Cyclic Events in Dendrochronology and Historic Synchronicity

By C. James Conway   http://www.scn.org/~bb089/    Jan. 1998

     This study is to ascertain whether or not major traditional historic
events are cyclic and worldwide in scope.  Worldwide climatic events and 
human dynastic changes have been proposed before but only as random long
term cycles.  The focus will be on dendrochronology and traditional 
historic chronology because biological systems are more sensitive to 
climatic and environmental changes that maximize what humans would record
as significant.  In both dendrochronologies and traditional historic 
chronologies two cycles in ratio (T) 6/181 and (V) 32/1001 years were 
evident.  Because the two extraterrestrial agents had different orbital 
ratios it was possible to deduce synchronicity of the dendrochronological 
sequence to the time line.  The cycle of Earth encounters indicated that 
the traditional chronology of ancient king lists of Ireland were 
internally correct and that the Irish bog dendrochronology was out of 
sync just before the present era by near a century further from our time.

Traditional Chronologies

     Ancient chronologies offer 1530 BCE as a target date for extreme 
irregular tree ring signatures.  In Egyptian chronology it is known that
the 12th dynasty ended about 1780 BCE.  Josephus next gives the 15th 
dynasty, which Manetho gives a length of about 250 years (1780 BCE - 250 =
1530 BCE).  Hebrew chronology gives the same target by Jacob being born 
in 1980 BCE, living in Egypt at the age of 130 (1850 BCE), and Israel 
continuing in Egypt for a four century stay until Moses was 80 years old 
or 1450 BCE, which gives a birth year for Moses of 1530 BCE when Egypt 
came to be ruled by a foreign power after the flood of Ogyges.  This 
synchronicity agrees with traditional ancient Irish chronology that dates 
when 3/4 of Irelands population died occurring at the end of Tighernmas' 
reign in 1535 BCE.  The traditional sync of 432 CE for the year of St. 
Patrick's coming to Ireland in the 4th year of Laeghaire would add 
another eight years, but that sync (432) is symbolic of Earth's 
precession (432 x 60 = 25,920) and contrary to its internal cyclic 
events.  Traditional Egyptian, Hebrew, and Sumerian chronologies all hold 
2044 BCE as the date of the great event that ended the Dynasty of Ur III,
the beginning of the Middle Kingdom, and the events during Abraham's time
which ended the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.  Six hundred and four years 
later the events of the exodus occurred in 1440 BCE which 90 years before 
was at the beginning of foreign rule in Egypt in 1530 BCE.  Other 
important traditional dates for the synchronicity in the cycles are the 
first Olympiad (776 BCE), the era of Nabonassar (747 BCE), the 
traditional Chinese year when it rained stars and the Earth shook (687 
BCE), and the traditional date of the death of Alexander the Great (324 
BCE).  All together with many other traditional dates found in chronicles 
calculate an average ratio (T) 6/181 years.  The second cycle can be 
calculated by the dates of 747 BCE, 410 CE or the traditional date of the 
fall of Rome, 535 CE or a year before the tree ring signature of the 
dust-veil event, and 1755 CE or the date of the Lisbon earthquake gives a 
ratio (V) 32/1001 years (Clayton James Conway, _KJH_, 1995, introduction 
(1998), part 4, http://www.std.com/obi/Religion/KJH/).

     The internal synchronicity of the cycle ratio T and V with the Irish 
dates are exact to the 9th century BCE or earlier and a single year off
from the 13th to the 16th century BCE with a sync to the time line 8 years
closer to our time than given in the Annals of the Four Masters (see table 1).

     Both dendrochronology and traditional historic chronology evident
cyclic events in ratio T (6/181) and V (32/1001) years that converged 
together at the 747 BCE event (Velikovsky 1950).

     The ancient Irish plague dates missed cyclic T and V event dates by 
a single year in the second millennium BCE until the end of the reign of 
Tighernmas where the traditional target date (1530 BCE) was missed by 5 
years.  The Irish bog dendrochronological sequence by T and V cycle 
comparisons was 4 rings short for a total of five rings of separation for 
the gap between the Irish long chronology and Garry Bog 2 (GB2), 15 rings 
too many between 1626 and 1159, 3 rings too many between the 2354 and 2345 
markers, 4 rings short between 3195 and 2354, and 82 years out of sync 
too far from our time at the point 1159 (1077 BCE) at a T cycle signature
sync.

     Multiple processes and events can now be viewed as symptoms of single 
agents for the greatest part of unusual markers in the records of nature.  
Volcanic eruptions, magnetic phenomena like polar reversals, mass 
extinction's, and land deformations occurred all together catastrophically. 

     Cyclic events in ratio T and V years are confirmed by traditional 
historic chronologies and dendrochronological sequences.


Traditional Irish Chronology


     Since 12 years is actually used in the chronicle for Art's reign and
not the 6 years written in for the number, the period of 150 years for 
Sirna, however this particular period length was derived, is too great by 
a single year because such a reduction would match the V cycle (1248 BCE) 
plague at the end of the reign of Fionnachta that also would continue for 
a match at the end of the reign of Fiacha to a T cycle (1199 BCE).  But 
Fionnachta's own reign length would need to be increased from 20 to 22 or 
an overall gain of a single year in the chronological count in order for 
the plague of Muinemhon to match the T cycle of 1320 BCE that also allows 
Roitheachtaigh's reign to end at the T cycle of 1350 BCE 30 years 
before.  These minor manipulations place the end of the interregnum at 
1529 BCE so that the non compliant decreased numerical number 6 (half the 
chronicle length of 12 years) written in for Art's reign was an attempt 
to bring the correct count back that was offset by the use of the 
symbolic number seven (7 - 6 = 1) for the number of interregnum years 
after the death of 3/4 of the islands population which ended the reign 
and life of Tighernmas at the historic target date of 1530 BCE.  This 
makes the real length of the interregnum to have been a single year or 
the same length as the interregnum period Egypt experienced also at this
time.  The same cycles confirm internal Roman chronology with a sync 4 
years closer to our time than the present usage with many cycle 
correlation's as do other ancient chronologies in matching to the 
synchronicity of these cycles.  In particular the event of 535 CE 
(Baillie 1994) that is marked in tree rings a year after the event is the
same (V) cycle as the 692 CE Irish animal mortality and the plagues of 
Enda and Fionnachta with a sync 8 years closer to our time than in the 
Four Masters.

     Although there are some difficulties involved with the historic 
chronological uncertainties for Irish and Hebrew constructs they are not
of the magnitude of a century displacement or even *two decades* maximum.
The historic accounts comply with T and V cycles internally so a century 
displacement for the historic target date (1530 BCE) is not possible.


Dendrochronology


     Since the 1627 BCE irregular tree ring signature for bristlecone 
pine comes from a living chronology, it may correlate to the dominate T 
cycle of a 1620 BCE signature sync.  If this is correct, both bristlecone 
pine and Irish bog sequences have within their ring counts double annual 
tree ring growths for some seasons (see table 2).  But in order for any 
double ring growths to have gone unnoticed in the count would require 
them to have been general _worldwide_ occurrences and conditions.

Top row is the present Irish bog irregular signature sync dates BCE.
Middle row is cycle sync signature dates BCE a year after the events 
except for 867 BCE and possibly 143 BCE as tree killing events.
Bottom row is the sync difference.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

     The most significant data for synchronicity in table 2 is the 18 tree
rings between 1159 and 1141 and the 9 rings between 2354 and 2345 because
the first markers were evident of environmental stress on the trees which
was not relieved until another event caused the former condition to be
changed. If the 18 and 9 ring separations between signatures were caused
by the different T and V cycles, it is easy to know the correct century
they occurred in. The difference between cycle T and V in the twelfth
century BCE is 15 years while it is 18 years for the eleventh century BCE
at 1078 BCE (T) and 1060 BCE (V) which upholds the historical target date
(1530 BCE) sync.  There are 3 years of separation between the two cycles
in the 24th century BCE and 6 years separation in the 23rd century BCE. 
Since there are 9 tree rings separating the beginning of the tree stress
(2354) and the narrowest ring in the sequence (2345), the present Irish
bog sync (1626) would require 3 years of *triple* ring growths.  The
traditional historic sync (1530 BCE) requires but 3 years of double ring
growths during 6 years time.  The 15 ring difference (97 and 82) between
the dendrochronological sequence and the cycle signature dates is caused
by the pressures on the weakest links and gaps to conform to incorrect
syncs.  Between the long chronology and GB2 a shortening of the gap
sequence by 4 rings occurs, an over extension of 15 rings by 1626, and a
shortage by 4 rings before 2354 sync in the Irish bog dendrochronological
sequences for a total net gain of 7 rings.  Eight rings of the 15 ring
increase between 1626 and 1159 are due to the need for the two ends of the
long chronology to correlate to other internally correct 
dendrochronological sequences in a natural equilibrium   (-4 + 8 - 4 = 0). 
The other 7 rings comes from synchronizing to the bristlecone pine that
has a frost ring at 206 BCE but is a T cycle signature sync date of 202 
BCE or 4 years closer to our time.  The last 3 rings are likely due to 
the bristlecone pine sequence having 3 double ring growths between 206 
and 1627 matching to a T cycle signature sync of 1620 BCE (3 rings over a
year to ring count and 4 years off the correct sync accounting for the 7 
extra additional years that the Irish bog had to increase by to match the
bristlecone pine sync).  Bristlecone pine has 4 rings too many for a ring
to year count before its 206 (202 BCE) ring.

     Why is this target signature date (1529 BCE) so much more pronounced
than nearly all the others in the tree ring record?  The answer could be
in the synchronicity of the two cycles in the 16th century BCE.  The T 
cycle came a year late (1530 BCE) according to the traditional historical
chronologies and the V cycle came the next year in 1529 BCE.  Instead of
the environment being devastated and allowed some time to recover to an 
ecological balance it was struck again when it had not recovered from the
first strike creating an environmental break down and ecological collapse
leaving extreme marks in the tree rings.

     The irregular tree ring signatures between bristlecone pine at 1627
BCE and the sync of 1626 BCE in the Irish bog are actually 91 years apart 
so that by natural extension the sequence constructs between the end of 
GB2 and Teeshan that begins at 13 BCE are incorrect in sync.  Furthermore,
the German dendrochronology that synchronized the end of GB2 to 158 BCE 
instead of 143 BCE has its own sync error of 15 years too far from our 
own time.  If the end of the sequence was again pushed back from the 
point it was previously done for 26 years [369 to 395 CE] (Hollstein 
1980), the result would be 410 CE or a V cycle event date and the 
traditional date (1163rd year) when the city of Rome fell.  The breaking 
of the German dendrochronological sequence at the mid 6th century BCE and 
the inserting of an arbitrary extra 71 tree rings (71 + 15 = 86) at 500 
BCE (Pilcher, Baillie, Schmidt, and Becker 1984; Schmidt and Freundlich 
1984) in order to match the present sync of the Irish bog dendrochronology
has no basis.

     The near century gap of *missing* oaks between the end of the Dorsey 
extended chronology (95 BCE) to the beginning of Teeshan (13 BCE) is
caused by the incorrect sync.  No gap of missing oaks actually exists 
because Dorsey is connected to GB2, the 207 BCE narrowest ring of the 
first millennium BCE is a V cycle signature sync (121 BCE), and the 
chronology bridges Teeshan ending at 9 BCE.  The narrowest ring is 22 
rings after the end of GB2 (143 BCE).  To be looked for in the 
dendrochronology and geological record is the great earthquake that 
occurred in the 7th year of Herod the Great.  As a T cycle signature sync
(22 BCE) it would be 99 years after the narrowest ring.

     The significance of this paper is that extraterrestrial agents for T
and V cycles are undeniable and as a mere byproduct an independent means 
of measuring and verifying chronology exists.


Comment


     A down dating of the Thera (Santorini) eruption from 1628/7 BCE to
1530 BCE would be held by Egyptologists as a vindication of Egyptian
conventional chronology, but there has never been any substantial reason 
to connect the 18th dynasty to this Thera (Santorini) eruption.  
Moreover, Manetho held that the period of foreign rule in Egypt was 511 
years which began *after* the historical target date (1530 BCE) where 
the conventional *ends* foreign rule.  Egyptian chronology of the second 
millennium BCE will never be correct until the synchronisms in 
traditional Hebrew chronological events are followed.
