Recent Changes:

+ December 23, 2014: I continue to work on Chapter Twenty. If certain observers are correct and Marlowe's supposed death was meant to mimic that of Hiram Abiff, it would suggest that the year of Marlowe's encounter at Deptford was not simply fortuitous but was planned long in advance by the Freemasons to coincide with the return of Typhon. Which is not to say that the Star Chamber had anything to do with it, though one has to wonder who was ultimately responsible for bringing matters to a head in the year 1593. There are, in my estimation, too many coincidences operating here to be taken at face value.

+ March 20, 2015: I have made minor modifications to the various Indian timelines based on the work of Subhash Kak, a professor of computer science at the University of Oklahoma and a student of Indian chronology and the Vedas. Kak is one of the sources, along with Bal Tilak, for the work of B. G. Sidharth. I must admit that before reading Professor Kak, I was not aware of the degree to which the Aryan Invasion Theory has been undermined in recent years. The West appears to still have a vested interest in convincing the Indians that they made no meaningful contribution to the development of civilization.

I continue to work on the Shakespeare Authorship Problem in Chapter 20. What seems clear, after reading Richard Roe's The Shakespeare Guide to Italy, is that whoever wrote the plays not only visited Italy but spent significant time there traveling about gathering facts and impressions of the country. Unless someone can show that Williamum Shakspere, the investor in the Globe Theater and part-time actor, spent any amount of time outside of England, I have to assume at this point that he did not write the plays, and the field is open for other candidates, including my own current favorite, Samuel Daniel, "the sweetest swan of [the Salisbury] Avon."

+ July 26, 2015: In the process of researching the Shakespeare authorship problem, I have constructed a genealogy of some of the relevant characters. It turns out that many of these folks were either related or worked for someone who was related. Amazingly enough, even Giordano Bruno worked as a spy for Francis Walsingham during his time in England.

+ November 5, 2015: I have begun to incorporate the work of Laurin Johnson (Shining in the Ancient Sea) into chapters nine and fourteen, in regard to the identification of locations in the Odyssey with the lunar asterisms. I have also ordered a copy of Rose Hammond's Islands in the Sky, which promises to extend these identifications. In particular, Johnson sees the two Phalgunîs in the Indian zodiac as the fig tree encountered by Odysseus near the whirlpool. This tends to reinforce my identification of the letter yod, the Greek iota, with the equivalent symbol (ya) on the Phaistos disc. The whirlpool remains to be found.

+ January 17, 2016: I have made a minor modification to the genealogical chart in Chapter Two. It now appears that Nefertiti was the daughter of Ephraim/Ay rather than his half brother Amenhotep III/Manasseh. This means that Tutankhamun represented a merging of the two familial lines, as did Ankhesenpaaten, who eventually married General Seti after the death of Tut, thus founding the 19th dynasty.

+ July 30, 2016: The early part of the table of Egyptian dynasties in Chapter Eleven has been modified to agree with the fact that Typhon murdered Osiris, and thus presumably succeeded him on the throne of Egypt, and the suspicion that the two ruled during the reign of the "Shemsu-Hor" and not during the Predynastic Period. The possibility that Cain of the Hebrew bible was actually King Khayu is reinforced by the fact that Cain is Khayun in Hebrew. It also appears that Plato's Myth of Er refers to the Younger Horus, who ruled circa 3600 BC, whereas the Shemsu-Hor were founded by the Elder Horus, most likely in the fertile Sahara. Osiris, Typhon or Seth, and Horus were all sons of Geb or El, thus making them equivalent to the Elohim of the Hebrew bible. Interestingly enough, Seth, Cain, Lamech, and Noah all appear to have been kings of Upper Egypt, suggesting closer ties, between the Hebrews and Upper Egypt, than with the kings of Lower Egypt. The derivation of the Hebrew line from Menes and his successors would appear to have been through Sarah, Abraham's wife and, according to the current reconstruction, the sister of Thutmosis I.

+ August 29, 2016: I have added what little is known about the Younger Horus to the table of sources of the gospel story (or Greek play, if I am correct) in Chapter Twelve.

+ September 7, 2016: It is becoming clear that Mary Sidney was not only at the center of the creation of the works of "William Shakespeare," but that she was a driving force behind the remaking of the entirety of European thought and society.

+ December 18, 2016: I finally got around to decrypting the dedication to the Sonnets, which is much less obscure than the experts make it out to be, once the ridiculously complex grammar is converted into plain English. It reads, in fact, as follows:

The well-wishing adventurer, in setting forth,
wishes all happiness and that eternity promised by our ever-living poet,
to the only begetter of these ensuing sonnets, Mr. W.H.

Clearly, whoever wrote the Sonnets had just left England, their publication remaining in the hands of Thomas Thorpe, who expressed the author's wishes in the dedication but did not have access to him when publishing the manuscript, thus explaining the typographical errors and missing lines. That the author left England in 1609 rules out Oxford, who died in 1604, and militates against Shakespeare, who is not known to have ever left England, and retired to Stratford between 1611 and 1613. Neither is there any evidence whatsoever that any of the other candidates, including Bacon and the Countess of Pembroke, left England at this time; Sir Walter Raleigh was imprisoned in the Tower of London until 1616. This also gives the lie to the widely held belief that the Sonnets were pirated by Thorpe and that the author was averse to their publication. 400 years and these geniuses couldn't figure this out?

+ January 10, 2017: Doing research on Indian incense, of all things, I noticed that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, purportedly an incarnation of Krishna, was born in Bengal on February 18, 1486, the year before the appearance of Typhon in 1487. He has been added to the yellow table in Chapter Eight.

+ March 22, 2017: Part of Chapter Twenty has been posted. It is becoming more and more obvious, though Marlowe may very well have been the cometary avatar of 1593, that the plays and sonnets of "William Shakespeare" were written by Samuel Daniel.

+ April 1, 2017: The evidence continues to mount. It turns out that Samuel Daniel was in Italy in 1590 and 1591, six years before the publication of the first quarto of Romeo and Juliet and a shorter period before the play began to be enacted. His name actually appears in an autograph book owned by an Austrian law student who crossed the Alps with Daniel, the entry dated June 30, 1591, at Augusta, sandwiched between entries for Padua, west of Venice and east of Verona. I am working on a comparison of the sonnets of Daniel dedicated to Mary Sidney Herbert and those of "Shakespeare" dedicated to her son, William Herbert. I am also constructing a side-by-side chronology of the works of both men in the hopes of determining the actual production rate of the various works. It looks like Daniel generally wrote scholarly works and works for private distribution under his own name and works for the public stage under the pseudonym William Shakespeare. The latter will contain an enumeration of the persons to whom the various works were dedicated to the extent that they can be obtained.

+ April 26, 2017: It turns out that the spelling "Shake-speare," with a hyphen, associated by many with the goddess Athena, suggests, not a personal emblem as thought by some, but a reference to the ancient city of Athens, a university town and cultural center. The term "English Athens" or "Oxfordian Athens" was current at the end of the 16th century and referred to Oxford University, suggesting that the true author attended Oxford. It should be noted that neither Christopher Marlowe, nor Francis Bacon, nor Mary Sidney, nor even the earl of Oxford attended Oxford University. The earl, in fact, attended Cambridge. Mary Sidney's brothers and sons attended Oxford for various periods of time, as did Samuel Daniel, suggesting the proper milieu for study of the Authorship Question.

+ June 3, 2017: I have added a composite picture of Samuel Daniel and William Shakespeare to Chapter Twenty. It immediately becomes clear why the head of Shakespeare in the Droeshout engraving appears to be overly large. This is not the result of Shakespeare's giant brain. It occurred when the engraver substituted Shakespeare's head for that of Samuel Daniel, Daniel having a beard and Shakespeare not. The engraver failed to compensate for the beard and aligned the bottom of Shakespeare's chin with the bottom of Daniel's beard and the top of Shakespeare's head with the top of Daniel's head, thus making Shakespeare's head appear overly large.

+ December 25, 2017: I have normalized the final table in Chapter Twelve, assuming an average reign of 20 years. This places the gap in the timeline between Adam and Seth, thus bringing Chapter Eight into alignment with Chapter Twelve. It is clear that Adam is simply the "First Man," adi being the Sanskrit word for "first," as in "first among many."

+ January 2, 2018: I have posted Appendix E, a side by side comparison of sonnets 33–40 from Daniel's Delia with verses 1–18 of "Shakespeare's" Sonnets.

+ February 12, 2018: I have posted Appendix G, a representation of the ancient even-week year. This would have been in use during Tilak's Age of Orion.

+ December 31, 2018: Some additions have been made to the chronological table in Chapter Eight, including Chaitanya Mahaprabhu at AD 1487 and Dulduityn Danzanravjaa at AD 1803, as well as an asteroid impact in western Greenland and the end of the Clovis Culture in New Mexico at 10745 BC. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the main deity of Iskcon, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, the so-called Hare Krishnas. Dulduityn Danzanravjaa was the 5th Noyon Khutagt of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia.

+ January 11, 2019: I believe I have found an alignment of the Hyksos kings (previously aligned with the Six Spirits that preceded the Shang Dynasty in China) with six Indian kings that ruled toward the very end of the Late Harappa Culture and closely preceded Nami Nath, the 21st Jain Tirthankara, and the beginning of the Post-Harappa Cultures, the latter two events being synchronous with a return of the comet of Typhon. It would appear that these six "Asiatic" kings extended their influence far beyond Egypt to much of civilized Asia. Exactly who these folks were remains a mystery, though they may be connected in some way with the Phoenicians.

+ September 6, 2019: I have added a short section on the presence of the Hyksos (read Phoenicians) in India and China to Chapter Thirteen.

+ June 4, 2020: I have made some minor changes to the dates of the onset of the Younger Dryas and the beginning of the Holocene epoch in Chapter Eight to bring them into alignment with currently accepted dating. These changes tend to clarify the appearance of carbon datable samples and the King Clone creosote ring.

+ November 16, 2020: I have realigned the beginning of the Mature Period of the Harappa Culture in Appendix D, and thus the period during which the Indus Valley Script was in use, with the reign of Sénajíta. Thus, this period would now appear to run from the reign of Sénajíta, circa 2600 BC, to the reign of Ramachandra, circa 1900 BC, including that of Sargon and his son. This places all of the kings mentioned in the Ramayana as well as earlier kings during the Mature Harappa Period. Whether this will help in the decipherment of the script is currently unknown. The identification of the Harappans with the Sumerians is from Malati J. Shendge.

+ December 14, 2020: I have added Hazarmaveth ("Saraswati") to the map of the Akkadian Empire in Chapter Eleven. It's exact position is at present unknown except that it must have been on the banks of the Saraswati River.

+ January 26, 2021: I have altered slightly the date of the Mahabharata War in Appendix D and elsewhere to 3011 BC in line with the dates formerly extracted for the rise of Zeus to the kingship of Crete and Egypt. This places the war at Kurukshetra at the appearance of Yudhishthira in the king list of India.
