Suppose you are one of the people recording sky events. Modern chronology puts the date at 4,000 BCE. Since you are making the first Antediluvian Calendar, you have no previous information to go by. There is no technology. There are no fancy computers to make calculations or store anything. There are no watches or telescopes to make your job any easier. You are busy trying to eek out a living from the soil. Your family needs to know when to plant seeds for crops, expect the rainy season and when to harvest. Your family is fortunate enough to raise a few cows and some sheep. Science tells us the life expectancy for people back then was maybe 35 years old.

About the age of fifteen, your father hands you the Book of the Holy Writings. He tells you to watch carefully the positions of the sun, moon and stars and to write them down. Every night you watch the moon change with the lunar phases. You record the moon’s course against a starry background. You cannot get much sleep because in the daytime you are watching exactly where the sun rises and sets on the horizon. Day after day, year after year, you write down the rising and setting directions. You document the transit of the sun and note star positions.

You have noticed the sun returning approximately to the same beginning place every year. The whole process seems to repeat. Your family is making the first genuine calendar and your real age is unknown. You hand down the holy writings to your son when he turns adult. For the next twenty years, your son watches the sky and writes the same information. He in turn passes the log onto his son to do exactly the same thing. Your family keeps track of these records for twenty generations. After 400-years, one of your great-grandchildren, ad infinitum, notices the sun comes back to its original position, less a fraction of a degree. Knowledge of the stars and constellations generates religion in nearby villages. Word of the holy writings begins to spread and your family achieves royal status. Actual observation of the heavens is the only way to make your lunar/solar calendar.

A family or dynasty living in Egypt requires meticulous observation over 73 generations to make just one 1,461-Year Sothic Cycle calendar. Traditional chronology credits King Djoser of the third dynasty with introducing the 365 day-solar-year about 2650 BCE. Djoser (Netjerykhet ) ruled between 2668-2649 BCE and built the first stone Step Pyramid at Saqqara. Your family has been observing heavenly motions for some 3,000 years and continues to improve the calendar system. Anyone in this example only had one opportunity to relay the information accurately down to his or her heirs.

Ptolemy III, (280-221 BCE) officially included leap day calculations. His Canopus decree in 238 BCE adds one day every four years to correct the gradual drift of winter feasts through the year. Leap Day adds a single day every four years to the existing winter solstice 5-holiday Feast of the Walking Stick. Feast of the Walking Stick celebrates the end of the 360 day-Tun-year. Romans would later rename the feast to Saturnalia. Roman scholars are also accountable for retroactively dating the presumed Founding of Rome AUC (ab urbe condita) starting point as 753 BCE. A relative method for dating Egyptian history with respect to Roman chronology has emanated most Christian Era, AD convention.

There are some housekeeping issues to think about before going further. We must honor the attitudes and opinions of many people. Heritage and legacy esteems ancestry regardless of whoever they may be, past or present. There is more at stake than what meets the eye. Until now, these calendar numbers; tools, numerical matching, and lunar/solar side time splits are merely fragments of calendar patterns. They are all notes of the same song, time. We have recognized Almighty God while extracting calendar information from diverse cultural and religious platforms. Deities, gods and kings have played differing roles in l/s calendar development. Beliefs in the afterlife and resurrection of the righteous dead affect world religion.

The Holy Bible mentions polytheism and adverse spirituality. Negative connotations surround characters such as Seth and Enoch. Delving into the distant past exposes both beneficial and malevolent tendencies. The favor of God bestows blessings. His wrath is a curse to endure. Many layers of time have passed to soften and diffuse supernatural works showcased by the Exodus. Miracles told in the New Testament significantly changed Greek and Roman perceptions. Calendar research excavates deeply about basal social structure.

The concept of professional ethics is mandatory. Safety and security for everyone are prime concerns in conjunction with sheer calendar numbers. Calendar science accesses intangible resources from the time stream that may touch other lives. The subjective nature of time makes possible the grandiose and sublime. Grace empowers us to know morally right from wrong. Our quest directly seeks divine spirit from the Holy Bible. Existing theology is always an asset that strives to preserve basic human rights and justice for all. Ultimate social profit is the desired end.
