- For the sake of clarity, the exact astronomical calculations for
the three cases discussed are shown here (one Sun-year / 365.26 days):
- Cosmic Jubilee Year:
Mercury-orbit, 87.97 days x 354 3/8 x 49 = 4,182 years
- Jupiter Year:
Jupiter-orbit, (11.86 years = 4,332.59 days)
4,332.59 days x 354 3/8 = 4,203 years
- Uranus:
Uranus-orbit, (84.01 years = 30,688.39 days)
30,688.39 days x 49 = 4,117 years
x 50 = 4,201 years

- Botocudian: The Botocudos are an Indian tribe of eastern Brazil.
According to Chamber's Encyclopaedia of 1901 (Vol. 11, pp.,
356-7), they are the most barbarous of the Indian tribes of
Brazil. The tenor of the description that follows suggests how
botocudian could have become synonymous with extreme
barbarism. The article concludes with the comment, Ungovernably
passionate, they often commit outrageous cruelties; but through
systematically cruel treatment they have been almost annihilated, and
now number not more than 4,000.

But the members themselves, when Kronos

he threw from the mainland
into the great wash of the sea water
and they drifted a great while
on the open sea, and there spread
a circle of white foam
from the immortal flesh, and in it
grew a girl, whose course first took her
to holy Kythera
and from there she afterward made her way
to sea-washed Cyprus
and stepped ashore, a modest lovely goddess,
and about her
light and slender feet the grass grew,
and the gods call her
Aphrodite, and men do too,
and the Aphro-foam-born
goddess, and garlanded Kythereia,
because from the seafoam
she grew, and Kythereia, because she came forth
from wave-washed Cyprus,
and Philommedea, because she appeared
from medea, members ...
