Hello everyone, I have been writing a book for the past 8 years, mostly about science, as I have two degrees one in mathematics and one in physics. But that portion of my book has been completed, and now I am on to the History section.
What I would like to do as a member of this forum is have a free exchange of ideas on what really took place in the past. I have what I believe is a novel approach to history, I have been using astronomy software to date eclipses that are discussed in historical literature. Then I use the data obtained in the form of Julian day numbers of the eclipses to perform calendrical analysis. Once you know when the various calendars were implemented, it makes it easier to understand the chronology of events discussed by dates in various calendar systems.
I found SH because I have a number of ideas that go against certain Historian's version of "the truth". I was recently banned from Alternate history, because I ran a novel idea by them. I was respectful, and said I wanted help, but they still banned me. I don't want the same thing to happen here.
I look forward to contributing to the community, and I look forward to assistance by the community with my book. Any genuine addition to my book will be given credit in the footnotes, if that credit is so desired.
Thank you
