I have proposed a schedule of leap seconds prior to 1972 based on the Earth's rotation rate, which was deduced from ancient observations of the Sun and Moon. The complete paper is available on my web site, at
https://www.systemeyescomputerstore.com/proleptic_UTC.pdf. I would be grateful for any criticism, particularly any suggestions for improving the paper. It is my goal to publish this paper on arXiv.org, perhaps in the astro-ph section. Here is the abstract: Using ancient observations of the Sun and Moon, construct a time scale using the modern definition of Coordinated Universal Time to cover the past 3,000 years. Use the 20th century portion of that time scale to construct a table of leap seconds from 1900 through 1971 for NTP.
