On their bed Zurah left a note, "Find me, fight for me. However, the effect of her leaving crushes Prince Darus. Zurah's reaction is to flee which she does in her small fast-flyer.She flies to Torquas knowing their friend, Jeddak Hortan Gur, will grant her refuge. It is exacerbated by the arrival of a detachment of guards bearing a warrant for Zurah's arrest for mass murder of children signed by the Jeddak (King), Tardos Mors, himself. They saw beautiful little girls being slaughtered. In to a terrible family meeting the family rejects her story. Zurah pleads that she killed no girls but rather green bug monsters, brandishing swords. Darus's family suspect's that Zurah's Than family bloodline has expressed itself in aberrant behavior and that she has killed twenty-three little girls right before their eyes. The strength of their love is tested in the most painful, and dangerous ways possible. Prince Darus laments that he has broken the heart of his wife, Princess Zurah of Helium.

Zodes are also individually numbered, the first of which begins at the dawn of the winter solstice.īarsoom is mentioned in many different aspects of science-fiction popular culture, and has even influenced modern science-fiction. A xat is 2 minutes, 57 seconds long, and a tal is. Burroughs never mentioned if the teean's have specific names like on Earth, or where the leap day would go.Ī Padan lasts 10 zodes, each zode is 50 xats, and each xat is 200 tal.Ī zode is 2 hours, 27 minutes and 42 seconds long in Earth time. So an ord (year) is ten teean's long, and each teean is 67 days. Barsoomians further break down their 'year' thusly:Ī Barsoomian Month is called a Teean, and is 67 days long. Even Barsoomians have to have a leap year every four years. Now, with a Barsoomian day being 1.025 Earth days long, and a Barsoomian year being 1.88 Earth years long, this translates out to:Ī Barsoomian Year is 670.25 Barsoomian days long.
A Barsoomian year is 687 Earth days long, roughly 1.88 Earth years. To best understand time measurement on Barsoom, when being explained to an Earthman (or woman), it is best to put it in terms understandable to Earth time first.Ī Barsoomian day is 24 hours, 36 minutes long to an Earthman, roughly 1.025 Earth days. What happens is that any mass approaching the satellites will change in size and mass as to be proportioned the same as they are on Barsoom to the satellite they are now on. It was first suggested by an obscure scientist thousands of years ago, and later it was proven.
There exists a peculiar relationship between Barsoom and its satellites, that does not exist between any other planet and its satellites in the solar system.
