Book excerpt: US research of earth-moon mechanics by late NASA astrophysicist Robert Newton leads Russian mathematicians to a breakthrough in the chronology of The Revelations of St John. The astronomical aspect of The Apocalypse stayed hidden for centuries. 'The Apocalypse as seen by Astronomy' has resurrected the astrological, i.e; astronomical ideas contained in The Apocalypse and extracted from it the precise date of its composition on the Isle of Patmos! St Augustin was quite right saying; "..beware of mathematicians, especially when they speak the truth! ".The Apocalypse - The Book of Revelation is the only apocalyptic document in the New Testament. It does not refer to actual people or events but is an allegory of the spiritual path and the ongoing struggle between good and evil, but contains nevertheless clues relative to its composition. An enormous body of learned research, centuries of heated discussions by different clerical schools about the origins, time and place of writing of The Revelations of St John has literally buried precious bits of verifiable astronomic data.The only moment on the time axis when the constellations of the night sky visible from the Isle Patmos correspond to the verbal Zodiac contained in the Revelations date to October 1486 A.D. and not to 56 A.D.! Note that the very text of the Revelations was for the first time included by Erasmus in the New Testament he printed in 1515 A.D in Geneva. This text of the Revelations was provided to Erasmus by Johan Reuchlin, his predecessor, founder of Hebraism and master astrologist.A significant part of mediaeval literature contains astrological texts, especially astronomical tractates up until Kepler's age and even after that. The existence of several competing astrological schools led to the use of lavish symbolism by mediaeval astrologers, which makes it hard to speak of unified astrological definitions. Furthermore, each school developed its own linguistic and symbolic system. However, we shall soon see that many countries have surprisingly enough used a more or less uniform astrological symbolic system - for zodiacal constellations, for example. This can mean that astrology was born relatively recently, in the epoch when the means of communication between the astronomers of different countries had already been developed well enough to provide for regular information exchange and a similar astrological language - in Europe and in Egypt, for instance. It would be expedient to remind the reader that the modern names for planets have been introduced by astrologers. The names for days of the week in such languages as English, French, and German are also in direct relation to astrological concepts.'The Apocalypse as seen by Astronomy' is just one of the facets of. New Chronology theory, Dr. Fomenko et al as scientists are ready to recognize at sight the alleged mistakes of New Chronology theory, to repent and to retract if and only if:- radiocarbon dating methods or dendrochronology pass the clear anonymous 'black box' tests;- astronomic data refutes their results on solar eclipses;- it is proven irrefutably that Robert Newton (NASA astrophysicist) was wrong calling 'ancient' Ptolemy the greatest con man in history in his 'Crime of Claudius Ptolemy' ; At present historians heed the prescient advice of Saint Augustin and are not willing to apply to history the toolbox of exact sciences. Beware of the Occam's razor, as their beautiful web of lies is too fragile! The radiocarbon dating labs run their very costly tests only if is the sample to be dated is accompanied with an idea of age pronounced by historians on basis of...subjective..mmm...gutfeeling and the history books they have been writing for the last 400 years. Radiocarbon labs happily bill for their fiddling and fine tuning with C14 hardware to get the dates 'to order' of historians. Circulus Vicious is perfect.

Download or read book Apocalyptic Anxiety written by Anthony Aveni and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apocalyptic Anxiety traces the sources of American culture’s obsession with predicting and preparing for the apocalypse. Author Anthony Aveni explores why Americans take millennial claims seriously, where and how end-of-the-world predictions emerge, how they develop within a broader historical framework, and what we can learn from doomsday predictions of the past. The book begins with the Millerites, the nineteenth-century religious sect of Pastor William Miller, who used biblical calculations to predict October 22, 1844 as the date for the Second Advent of Christ. Aveni also examines several other religious and philosophical movements that have centered on apocalyptic themes—Christian millennialism, the New Age movement and the Age of Aquarius, and various other nineteenth- and early twentieth-century religious sects, concluding with a focus on the Maya mystery of 2012 and the contemporary prophets who connected the end of the world as we know it with the overturning of the Maya calendar. Apocalyptic Anxiety places these seemingly never-ending stories of the world’s end in the context of American history. This fascinating exploration of the deep historical and cultural roots of America’s voracious appetite for apocalypse will appeal to students of American history and the histories of religion and science, as well as lay readers interested in American culture and doomsday prophecies.

Download or read book History Fiction Or Science written by Anatoly Fomenko and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-16 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History: Fiction or Science? is the most explosive tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by solid scientific data. Mainstream history 'science' says that after some 1000 years of sound sleep Europeans suddenly woke up as Christians to the hilt, armed themselves and started touring-crusading Middle East during 200 years to punish at last tormentors of Jesus, searching for the Saint Sepulchre, Saint Graals, Saint spears, nails and bits of Saint Cross and other reliques and curiosities. Christians finished their tour with a bang by sacking Constatinople allegedly in 1204 a.d. Local populations became muslims, crusaded back and built a Caliphate that span from Arabia to Morocco and North Africa, took Constantinople in 1453 a.d. Dr. Fomenko calls all this 'science' wrong. The Europeans did not hibernate for 1000 years before going after the wrongdoers. Dr. Fomenko's New Chronology sees the history of the world religions as follows: the pre-Christian period (prior to XI c. and Jesus Christ), Bacchic hristianity (XI-XII c., before and after Jesus Christ), Jesus Christ Christianity (XII-XIV c.) with its subsequent mutations in XV-XVII centuries into Orthodox Christianity, the Catholic Christianity, Protestant Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc. Religious wars were a way of life. Dr. Fomenko does forensics with Occam's razor on the beautiful body of the world history. Its skeleton looks very different from one of the mainstream history. The author sees it very much compressed: all real events that took place over 1200 years ago as well as people who allegedly acted in them are simply unknown to us and will stay so forever. Ancient Egypt, Europe, Rome, China, India, etc..etc histories are simply figmental prior to that date. Homo sapience could neither read, nor write as yet. That was actually prehistory. Everything that is told to us about events that happened 1200 years ago is fiction. Human 'civilization' has yet to be worked out by homo sapience crowd. Civilisation started its relentless march with lots of sweat, blood and tears only about 800 a.d. Civilisation has developed its major features like writing, communications, religions and arts, centralised civil and military management only by 1000 a.d. Homo sapience sapiences did not sit on their hands - they applied immediately what they discovered and invented. Dr Fomenko et al. suspect that: Jesus Christ was born in 1152 a.d. and crucified in 1185 a.d. Both the New and the Old Testaments refer to mediaeval events. Apocalypse was written in 1486 a.d. Does this sound uncanny? This version of events is substantiated by hard facts and logic, validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources - to a greater extent than everything you may have read and heard about history before. The dominating historical discourse in its current state was essentially crafted in the XVI century from a rather contradictory jumble of sources such as innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts whose originals had vanished in the Dark Ages and the allegedly irrefutable proof offered by late mediaeval astronomers, resting upon the power of ecclesial authorities. Nearly all of its components are blatantly untrue! For some of us, it shall possibly be quite disturbing to see the magnificent edifice of classical history turn into a snake pit of mediaeval politics. Twice so, in fact: the first time, millenarian dust on the ancient marble turn into a mere layer of dirt. The second, and greater, attack of unease comes with the awareness of just how many areas of human knowledge still trust the three elephants of the consensual chronology to support them. Dr. Fomenko et al. are waiting to repent and retract if exact sciences produce valid objective refutations thereof.

Download or read book History Prophecy and the Stars written by Laura Ackerman Smoller and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although astrology was viewed with suspicion by the medieval church, it became a major area of inquiry for the renowned cardinal and scholar Pierre d'Ailly, whose astrological and apocalyptic writings had a significant influence on Christopher Columbus. D'Ailly's writings on the stars, the focus of this book, clearly illustrate the complex relationships among astrology, science, and Christian thinking in the late Middle Ages. Through an examination of his letters, sermons, and philosophical, astrological, and theological treatises, Laura Ackerman Smoller reveals astrology's appeal as a scientific means to interpret history and prophecy, and not merely as a magical way to forecast and manipulate one's own fate. At the same time, she shows how d'Ailly dealt with delicate problems--such as free will and God's omnipotence--in elevating astrology to a compelling, but not always consistent, "natural theology." The French cardinal's most intriguing prediction was for the advent of Antichrist in 1789, one that stemmed from his deep concern over the Great Schism (1378-1414). Smoller maintains that the division in the church led d'Ailly to fear the imminence of the apocalypse, and that he eventually turned to astrology to quell his apocalyptic fears, thereby gaining confidence that a church council could heal the Schism. In elucidating the place of astrology in medieval society, this book also affords a personal glimpse of a man facing a profound crisis. Originally published in 1994.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A remarkable and gifted debut novel” (Colson Whitehead) about two outsiders—a lonely scientist in the Arctic and an astronaut trying to return to Earth—as they grapple with love, regret, and survival in a world transformed. THE INSPIRATION FOR THE NETFLIX ORIGINAL FILM THE MIDNIGHT SKY, DIRECTED BY AND STARRING GEORGE CLOONEY Augustine, a brilliant, aging astronomer, is consumed by the stars. For years he has lived in remote outposts, studying the sky for evidence of how the universe began. At his latest posting, in a research center in the Arctic, news of a catastrophic event arrives. The scientists are forced to evacuate, but Augustine stubbornly refuses to abandon his work. Shortly after the others have gone, Augustine discovers a mysterious child, Iris, and realizes that the airwaves have gone silent. They are alone. At the same time, Mission Specialist Sullivan is aboard the Aether on its return flight from Jupiter. The astronauts are the first human beings to delve this deep into space, and Sully has made peace with the sacrifices required of her: a daughter left behind, a marriage ended. So far the journey has been a success. But when Mission Control falls inexplicably silent, Sully and her crewmates are forced to wonder if they will ever get home. As Augustine and Sully each face an uncertain future against forbidding yet beautiful landscapes, their stories gradually intertwine in a profound and unexpected conclusion. In crystalline prose, Good Morning, Midnight poses the most important questions: What endures at the end of the world? How do we make sense of our lives? Lily Brooks-Dalton’s captivating debut is a meditation on the power of love and the bravery of the human heart.

Download or read book The History and Practice of Ancient Astronomy written by James Evans and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-10-01 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History and Practice of Ancient Astronomy combines new scholarship with hands-on science to bring readers into direct contact with the work of ancient astronomers. While tracing ideas from ancient Babylon to sixteenth-century Europe, the book places its greatest emphasis on the Greek period, when astronomers developed the geometric and philosophical ideas that have determined the subsequent character of Western astronomy. The author approaches this history through the concrete details of ancient astronomical practice. Carefully organized and generously illustrated, the book can teach readers how to do real astronomy using the methods of ancient astronomers. For example, readers will learn to predict the next retrograde motion of Jupiter using either the arithmetical methods of the Babylonians or the geometric methods of Ptolemy. They will learn how to use an astrolabe and how to design sundials using Greek and Roman techniques. The book also contains supplementary exercises and patterns for making some working astronomical instruments, including an astrolabe and an equatorium. More than a presentation of astronomical methods, the book provides a critical look at the evidence used to reconstruct ancient astronomy. It includes extensive excerpts from ancient texts, meticulous documentation, and lively discussions of the role of astronomy in the various cultures. Accessible to a wide audience, this book will appeal to anyone interested in how our understanding of our place in the universe has changed and developed, from ancient times through the Renaissance.
