Bede's Canonical Hours

Bede's canonical hours ...

Well yes Bede is the one who declared at
which hour prays should be said.

Zodiac Jesus

2006-06-07T00:49:00.000+01:00

Stowe's Bible Astrology: The Bible Founded
on Astrology makes the argument that Jesus is the
sun and his life's story a parable of the sun's journey
around the zodiac, much more improved upon than
Ra's day sky boat. In fact the Jesus story is on the end
of a long line of redrafts, updates and additions.

We also have Arthur Findlay's history and the
Jesus mysteries etc, where they claim Jesus was a simple
sun god like so many before him. Now there is really no
need to wave arms in the air because in the later book we
are told as to have Jesus lives a similar life to Jesus which
puts him on a par with the old Genesis story as one in a long
line of many. The bible having many layers of sun god stories.

This seems to some early pagan attempt at
remembering their calendar for the average person
who couldn't read.

The involvement of the second coming promise may
be confused with the next day, the next year or the
next zodiac period. We know Mark was thought of
as the second book and so an added ending didn't
matter but considering it originally ended with Jesus's
body only originally being missing seems when combined
with Mark being the first book and that the other gospels
took their inspiration from it now looks to say the least, odd

We can therefore surmise that this rising, only to wander
about a bit before going to heaven in some foggy haze, to
be symptom of the religious arms race of the day but where
the zodiac Jesus would have to start again with the new year.

Genesis

2006-06-02T20:35:00.000+01:00

With regard to time in creation myths, that were around
before the Genesis book of the bible it should be remembered
that it was the Egyptians that separated the day and night,
time wise and the Babylonians who had the 7 days week.

Genesis not only writes of the world being created in 7
days though, we know that with the Sabbath it is down
as the Christian Sunday as a day to worship.
Not only was this 7 days created in pagan times we
still have the days of week named after gods,
the wandering stars of pagan astrology.

The moon, moonth, had a 29 days shadow spin
but with daylight a 28 day good look. But this
broke down into 7 days and the ancients didn't
have 7 fingers and you couldn't construct it
easily from triangles, so it seems it went down
as unlucky and they let god have it and they downed
tools as a safety measure.

The Jews will argue that Genesis was written
after Egypt, so the Egyptian 7 days would be
fresh in their minds. Or as others say, Genesis
was written at the time of a more settled Jewish
state, then it borrowed from various ancients around
at the time who been using the 7 days week.

Now there are many long lived people in Genesis
but here we should note that the Egyptians called their
months, years. And so rather than anything great
happening, we only have another misrepresentation
of history.

Pentagram

2006-06-02T15:20:00.000+01:00

The pentagram first seems to have appeared on cave walls and
it may of been used by various cults in pre-history.

Its association with Pythagoras in 500 BC is well
documented. He used it to make himself some super
math leader in his own cult.

If the Hexagon was to represent the Sun, then the pentagram
was to represent mankind. The five pointed star would be
worn by early Christians before they latched onto the cross.
It was to represent the five wounds of Christ. Later would
also find association by of the Trinity according to Brewers.
The three triangles that make up the pentagram being
the Trinity.

The Trinity as opposed to Duality and Unity was to be
the Father the Son and the Holy ghost. This too though
can be found back in Egypt where the stages of the day
were divided up into the father and son. A god for every
occasion the ghost could fittingly equal life in the underworld.

The Pentagram's points were to have 5 planets placed on the
outside of it as people tried to tie in maths with the greater world.
As more planets came along they would be attached to the outskirts
of more shapes.

Later the shape of man was to be attached to the five points,
limbs and head. The five points are also equal the extremities on
one hand and it should be considered that ten fingers or two
pentagrams would equal one sixth of a hexagon that makes up
our 60 minutes.

The Pentagon inside the Hexagon. Man encircled by the Sun,
the Sun's orbit. 3, 4, 5, 6, sides and so forth. It would seem
the perfect sun and stars were to be associated with even
numbers while mankind was to be dealt the odd numbers.
Except when the wandering planets added up to an odd number.

It seems the Romans were to represent 5 as a V, most
likely to save space in notation but maybe they were also
drawing on earlier instances. Perhaps V had special powers.
Perhaps the ancients had given special meaning to mankind's
opposable thumb.

Squaring The Circle

2006-05-28T18:26:00.000+01:00

The circle, the sun's circle was to take on special powers.
To be as the Sun God was to be as perfect as you could be.

So what if there were some special magical measurements to
go with the circle. Might not the religious elders hold more power?
At various time we know that those who were great
mathematicians could also become cult leaders.

For the ancients it seems counting started on their fingers.
From this they would have base 10. Counting their phalanges
they would find the number 12 on four fingers, adding the
thumb would give you 14 and a bit. Both hands would add
up to 28 and two bits. Close enough you might think to the
a synodic month. However for ease the cue from the moon
seems to of been taken from it's half line, first quarter or
semi circle shape. This comfortable 14 days added up to 28
days and moon calendar were not to agree with the season
for very long, the seasons needing a solar calendar.

Drawing two triangles, one facing up, another over it but
facing down gave them the Hexagon. 6 Sides or Vertices
and half of the fingers phalanges on one hand. Draw another
hexagon over the first but slightly clockwise and you have
24 sides/vertices or all the phalanges on you fingers.

If we count round the vertices of the Hexagon we get 6.
Divide these sides into 10s, our fingers, to figure at the
top now reads 60. If we now count round the vertices
of the hexagon in 60s we arrive at the top with 360.

It is from these, perhaps counter engineered, Sumerian
numbers that we have today's division in time of 60
minutes and 60 seconds.

Life and Death

2006-05-28T17:38:00.000+01:00

To the ancients the world was as far as the nearest horizon.
Perhaps for ease, perhaps for control. It was enough that
the Sun God sail over their heads during the day, battled
his way through the underworld, only to rise again.

The underworld in this case was merely the other side
of the world. But to flat earthers' the sun was born in blood
and died in blood. For if the sun was still around, why was
the sky dark.

To reassure the young they were told stories of how successful
the sun god was at reappearing every new day, every new spring.

To reassure everyone that they had a grip on things the religious
elders would been seen with various sun god related items.
The staff and the Ankh, both could cast shadows, both could
be fertility symbols. With these religious elders in charge the
people were content that if nothing else, they were not about
to lose the sun.

Ankh

2006-05-26T13:52:00.000+01:00

It is unlikely that the Egyptian shadow clock was called such.
Other names it has today are the L, due to the missing cross bar,
the T, after its restoration based on Borchard and the Green Schist
Shadow Clock by the one we have. We remember here that the
Egyptians had Sun Gods and it is plausible that instruments used to
measure gods path amongst the heavens were given a higher status
than the average instrument. This judge of Sun god's, this marker
of the seasons, the crops, the pagan ceremonies, this shadow clock
has the god of the day upon it. Thutmose III.

Now instruments are often known by their use, what they are
used for. Like Hammer and Nail. So it is possible that these
shadow clocks taken on the circle of the sun, or god.

This T section, with a circle on top fits the shape of the Ankh.
The symbol that Egyptian priests are seen carrying, as depicted
on temple walls.

It is thought that the T section may represent the sun's
rays or that the circle is the sun or the sign of the female.
All combine when we consider that Egyptian religion considered
the sun's birth or rebirth was tied with sunrise and spring.

With this there can be some blurring between the symbolic
Ankh and the shadow clock that measures the sun.
Some Ankh's could be clocks, some small clocks could be Ankhs.

The Gnomon Cross

2006-05-23T21:10:00.000+01:00

Man has long relied on the sun for life and
what powers our light when it's not around,
it's stored energy from times past.

With increasing populations our ancestors
more than ever depended upon their crops
and so it became vital for these emerging
city states that they had a good growing season.

And so it was that man became so engrossed
on the seasons and the giant glowing orb in the sky,
Flying daily over their heads, east to west.

The was always a mark of time but marking of
the day had to wait for the sundial. A stick would
of been the first likely candidate to of had marks made
around it, onward and upwards to their symbolic staffs
and giant needles or obelisk.

The Egyptian shadow clock would come to contend this
role however. It had a length of base as with 6 markers,
a raised piece at one upon which lay a cross bar.

The shadow clock was aimed towards the East in the
morning and turned at noon to face West. With seasons
giving various readings more accuracy could of been had
if a Merkhet, line of sight instrument found the Pole Star
to which an etched mark could of been made with which
to the cross bar could of swung around on.
