Appendix 1 / Update Notes (Version 3)
Extensive examination of Medieval European coins, which in themselves represent perhaps the most important and permanent "chronological record" of Old World Governmental History, has revealed alphanumerical data that the "A.D." (Anno Domini) dating system began only about six centuries ago - and not some fifteen centuries ago.
The modern numerical system of dating events in "scriptic" symbols on coins or any written material, really did not began until the Renaissance. The very few existing European coins with modern numeric dates from just before the Renaissance could have been minted during the Renaissance with dates suggesting when the event was "founded" and not when the coin was "minted".
Although, the "A.D." time system formula theory is assumed to have been "discovered" nearly five centuries after Christ by the astronomer and historian named Dionysius Exiguus, and several Medieval manuscripts use the Roman letter number system to assign certain "A.D." dates to them, the fact remains that the use of the modern number system - and its true symbolic values, was not widely used by "historical scholars" to literally date items until the early Renaissance.
Moreover, the very few "historical scholars" that did exist during the Middle Ages could have been merely following or recopying the "A.D." time formula theory without verifying the calendrical data involved. Since the "A.D." time system formula theory is based on somewhat rare lunar ecliptic data taken from the Greco-Egyptian astronomer named Ptolemy - who himself calculated Middle Eastern history and theorised a "rulers list" of notable leaders before Christ, it should be remembered that any calendrical dating system theory born in an age of limited scientific overview could be wrong.
However Ptolemy's or Dionysius' theories were interpreted by "historical scholars" many years ago, by the time the modern printing press was invented nearly five centuries ago, ancient "western history" became "established" in mass print with little attempt or need to verify the annual accountability until now.
The novel question as to whether the conventional "A.D." time system formula theory is true or not, is not a question easily answered without a serious review of how and when human history could have been "packaged" by certain influential historians and publishers nearly five centuries ago.
2/ The "modern" method system of dating calendrical history by using the symbols set "B.C.E." - or "years Before the Common Era", and the symbol set "C.E." - or "years of the Common Era", attempts to balance the scientific and religious date of Christ - however, if the "Common Era" is scientifically proven to be numerically incorrect, then perhaps an even more modern method system of dating calendrical history could be used like the following concept.
Version 2.2 suggest the calendrical base birth-date of the first Patriarch in Western History named Adam can be identified with the symbol letter set of "AA." - meaning years "After Adam". Years before Adam are displayed as "BA.", as in "Before Adam".
To some, the Patriarch named Adam will always be only a mythical person - however, like Jesus Christ, their dates of birth are documented and, although their calendrical dates may have been misjudged by early influential historians, they have been entered into our archives - therefore, they should not be ignored as a time value in measuring human history.
3/ Appendix 2 includes a proposed calendar that embodies the spirit of the existing Gregorian Calendar, the Zodiac symbols, and the True Tropical Solar-Year value of the lost Trans-Atlantean Calendar. This perpetual trans-solar calendar is dated to "restart" in the current conventional date of the year 1998 A.D. (1000 AA.).
Traditionist will continue to use and value not only the current conventional calendar, but will also persist in the belief that Christ lived nearly 2000 years ago. However, the radical theory and historical understanding that Adam lived just over three centuries before Christ - and that Christ himself may have lived less than a thousand years ago is more important than what simplistic solar calendar the public chooses to keep or use in the near future.
If certain scientific evidence suggest that Christ lived less than a thousand years ago, like the recent radiocarbon-14 isotope test of the "Shroud of Turin" suggest, then perhaps the birth of Christ and the "Star of Bethlehem" event took place in the year of 304 AA. (1302 A.D.). This time-line theory is based on several novel calculative concepts that attempts to translate conventional history into a whole new way of counting true human history.
Using astronomical data based on the recurring 76-year period comet - or "Halley's Comet", and the historical idea that the "Star of Bethlehem" could have been the same event, one could create a time-line between the birth of Adam and Christ wherein the recurring comet would reveal itself as a recurring "heavenly event" or "celestial sign" that could be predicted by observant "wise men".
As mentioned earlier in this book, if the conventional 3761 year count between Adam and Christ were counted only as 3761 months instead, then the recalculated time-line count of 304 years between the two patriarchs would reveal other important leaders who "appeared" during the recurring "heavenly event" - like the following examples.
According to the conventional Biblical time-line, King David appeared about 1000 years before Christ - however, 1000 months would equal about 76 years at 28 days a month or 4000 seven-day weeks. Because King David is also associated with his "star", perhaps Biblical history mixed the man and the 76-year period "heavenly event" somehow.
Also, according to the conventional Olympiad time-line, King Cyrus appeared about 600 years before Christ - however, 600 seasonal units would equal about 150 years before Christ. King Cyrus is also identified with a bright star of the heavens - as in Sirus, the brightest evening star.
If the 76-year period comet were these recurring "heavenly events", then perhaps this historical "timing light" could be used to help calibrate the time-line of ancient history with modern history and the discovery of the true length of the Middle Ages may be realized. (Preliminary astronomical data, based on the 76-year period comet and other calendrical data, has suggested that Adam "appeared" in 998 A.D. [0 AA.] and Christ was born in 1302 A.D. - or 304 years later [304 AA.]).
