A MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS
OF ANCIENT HISTORY

Apollonius Website
HISTORY OF THE WORLD, from 1588 BCE
by Rob Solarion
Dallas, Texas, 3 August 2002
The explanatory treatise for these dates
is in preparation and will be uploaded later. Items such as "Attack
by Egypt on Judah, 12 Asa" mean that this attack occurred in the
12th year of Asa’s reign. All such year-entries
indicate cross-references within the sub-chronologies. The
Egyptians and Assyrians counted the passage of
years differently than the Israelites, a matter which will be
discussed later. When an entry has (= XXX), the name in parentheses
is the "ghost correlation" name or "mirror" historical
name of this Egyptian or Assyro-Babylonian ruler, as
is discussed in the Ages In Chaos series by Dr.
Immanuel Velikovsky, upon which this mathematical and
chronological analysis is based. Much more explanation will
eventually be provided here. This is such a complex subject, I am at
a loss, to some extent, in deciding exactly how to present it.
Please feel free to send me email if you have questions about any of
this.

The Synchronized Chronologies of Roman and Related Histories
By Robertino Solàrion
Dallas, Texas
20-04-2002
Update : 22 September 2004
In the following chronological synchronization, the initial years
are counted backwards as BCE, or Before Common
Era, using standard accepted astronomical calculations,
i.e., including a Year 0 between the old era and the current one,
bumping, for example, the "traditional" date for the
Founding of Rome forwards one year from 753 to 752 BCE. After
the Year 0, dates are considered AD, or CE, that is, Common Era. Put
another way, Christian 1 BC is followed immediately by Christian 1
AD, without the inclusion of a Year 0. Scientists consider 1 AD to
be +1, 1 BC as 0, and 2 BC as -1. Thus here, 1 BCE would be
equivalent to Christian 2 BC, and so on. Consequently, there could
be some BCE dates amongst the following items that are, accordingly,
out-of-synch by one year. This backward and awkward method for
determining historical chronology cries out for scientific
improvement, but I digress.
Many of these dates can be verified by various information found
elsewhere in this manuscript; however, there are included other
dates which are not discussed at present but were placed here solely
"for the record". See also the 2002 treatise L’Essai
Illimité by Nicolas Verger of Bordeaux, France -- and to
whom I express my gratitude for his collaboration in assembling this
chronology.
No attempt has been made here to cite the source for each and every
date, but you may rest assured that I have striven as diligently as
I could to achieve chronological accuracy. These dates were
assembled from a myriad of historical books and documents. Some of
them refer to the "period" or "era" of a certain writer or sect, and
these dates are not always noted as being "approximate", as are
certain others. However, I must say that quite a large portion of
this information was obtained from the brilliantly scholarly series
of Antiquarian Dictionaries that were published in London and
Boston in the 19th Century by Professor William Smith
and his European colleagues. By the "Hand of Fate"
presumably, I was fortunate to inherit this series of ten
dictionaries from my Great-Uncle Dr. Whitfield Leggett
Russell, who died in 1960. These dictionaries by Professor
Smith cover all aspects of the history of the Greco-Roman World.
Here, a lot of my information was obtained from A Dictionary of
Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology (3 Volumes) and
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (2 Volumes).
To be honest, I could never have completed this Apollonius
research and my companion Cosmic Tree research without
these priceless dictionaries, and my intellectual Uncle Whit’s
copies are actual first editions that were printed in London about
130 years ago but are still in remarkably pristine condition. To my
knowledge, they are no longer available for use by the general
public; certainly they are not for sale anywhere today, nor
available in unrestricted areas of such libraries as that of
Congress in Washington, D.C. Thank
you, Uncle Whit! My recent book (February 2004), PLANET X NIBIRU
: SLOW-MOTION DOOMSDAY, is dedicated to Uncle Whit.
Suffice it to say that if any doubting reader wishes to obtain a
source for a date or dispute a particular date’s accuracy, please
feel free to contact me about it, although I feel certain that any
Search Engine like Google can bring up documents relating to
most items of the chronology listed here. Also, if anyone notices
any minor errors in the information, please advise me by email.
Thanks. This current treatise is the culmination of four years of
work; and although it may be expanded or refined somewhat in the
future, for all practical purposes it is finished. But it sometimes
seems difficult for me personally to arrive at a final conclusion of
this research, because, as my French colleague Nicolas Verger
has noted, this is an "Unlimited Essay", the end of which may
never be truly understood within our own lifetimes.
The Trojan War and several of the earliest dates prior
to the time of Alexander III, The Great (such as the
placement of the Egyptian Rameside Dynasties), have been
chronicled according to the ideas of Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky
in Ages in Chaos; but it is purely my own conjecture that the
traditional placement of Pythagoras in the 500s is wrong and
that he should, in fact, be pushed back in time by 200 years. There
is no real "proof" for the actual time of Pythagoras,
who was born and lived in Crotona, Italy.
Lucius of Etruria asserted that Pythagoras indeed was
an Etruscan, implying that Pythagoras lived around the
time of the Founding of Rome; and Pythagoras actually
wrote what can only be interpreted as an "eyewitness account"
of what he called "The Counter Earth" (that is, "The
Cosmic Tree").
The Life of Apollonius of Tyana and Lives of the Sophists
by Flavius Philostratus have both been published in English
and Greek by Harvard University’s Loeb Classical Library.
Lives of the Sophists was published in the same volume with
Lives of the Philosophers and Sophists by Eunapius. See
the following chronology for additional details.
Here is a quote from the Harvard preface to Lives of the Sophists
by Philostratus:
"Philostratus has preserved the
renown of a number of these improvisators
[sophists/rhetoricians] who, but for him, would have perished as
completely as have the actors and dancers of those centuries.
More than half the sophists described by him are ignored even by
Suidas. Yet they were names to conjure with in the
schools of rhetoric all throughout the Roman world, until the
Christian Fathers and the rhetoric of the pulpit took the place
of the declaimers [sophists/rhetoricians]. Christianity was
fatal to Sophistic, which seems to wither like a Garden
of Adonis, never deeply rooted in the lives of the common
people. But sophists for centuries had educated
Christians and pagans alike, and it was from their hands,
unintelligent and sterile as they often were in their devotion
to Hellenic culture, that the Church received, though
without acknowledgement, the learning of which she boasted, and
which she in her turn preserved for us."
And here is a quote from Eunapius
himself, written about 150 years after Philostratus:
THE WRITERS WHO HAVE COMPILED A
HISTORY OF THE PHILOSOPHERS
"Porphyry and Sotion
compiled a history of philosophy and the LIVES of the
philosophers. But Porphyry, as it happened, ended with
Plato and his times, while Sotion, though he lived
before Porphyry, carried on his narrative, as we see, to
later times also. But the crop of philosophers and sophists who
came between Sotion and Porphyry was not described as
their importance and many-sidedness deserved: and therefore [Flavius]
Philostratus of Lemnios in a superficial and
agreeable style spat forth the LIVES of the philosophers no one
has recorded accurately. Among these latter were Ammonius of
Egypt, who was the teacher of the divine Plutarch,
and Plutarch himself, the charm and lyre of all philosophy;
Euphrates of Egypt and Dion of Bithynia, whom men
surnamed the golden-tongued; and Apollonius of Tyana, who
was not merely a philosopher but a demigod, half-god, half-man.
"For he [Apollonius] was a follower of the Pythagorean
doctrine, and he did much to publish that philosophy. But
Philostratus of Lemnios wrote a full account of
Apollonius, and titled his book THE LIFE OF APOLLONIUS,
though he ought to have called it THE VISIT OF GOD TO MANKIND.
Carneades also lived about this time, a celebrated figure
among the Cynics, if indeed we ought to take any
account of the Cynic school, among whom were Musonius,
Demetrius, and Menippus, and several others also;
but these were the more celebrated.
"Clear and accurate accounts of the lives of these men it was
impossible to discover, since, so far as I know, no one has
written them. But their own writings were and still are
sufficient records of their lives, filled as they are with such
erudition and thorough research in the field of ethics and also
that research which aspires to investigate the nature of things
and disperses like a mist the ignorance of such as are able to
follow.
"Thus, for example, the inspired Plutarch records in
statements scattered here and there in his books, both his own
life and that of his teacher; and he says that Ammonius
died at Athens. But he does not title these records a LIFE,
though he might well have done so, since his most successful
work is that which is titled THE PARALLEL LIVES of men
most celebrated for their deeds and achievements.
"But his own life and that of his teacher he scattered piecemeal
through every one of his books; so that if one should keep a
sharp look-out for these references and track them as they occur
and appear, and read them intelligently one after another, one
would know most of the events of their lives. Lucian of
Samosata, who usually took serious pains to raise a laugh,
wrote a life of Demonax, a philosopher of his own time,
and in that book and a very few others was wholly serious
throughout."

titled "Apollonius

this saga of writing and publication through time to our current
year of 2002 CE, only 10 short years away from the

some of you say that
there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no
resurrection of the dead,
then Christ has not been raised; if Christ has not been
raised, then our
preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even
found to be
misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he
raised Christ, whom he
did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.
For if the dead are not
raised, then Christ has not been raised. If Christ has not
been raised,
your faith is futile and you are still in your sins." I
