Systems of chronology

The many systems of chronology adopted by different nations at different times are usually the source of great confusion to later historians and archaeologists in their attempt to fix the periods of history. However, whenever the ancients mentioned the position, during their own times, of the planets or of the equinoxes in reference to the zodiac constellations, the chronological  era of such a men in world history can be determined with exactness. An illustration of the truth of this claim, and one which incidentally proves the great astronomical learning of the ancient Egyptians, Who could do correctly place the planets is a mummy’s  coffin, now in the British Museum which bears on its cover zodiacal representation of the planetary positions at the time the dead Egyptian was embalmed. Calculations by modern astronomers have proved that on the precise date of October 7, 1722 BC, the planets and luminaries were the exact position as shown on the coffin design. The mummy can thus be assigned undeniable antiquity of 17 centuries before Christ.

All ancient and modern methods of measuring years are based either punch solar or luminary phenomena. Just as a sundial will show the exact time of true noon in any locality, regardless of what system of mean or standard time may be used there, so man has no accurate reference of the passage of time in the world cycles through the ages, except the testimony of celestial phenomenon.
