  • Dan-Gun Dan-Gun Is Named After the Holy Dan-Gun, the Legendary Founder of Korea in the Year of 2333 B.C
    Dan-Gun Dan-Gun is named after the holy Dan-Gun, the legendary founder of Korea in the year of 2333 B.C. The history of the Dan-Gun Dangun Wanggeom was the legendary founder of Gojoseon, the first kingdom of Korea, in present-day Liaoning, Manchuria, and the Korean Peninsula. He is said to be the grandson of the god of heaven, and to have founded the kingdom in 2333 BC. Although the term Dangun commonly refers to the founder, some believe it was a title used by all rulers of Gojoseon, and that Wanggeom was the proper name of the founder. Dangun’s ancestry begins with his grandfather Hwanin, the “Lord of Heaven” (a name which also appears in Indian Buddhist texts). Hwanin had a son Hwanung who yearned to live on the earth among the valleys and the mountains. Hwanin permitted Hwanung and 3000 followers to descend onto Baekdu Mountain, then called Taebaek Mountain, where Hwanung founded Sinsi (“City of God”). Along with his ministers of clouds, rain, and wind, he instituted laws and moral codes and taught humans various arts, medicine, and agriculture. One day both a bear and a tiger came to Hwanung’s residence in prayer and asked to be transformed into humans. The god agreed to this gift but on the condition that they remain out of the sun for 100 days and eat only a sacred bunch of mug- worts and 20 garlic cloves. To this the animals agreed and followed his advice. The tiger was unable to keep up with the conditions, but the bear – a female called Ung- nyo – after only 21 days was transformed into a woman.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-05762-3 — Calendrical Calculations 4th Edition Frontmatter More Information CALENDRICAL CALCULATIONS The Ultimate Edition An invaluable resource for working programmers, as well as a fount of useful algorithmic tools for computer scientists, astronomers, and other calendar enthu- siasts, the Ultimate Edition updates and expands the previous edition to achieve more accurate results and present new calendar variants. The book now includes algorithmic descriptions of nearly forty calendars: the Gregorian, ISO, Icelandic, Egyptian, Armenian, Julian, Coptic, Ethiopic, Akan, Islamic (arithmetic and astro- nomical forms), Saudi Arabian, Persian (arithmetic and astronomical), Bahá’í (arithmetic and astronomical), French Revolutionary (arithmetic and astronomical), Babylonian, Hebrew (arithmetic and astronomical), Samaritan, Mayan (long count, haab, and tzolkin), Aztec (xihuitl and tonalpohualli), Balinese Pawukon, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Hindu (old arithmetic and medieval astronomical, both solar and lunisolar), and Tibetan Phug-lugs. It also includes information on major holidays and on different methods of keeping time. The necessary astronom- ical functions have been rewritten to produce more accurate results and to include calculations of moonrise and moonset. The authors frame the calendars of the world in a completely algorithmic form, allowing easy conversion among these calendars and the determination of secular and religious holidays. Lisp code for all the algorithms is available in machine- readable form. Edward M. Reingold is Professor of Computer Science at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Bilindiği üzere, yıllardır Ermeniler “Büyük Ermenistan” düşüncesini gerçekleştirmek için bütün araçlara baş vurmuşlar. Amaçlarına ulaşmak için asırlar boyunca büyük güçlerin yardımına mazhar olmuşlar. Onlar için en önemli fırsat XIX. yüzyılın ilk çeğreğinde Güney Kafkasya’nın, özellikle Azerbaycan topraklarının Çarlık Rusyası tarafından işgali sonucu ortaya çıkmış, sonuçta Nahçıvan ve Erivan hanlıkları ilhak edildikten sonra bu topraklar üzerinde yapay Ermeni Vilayeti oluşturuldu. Makalede Ermeni Vilayeti’nin oluşturulması, yönetim sistemi ve akıbeti hakkında geniş bilgi verilmektedir. Anahtar kelmeler: Azerbaycan, Ermeni Vilayeti, Nahçıvan, Erivan, Rusya. Introduction Leap years Armenian chauvinists resort to everything to gain their “Great Armenia” wishes. For to gain their wishes they are fawning on to some greatest and powerful states of the world. In the IV century the Armenian state is known to be rubbed out the stage of history. It was divided between Iran and Byzantium in 387. And in 428 the Iranian Armenian tsardom was put an end.1 In the XI-XIV centuries there only existed Kilikiya, the Armenian tsardom in the Turkish territories. No real Armenian state existed till the beginning of the XX century. Because they have lived in the territories of various states. From the beginning of the XVIII century Armenians endeavour to form their state in the territories of Azerbaijan.2 Russia has always supported those Armenian intentions and directed them to their own actions.
