Douglas The Greeks, Romans, and Chinese. used an abacus in the form of sliding beads on wires which were based on or compatible with the decimal or duodecimal (base 12) system. The earliest evidence we have for the abacus is from the 3rd or 4th Century B.C . It may have originated as a means of keeping a record of calculations done by finger reckoning. The decimal and biquinary (two fives) are directly related, and by using the thumb as a pointer, one can count to 12 on the ...
152. Paradise -- The Lost Frontier: Early Voyages to the Forbidden Isles [Journals] [Aeon]
... marked him as someone whom God must have thought worthy of special honors. Due to such remarkable achievements, the mariner became the top candidate for 17th century romantic historians who sought to portray New World conquest as a divinely inspired drama. [16] There were doubts among Columbus' royal patrons and commercial sponsors after he failed to contact the Chinese emperor (or Khan). They were also concerned that Admiral Columbus seemed unable to find the thriving ports described in Marco Polo's Travels, nor did his ships return with the vast hoards of gold and spices that had been promised. In 1497, King Ferdinand sent his own agent, Amerigo Vespucci, to try and figure out what ...

... on the birth of a new star in the days of Joshua? They are not. It is written in a Samaritan chronicle that during the invasion of Palestine by the Israelites under Joshua, a new star was born in the east: "A star arose out of the east against which all magic is vain."(24) Chinese chronicles record that "a brilliant star appeared in the days of Yahu [Yahou]."(25) 16.

154. The Uranians [Books] [de Grazia books]
... to fission and to retire, the magnetic tube weakened and the secondary orbits of the dense planets were reduced in diameter around the principal axis of the system. The Earth lost charge, and close-in sky vapors began to condense and fall. Also, holes were chopped in the adamantine heaven - by the creator God, Panku, says the Chinese legend. These would be extensive meteor bombardments, many of them of ice. Great lightning discharges struck between canopies, clouds and land surfaces, with sporadic deluges. The sky waters descended, gathered into clouds, and cooled the near-in atmosphere. The land waters overflowed. Heavy winds blew for the first time. THE ICE DUMPS Where ...
155. The Tertiary Satellite immediately before its Cataclysmic Breakdown (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... ' in the heavens. Itzamna, one of the most important Maya deities, the father of gods and man, was a Moon-god, and the tutelar deity of the west. Olokun, the chief deity of the Yorubas, took it upon himself to watch the west, it being the most important cardinal point in his mind. The Chinese say that it is only since the new order of things has come about that the stars move from east to west. After the breakdown of the Tertiary satellite its debris, like a great shooting-star stream, had rushed over the heavens from west to east. Moreover the signs of the Chinese zodiac have the strange peculiarity of proceeding against ...

... an Aryan invasion in 1500BC. There was a ruler, Manu, 6th of that name, in the time of the flood. He also had a boat on a mountain-top. Several Indian genealogies trace back to Manu. Most have 6 generations to the Iranian, Yayidi, as does Jactin (who went East) from Noah. The Chinese have the most complete historical tradition - civilisation began with 3 kings and 5 emperors. The first two kings were 17 generations apart, then 5, subsequently consecutive. Writing and other accomplishments are introduced as in the Bible. In the time of the second last emperor there was a flood. Emperor Shun appointed Yu, who took 13 ...

... , the ancestors of the stone age tribes of today drew figures that appear to describe Venus [22]. One depicts an owl-like creature with hands, feet, feathers, owl-tail, owl-eyes, and owl-head. It is painted in ocher. (It is doubtful that there were owls in pre-colonial Australia.) Figure 32. The Imperial Chinese Dragon Robes The Kang Hsi emperor (1662-1722) wearing the traditional dragon robes, (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Rogers Fund, 1942.) Another painting shows a serpent-woman between whose hands is arched what is probably a lightning-bolt. And still another reveals a person called "Thunderman" who holds a lightning bolt in his hands. ...
158. A Maya Record of Two Thousand Years? [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... degrees F occurred in -1100, and the temperature remained low for nearly 200 years. Certainly this major climatic catastrophe in China was felt world-wide and could have been the result of gigantic volcanic explosions and earthquakes which were followed by more of the same for many years as isostacy was approached. The period -1155 to -996 in Table 1 fits the Chinese record rather well. The high altitude ash blanketing the earth under such conditions might prevent stellar observations and suggests the notion that the aberrant numbers define periods of astronomical uncertainty. The approximate date of the sharp temperature drop, -1155in Table 1, suggests an explanation for the break in the long uncertainty period, -1561 to -996. From a ...

... assigned as the guardian of Gah - "the great one of the middle of the sky" - who was the Pole Star.(51) In China, the planet Saturn is called Tchou-niou-tchi-chin, a name that translates as "Genie [or spirit] of the Pivot."(52) This Pivot, however, which in Chinese is rendered as T'ien-Tchou, that is "pivot of the sky," was their name for the Pole Star.(53) Thus, when the Chinese refer to Saturn as the "Genie of the Pivot," they are claiming that Saturn was the "Soul of the Pole Star." In Sanskrit, the Pole Star ...

... 2300 BC. The people had luxury goods, bronze axes, fine ceramics, gold jewelry etc. and stone seals with incised symbols indicate they had a form of writing. The symbols, which seem fairly advanced, are unlike the writing systems of contemporary' Mesopotamia, Iran or the Indus but the only reason advanced for their not being Chinese was because Chinese writing only developed hundreds of years later. Do we detect the presence of yet another chronological anomaly? This Bactria Margiana Archaeology Complex (BMAC) is found in an area thought to have been remote from trade and cultural exchange until the Silk Road developed in the 2nd century BC, an unlikely one and a half millennia ...
