I was asked about the beginning of the use of Time pieces, and Calanders and all that, and it lead me to post this thread...
Can we continue to ignore the place of women in the mind of God? (Whichever you subscribe to believing in)
How is one related to the other? Read my answer on the Time question to see if there is a correlation I've made that you wish to Comment on...
Thanks for reading these "Few" lines... I'm trying to become less - LONGwinded... but I can breath and type so it's difficult at the least....
To my knowlede -
Which is as limited as this medium...
Time was first recorded by women...
Yes Women were the first recorded Mathmaticians...!
Bones were found near the bodies and homes of the ancient dead with hatch marks on them correlating to two things...
The lunar cycle
The Menstral cycle.
Which both correlate by referencing approximately 28 days in length...
Which is the amount of time the moon takes to travel its course around the Earth...
Which happens to be about 25 thousand miles around...
25 + 3 = 28
3 = a Trinity.
9 Planets controlled in gravity of 1 ... the Sun
9 major organs in the body controlled by 1 ... the Brain
So far we would be on a level playing field, (man and woman).
To control population in a terribly dangerous time of Hunting and Gathering, women began to make sure they kept their respective families, close to a number that was sustainable by their chosen mates...
Sustainability seems a Female concept as well... Not Nobel Gore's which makes a lot of commonly ascribed to sense.
If not Her concept, it was her responsibility to fight off a lusty boss Hunter, if it threatend to increase the "Herd" to a point that he may leave her out of a sense of the difficulty factor that walked hand in hand with more children...
A Week is 7 days... a month is 4 weeks, a month should be 28 days....!
The male dominated society that developed based the calendar on the Sun... a male archetype in the minds of the Gregorians... (we still use a Gregorian calander)
The gregorians are the off - shoot of the Greco-Roman peoples who borrowed almost exclusively from Egypt...
Egyptians worshipped the Man-God - Pharoah...
Pharoah represented Amon-Ra' - the god of the Light... or Sun.
The Gregorian Calendar, is an irregular Ruler... it loses about 25% of a day each 365 days.
Which months have 31?
It wouldnt matter if we kept it sensible...
If I measure, I want an unchanging standard so I use 12 inches.
Many societies use a combination of Solar and Lunar calanders...
Jewish ones like my Grandfathers' still do.
If we maitained a calander today of 28 days... we would have to leave a day off every four years instead of adding one ...
In the old calenders this was called , "The Day Out of Time".
One by - product of this would be that if you were born on a
tuesday, your birthday celebration would always fall on a
tuesday...
Forever
Cool huh?
But male dominated societies are flawed in so many ways that this is an acceptable loss to those that know and understand it.
If we suggested the change of the calendar, you would probally hear a huge out-cry of BLASPHEMEY !!! BLASPHEMEY !!!
So, does that mean that Man thinks
he should be God?
Or that Man thinks that Woman should
not be?
Or that if neither be God? At least let's , (
by any means necessary )
NOT FOCUS ON WOMEN ----EVER!----
The real question is "What is the fallout of all this ignoring of over half the population of the Earth? Their interpretation of their surroundings and everything else that led to our progress as a species?
Besides that "explanation" -
The first mechanized clocks with intervals of 60 seconds and minutes were actually given to Western Civilization by Middle Eastern and Far Eastern Society... like algebra and the schools that Newton studied science at were given by the Moors and the Turks.. not an apple tree.
The "timepieces" were literally childrens' toys!!! In the camp of a Sheik-prince.
Yes they were.
Find it in your travels through study, I did.
Those that passed it on to Western Explorers were actually surprised at their great interest in the devices, as they saw it a Ludicrous concept that one would attempt to
"...CLOCK THE HEAVENS."
