Has solstice always been on the 21st of Dec/ Jun? Or has human fucking around with calendars changed this?Winter (Summer for you bottom feeders) falls somewhere between the 20th and the 23rd. It hasn't necessarily always been or will be in that date range though as solstice are a result of axial tilt and wobble which are subject to some change.
Yeah I know pappy that was what the article said ... apparently
Quote:The last December 23 solstice occurred in 1903 and will not occur again until the year 2303. A December 20 solstice has occurred very rarely, with the next one occurring in the year 2080
kewl
So does this mean; that Mithras et al = solar deities where born 3 days after the solstice on Dec 25, implies that it is more regular for solstice to be on the 22nd?
