What Herodotus the Halicarnassian has learnt by inquiry is here set forth: in order that so the memory of the past may not be blotted out from among men by time, and that great and marvellous deeds done by Greeks and foreigners and especially the reason why they warred against each other may not lack renown. - Herodotus.
Let’s take a brief look at New Babylonian time in the 5th century BC. Some interesting problematic issues can be identified that need to be resolved in order to get the historiography of that time in a satisfactory form.
Perhaps everyone interested in reading, for example, the history of Assyria, Babylon and Egypt, has at some point noticed some references to solar eclipses observed at that distant time. Taking a glance at the chronologies of those peoples, it can be stated that the solar eclipses observed cannot be found in the reign periods of those kings. The Author has discovered this scientific vacuum and he has considered it to be an appropriate opportunity to specify the chronologies of the peoples reigning in the Middle East in 1600-530 BC in connection with accordance of the observed eclipses. This study raises justified questions: did the solar eclipse observed in Ashur-Dan III's 9th regnal year in 800 BC or in 809 BC? Or could it have happened in 791 BC? This study presents a new feature of applying new studies by Egyptian astronomer Aymen M. Ibrahim for the first time in practice to the history of the peoples. This new study can be regarded very exceptional, as this is the world's first major encouragement of how a chronology can be timed using solar eclipses. This Book includes 74 images and more than 40 tables and text boxes.

”The calculated location of the ancient solar eclipses could have an error of up to about 10 kilometers.” This statement by the U.S. Space Administration NASA is a scientific outstretching of how ancient eclipses can be found. When numerous eclipses observed in ancient times are applied to that measure set by science, they reveal a very significant secret of ancient history. Another significant factor is the lunar eclipses of the ancient Ur III dynasty. Can they be found? And what does everything have to be considered in order to find them? Why haven’t scientists discovered the double eclipse of Babylon?

Tarkastelkaamme lyhyesti Uus-Babylonian aikaa 500-luvulla eaa. Voidaan havaita joitakin mielenkiintosia ongelmallisia kysymyksiä, jotka vaativat ratkaisua, jotta saadaan historiankirjoitus tuolta ajalta tyydyttävään muotoon.
This volume presents multiple perspectives on the uses of the history of mathematics for teaching and learning, including the value of historical topics in challenging mathematics tasks, for provoking teachers’ reflection on the nature of mathematics, curriculum development questions that mirror earlier pedagogical choices in the history of mathematics education, and the history of technological innovations in the teaching and learning of mathematics. An ethnomathematical perspective on the history of mathematics challenges readers to appreciate the role of mathematics in perpetuating consequences of colonialism. Histories of the textbook and its uses offer interesting insights into how te...
Da diversi anni si è giunti a ritenere che l’Antico Testamento sia stato scritto non da un solo uomo che si riteneva dovesse essere stato Mosè, che doveva essere stato un testimone dei fatti da lui descritti, ma che la Sua compilazione sia avvenuta secoli dopo gli avvenimenti narrati da una scuola di pensiero all’interno della Chiesa primitiva ebraica. Successivamente i risultati delle ricerche archeologiche confortate delle datazioni al radiocarbonio hanno dimostrato che fosse necessaria una riscrittura della storia d’Israele, riscrittura che comunque non incrinava la tesi che uno stato d’Israele potente e unitario fosse realmente esistito sotto Davide e Salomone, e che fosse real...
Historian tietojen mukaan kaukana menneisyydessä on tapahtunut kaksi kaksoispimennystä. Näissä auringon- ja kuunpimennys oli havaittavissa kahden viikon välein. Outoa asiassa on se, että kumpaakaan näistä ei ole löydettävissä hyvin selkeällä tavalla.
