# of days in the year changed twice

# of days in year changed twice?

He writes 'The fact that I hope to establish is that from the fifteenth century (B. C.--CHH) to the 8th century before the present era the astronomical year was equal to 360 days; neither before the fifteenth century, nor after the eighth century was the year of this length. ...'

He adduces much information from ancient documents and in a different book uses only 'science'.

This reminds me of Lafferty's GREAT science fiction short story, 'What Was the Name of that Town,' in which Lafferty gives forth a series of facts in the culture, such that we are driven to the conclusion that, yes, there used to be a Chicago where the Great (is is Dismal or Purple, I can't remember) Swamp is now, but it, Chicago, was destroyed in a trauma so great that we invented a machine to help us not remember--and we don't remember the machine.  I think that's the gist of it.

And in another book, Mankind in Amnesia, he writes--he was a psychiatrist first, that unless we remember rightly we'll bring on such a catastrophic cataclysm ourselves (CHH--as those abused in childhood become abusers as adults?).

Thus, an addition--Not only is it true that 'Death Wish is the Daughter of Guilt,' but it is also true that 'Death Wish is the Daughter of Not Remembering Correctly.'

There's more, but a Laffertyesque fact is that they have mined the Ivory Islands north of Siberia for decades for ivory from mammoths--I always wondered where they got pool balls in Old West saloons before plastics.

Thus an ofspeg, Revelation as reminder of end of age catastrophic cataclysm.
