| Ronina-System The Sanskrit name for Polaris is Dhruva that means pole star this star in Indic astronomy was not said to move where as the celestial pole moves, 300 years ago Polaris was not the Pole star but Dhruva was Polaris (In the page below Polaris is in the center of the north celestial pole). The star Polaris crosses the path of the moving northern celestial pole; this path forms a circle with its center being the northern ecliptic pole (the circle below with arrows 25800 years). The earth is on an axis or the earth spins at 23.5 degrees from vertical, if it spun vertical there would be no seasons. The axis spinning at 23.5 degrees forms a circle much like a top that spins; the center of this circle is the ecliptic pole. The calendar made Polaris the largest star on this path the end of the Sapta system. The northern ecliptic pole (#1 below) is the center of a 25800 year cycle (the precession of the equinox) today this cycle is almost in the star Polaris. This calendar's use started 5000 years ago, but because of Polaris the calendar had to go back 6450 years, that is one quarter of the 25800 year cycle from Polaris the point of reference (6450-2006=4444BCE). Back then the northern celestial pole (where Polaris is now) was in Draco next to Bootes (#10 below). Today the first point of Aries (that is where the ecilptic rises above the celestial equator "spring") is now in the direction of Pisces when Polaris comes strait in line with the ecliptic pole (very soon), the point of Aries will be in Aquarius ("The Age Of Aquarius"). The first point of Aries is the point that all stars are measured by the vernal equinox, the sun's rise from 0 degrees at the celestial equator. Observation of the polar stars is critical in the ability to tell time by the stars and in the Veda they recorded using the stars ( a lunar mansion is knowledge of the ecliptic, where the moon is in relation to the stars). I live in the northern hemisphere were the polar stars like Polaris are easily seen. The position of the northern celestial pole could be calculated in one year. That is where the spinning earth creates two poles north and south; all stars would circle these points. Once you establish the celestial pole it would start moving in the direction of Polaris, within 70 years the people of old would have been able to measure this change (the seasons would have moved from their established constellation). By creating two arrows 100 years apart that intersect the Solstice's (that is the highest and lowest points of the ecliptic) and the changing established northern celestial pole they would intersect in the northern ecliptic pole. The precession of this measurement would be taken by following these points down to the equatorial stars (the Solstice) where the angle is at its maximum before again shrinking to the southern pole (#2 below). They would have established the solstice with a constellation just like we do today with the zodiac calendar then the solstice would move away from that constellation in a retro direction this they had to notice. Once you have established the Ecliptic pole as the center you can then form a circle with the radius being the distance between the two poles, like the one below that gives you all future and past celestial poles. To use this knowledge as a calendar you would have to plot a reference point in the future because the direction of the 25800 year cycle is backwards (retrograde) from the east to west direction of the constellations. The lines with arrows #4 #8 #6 all represent the vernal equinox of that time: #4 is today, #8 is 3000BCE or 5000years ago, #6 is 6450 years ago the 6th hour degree. The #8 is the first point of Aries 5000 years ago or the vernal equinox that was in Taurus the Rohina System. I found 25 out of 27 of the old Vedic constellations within the ecliptic of today, how is that possible because 5000 thousand years ago the ecliptic was close to a quarter difference from today, beyond reason they knew f the precession of the equinox. From the northern Celestial pole below 6450 years ago the vernal equinox was at the 6th hour degree #5 below (lines 5 and 6 appear parallel but meet at the celestial equator), the 5th degree was 5375 tears ago, the 4th was 4300 years ago, the 3rd 3225 years ago. The Indus culture would have been between the 5th (the 5th is in the middle of Taurus) at 5375-2006=3360BCE and the 4th at 4300-2006=2295BCE and would have went to 1800BCE a little past the 4th hour. |

| One quarter of the cycle of the precession of the equinox falls on the date 25800/4=6450-2006=4444BCE the Sapta calendar is said to have begun in the year 6777. The calculation would be 6450 years divided by 25.8= 250 years, there would be 25.8 divisions of 250 years (or 6450 divided by 25.8 = 250years) and 6777 divided by 27 is 251. The Sapta calendar is 6777years and the difference of one quarter of the precession is 6450years. They used 6777 divided by 27 =251 years, using 27 that is close to the sidereal month of 27.35days. In using 27 instead of 25.8 it had to change the amount of years you can divide into it and still came close to 250. Early in the Egyptian history the Old Kingdom they employed a 24 hour system that means they knew the 6th hour degree of today was one quarter from Polaris. The Sapta calendar is the distance from Polaris (Dhruva) to the first star of Usra Major (Saptarisa is the Big Dipper and first star is Dubhe? it is exactly 28 degrees (using a 360 degree system), that is 27 with the concept of zero. For each degree would be 27 divided by 6777 because the radius from the celestial pole to Ecliptic pole is 23.5 degrees that is 6450 years 23.5/6450=274.47 and 27-23.5=3.5 times274.47=960+6450=7410 and 6450/6 hour degrees is 1075 years per hour so the 7th hour degree is 7525 years ago and 7410 is right at the star Sirius. From Polaris (once it comes into alignment) to the north Ecliptic pole and than to the pole 6450 years ago it forms a perfect right angle (the reason for the 360 degree system), In the Image to the right the North ecliptic pole circle I made it small so not to obscure Polaris. Than 360 divided by 27 is 13.2, that is the distance in a 360 degree system of a lunar mansion (the distance the moon appears in the sky the same time the next day or in 24 hours). There are four fixed Nakshatra's two of them are at the 24th and 0 degree than one is at 12 degrees and the last is at 18? degrees, that means they are fixed to the vernal equinox of 6450 years ago the 6th hour degree. Vedic commentary started the Sapta calendar with 6777 years and then started subtracting years instead of adding them, they were counting down to what appears to me to be Polaris. In a commentary on the Veda a Rishi (one of the 12 prophets) is said to have mispronounced the word Sapta and said Sarpta or serpent, here he was not talking about the famous 7 prophets but the calendar that became unusable. The system worked for a while because 6777/251=27 the real number is 250 and 6777 the real number is 6450. I believe they had a solar calendar to that was 27 times 27= 729 and the real number is 730 (using 1460=1/2=730 plus years as a guide to keep the seasons in check). One quarter of 27 is 6.75,(the star Sirius is at 6.7th hour) 1460 times 6.75= 9855, 9855/27=365 thus 365 times 4 is 1460 like the Egyptian calendar. The Sanskrit name for Ursa Major is Sapta the Indus sign I found for Ursa Major was the end of an arrow sign, Sapta also means the famous 7 prophets, the # 7 and the end of an Arrow (the last sign in the seals below). When this sign is used often on the end of a sentence I believe it to be a reference to the Sapta calendar. On many seals the sign of the constellation Cancer precedes the Sapta sign. Cancer is the 8th Sapta constellation Pushya. The start of Pushya (Cancer) is 250 years times 8 that is 2000years from 6450 and 4450-2006=2444BCE but Polaris is not in line yet so this is off . On a certain type of seal the seasons are the first sign, of that type the ones that end in Sapta Cancer fall in that 250 year period. The first sign of those seals is the actual season of that time and then the actual constellation it's in ( example the seal: Sravana dvi Chat asta ___ Visakha Pushya Sapta = Sravana day falling on the setting Visakha in the 8th Sapta, where there are 8 Sapta's in the opposite direction from Sravana to Visakha the constellation Sravana is the season of the beginning (6450 BCE) that is falling on the constellation of that time Visakha). I'm thinking 2444BCE minus 158years Visakha is the 17th Sapta or 250 divided by 27 times 17 or 2286BCE. This is as far as I am in the placement of the seals I need access to the dates of the deferent seals to finish this work. When the archeaolagical time that the seals are found in is compared to the date written on the seals. Once the differences are worked out the predictions of other seals and there place in archeaological time can be calculated, that will be the proof of this work. |
| The Egyptians start their calendar with the Twins (Gemini) at the dome of the temple at Dendra this would represent our (this is the middle of there Gemini) end of Gemini and the start of Taurus the 6th hour degree that is one quarter of the precession of the equinox from today or the star Polaris: 6450 years, ( # 6 below). The Egyptian's did know about the pole stars they were the most worshiped of the stars, "those that never changed" they were called the 'immortals'. The 20th constellation of the Sapta calendar is named after Noah, Ashadha that means 8, Noah was the 8th prophet of the Veda, like the word Sapta it has a dual meaning the 7prophets and #7. The sign I found for Ashadha was the pyramid of Sagittarius it has a division of 8 parts. There are two other signs for the 8th prophet: the 24th Sapta is Satabhisha and the Vedic Zodiac sign for Pisces Satya (our zodiac sign here is Aquarius the same indic sign for water) both of these signs look similair they are shaped like a triangle and Satyabhisha has 8 parts.The Egyptian's said that the "kha" lives in the pyramid similiar to the Kshi constellation where in Egypt akha meant fighting simialar to the Indic sign for fight with a same club and sheild. The association of the pyramid with the pole star and the Pyramid ship at the foot of the Pyramid, the eight genii's of Nun, Orion the celestial ferryman, the great Bear constellation Set (Sapta) and Spdt or Sirius the Egyptian fixed star all parallel Vedic astronomy. The name Manu (Maha-nu the great waters) and the Jewish Noha the Vidic and Egyptian na for water, the 7 kings of Mesopotamia before the flood with a prophet of the floood all appear associated.The Sothis cycle is 1460 years that divides 4.4 times into 6450 years. Their would be around 18 cycles in one cycle of the precession of the equinox. The season of Aswin in the Sapta system is the start of winter where today it is the begining of spring, one quarter of the preccession of the equinoxe 6540 years ago. The number of constellations in the system is 27, if you say they used the stars and the moon (lunar Mansions) the moon makes a complete orbit aginst the stars (sidereal month) in "27" days 7 hours and 43 minutes, then 27 times 27 times 2 is 1458 the Egyptian calendar is 1460 a defference of 2 years or one ever 27 times 27 or half cycle that is 1460/2=730 and 27 times 27 is 729. By dividing 6450 years by 1460 years you get 4.417 than .417 times 1460 is 609 years plus 851 years you get 5 time 1460= 7300 years to starting the callender someware around the star Sirius, thus Rohina at the 6th hour degree is the fourth constellation but it should be the 6.75th constellation 27 divided by 4 is 6.75 plus 851 years the star Sirius and the constellation of Gemini. I believe was around 3000BCE, the calendar either fell on this date or it was recalabrated. Many Vedic names of constellations are named after Noha the prophet, so the names were changed at that time. |
| Nakshatra means; Nakshta the "night" where you see the stars and Tra meaning three. There are three fixed Nakshatra's constellations, they are fixed with respect to the 6th hour degree of today. The 27 Nakshatra's divided by 4 is 6.75 and that is where you find the star Sirius at exactly the 6.75th hour degree, the brightest star in the heavens. The system uses the star Polaris the largest star on the circle of the precession of the equinox it's center being the northern ecliptic pole. One qurter of the system from Polaris is 6450 years (this would fall on the day the vernal equinox hits the 6th hour degree) that would be the highest point of the ecliptic today at the 6th hour degree. Today the 6th hour is the highest point at the start of the calendar it was the vernal equenox our 0 to the 1st degree. Sirius would be around 6900 years from Polaris the Sapta calendar started on the year 6777 then began substracting years instead of adding them (I believe they miscalulated by mistaking the hour degree for the Precession of the equinox). The heavens are divided today into 24 hour degrees thus the eciliptic rises above the Celistrial equator at 0 degrees, before this point of today the last constellations of the Sapta system the two fixed stars "Uttara" Bhadrapada and Revita (all fixed stars have prefix Uttara except Revita). This system betrays a knowledge of the precession of the equinox where today the Sapta system starts with our vernal equinox. The vernal equinox is the point were all stars are measured the ecliptic rises above the celestial equator, that is today the head of Aris, Asvian is at the head of Aris and the start of the Sapta Calendar. The reason the calendar used the star Polaris (Explanied in the Rohina system) because it is the largest star on circle of the Precession of the equinox. The old civilizations had a lot of time to notice that the seasons changed from their established constellations. This is known today as the precession of the equinox it is a 25800 year cycle. The seals in their design, names and placement betray a knowledge of this precession even the fixed stars are all equinox's of today or soon when Polaris comes in line in the precession. The reason for two constellations Uttara Bhadrapada and Revita is for the concept of zero degrees again here the calendar reflects the alignment of today were 0 degrees is in line with Polaris. At 6 degrees (24 divided by 4 parts is 6) the eciliptic today is at its highest point and the point that all the other fixed constellations are fixed to. At exactly 12 degrees the fixed star "Uttara" Phalguna (the ecliptic goes below the celestial equator) and the last fixed star is at 18 degrees the lowest point of the ecliptic; "Uttara" Ashadha. The system has 4.5 or 4 constellations in the first, 5.5 or 6 in the second and fourth quarters. The third quarter has nine constellations jamed into it (the number 27 reflexs a need for that number and not the equal spacing of it, the equal spacing is done with the fixed stars) The Sapta cycle starts with Asvin at 0 to the 1st hour degree while the Nakshatra cycle starts with Uttara Ashadha at the 18th degree. By dividing the Egyptian cycle into four parts; 1460 years divided by 4 equals 365 years the constellations are still not equally divisable by 365.4. A combination of both cycles the Nakshatra starting at 18 degrees and ending at a quarter of the 1460 day cycle has a calulation of 365.4 years that is divisable by 365.4 days. The 27 constellation 27 times 27 times 2 is 1458 plus four seasons is 1459. Thus the Sapta is recorded as a calendar for the centurys and the Nakshatra cycle is some what of a mystery in the text. The early Vedic people named their 12 months acording to the season and the seasons were than named after a constellation. A certain type of Indus Seal show those signs of constellations that are Sanskrit seasons as the seals first sign. Sanskrit seasons are divided into 12 parts, four seasons each having a begining, middle and end. After the season sign two small dashes the dvi sign that can mean day or divided by or two (as in day and night). After the dvi sign comes the Chat sign that means falling on as in " summer day falling on". Then different constellation's after the season, dvi and chat ?signs that are either setting rising or they are at their lowet or highest points. The first sign on the seal is the name of the actual season that was at the start of the calander than the constellation it is actually in, the reference point. This is similair to the Thoth cycle where the seasons are changing through the calendar. The system of Vedic astronomy used the constellation Taurus at 6 degrees as the fixed point. In the year 2780BCE the spring equinox would have been in Taurius the referance point. The Pole star of today is Polaris where the end of the club is in the Kshi constellation (below). 5000 years ago the pole star would have been on the right part of the sheald of the Kshi constellation and the ecliptic pole (this is a permanent stationary pole) is on the left side of the shield. Here again the pictorial Indus Kshi sign betrays a knowledge of the precession of the Equinoxe. Some of the ancient civilizations lasted 3000 years. In that lenth of a time they must have had to been able to predict the path of future and past pole stars. Today the spring equinox or the first piont of Aries is in Pieses and soon to be in Aquarius. The constellation Rohini (Means eclipting) the dictionary states it is the ninth Nakshatra and the fourth Sapta constellation, the 5 stars of Tauri. The dictionary even states that Rohina was a temple fish, the fish sign was the sign I found for the Indus Taurius. The constellation after Rohini is Mrigasiras, Mriga means any four legged animal. Gemini is the next constellation that clearly appears as the Indus sign of a four legged something. The proof of this work will come when the archaeologic dates the seals are found in match the expressed dates on the seals and the ablity to predict other seals dates that they are found in. Below the seals have the signs for kshiti-bhrit that means the earth supporter the sign of Bharini above clearly shows two poles at an angle (the true angle is 23.5 degrees). |
| The visual relationship I found between the Cypriot script and the Chinese script also points to the Indus Valley being the origin of both scripts. In the page Linear B and Cypriot (to the right) it clearly appears that both of these script came out of the Indus. This would than point to the Indus script having two circulations, one around 2800BCE and the other by at least 1900BCE. The view below shows the constellation Aries as the second Sapta constellation Bharani. This is where I believe the Indo-European letter B originates, similair to our A,B,C (a Asvin b Bharani c Krittika). It has been a common understanding that the Indo-European letters originated in Egypt such as the Greek linear script. The early history of Egypt prior to 2800BCE is a cultural exchange with Mesopotamia, their civilization sprung up from this exchange. I believe the Egyptians got their writen script from this early Mesopotamian influence. Egypt did start forming their own script before the arrival of this calendar that they called Thoth (this calendar was based on the fixed star Sirius named Spdt and the Greeks called it Sothis 'a combination of Spdt and Thoth'). The Thoth calendar I believe is the calendar below, it whould be the Vedic solar calendar and was the second calendar employed in Mesopotamia after the flood. Thoth was the God of both the calendar and writing (computator of the times of life and ruler of the Years, the giver of speach and writing). Those signs from the calendar formed their early phonitic signs as seen in the Phonitics for Ph or F , Ksh and the Ma from the constellation of Magha (illustration at bottom of page for Kshi, Ma is on the next page; Phalguni, Ph is of the page Phoenix). The crux of the established theory for an Egyptian origin of both Greek and Phoenician scripts lies with the two phonics M and N. Both of these symbols appear in the Indus signs, Na means water in both Sanskrit and old Egyptian. The Egyptian Na is a wavy line, idintical to a Indus sign (this same sign is identical to our zodic sign for Aquarius). While the Egyptian phonetic Ma is the same visual sign I found for the constellation Magha the classic M. The difference in the two Ma signs (Egyptian and Indus) is an act of attrition on the part of the Egyptian scribes. In my study of different scripts the act of simplification of complex signs is a standard phenomenon. My point here is the Indus Magha is clearly the more complex and the Egyptian Ma visually is an act of attrition from the Indus Ma. All these associations are important signs that lasted through an evolution in the Egyptian script. I believe both M and N had an early importance in the word Manu. Other Indus signs I found with parallels in other scripts are the pyramid of Ashadha the classic A, the C from Chandra the name for the cresent moon and G from Guni (link to the right for Guni signs evolution). The C originates from the sign for the cresent moon, the same sign of the moon employed in Egypt, Mesopotamia and China, while the Sanskrit C-handra points to the origin coming from the Indus. |
