Coligny Moon Calendar by coldrum on Tuesday, 20 May 2008

Coligny Moon Calendar

MOON MONTHS

THE COLIGNY CALENDAR

Two thousand or so years ago, a bronze sheet about 1½ metres by 1 metre and 5 millimetres thickness was broken into small pieces, placed in an earthenware jar and buried at a site near Coligny, Ain Province, France. It was unearthed in AD 1897.
The bronze pieces have been re-assembled in the manner of a jigsaw puzzle, revealing a twelve-month lunar calendar, yearly cycles of days, weeks and months, all repeated five times. The Coligny Plaque as it is called, is inscribed with words in capital letter Latin characters, names not Roman but purely Celtic core words with added terminations. Considered a most important ancient artefact, it portrays a comprehensive Moon calendar, twelve months a year, six weeks of five days a thirty-day month. Every other month lost one day of the fourth week to maintain a fifty-nine day bi-monthly lunar cycle.
The twelve month names are Samonios, Dumannios, Rivros, Anagantios, Ogronios, Cvtios, Giamonios, Simivisonnios, Eqvos, Elembivios, Edrinios and Cantlos. They are translated as SUMMER the first month, SECOND month, THIRD month, HOARD month, OGRE month, SHELTER month, WINTER month, BUDSWELL month, LAMBING month, SPRING month, BETWEEN month and lastly FULL CIRCLE month. The Plaque is a record of the native Celtic Gallic language at that time, half the month names are early Welsh Brythoneg and half early Irish Gaelic, demonstrating Celtic Gallic links with the Brythonic and Gaelic languages. Concordance between Moon calendar and Sun calendar seasons and events facilitated the translation of the twelve Gallic Moon calendar month names.
Experts have suggested the Coligny Plaque was manufactured between 200 BC and AD 50. Having regard to the known and deduced features, I consider its actual date of manufacture could be considerably earlier, a skilfully made bronze article could properly belong to the Bronze Age before 200 BC.
The Coligny Plaque has identical features to the Irish Loughcrew and Knowth petroglyphs of the 3500 BC, also Stonehenge about 2300 BC, a fully comprehensive Moon calendar that endured for three and a half millennia until Julius Caesar decreed the Julian calendar beginning in 45 BC.

The Author has made field trips to Ireland, Wales, England, Scotland, the Netherlands, Denmark, France, India and China. Stimulated by his research into archaeological matters, he endeavoured to re-create in his mind how early mankind tackled problems and the answers he obtained. The ancient myths and folklore of the northwest European peoples have been found complementary to prehistoric evidences.
