Pekux Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Can do new chronology using help solar eclipses? Perhaps everyone interested in reading, for example, the history of Assyria, Babylon and Egypt, has at some point noticed some references to solar eclipses observed at that distant time. This is one: deleted

References to astronomical events like this have been used to pin down the dates of events. For example, there is an depiction of Halley's Comet in the Bayeux Tapestry (1066). There are some example in this article: https://www.britannica.com/science/eclipse/Uses-of-eclipses-for-chronological-purposes Quote Chinese chronology can be confirmed accurately by eclipses from the 8th century BCE(during the Zhou dynasty) onward. The Chunqiu chronicle, mentioned above, notes the occurrence of 36 solar eclipses between 722 and 481 BCE ... The chronology of Ptolemy’s canon list of kings—which gives the Babylonian series from 747 to 539 BCE, the Persian series from 538 to 324 BCE, the Alexandrian series from 323 to 30 BCE, and the Roman series from 30 BCE onward—is confirmed by eclipses. Is that the sort of thing you are referring to?

Assyrian, Babylonian and Egypt history tell total five solar eclipses to a given year. (Sorry my bad english) Esarhaddon's first year Ashur-Dan III's ninth year Shimbar-Sibak's seventh year Shoshenq I's seventeenth year Mursili II's tenth year. Is also many other solar eclipses and few lunar eclipse: Takelot II's fifteenth year Sargon II'a about sixth year All of these form a single fixed period with little room for maneuver.

In addition astronomer Aymen Ibrahem is survey solar eclipses as follows: Queen Hatshepsut's fifteenth year Akhenaten's fourth year Seti I's ninth year Osorkon II's the twenty-second year.

Pekux Posted January 11, 2019 Author Posted January 11, 2019 Rarely treated Esarhaddon's first year. Sidney Smith’s translation of the Esarhaddon chronicle in Babylonian Historical Texts (London 1924) page 14 reads: Quote "In the month Teshri [Sept.-Oct.] the sun darkened [its] light."

There cannot be five solar eclipses in a year. I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. We know people have recorded solar (and lunar eclipses). We know that, in some cases, they could also predict them. Because we can calculate the dates of the eclipses, we can use this to check the dates of ancient events.

These eclipses is some periods, example: Shoshenq I's seventeeth solar eclipse and Takelot II's lunar eclipse period is about 99,5 year. Shoshenq I's seventeeth solar eclipse and Osorkon II's twenty-second solar eclipse period is about 76 year. Osorkon Ii's twenty-second solar eclipse and Takelot II:n lunar eclipse period is about 23,5 year. https://moonblink.info/Eclipse/search Is found? Edited January 11, 2019 by Pekux

Solar eclipses are superior, because they can be schedule punctuality a few hours. In this topic are listed 9 solar eclipses and 2 lunar eclipses, which have been carefully timed for a particular kings regnal year. When all these eclipses occur in the new chronology for the years in question, the chronology is then successfully fixed. The idea is also that the lengths of the kings reign should not be altered quite at random. Ps. to current chronology: Solar eclipse Akhenaten's fourth year > 1352 BC Solar eclipse II's tenth year. > 1312 BC Solar eclipse Seti I's ninth year > 1286 BC (?) Solar eclipse Shimbar-Sibak's seventh year > 1015 BC(?) Solar eclipse Shoshenq I's seventeenth year > 951 BC(?)

Hi, I just edited my post This my quote: Quote We can see that the correction of chronology needs to emanate from an open-minded attitude, as the reign periods of kings may have to be moved a lot from their present places.
Strange Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 You are still not very clear. You need to show what you are changing, and why. So, for example, what does the mean: Quote Solar eclipse Akhenaten's fourth year > 1352 BC You are saying that there was a solar eclipse in the the fourth year of Akhnaten's reign? (Or do you mean the fourth year of his life?) What is the source that says the eclipse was in 1352? What is the source hat says this eclipse was in the 4th year of his reign? And how does this compare to the accepted dates of his reign? Wikipedia says that his reign started in 1351 or 1353. So there is an error somewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akhenaten I am not going to research all of the people and dates you have provided to try and understand what you are saying. You need to explain what you are saying and where you get the data from.

Also this is uncertain, because Akhenaten's reign is changed start about 3 years earlier. Quote Thus, we realise that it makes no sense to start making some minor changes to the chronology as mentioned above. Instead, the correction of chronology should start with a clean slate.

It is extremely insulting to behave like that. If you can't be bothered to explain what you are talking about, then I can't be bothered to discuss it. (Just noticed this is in Science News, which is inappropriate. I can't tell if you have some alternative idea about the dates of eclipses or something, but. as that seems possible I am going to suggest it is moved to Speculations. If you can explain what you are talking about then maybe it can be moved somewhere else.)
Phi for All Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 ! Moderator Note This seems more like a lecture about an unsubstantiated claim than any kind of news (especially science news). If you have alternative claims to make, please do so in our Speculations section. ! Moderator Note Also, you need to clarify what you want to discuss. Lecturing/soapboxing/preaching are against the rules. I'm closing this thread. When you can explain your idea so others can understand it, you can start another thread. Please support that thread with evidence and clear reasoning.
