The Sacred Scrolls

3955 is the year in which the events from the 1970 film Beneath the Planet of the Apes take place. However, the date conflicts with the pre-established chronology of events first introduced in the 1968 film, Planet of the Apes.

In Planet of the Apes, ANSA astronaut George Taylor and his crew aboard the Icarus crash-land back on the planet Earth in the year 3978. This date is found in two different references. The year 3978 is visibly shown on the ship's date-meter moments after crashing into the lake, and it is also found as part of the interactive menu screen on the Planet of the Apes DVD from the Evolution collection.

In Beneath the Planet of the Apes however, another astronaut named John Brent lands on Earth some months after the events chronicled in the first film. When speaking with his dying comrade, he indicates that the year is 3955 – more than twenty years prior to the events from Planet of the Apes.

This year is again referenced in the second sequel, Escape from the Planet of the Apes. While under the influence of Grape Juice Plus, Dr. Zira confesses that the date meter on the ship she was one read, "...thirty-nine fifty... something." It is important to note, that Zira had returned to Earth's past aboard the Icarus, and not Brent's ship, even though the Icarus' terminal never indicated a year of 3955 on-screen.

Reconciling the two conflicting dates is virtually impossible (though in the 2017 essay anthology Bright Eyes, Ape City: Examining the Planet of the Apes Mythos, Joe Dilworth suggests that Brent’s date-meter, though faulty, could have been salvaged by Milo to replace that from Taylor’s water-logged ship[1]). For the sake of consistency, The Sacred Scrolls is treating the year 3978 as the canonical year of events for both Planet of the Apes and Beneath the Planet of the Apes. All other dates that correspond to either film, including birth-dates, date of death, etc. will be relative to the year 3978.

DEN 1048−3956

DEN 1048−3956 is a brown dwarf about 13.1 light years from Earth in the southern constellation of Antlia, among the closest interstellar objects to Earth. This substellar object is very dim with an apparent magnitude of about 17, and will require a telescope with a camera to be seen. It was discovered in 2000 by Xavier Delfosse (Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, now Observatoire de Grenoble) and Thierry Forveille (Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope Corporation), with the assistance of nine other astronomers.

In 2005 a powerful flare from this object was detected by radio astronomy.

3962 Valyaev

3962 Valyaev (prov. designation: 1967 CC) is a dark Themistian asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt. The presumed C-type asteroid has a rotation period of 16.4 hours and measures approximately 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 8 February 1967, by Russian astronomer Tamara Smirnova at Nauchnyj on the Crimean peninsula, and later named after Russian astronomer Valerij Valyaev.

The C-type asteroid is a member of the Themis family, a dynamical family of outer-belt asteroids with nearly coplanar ecliptical orbits. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.8–3.6 AU once every 5 years and 9 months (2,100 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.11 and an inclination of 2° with respect to the ecliptic. A first precovery was obtained at Palomar Observatory in 1956, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 11 years prior to its discovery.

The Type 3967 intrinsically safe solenoid valve is designed to work in all general industrial applications. The Type 3967 solenoid valves ensure a high level of operational reliability and fast response times for controlling pneumatic actuators in hazardous areas.

Intrinsically safe, low-power binary signals issued by automation or fieldbus systems can be used for controlling purposes. Different nominal signals, switching functions and attachment types allow the solenoid valve to be tailored to the specific task.
