Sadly, your naïveté is stunning. I have the time but no longer have the inclination to educate those that appear to be willfully ignorant of the co-opting of selected areas of the scientific establishment by political hacks. Sorry, but you're on your own.

Remember the calendar revisions described by Velikovsky? Remember the Emperor whose name was pronounced Yahoo? ...

According to some Chinese classic documents such as Yao Dian (Document of Yao) in Shang Shu (Book of Ancient Time), and Wudibenji (Records for the Five Kings) in the Shiji (Historic Records), the King Yao assigned astronomic officers to observe celestial phenomena such as the sunrise, sunset, and the rising of the evening stars. This was done in order to make a solar and lunar calendar with 366 days for a year, also providing for the leap month.

Some recent archaeological work at Taosi, an ancient site in Shanxi, dating to 2300 BC-1900 BC, may have provided some evidence for this. A sort of an ancient observatory -- the oldest in East Asia[11] -- was found at Taosi that seems to coincide with the ancient records.[12]

Some Chinese archaeologists believe that Taosi was the site of a state Youtang (有唐) conquered by Emperor Yao and made to be his capital.[13] The structure consists of an outer semi-ring-shaped path, and a semi-round rammed-earth platform with a diameter of about 60 m; it was discovered in 2003-2004.

Great Flood (China) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Great Flood of China (Chinese: 大洪水; pinyin: Dà Hóngshuǐ, or just traditional Chinese: 洪水), also known as the Gun-Yu myth[1]) was a major flood event that continued for at least two generations, which resulted in great population displacements among other disasters, such as storms and famine: according to mythological and historical sources, it is traditionally dated to the third millennium BCE, during the reign of Emperor Yao. Treated either historically or mythologically, the story of the Great Flood and the heroic attempts of the various human characters to control it and to abate the disaster is a narrative fundamental to Chinese culture. Among other things, the Great Flood of China is key to understanding the history of the founding of both the Xia dynasty and the Zhou dynasty, it is also one of the main flood motifs in Chinese mythology, and it is a major source of allusion in Classical Chinese poetry.

There's an ancient illustration that shows what Velikovsky described; the waters of the oceans were lifted over the tops of mountains, which is what might be expected when Earth was disturbed in its rotation.
