The Mysteries Of Chronology

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the evolution of the calendar system, the book examines the origins and historical discrepancies of calendars like the Julian and Gregorian. Arbuthnot proposes the establishment of a new Victorian era starting January 1, 1837, to streamline the calendar and reduce confusion from multiple eras. It also discusses timekeeping history, astrology's influence, and the role of astronomical observations in defining a year. This exploration offers insights into the complexities of chronology and presents a compelling case for reforming our understanding of time.
