  Chronology
Based upon the cyclic perturbations of the earth every 53/54 years caused by catastrophic celestial events, some new theses for the reconstruction of ancient history are presented.
It is somewhat doubtful whether this event was, as claimed, a total eclipse of the sun, but to revert to older chronologies based largely on the Masoretic Texts of the Bible would, at this stage, be too cumbersome.
A confirmation of this total is found in the average reign length of English kings and queens from 1066 AD to the present, an average reign length of slightly over 22 years; this is to be expected, taking into account the differences of conditions in both time and location.
