Topic: 15 BCE


  
  Lucius Munatius Plancus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
15 BCE) was a Roman senator, consul in 42 BCE, and censor in 22 BCE with Aemilius Lepidus Paullus.
Along with Talleyrand eighteen centuries later, he is one of the classic historical examples of men who have managed to survive very dangerous circumstances by constantly shifting their allegiances.
When Caesar was assassinated on March 15, 44 BCE, Plancus was the Proconsul of Gallia Comata.

 Indo-Scythians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Around 175 BCE, the Yuezhi tribes (probable related to the Tocharians) who lived in modern day Gansu, were defeated by the Xiongnu (Huns) tribes, and had to migrate towards the West into the Ili river area.
Sometime after 155 BCE, the Yuezhi were again defeated by an alliance of the Wusun and the Xiongnu, and were forced to move south, again displacing the Scythians, who migrated south towards Bactria, and south-west towards Parthia and Afghanistan.
The presence of the Scythians in north-western India during the 1st century BCE was contemporary with that of the Indo-Greek Kingdoms there, and it seems they initially recognized the power of the local Greek rulers.

 History
The 15 ring difference (97 and 82) between the dendrochronological sequence and the cycle signature dates is caused by the pressures on the weakest links and gaps to conform to incorrect syncs.
Eight rings of the 15 ring increase between 1626 and 1159 are due to the need for the two ends of the long chronology to correlate to other internally correct dendrochronological sequences in a natural equilibrium (-4 + 8 - 4 = 0).
The irregular tree ring signatures between bristlecone pine at 1627 BCE and the sync of 1626 BCE in the Irish bog are actually 91 years apart so that by natural extension the sequence constructs between the end of GB2 and Teeshan that begins at 13 BCE are incorrect in sync.

 The Origins of Astrology
We have evidence that between 20,000 - 15,000 BCE cave dwelling tribal communities existed in Southwestern France and left behind beautiful cave drawings that depicted nature, hunters and goddesses.
One prevalent theme for the goddess drawings was a depiction of the goddess giving birth (which represents the life force) with the Moon being an associative component of the goddess.
In terms of recorded data, some of the earliest artifacts bearing evidence that astrology was practiced date back to tablets uncovered around 3000 BCE in Babylon (which is modern day Iraq).

540 BCE as he describes Cyrus about to take Babylon in that year.  I suspect that the whole Book of Isaiah was probably written by Deutero-Isaiah, but that he probably had access to the "failed prophecies" of the 8th century BCE Isaiah and incorporated them in a different format.
Thus the Book of Isaiah's account of Jerusalem's being spared by God's personal destruction of the Assyrian army could have been concocted in 540 BCE with no one around to contradict its portrayal of the events, no one that is, except the royal Assyrian archives of Sennacherib, which reveal the "more probable" events.

In 58 BCE, the Helvetii tried to evade migratory pressure from Germanic tribes by moving into Gaul, but were stopped and defeated at Bibracte (near modern-day Autun) by Julius Caesar's armies and then sent back.
In 15 BCE, Tiberius and Drusus conquered the Alps, and the region became integrated into the Roman Empire: the Helvetii settlement area became part first of Gallia Belgica and later of the province of Germania Superior, while the eastern part was integrated into the Roman province of Raetia.
The following 300 years saw extensive Roman settlement, including the construction of a road network and the founding of many settlements and cities.
