Manchester's documentation is not good. He lists a big bibliography at the
back of the book but does not document which book a given argument came
from. This is why I have had trouble confirming some of what Manchestor
wrote. I can't read everything listed in that darn bibliography to find his
source. That is why ever since Ted's and my discussion, I keep looking for
other books that might cover the topic.

I invite any of you to come to Washington and take a look at some of the
original sources at the Naval Observatory and the Library of Congress.
There are a lot of ancient astronomy texts here for scholars who want to do
accurate historical research.
