Sorry, but the Earth is _not_ slowing down in the least. Even atomic clocks
have to be updated to reflect the Earth's rotational speed since it is so
precise it splits seconds. Some think that because a "leap second" is
added that the Earth is slowing down, but that is no different than us
adding an extra day every 4 years then dropping it back down again for the
next three. It's just uneveness.

Furthermore, the length of the year was precisely the same during the time
of Rameses II who built a pyramid with such precision that the sun would
enter his chamber precisely on his birthdate. It still works now.

Bottom line is, the Persians changed the lunar observation times during the
Seleucid Period and modern astronomers didn't realize these were
calculations to help cover up revisions in eariler periods.

In other words, for instance, two eclpse events, one in the 7th of Kambyses
adn one in the 2nd of Nabonidus per the revised chronology, happened to have
coincidentally corresponded to eclipses in the original chronology. Only
the precise times were not the same. Eclipses happened in the same month of
the new chronology but not the same hour. But in this case, adjusting the
time for the "7th year" eclipse is the same adjustment needed tor the "2nd
year Nabonidus" eclipse, and so they figured they would change the lunar
time. To do this would mean creating thousands of astronomical texts to
make this convincing with the revised lunar times. These were taken for
face value by modern scientists who couldn't figure out why the times were
12 hours off, etc. Not suspecting these were fabricated times, the
presumed the Earth's Rotational Speed was increased back then and thus the
Earth was gradually slowing, even though the length of the year in much
earlier times in the 14th Center BC during the 19th Dynasty of Egypt showed
it to be precisely the same as it is now, and even thuogh the Earth's
rotational speed is constant now to within a millisecond. During the
Neo-Babylonian Period, the delta-T is reduced three whole minutes about
every 5 years.

So the fake times don't work. Even the most effectively confirmed lunar
time, one mentioned even by Ptolemy of an eclipse occurring 1 hour before
midnight and that being confirmed by several copied astronomical texts via
the "SK400" which also times the first of two eclipses exactly "1 hour
before midnight" because some other reference from the Seleucid Period was
used to set the modern astronomy programs as far as lunar times and eclipse
times, this eclipse in 523BCE is some 57 minutes too early! It doesn't
occur at 1 hour before midnight but at 10:03 at Babylon.

But do you think that even bothers modern astronomers who are in love with
the math that calculates the precise drag of tides on the Earth's rotation?
Of course not. What doesn't work for them they simply ignore, pretend is
not there, or sweep under the rug while making all kinds of excuses.

But it's there! What's more, the SK400 which uses the revised lunar times
was created before the VAT4956, which uses the original times. Thus the
lunar position in the VAT4956 is some 13.5 hours askew from where it "should
be" based upon the astronomical programs, which, again, do not simply
calculate lunar events based upon the current Earth's rotation but on as
many ancient texts they can find and unfortunately that alignment is from
the Seleucid Period which is now suspect for lunar revision times, including
renaming some fixed stars to help camouflage this.

But now let's do a quick _reality check_! If some astronomer figured out
he'd make money selling some books and doing lectures about how the Earth's
Rotational Speed has always been the same, it wouldn't be any big surprise
to the Egyptians, know what I mean? Their year was calculated percisely the
same as ours. That corresponds with the Earth's current speed remaining
constant now. It's all explained though, when you face up to the times
from the Seleucid Texts as having alterior motive and being faked.

But it becomes an even bigger joke when after adjusting for the 12-16 hours
from the Seleucid Period, you keep adding more and more time at the same
rate as time goes farther back so that, as noted above, the Earth was
spinning so fast "you had to hang on!"

So what modern researchers need to do now is stop pretending there no lies
or manipulation of history in eariler periods and face up to revisionism
when it clearly presents itself. When historical documents are under the
control of the government, then you have to factor in motive for distortion
of accuracy. It's like today, if the CIA came out with some information,
who would believe it? We wouldn't because everybody knows the CIA is
designed to lie and to lie well! Of course, they are going to cover up
every claim with some logical explanation and lots of references, but we
know not to believe it. Well the same thing happened in ancient times.
The Persians and the Greeks were in a cold-war struggle and the lies
abounded. The records get discovered in modern times and, of course, we
just presume they are honest and straightforward records, but that is simply
not always the case. The same lies and coverups by the government, which
were necessary in times of war impact upon history, but this is not
appreciated effectively. So "junk in - junk out", when you apply a lie
scientifically, suddenly a specifically timed eclipse one hour before
midnight from two sources doesn't match up anymore; it's as simple as that.
