PART 2
Based upon the strict application of the timing of the
SK400 Tammuz 14 eclipse, which we have precise
confirmation of timing, an "earth rotational"
differential from the current canons has been
established of 16:14.
The delta-T adjustment for
541BCE, when the Honolulu adjustment is made is
2:27. Here's how it affected a previously charted
eclipse event in 605BCE previously discussed here.
This 605BCE eclipse was mentioned in an
Assyrian
text found in the palace of Ashurbanipal and it spoke
of Jupiter setting which the eclipse was in progress.
It was tentatively dated on June 23, 605BCE but before
these final adjustments, was not a perfect match.
But now it is!
P.S. IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING....605 B.C.E. JUPITER SETS!
Yes, in case you were wondering, when we last left the
605BCE eclipse event wherein Jupiter must set while the
moon was eclipsed, at last check with
the simple Honolulu
adjustment, Jupiter set at 23:34 and the eclipse began
at 24:21 and therefore Jupiter set some 43 minutes before
the eclipse even started. Thus it did not match the text
which required Jupiter to set while
the Moon was eclipsed.
BUT....
Based upon the specific SK400 adjustment, however, it is
necessary to move the eclipse up by 2:45. That's because
the difference in delta-T from 541 to 605 is about 18 minutes.
Again, to repeat,
the Honolulu offset takes away 13:47 from
the 16:14 total offset leaving a 541BCE adjustment of 2:27.
It is to this 2:27 that we add and subtract variances in the
delta-T depending upon the difference in the delta-T
when
compared with 541BCE.
So in this case, in 605 BCE at about 5:00 delta-T compared
to 4:42 in 541BCE, there is an 18 minute increase. Thus we add
18 minutes to our 2:27 time and get a 2:45 post-Honolulu
additional
adjustment time.
The revised eclipse times for the June 16, -604 (605BC) eclipse
are: Beginning of eclipse at 21:46, total phase begins at 23:04
and ends at 00:07, and and eclipse ends at 01:11. That means,
with the
readjustment, Jupiter, which sets at 23:34 now sets
during middle of TOTAL PHASE which was between 23:14 and 00:07.
So Jupiter not only sets while the moon is eclipsed, it sets
during TOTAL PHASE!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Ha!...... So now I gain back 605BCE,
Honolulu withstanding with the SK400 adjustment. But at least
this forced me to be more specific!
Of course, I'll probably have to redo this later, so I better
not laugh too loud! We'll
see if this holds after COJ and
AF take this apart! But this is the TEXT-GENERATED would be
adjustments for the above critical events, all of which still
can be dated during the original chronology dating the fall
of Jerusalem
in 529BCE, and actually, as you see, it truly
improves the observations quite specifically!
Bye folks!
