... East for many centuries by the date -763. Because of the method of derivation of this data, it cannot be accepted within the framework of a reconstructed chronology; at least for the present it is impossible to calculate solar or lunar eclipses happening before the repeated calendric changes (following changes in the movements of the earth and/or the moon) - during the 8th and 7th centuries. This also applies to calculations rectifying the Egyptian Calendar of 365 days for the period before the Mars catastrophes. Concerning eclipses, the situation during and before the calendar changes is further complicated by the question whether indeed these were produced by earth and moon only; Mars, of course, could ...
672. Solomon's Temple: An Astronomical Observatory [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... prior knowledge of earthquakes, floods, and rising comets. They carefully recorded this information. It would seem probable that, from their data, where extant, we can reconstruct certain orbits just as they observed them. As a catastrophist I understand Diodorus to mean that the Egyptians were aware that the close passage of another planet or of the moon could cause earthquakes or floods. One Egyptian report,6 for example, actually states that the people of Africa were terrified when the moon grew large. With these considerations in the background, then, I will begin my discussion of Solomon's temple. To try to reconstruct the astronomical views of ancient man I have chosen that holy structure ...
673. More Problems with Sothic Dating [Journals] [SIS Review]
... though he was using an Egyptian calendar that was out by 41 days [2 ]. The Egyptian calendar deduced from Theon can be used to produce matches that, in all but one case, result in all the lunar ( 'Babylonian') months beginning within, at most, a day or two of first visibility of the new moon at Elephantine. In most cases, this involves placing the document about a year later in the reign of the king involved, although in some cases the regnal year is uncertain and my placement differs by more than a year. In one instance (document K8, discussed below) I place the document in the reign of Darius I ...
674. Phobos And Deimos [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Planetary Satellites, edited by Burns, page 5), George Abell (Exploration of the Universe, page 258), and Gerald Hawkins (Splendor in the Sky, page 127). It is interesting that Hawkins describes Phobos and Deimos as "astronomical impossibilities; they could not have condensed from material in the original proto-planet like the other moons in the solar systems." He also states: "Perhaps they are artificial satellites, the last fling of a civilization before it perished." (See also, Shklovskii and Sagan, pages 362-376.) A little later, on page 129, Hawkins speaks of a time "when we are able to visit Mars in person ...
675. In Search of the Exodus [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... several penetrations of Palestine by tribes of diverse affiliation. In the context of divine kingship, however, transferred upon and around the human figure of Joshua, we might perceive at this juncture that the editor has rationalized what was essentially wholly divine in the original material at his disposal. It was god(s ) who made the sun and moon stand still, who rained down great stones from heaven, and reduced cities to rubble and ruin as the earth heaved-and exterminated their inhabitants. [13] At the same time god(s ) decimated Achan, a clan of Judah the chosen, in the valley of Achor (Joshua 7:26) by means of stones and ...
676. The Trouble With Aztex [Journals] [Kronos]
... have shared this with my readers. Fair is fair. What is not is the insinuation that Bass misled his audience. If anybody was misled, it could only be because he or she misunderstood. XI Ellenberger must have thought me an easy mark when he accused me of confusing Jupiter's "prograde inner satellites" with the planet's "Galilean moons". I am not that ignorant of basic astronomy not to know the difference. Neither am I so poor a reader as to have misunderstood J. M. Bailey's paper on the subject(57)- especially when diagrams of the system can be understood by a schoolboy. When criticism is conducted at this level, it becomes ...

... . 85, and SISR IV:4 , p. 84. Despite the several errors that Keister and Hamilton made in their paper(1 ) and defence,(2 ) they were correct that a Lyttleton-type fissioning is irrelevant to the purported origin of Venus from Jupiter. I now realize after studying O'Keefe's work on the origin of the Moon by the fission of proto-Earth,(3 ) that once a dense core forms in a rotating body it would no longer participate in a fissioning such as that contemplated by Lyttleton and O'Keefe. Clearly, if Venus originated from a Jovian planet by fission, the rocky body observed today would be the residue from a much larger body after ...
680. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Eye of Heaven [Books]
... gods.5 The Avestan Mithra, the yazata of light, has " 10,000 eyes,6high, with full knowledge (perethu-vaedhayana), strong, sleepless, and ever awake (jaghaurvaunghem)."7 The supreme god Ahura Mazda also has one Eye,8or else it is said that "with his eyes, the sun moon and stars, he sees everything."9 The, theory that Mithra was originally a title of the supreme heavens-god-putting the sun out of court-is the only one that answers all requirements. It will be evident that here we have origins in abundance for the Freemason's Eye and its " nunquam dormio." A Chinese constellation is called " ...
