    A similar record exists for a supposed solar eclipse in 1217 B.C., but modern calculations do not show a solar eclipse being visible in China in that particular year. Scientists are not fully in agreement whether or not solar eclipses on May 7, 2165 B.C., in the autumn of 2158 B.C., October 21, 2137 B.C. and/or October 13, 2128 B.C. were ...
