This book presents the basic fundamentals of descriptive archaeoastronomy and its application to the astronomical descriptions found in ancient Indian scriptures. Archaeoastronomy is a branch of positional astronomy that helps to determine the epochs of ancient astronomical alignments and special astronomical events. In this book, only the descriptions of special stellar alignments and events found in ancient texts can identify the antiquity of the descriptions. India possesses a large volume of ancient scriptures like Vedas and Puranas which contain many astronomical descriptions as in ancient India positional astronomy was well developed. The antiquities of these texts are determined through archaeoastronomical techniques. Major events like Mahabharata War are dated and using these dates a chronology of ancient India is determined. The astronomically determined chronology is compared with the results from various archaeological, palaeoclimatological, geological and genealogical investigations of ancient India. This introductory book interests readers interested in unveiling the mystery involved with the protohistory of this ancient civilization.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1862 edition. Excerpt: ... astrologiques, ce besoin primitif et uniinstants ou ils se trouvent dans ce plan. Vingt-versel de l'esprit humain." Journal des Savants, huit etoiles, reparties sur le contour du ciel, et 1861, (p. 9.) toujours les memes, leur servent comme autant de Though I had hoped that some one better qualified than myself would vindicate the Indian origin of the ancient Indian astronomy, and though I consider Professor Whitney, who, to an extensive acquaintance with astronomy adds a scholar-like knowledge of Sanskrit, an antagonist even more formidable than Biot, yet, as I protested against the conclusions of the one, I feel bound to oppose the arguments of the other. I do not see that we gain any thing by assuming an indirect instead of a direct importation of Chinese wisdom into India, particularly if the intermediate stage seems to have no other object than to bring the scientific discoveries of the Chinese down to the level of the Indian understanding. Nor do I see that we fare better if, as Professor Weber proposes, we admit a spreading of astronomical knowledge from a Semitic centre, and assume the fundamental notions of chrononomy to have been imported from Babylon to China on one side, and to India on the other. I differ toto ccelo from every one of these theories. I feel as strongly to-day as I did when, in the year 1846,1 read at Paris the articles then published by Biot, that the Brahmans cannot have borrowed the idea of the Nakshatras from the Chinese. I maintain, 1. that the Nakshatras were suggested to the Hindus by the moon's sidereal revolution; 2. that they were intended to mark certain equal divisions of the heavens; and 3. that their number was originally twenty-seven, not twenty-eight.

So far as the chronology of Indian history is concerned, Indian writers were well versed in astronomy. They have given astronomical dateline everywhere whether it is literary sources or epigraphic records. So, the need is to formulate an ancient calendar so that the dateline given into literature and epigraphic records may be verified and a true chronology of Indian history may be constructed. The present author has made an humble attempt to construct the 7000 years old calendar and has successfully verified the astronomical dateline quoted in epigraphic records, Purunas and other Sanskrit texts to fix the epochs of various events of Indian history and personalities. Hope the present work will be helpful to learned and laity alike for understanding the actual and factual dateline of Indian history.

The Clash Of Chronologies written by Thomas R. Trautmann and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2009 with India categories.

The Clash of Chronologies shows the crucial value of the ancient period of Indian history for understanding India's deep history. In this valuable volume, Thomas Trautmann makes this connection with great acuity through a series of studies, on topics ranging from the contrasting theories of time and history in India and Europe, persistent codes of kinship and marriage between north and south India, the conjuncture of ancient Indian and European traditions of language analysis in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, legacies of European scholars of India's deep history such as Sir William Jones and A.L.Basham, and structures of the ancient Indian state. At a time when ancient history is being dismissed by some as a projection of colonial rule or hyper-magnified by others as the charter of the modern state, this book finds a middle way that restores the true weight and value of ancient history, namely as an essential component of the long view, a way of finding our place and a tool for making a future. This is a critical volume for students and scholars of ancient as well as modern Indian History, Anthropology and Linguistics.
