  • Re-Dating the Fall of Sardis *
    Re-dating the Fall of Sardis * Nikos Kokkinos The shaky nature of the historical (and by association archaeological) dates in the Greek Archaic period (usually taken as ending with the Persian sack of Athens in 480 BC), is a well-known problem. Of course, some dates are less shaky than others. Perhaps every scholar will agree that the earliest, indisputable , absolute date in Greek history (that is to say textually based), is that of the death of Hipparchus son of Pisistratus I in 514/3 BC. He was assassinated at the Great Panathenaea, ‘four years’ before the expulsion of his brother Hippias in 511/0 BC (on inclusive reckoning), which was ‘twenty years’ (a round number) before the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC (Hdt. 5.56; Thuc. 1.20; 6.56, 59; Arist. Ath. Pol . 18.3; 19.2). A further deduction can be made: the death of Pisistratus I and the accession of Hippias occurred in 528/7 BC — as the latter ruled for ‘eighteen years’ (Arist. Pol . 5.1315b 29-34 — even if Ath. Pol . 19.6 says ‘about seventeen years’). But there will be (and legitimately should be) disagreement between scholars in respect to any date earlier than Pisistratus’ death. An earlier point thought to be ‘fixed’, providing a link to the Athenian chronology, is the Fall of Sardis, the Lydian capital of the famous king Croesus. In the past, the date of this major international event used to be given very inconsistently (from as early as 557 BC to as late as 540 BC), 1 but in recent decades confidence has grown regarding the year * I must thank Professor Fergus Millar for reading this paper and making some adjustments to the language in order to ease a subject complex by nature.

Krishnan Marg, New Delhi -110012 FOREWORD The Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) of the Government of India appointed a Calendar Reform Committee under the chairmanship of Prof. Meghnad Saha in November 1952. The Committee was entrusted with the task of 'examining all the existing calendars which are being followed in the country at present and after a scientific study of the subject, submit proposals for an accurate and uniform calendar for the whole of India'. The following were the members of the Committee: Prof. M.N. Saha, D.Sc, RR.S., M.P. (Chairman) Prof. A.C. Banerji, Vice-Chancellor, Allahabad University Dr. K.L. Daftari, Nagpur Shri J.S.

  • How It Was in Reality-FOMENKO.Pdf
    HOW IT WAS IN REALITY A.T.Fomenko , G.V.Nosovskiy PREFACE 1. THE UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED VERSION OF WORLD HISTORY WAS CREATED ONLY IN THE XVII CENTURY. IT WAS REFINED UP UNTIL THE XIX CENTURY. THIS VERSION IS INCORRECT. The present book occupies a unique place among our publications on the New Chronology. It was written by popular demand of our readers. Many people tell us: "You criticized the currently accepted version of chronology and the version of the history based on it. You suggested your dating methods and pointed out many duplicates (repetitions), considerably 'shortening' the written history of mankind. Suppose you are right. But then an important question arises: What happened in reality? Could you write a 'concise guide' on your new chronology and the new version of history"? We fragmentarily outlined our reconstruction several times. Now, when a vast amount of material has accumulated, there arrived a moment to put together the main findings and to reconstruct the actual past. In [1v] and [2v] we showed that the archaeological and physical methods of dating which exist today, including the famous radiocarbon method, are unfortunately poorly suited for the dating of artefacts 1-2 thousand years old. These methods produce errors comparable to the age of the samples. We will rely on the new chronology which we established based on the mathematical, empirical and statistical results presented in the first three books of the 'Chronology' in seven volumes and also in [6v3], ch.2. The main chronological shifts – by approximately 333 years, 1050 years and 1800 years discovered by A.T.Fomenko in 'ancient' and mediaeval history are indicated in the Global Chronological Map (ГХК) created by A.T.Fomenko in 1975-1979.

  • CALENDAR NOTES Edited by Kurt Schuler (E-Mail: Kschuler@The-Cfs
    HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATISTICS: CALENDAR NOTES Edited by Kurt Schuler (e-mail: [email protected]) 16 June 2015 Suggested citation to this file Kurt Schuler, editor, “Historical Financial Statistics: Calendar Notes,” original version 12 September 2010; updated version of 16 June 2015 viewed on [date of viewing] at Historical Financial Statistics Web site, http://www.centerforfinancialstability.org/hfs/Calendar_notes.pdf Contents This file accompanies a calendar spreadsheet at http://www.centerforfinancialstability.org/hfs/Calendars.xlsb. Only versions of Excel starting with Excel 2007 can read the spreadsheet. The more than 200,000 rows of the spreadsheet exceed what earlier versions of Excel can handle. 1. Overview. 2. Days of the week: The standard seven-day week. 3. Julian day number: An identifier used by astronomers and computer programmers. 4. Julian calendar: The calendar of the Roman Empire and later the standard Christian calendar until the Gregorian calendar started to replace it in 1582. Not used by any country for civil purposes since 1923, although still used as a religious calendar by some Orthodox Christian churches. The spreadsheet shows two versions of the Julian calendar, one listing months by name in a day/month/year format, and the other using only numbers in a year/month/day format whose components are separated by periods. Deleting the periods makes the dates purely a string of numbers, which may help in sorting dates. 5. Gregorian calendar: The most widely used calendar in the world today. The spreadsheet shows two versions of the Gregorian calendar, one listing months by name in a “day/month/year” format, and the other using only numbers in a “year.month.day” format.
