38 OUR ANCESTORS CAME FROM OUTER SPACE
covered, to ioiow the precise length of its sidereal year. If it is
90,720 days and not 90,727 as preliminary observations project,
we will have more proof concerning the Nineveh Constant.
Strangely enough, the number 90,720 is
entered on the second
line of the fifth group of the Sumerian mathematical series of the
constant.
What we still do not know is who the astronauts were who
brought knowledge about Pluto to our ancestors. But whoever
they were these astronauts also instructed our forefathers about
the existence of Proserpine, a planet much larger than our earth
at a distance of over 12 billion kilometers from the sun, with a
revolution period of 512 terrestrial years.
Nobody on earth can say for sure that they have seen Proserpine
and I doubt very much that it
ever will be visible from a
terrestrial vantage point. Yet our ancestors had knowledge of its
existence. Some people might be surprised about my assurance
that our ancestors knew the planets Uranus and Neptune as well
as the precession of the equinoxes. This assurance is shared
today by many authors trying to explain our ancestors' astonishing
knowledge of astronomy.
A good example is the planet Uranus which is usually not visible
with the naked eye, but sometimes shows up for a few weeks
with an apparent diameter bigger than Mars at its
greatest distance
from earth. Uranus was well known long before its
oflBcial
discovery by Sir William Herschel in 1781, but it took some time
to make sure that it was a planet and not a star. The ancient astrologers
also could have noticed the acceleration and slowing
down of a known planet when it passed another unknown
planet. At the last conjunction of Uranus and Saturn on May 4,
1942, the acceleration of Saturn was 2 minutes a day in February,
4 minutes in March, 6 in April, 8 in May, then 7 in June, 6 in
July, 4 in August, and 2 in September when the conjunction of
these two planets was over. By this same method Neptune was
discovered in 1846 by Urbain Leverrier in France and by J.
C.
Adams in England.
There is some talk at this time about the big conjunction of
planets that will take place in 1982. All our nine major planets
will be assembled on one side of the sun. Some people have expressed
fear that the combined force of attraction could cause
