	Recovering the Lost World - The Maya Calendar
		The date of 3114 BC is actually a reasonable estimate for the start of the current era, that is, as the date for the close of the "Age of the Gods." The Olmecs must have had a knowledge of the number of solar years which had lapsed since various world-wide cataclysms.
		When the Long Count was established in 747 BC by the Olmecs, they added six Baktuns (counts of 400 tuns) to a base date of 0.0.0.0, based on the assumption that the year (the tun) had always consisted of 360 days.
		In 747 BC the Olmec also started to count days, perhaps to recalculate the length of the year after the Earth shock of 747 BC and the change in the night-time skies.

	Learn more about Hipparchus in the online encyclopedia. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Hipparchus (Hipparhcos, Greek Ἳππαρχος) (circa 190 BC - circa 120 BC) was a Greek astronomer, geographer, and mathematician.
		After that in 135 BC, enthusiastic about a nova star in the constellation of Scorpius, he measured with an equatorial armillary sphere ecliptical coordinates of about 850 (falsely quoted elsewhere as 1600 or 1080) and in 129 BC he made first big star catalogue.
		Hipparchus had in 134 BC ranked stars in six magnitude classes according to their brightness: he assigned the value of 1 to the 20 brightest stars, to weaker ones a value of 2, and so forth to the stars with a class of 6, which can be barely seen with the naked eyes.

	The 25th dynasty
		In the early eleventh century BC Egypt split into two semi-autonomous domains: Lower Egypt was governed by the pharaoh, and the much larger tract of Upper Egypt was governed in the name of the god Amun by his high priest at Thebes.
		Although their armies were too weakened to attempt another assault on the north, the kings merely ignored their new rivals of Dynasty 26 and continued to use all the proper Egyptian royal titles, steadfastly maintaining that they were still the true kings of Egypt...
		Thus in 593 BC, with an army composed largely of Greek and Carian mercenaries, the pharaoh Psammeticus II invaded Kush, met and destroyed a Kushite army at the Third Cataract, and marched on unopposed to Napata, finally sacking and burning the city and destroying the palace and Gebel Barkal sanctuary.

		Its starting zero point is given by Steiner as 747 BC, the traditional year of the foundation of Rome, corresponding to the start of the 4th post-Atlantean epoch and the development of the rational soul, and identified more or less correctly --as we shall see-- with the constellation of Aries.
		The modern boundary between the unequal constellations of Aries (24,44 degrees) and Pisces (36,44 degrees) was reached by the vernal equinox around the year 68 BC, while the boundary between the constellations of Taurus (36,43 degrees) and Aries was reached by the vernal point around 1864 BC.
		Steiner mentions the year 747 BC as the start of the 4th cultural epoch, which he relates to the constellation of Aries, and 1413 to the start of the 5th cultural epoch, which he relates to the constellation of Pisces.

	Virtual Egyptian - Bronze of King Shabaka ? as Osiris, Dyn. 25
		The kings of Dynasty 25 (747-656 BC) were not from Egypt, but from the land of Kush, south of Egypt (in today’s northern Sudan).
		By the strength of their conviction and their deft and consistent application of symbolically charged gestures, Kushite kings awoke in their people a sense of national identity, gave a new impetus and a clear purpose to a land slowly drifting away into irrelevance.
		Although the idea of drawing strength from Egypt’s great past predates their intervention—“it had its origin in the later Lybian period, having begun during the first half of the eight century BC” (Shaw 2000:356)—the Kushites lent an energy, and a dedication to the cause that is almost palpable.

	Kidinnu and ancient Babylonian astronomy
		In the reign of king Nabonassar -in 747 BC to be more precise- the astronomers of Babylon recognized that 235 lunar months are almost identical to 19 solar years.
		The new system was already known in 331 BC, because in that year the Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great captured Babylon and ordered the astronomical diaries to be translated into Greek.
		Kidinnu must have known that in the days of the legendary king Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC), the earth's axis was directed to a point inside the Dragon and he must have been able to conclude that the axis of the earth was slowly changing its direction.
