the source from ...
428. Assyro-Babylonian Chronology In the 620's B.C. [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Uruk king-list refers to the Year 626/25, or to some other time-period, within the years 627/26 and 626/25. As the Uruk king-list assigns months to the reign of Neriglissar and includes the months only reign of Labashi-Marduk, then we may consider that the Year of Sin-shum-lishir and Sin-shar-ishkun may have been other than a calendar year.- The reasons for this and the exclusion of the Year 627/26 from consideration are set out below. However, the two BM Chronicles 40039 and 25127 are still nevertheless correct,- (an accession year counts as the last year of the immediately preceding ruler, and in this case there was none)-because ...
