ORIGINAL: Nslavu No. It is not from my link. It is a dog bone link you can chase off the link you supplied from your god wiki. You'll also note it says By Decree meaning some king decides what is and what isn't. It's the link you supplied within the text "13 Babylonian Periods/Calendar 13" that doesn't even support what you're saying. You can't just markup some words and expect me to believe it's a proper cite, I click that shit. And yes, a King (or a priesthood) decided when a thirteenth month was tacked on. So to answer your question "Why were they doing 13?" the answer would be because their standard 12 month calendar had a tendency to get a bit irregular. Wiki's not my god, it's just the quickest way to provide cited contradiction to posted misinformation. quote:
Archaeologists? Okay, let's use shovels to understand the stars. Are they writing horoscopes now? Tomorrow you will come face to face with an angry dinosaur but since they no longer exist that shit in your pants is only indicative of what you believe. This conversation's not about the stars though, it's about history, and whether the original zodiac, as you claimed, had 13 star signs. Everything you said in your original post about the zodiacs of ancient civilizations is false. Or, at the very least, believed to be untrue. quote:
There is no original 12. That was done by decree, by edict as was the thirty degree nonsense. It is only what they (wiki edicts) refer to as 'original'. This what you're not getting, word bender. You're right, the 'original' Babylonian zodiac was 17 or 18, but the first standardized Western zodiac had 12 star signs. quote:
Even if I were to acquiesce to your wiki's tendency to regurgitate the 'official' word as decreed by some Nobles many years ago, I would expect you to chase all the links within those pages, their references, then scrutinize who's word it is, then chase the discussion section and it's links with the same critical eye. The fact that none (or few) of those links are astrologers stops me because this is like believing archaeologist can perform brain surgery and just taking their word for it. You had such a big sook over people criticizing youtube, I'm laughing at these digs at wiki. Dude...even the astrology page you linked said that the original standard zodiac had twelve signs and the reason there should be thirteen today is because the earth has precessed and now travels through thirteen signs. I can sorta understand if you don't want to use my sources, it's cheap but I'm used to it, but you're the one who linked that astrology site, asked me if I understood what precession of the earth is, and then...completely disregarded both in favor of a theory that relies on the earth having been tilted to the same degree thousands of years ago. quote:
This was however a nice little exercise in avoiding your fallacies that somehow Reagan's belief in astrology makes Kennedy's speech on 'shadow governments' nonsense. Kennedy Speech This kind of shit will get you killed. George Washington Letters Wary of fundamentalists and Illuminati. A lot of reading here, but this shows essentially what the American revolution was about. An attempt to get away from the edicts and official decree rulers in Europe. aka The Lords and or Nobles. On the other hand he was on the cusp of Aquarius/Pisces and those people are nutty like Reagan was. He too was aquarius :-D I'll watch them when the hangover goes away. XD
