THE CONSTANT OF NINEVEH 33
versial part of the story is not so much the constellation map
as the intervals between the diflEerent signals from the alien
spacecraft. These intervals are always an exact number of seconds
of time and, as you know, our second of time is supposed to
be a human invention. Up to now, the Sumerians have been
credited with the fantastic idea of dividing the solar day in
86,400 equal parts they called seconds.
In other words, these alien astronauts from a distant planet in
outer space, who have been orbiting our planet in a spacecraft
for 13,000 years, knew from the very beginning that the human
race divided the solar day in 86,400 seconds of time. And how
could they know it unless they made the division themselves and
landed on the earth to teach the humans how to use the second
to measiure the passing of time?
And then everything becomes clear. Seven and nine have always
been sacred numbers. Their product multiplied by 100,000
gives us 6.3 million years. Multiplied then by the 360 days of the
year and by the 86,400 seconds of the day, we obtain the mysterious
Nineveh number of 195,955,200,000,000 seconds of time.
And since we know that the Nineveh Constant corresponds to
the exact length of the sidereal and tropical years as they were
64,800 years ago, this seems to indicate that the landing on earth
of the alien astronauts from Izar did actually occur about that
time or maybe a little bit later.
What happened next, we can only guess. It is quite possible
that, after inseminating and educating the human race, they
went back to their home planet to report on the results of their
mission and returned to our solar system only 13,000 years ago
when they thought the human race had become civilized
enough. As a strange coincidence, this was the time of the advanced
civilization of Atlantis, 1,000 years before its destruction
by a cosmic cataclysm, and it could very well be that survivors
fiom Atlantis or their descendants are still in orbit around the
earth, visiting us from time to time.
There is however something else in the discovery of Duncan
Lunan that seems to have escaped his brilliant mind. As I said
before, the ancient human year of 360 days does not make any
sense on the earth where it does not correspond to any astro-
