	On the Saros (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Because of this, they were also the first to notice a remarkable pattern: that eclipses of a particular type are repeated every 18 years, and more closely repeated every 54 years.
		For the eclipse to be visible from the same parts of the Earth, and at the same time of day, three such periods must pass, ie 54 years and 33 days, the Exeligmos.
		The most incredible aspect of this world spanning, long-term phenomenon is that it should have been discovered by a localised race nearly 5000 years ago.

		Exeligmos Lakoonikos (GR): ‘Laconian counter-march’; manoeuvre in which the file-closer does an about-face on the spot and the file-leader leads his men past the file-closer.
		Exeligmos Makedonikos (GR): ‘Macedonian counter-march’; manoeuvre in which the file-leader does an about-face on the spot and the rear-rankers counter-march to form up behind him.
		Exeligmos Persikos (GR): ‘Persian counter-march’; manoeuvre in which the front-half and rear-half both counter-march to form up in a mirror-image of their original disposition and the battle-order remains in the same position.

	[No title]
		Most of all the "experts" place the date of the 14th of Hezekiah in about 714 BC --note the 54 years.(54 years is the length of one exeligmos cycle)that is to say, this period of chronology is off by about 54 years.
		There is, as we have previously discussed, the long cycle of eclipses (exeligmos cycle) where eclipses repeat at the same place on earth in a cycle of 54 years and 31 or 32 days.
		The refraction of the shadow in the 14th of Hezekiah is THE KEY to developing a proper chronology.(this "sets" the true dates of Sargon) Shadows are formed according to the laws of rectilinear propagation-- the eclipse (at sunset) caused the shadow to "go back" by exactly 10 degrees.

	Saros cycle - Definition, explanation
		In the case of an eclipse of the moon the next eclipse might still be visible as long as the moon is above the horizon.
		Therefore a longer cycle of three Saroses (54 years and exactly 31 days), known as a Triple Saros or exeligmos (Greek: "turn of the wheel"), has been used.
		After an exeligmos, an eclipse will again be visible at or near to the original location.

	Thales of Miletus [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		How Thales foretold the eclipse is not known but there is strong opinion that he was able to perform this remarkable feat through knowledge of a cycle known as the Saros, with some attributing his success to use of the Exeligmos cycle.
		Britton believes that the Saros cycle was known before 525 BCE (Britton, "Scientific Astronomy", 62) but, although the text identifies a particular Saros cycle, and graphically depicts the number of eclipse possibilities, the ancient commentary of Text S does not attest to an actual observation (Britton, "An Early Function", 32).
		The Babylonian and Assyrian astronomers knew of the Saros period in relation to lunar eclipses, and had some success in predicting lunar eclipses but, in the sixth century BCE when Thales lived and worked, neither the Saros nor the Exeligmos cycles could be used to predict solar eclipses.

	The Saros Cycle
		The third Saros (669 full Moons) finds the eclipse coming full circle, happening at about the same time and place.
		This Triple Saros is called an Exeligmos, a period representing some 54 years and 34 days.
		Regarding the May 15-16, 2003 total lunar eclipse, the Triple Saros is projected into the year 2057.
