When was the first Chinese calendar invented?
All ancient nations know the Egyptian 365-day calendar is older than Chinese. They presume Egypt is 2782bc July 20 or 2770bc July 17. Back in 2637 B.C.E by Emperor Huangdi is a miscalculation of 1200 years before 1437bc when China switched from a 60-year system of 365-day calendar to a 76-year lunar to keep Sothic years. (Julian) Bible Genesis and Persian 365-day calendars prove that 1513bc switched the Pamenot new year to be a Thoth new year in 1513bc. This means the Egyptian calendar began 720 years later in 2030bc July 17 on what is now Persian Pamenot 1. The Chinese still did not inaugurate until after Egypt, and did so on 2029bc July 16. The Pamenot new year slips back from July 2029bc to Feb in 1437bc, which is 76-year lunar (4x 19) after 1513bc. This proves that Egypt is not the only place on Earth that had plagues and exodus migrations that year. All calendars pivot on 1513bc including the Chinese Noah's Flood of 2953bc (1440 years before it as 1460x 360 days to 1514bc and 1461x 360 days to 1513bc). This means if that Huangdis is not the emporer of 1420bc Bejing (600 years after Noah's 2020bc death, the christ leader gone to heaven), nor if Huangdi is not 1437bc city Xia which is 600 years x360 days after the 2029bc calendar, then since Chinese came from India of which half came from 1625bc Babylon, and the other half came from the fall of 1900bc Ur, then this 2029bc calendar of China was in the city of Ur, and this HUANGDI IS THE SAME KING REU AANIPADA the son of Peleg Mesanipada founder of Ur. Ur was founded 2239bc. Its year 740 recorded in 2233bc before 180 leap days of 730x 360 days were noted in 1513bc. And he made his son the world's first king over a family city in 2207bc (honored as 1460 years 365 leap days in Babylon's 747bc). Reu Aanipada was The Son ruling for The Father of The New City while the father is alive, and over other men and families who were older than him in Peleg's city Ur. His 80-year rule is 2207-2127bc where he gave his throne over to the king who saw Venus would return in 243 (Julian) years afer the Flood 2370bc. His first 60 years to 2148bc in 360-day calendar he created a 12-year Jupiter calendar beginning with Virgo as The Monkey where Jupiter is, which is after the Sheep and its star Regulus (which looks like a horse or lion; The Monkey zone has drifted to Leo). By counting back in curent Chinese, the Monkey is 2209bc, but these years were 360-day so that the 177-year kingship of Ur spans 180 years (3x60). When Peleg died in 2030bc, the system went 365-day in 2029bc and the year 945 of Noah is thus named Jin (Ren) as year 5 of decades in a year that shold be year 941 (Wu) in egyptian years (a gain of 4 years since the Flood). But Jin was kept for this Monkey Year 2029bc July 16, and the system continued drifting back leap days until it went Sothic in 1437bc in February to honor that 600 years (x360) of Peleg's death. Thus in 1437bc, the 360-day calendar said it was 600 years and so 10-year Jin and 12-year Monkey, but the 365-day calendar said it was only 592 years and so 10-year Kiah (Jia) and 12-year Rat. This is why the current system is from 1437bc and honors 600 back to 2029bc not 1200 back to 2637bc. And the 60 years of Ur's king (Haungdi or Reu Aanipada 2697-2637bc) is actually 2207-2148bc. He is given the immediate 60 before the Epoch (2029bc versus 2637bc) because he was still alive at 209 when the switch to 365-day occurred at the fall of 1st dynasty Ur in 2029bc. Before the 237bc Era came as 1200 years, it was already being said the calendar was made 1200 years before 1437bc (the foundation of the first city of China known as Xia). But the date of 360-day calendar on Feb 2 which is 11-27 in 1437bc and 5-27 in 237bc, marks 2637bc and 2157bc as 5-27 on Feb 2 because it actually comes from the start of the 60-day calendar at Noah's death when 40 days after he died on Greek Christmas Eve (Dec 24), a seance at Babel declared the spirit Xisuthros (Greek Christos) as speaking to them until rising on Egyptian date Thoth 24 which is Zoroaster Christmas Eve. This Thoth 24 on Feb 2 and is 360-day 5-27 which is always Chinese day Kia-Tse (Jia-Zi) start of 60-day cycle whose names are the same as 60-year cycle since 1437bc. Mayan calendar Pop 1 is Thoth 1 when their arrival at Volcano Cosiguino in 1314bc and Copan 1313bc resulted in believing 2021bc Dec 25 was the Pop 1 new year of Noah's death the eve before being Pop zero. This calculation which in 1313bc can only be presumed and reconstructed, does become a Dec 25 solstice in 560bc 1460 years 365 leap days after Noah's death, the same year Persian king Cyrus is made Persian Zoroaster Magi Christ, and the same year Chinese Buddha is born as their christ. Thus Mayan calendar is likewise Egyptian. But Mayan 360-day new year is 20 days after the 360-day calendar of Noah. For more details rschiller@wi.rr.com
Why do eyeglasses fog up when you come inside from the cold?
When you come inside from the cold, the warm air inside the room causes the lenses of your glasses to heat up. The moisture in the warm air then condenses on the cooler surface of the lenses, creating fog. This is a result of the temperature difference between the lenses and the surrounding air.
