<HTML>What's this about the Ancients putting "great store" in solar eclipses ? In the whole canon of Egyptian writings there's <i>one</i> record that <i>might</i> be an eclipse. See <a href="[
abey.home.mindspring.com] OVER EGYPT</a> and you'll find "Though the sky had not swallowed the Moon, there was a great turmoil in the country." which as someone on another list once pointed out was a "poor excuse" for an eclipse....
Of course you could look at something that's not really serious <a href="[
