 mer solstice. 



The next group conjoins the familiar Phtha ( 'L , PL 1. 1. viii. No. 

 12) with Saturn (ib. 1. ix. No. 7) ; therefore Mars must have been 

 in a department of Saturn. In short, on that solstitial day in which 

 the moon stood in opposition with the sun, Mars appeared in his 

 house (K), his Decuria 20°-30°, his Horion ■20°-28°, and in the 

 Dodecatemorion of h 25°-30°. The following goddess, referring 

 to Mercury, probably points to the Moera of ^ (8, 25°). Since, 

 then, the Egyptians omitted to regard the segments of the Zodiac 

 belonging to the planet which occupied them, as we have so often 

 seen, they had no occasion to mention that Mars stood in the 

 Sign, Decuria, or Horion of his own, but in the Dodecatemorion 

 of h and in the Moera of ^ . 



It is for the same reason that Saturn and Jupiter are not men- 

 tioned at all on our astronomical monuments ; they must have 

 been in their own houses, not modifying the imaginary influences 

 of the respective planets. 



The following is, then, the nativity of Caesarion as apeared on 

 the summer solstitial day June 25th, in -45, compared with our 

 superficial computations :

This new astronomical monument of the Egyptians is no trifle. 

 It confirms, on the contrary, the great discovery of the present 

 century, that the whole Historical Canon of Ptolemy is wrong ; 

 and that Petavius, following the latter, with all his satellites, who 

 from 1627 down to this day, bona Jide copied Petavius, referred 

 all events of Roman, Greek and Persian histories, etc., to wrong 

 years. 



According to Ptolemy and Petavius, C. J. Ccesar crossed the 

 frozen Rubicon and marched against Rome in the year _5o 

 B.C. During the same month, however, a total eclipse of the sun 

 and a total eclipse of the moon happened, as the ancients report, 

 which was not the case in _5o, but —47 only. Consequently
