Die Offenbarung Johannis – Eine astronomisch-historische Untersuchung ((英語:''The Revelation to John - An astronomic historical Investigation'')) is the title of the German edition of the 1905 book by the Russian astronomer Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov. In the month of March in 1907 the Russian astronomer Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov published the book ''Revelation within Thunderstorm and Tempest. History of the Apocalypses Origin''. (After an intervention of the Orthodox clergy, the book was placed on the index of prohibited books in the following year.) In his book Morozov makes the case that the Book of Revelation is describing the astronomical constellation over the island of Patmos on Sunday, September 30, 395 (Julian date). Morozov presumes that the highly educated John was able to calculate the Saros cycle and, therefore, did observe the sky on this day in attendance of a solar eclipse. (This eclipse did occur indeed - over South America, however〔Solar eclipse catalogue 300-400: ''http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEcat/SE0301-0400.html''〕). ==Morozov's claims== 1. The weekday of the event is named explicitly: : *Rev. 1,10: I was in the Spirit on Sunday... 2. The description of the skies starts quite systematically at the pole with a constellation named ''Throne'' (today: Ursa Minor): : *Rev. 4,2: And a throne was set in heaven... 3. The text continues mentioning the ''Milky Way'' and the signs of the zodiac denoting the four seasons: ''Lion'', ''Taurus'', ''Sagittarius'' and ''Eagle'' (today: Aquarius): : *Rev. 4,6-7: And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 4. The four horses were interpreted by Morozov as traditional 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Apocalypse of John – dated astronomically」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
