If you roll the clock back at Giza to Julian date 0000.0000 (01/01/4713 BC noon GMT) you find that Sirius, this most important of celestial markers to the ancient Egyptians, is in a very significant location at 33° below the Eastern horizon. Now, the chances of rolling a calendar, any calendar, back exactly to its origin (over 6,700 years ago!) at exactly the place we would expect to be most significant, and finding exactly the astronomical body we would expect to find in one of the few significant altitudes we would expect to find it, is, well, astronomical! Keeping in mind that the Julian calendar is timed out to the minute, and that Caesar certainly understood the significance of Sirius, we cannot fathom any other conclusion than that this is a product of intentional design! So, we have yet another indisputable confirmation of our Egyptian alignment astronomical model -- this stunning example, at the literal heart of a calendrical system still in use world wide -- not just by NASA ... but by the entire astronomical community.

The placement of this star at 33° is a clear signal that Sosigenes understood the coded basics and symbolic importance of tetrahedral physics. Now it came as no great surprise to us that the starting point of this calendar would be marked by a sacred acknowledgement of the importance of Sirius. Any calendar based in the Egyptian astronomical mysteries the way this one was would almost have to mark its origins with respect to this most sacred star. What is haunting us is the next question: why did Caesar and Sosigenes go all the way back to the predynastic era to "start" their calendar? The Roman civil calendar previously in use had dated from the founding of the city by Romulus and Remus in 753 BC (Gregorian). Why not anchor the new Roman calendar from this same date? Why go all the way back to 4713 BC?

The argument of "mainstream" history is that they didn't ...

Joseph Justus Scaliger

Although this system of dating, called the Julian day numbering system, is usually attributed to Joseph Justus Scaliger (born 1540-08-05 J in Agen, France, died 1609-01-21 J in Leiden, Holland), there is ample evidence that he in fact did not invent it. Scaliger was one of Clavius' advisors, and is generally considered to have been one of the founders of the science of chronology. Scaliger combined three traditionally recognized temporal cycles of 28, 19 and 15 years to obtain a great cycle, the Scaliger cycle, or Julian period, of 7980 years (7980 is the least common multiple of 28, 19 and 15). According to the Encyclopedia Britannica:

"Chronological system now used chiefly by astronomers and based on the consecutive numbering of days from Jan. 1, 4713 BC. Not to be confused with the Julian calendar, the Julian period was proposed by the scholar Joseph Justus Scaliger in 1583 and named by him for his father, Julius Caesar Scaliger. Joseph Scaliger proposed a period of 7,980 years of numbered days to be used in determining time elapsed between various historical events otherwise recorded only in different chronologies, eras, or calendars. The length of 7,980 years was chosen as the product of 28 times 19 times 15; these, respectively, are the numbers of years in the so-called solar cycle of the Julian calendar in which dates recur on the same days of the week; the lunar or Metonic cycle, after which the phases of the Moon recur on a particular day in the solar year, or year of the seasons; and the cycle of indiction, originally a schedule of periodic taxes or government requisitions in ancient Rome. The epoch, or starting point, of 4713 BC was chosen as the nearest past year in which the three cycles began together. 

Contrary to the statement above, the "Julian period" was not named for Scaliger's father, Julius Caesar Scaliger. In his De Emandatione Temporum (1583; "Study on the Improvement of Time") Scaliger writes: "Julianam vocauimus, quia ad annum Julianum accommodata ..." (translated by R. L. Reese et al. (3) as "We have termed it Julian because it fits the Julian year ...").

And according to the US Naval Observatory:

"In the 16th century Joseph Justus Scaliger tried to resolve the patchwork of historical eras by placing everything on a single system. Not being ready to deal with negative year counts, he sought an initial epoch in advance of any historical record. His approach was numerological and utilized three calendrical cycles: the 28-year solar cycle, the 19-year cycle of Golden Numbers, and the 15-year indiction cycle. The solar cycle is the period after which week days and calendar dates repeat in the Julian calendar. The cycle of Golden Numbers is the period after which moon phases repeat (approximately) on the same calendar dates. The indiction cycle was a Roman tax cycle of unknown origin. Therefore, Scaliger could characterize a year by the combination of numbers (S,G,I), where S runs from 1 through 28, G from 1 through 19, and I from 1 through 15. Scaliger first stated that a given combination would recur after 7980 (= 28 x 19 x 15) years. He called this a Julian cycle because it was based on the Julian calendar. Scaliger knew that the year of Christ's birth (as determined by Dionysius Exiguus) was characterized by the number 9 of the solar cycle, by Golden Number 1, and by number 3 of the indiction cycle, or (9,1,3). Then Scaliger chose as this initial epoch the year characterized by (1,1,1) and determined that (9,1,3) was year 4713 of his chronological era. Scaliger's initial epoch was later to be adopted as the initial epoch for the Julian Day numbers."

In other words, the conventional wisdom is that the 4713 BC "zero point" of the Julian calendar comes not from Caesar and Sosigenes, but from a 16th century Catholic astronomer. This is not the case, however.

Roger, Bishop of Hereford, discusses the three cycles used by Scaliger in his Compotus (written in 1176 CE) and states that "these three ... do not come together at one point for 7980 years", although he does not identify the year (4713 B.C.) of their coincidence. Furthermore, according to R. L. Reese et al. ("New evidence concerning the origin of the Julian period", American Journal of Physics, vol. 59 (1991), 1043.):

"A 12th-century manuscript indicates that the 7980-year period was used explicitly for calendrical purposes by an earlier Bishop of Hereford, Robert de Losinga, in the year A.D. 1086, almost a century before the Bishop of Hereford named Roger. ... Robert de Losinga combines the solar, lunar and indiction cycles into a "great cycle [magnum ciclum]" of 7980 years ... Thus the manuscript by Robert de Losinga places the earliest known use of the Julian period in the year A.D. 1086."

So the use of the Julian period, the anchoring of the Julian calendar to 4713 BC, goes back almost a thousand years. Given that Caesar and Sosigenes both had knowledge of Lunar and Solar cycles and obviously the Roman cycle of indiction, it seems likely to us that they could have come to the same conclusion. As it stands, we are not aware of any firm information concerning the original start date of Caesar's calendar.

If we assume for the moment that Caesar and Sosigenes did understand the importance of the Sirius anchor to their calendar system, and were aware of the coincidence of the three cycles in 4713 BC, what is the meaning of this anchor point so long ago, other than the simple homage to the goddess Isis?

Article by Ralph Miller

Since I wrote the first article about the DaVinci Code, I have received emails from readers who have suggested that there is more information contained within Leonardo DaVinci's drawing "Proportions of the Human Figure". I have continued researching the subject myself as well. In order to give some more of the information, I decided to write this second installment. I would also like to thank those who have sent me these ideas.

There seems to be a connection between all things. In other words, the nature of reality itself, or at least what we would consider consensual reality or 3D, seems to be holographic in nature. Each part of nature contains clues that unlock the puzzle of all the rest of reality, or to the whole of creation. DaVinci's drawing contains incredible information that shows the connection between humans and all of reality. There is a geometry hidden within the human body that reflects the geometry in everything else.

During an Ayahuasca journey, many people experience a perception of everything as part of an extraordinary mathematical equation. They see themselves in mathematical form. From nature around them to even their thoughts and emotions, everything is somehow represented as part of a beautiful mathematical geometry. Ayahuasca unlocks or awakens the visionary brain. The visionary brain completes the human ability to perceive. It unlocks the capacity of a greater seat of understanding that is located in the heart.

This expanded perception of reality cannot be simply intellectualized. We are used to conceptualizing ideas with our 'thinking' minds, and this is far too elaborate and complicated to grasp at that level. There is however, an expanded state of consciousness that elicits a 'knowing'. Knowing is quite different from 'understanding.' This knowing relies on a perception and trust that comes from the heart. It is very strange, because as soon as you trust … is as quick as you know.

Somehow 'knowing' is the feminine counterpart of masculine 'understanding'. We have had generations of conditioning around understanding, to the point where much of the art of knowing has gone dormant. This is all changing now. We are moving through a transition as humans. We are moving back to remembering our feminine selves.

The first DaVinci Code article showed step-by-step how a perfect six-pointed star could be constructed within the human figure. Some suggest that the six-pointed star also represents two three-dimensional tetrahedrons. A tetrahedron is a four-sided solid, where each side is an equilateral triangle. The two interlocking tetrahedrons together form a solid called a star tetrahedron.

The star tetrahedron also represents what some believe to be the human energy field, also called the Merkaba. I don't think any of us can be certain that the human energy field looks like this, but there are some very synchronistic relationships that are revealed.

If you place a star tetrahedron inside of a sphere, with one of the apexes of the tetrahedron at the 'North' pole and one at the 'South' pole of the sphere, then the other six apexes of the star will touch or intersect the sphere at 19.47° above and below the "equator" of the sphere.

Consider the fact that the earth is a thin solid crust that is rotating at great speed around what is basically a liquid magma center. The result is an upwelling of great force that occurs at 19.47° North and South, that seemingly comes from nowhere. In any case the result is that a large amount of volcanic activity occurs at those latitudes. It is theorized that these forces are hyper-dimensional in nature and cascade into three-dimensional reality resulting in volcanoes.

Many of the sacred sites of ancient civilizations are also located at or very near to 19.47° North or South of the earth's equator including the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan, Mexico (19°, 36' N of equator).

Further, volcanic activity is pronounced at 19.47° on other bodies in our solar system, including:

Another synchronicity that occurs in DaVinci's drawing is that you can take the two-dimensional six-pointed 'Star of David' and if you interpret it as a view of a three-dimensional object it is a perfect dipyramid. The pyramids that were constructed by the Egyptians were not 3-sided tetrahedrons but were 4-sided pyramids, because they had a square base, plus four triangular sides. A dipyramid is simply two pyramids stuck together at their base.

If you rotate the dipyramid represented by the Star of David in DaVinci's drawing, by an amount equal to 36.26° (90° minus 19.47° divided by 2) the dipyramid will move into a perfect right-angle, two-dimensional view. The pyramids of Egypt were not quite perfect pyramids, as they were constructed slightly squatty. But even so, there is definitely a connection. Remember they are located at 19.5° North latitude!

The ayahuasca journeys unfold reality into an extraordinary fractal mathematical representation. There is such a vast amount of information that is encoded into us already; it is simply a matter of unlocking the brain in order to perceive it. Somehow there is a connection between the dimensions of the human body to the earth; to the location of volcanoes; to the location of sacred sites; and to even to the pyramids themselves.

Incredible! To review, you have a perfect six-pointed Star of David in DaVinci's drawing, which can be extended into a three-dimensional star tetrahedron, unfolding a story about unknown hyper-dimensional physical forces occurring at 19.47° North and South. The two-dimensional Star of David can also be represented as a three-dimensional dipyramid, that when rotated by 35.26° which happens to be a mathematical factor of 19.47°, will return back to a two-dimensional representation of a dipyramid. Half of the dipyramid is a perfect equilateral pyramid.

The divine nature of man is hidden inside of reality itself, and the true nature of reality is hidden within humans. In our modern world we have developed myopia to such a degree, that we have collectively distorted our perception of where we really are and who we really are. But, many are making the journey back. A journey of remembering.

El Ciclo Metónico y el Saros

Royal Greenwich Observatory

Cuaderno de Información No. 5: 'El Ciclo Metónico y el Saros'.
_________________________________________________________

El Ciclo Metónico:

El astrónomo Griego Meton, en el siglo quinto A.C., descubrió que las fechas de las fases de la Luna se repetían exactamente luego de un período de 19 años.
Matemáticamente, es el hecho de que 19 años tropicales contienen 6.939,60 días, mientras que 235 meses sinódicos contienen 6.939,69 días.

Puesto que es casi igual a 20 años de eclipses, 6.932,4 días, es posible que una serie de cuatro o cinco eclipses ocurran en las mismas fechas con 19 años de diferencia.
El ciclo metónico fue usado para determinar cómo podrían insertarse los meses intercalados en un calendario Lunar para que el año del calendario y el año tropical (de las estaciones) se mantuvieran en concordancia.

El Ciclo del Saros:

Edmund Halley, asociado por la mayoría de las personas con el cometa que lleva su nombre, estaba interesado en los escritos clásicos, especialmente en aquellos concernientes a la astronomía. Él relacionó por error la referencia al ciclo de 223 meses sinódicos, del lexicógrafo Griego Suidas, con el ciclo de eclipses del mismo período. El nombre que Suidas daba al ciclo era el Saros.

Este ciclo era, casi con certeza, conocido por los antiguos Babilonios, y fue posiblemente usado por Thales, cerca del año 585 A.C.

Los eclipses de Sol y de Luna, sólo pueden ocurrir en Luna Nueva o Luna Llena, respectivamente, y estos tienen que ocurrir cerca de los nodos de la órbita de la Luna.
El tiempo entre pasajes sucesivos de la Luna a través de sus nodos es llamado el mes Dracónico, y es igual a 27,212220 días.
El tiempo entre sucesivas Lunas Nuevas o Llenas, es llamado el mes Sinódico, y es igual a 29,530589 días.

Si tomamos 223 meses sinódicos (6.585,321 días), y los comparamos con 242 meses dracónicos (6.585,357 días), podemos ver que son casi iguales. Este período es el Saros, y equivale a 18 años, 10 y un tercio días.

Esto significa que los eclipses pueden esperarse en familias cuyos miembros están separados por el largo del Saros. Así que conocer la fecha de un eclipse permite la predicción de otros.

También ocurre, que el Saros también es casi igual a 239 meses Anomalísticos (el tiempo entre dos sucesivos acercamientos máximos de la Luna a la Tierra), y así, el largo de los eclipses en cada ciclo será aproximadamente el mismo.

Glosario:

Mes Sinódico: El intervalo entre dos Lunas Nuevas sucesivas.

Mes Dracónico: El intervalo entre dos sucesivos pasajes de la Luna a través del mismo nodo de su órbita.

Mes Anomalístico: El tiempo entre sucesivos pasajes de la Luna por su perigeo.

Año de Eclipses: El período entre dos sucesivos pasajes del Sol a través del mismo nodo de la órbita de la Luna: 346,620 días. Hay casi 19 Años de Eclipses en un Saros.
