1. Please keep it polite, folks. 2. I've just deleted two posts discussing the definition of God. Let's stick to the basic thread. Discussing what pantheism means is ok (but not getting anywhere and starting to heat things up unnecessarily), but trying to define god is getting into the religious sphere.by DougWeller - Ancient History

Abram (I presume this is Abraham of the Old Testamentis not an historical personage. Gilgamesh on the other hand was almost certainly a real king of Uruk. It might help to agree on what pantheism means. The Oxford dictionary gives 2 definitions: 1. a doctrine which identifies god with the universe, or regards the universe as a manifestation of god. 2.

Different parts of Britain have different amounts of snow.

Birmingham, England hasn't had deep snow for over a couple of decades. And I think the last time there was a lot of news about cows having to be fed by helicopter anywhere in England was that long ago. If we are lucky in Birmingham it snows once enough to build a snowman, but that goes within a day or so. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History

Thanks Stephen. But the 304 day 'year' also had a winter period which had no named months - in other words the year wasn't actually 304 days, it was 304 days plus a winter period. Dougby DougWeller - Ancient History
I'd like comments on the claims below from their 1982 book The Cosmic Serpent. I know that the early Roman calendar had an unnumbered winter period which people think was probably 60-61 days, and I don't think they can back up that claim, but does anyone know anything about the others Aubrey ring and Mayan calendar claims?
