... written in Egyptian, is Iu-su or Iu-sif - i.e . Jesus or Joseph. His Natural Genesis (1883), Ancient Egypt (1907, reprinted in USA, 1970) and Collected Lectures are also recommended. Anacalypsis by Godfrey Higgins (2 vols., London, 1836).

222. How Much Did They Know? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... challenge the author to further debate; some have been noted above. But what a vast subject is here awaiting further investigation - Neugebauer estimates that there are tens of thousands of cuneiform tablets, never transcribed, let alone translated, simply crumbling away in museum vaults for want of proper preservation. And how few are the people who combine the linguistic ability to tackle the ancient texts with the scientific knowledge to recognise and interpret the scientific jargon of four or five millennia ago. An interdisciplinary study with a vengeance ! \cdrom\pubs\journals\review\v0204\118much.htm ...
223. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... the thankless efforts of such analyses. We are also led on an unstructured excursion of other strange ideas concerning ancient astronauts, while gratuitously kicking Erich von Däniken in the shins in passing, with an extrinsic discussion of arcane pyramidology on Egyptian and Mesoamerican edifices. Included is a chapter that takes a precarious side trip into mythological lore that intrigues our linguistic inclinations, but tends to confound and complicate our mindset with metonymic relationships in an already elaborate argument. In 1992 another Mars Observer, with vastly improved optics to map the Martian surface as it had never been done before, was launched. Hoagland had not made many friends within the halls of NASA, and there were even evidences of ...
224. The Coming Cosmic Debate in the Sciences and Humanities: Revolutionary Vs. Evolutionary Primevology [Articles]
... , recognizably modern in form, increase. Additional corroboration comes from the developing science of myth-analysis, contributed to by classicists, anthropologists, philologists, and archaeologists. In addition, archaeology has disclosed periods of total and simultaneous devastation of existing civilizations in areas stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to China, and from Canada to Peru. Wherever symbolic and linguistic evidence is available, and usually also where only oral traditions are preserved, the catastrophes suffered on Earth and by humanity were attributed by humans to changes in the celestial system and particularly to the planets Ouranos (now transmutated beyond ready identification) , Saturn, Jupiter , Apollo (also trans-mutated) , Mercury, Venus, and Mars. ...
225. Pygmalion, Prince of Tyre, and the el-Amarna Correspondence [Journals] [Kronos]
... .(14) Nor is the name Pygmalion any more outlandish than the Egyptian Pharaoh known as Psammetichus, a name which means "negus-vendor" and is akin to "lemonade vendor".(15) Thus, Abimilki could have become Pygmalion. Furthermore, there is an outside possibility that the sardonic Greeks may have actually followed a standard linguistic practice if, in fact, they did convert Abimilki into Pygmalion. The variation of consonants and shifting of vowels was one of the most prominent features of all languages employed in the general area known to the Greeks as Phoenicia (i .e ., the Canaan of the Bible). As an example, take the name of ...
... Gardiner's work, only John Van Seters, other than Velikovsky, had subjected the Papyrus to close scrutiny.12 13 Greenberg quotes Van Seters as saying that "taking all the pieces of evidence together, there is one date which seems to fit all the requirements, and that is the late Thirteenth Dynasty. Not only has the orthography and linguistic evidence always pointed toward this later date, but our present knowledge of the social and political history of the period confirms this opinion. The last word has certainly not been said on the subject, and it is hoped that more learned authorities will enter into a re-examination of this important literary work. If this later dating should stand, ...
227. Fomenko and English History [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Byzantium. A century or two later, when these documents were unearthed, they were taken to be recording events in the area in which they were found, not where they had actually taken place, and so a totally false history, duplicating that of Byzantium, was created. This claimed duplication of kings is based mainly on mathematical and linguistic evidence. The length of the reign of each king in one location corresponds roughly (although not exactly) to his supposed counterpart in the other location and certain words have been misinterpreted in deriving the traditional view of English history. In the year of grace' has generally been supposed to imply an AD date but what was actually meant ...
228. Thoth Vol III, No. 16: Dec 1, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... " in the sky- a "congregation" of gods, or divine "assembly". As such they are attributes or aspects of the unified creator-king, remembered as his own radiant "limbs". Apart from the principle of conjunction or "standing together", the concepts are entirely meaningless. Since there are so many lines of potential linguistic inquiry we might pursue, I'll limit my initial comments to the five core ideas listed below, which I believe are still evident in our language today: Before we take up some of the related words, it will be helpful to be sure that the archaic concepts we claim to be still reflected in modern language are clear: 1 ...
229. Three Views of Heinsohn's Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Ashurbanipal's late or classical version of Gilgamesh from 650 BC looks much less developed than the version some 1200 years older: "On the face of it, one would assume that the variants found in the late [650 BC - G.H ] version are secondary and late. But in many cases, this seems impossible to demonstrate on linguistic grounds. .. . If readings in the late version that differ from those in the Old Babylonian texts [2000 BC onwards - G.H .] available to us are not demonstrably late, they could, theoretically, go back to unknown originals in the Old Babylonian period and could even be more original than readings attested in ...
230. Stiebing, BAR, and the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Kronos]
... texts. He also provides extensive documentation for his claims which must seem very impressive to a layman. Why, then, haven't ancient historians, Biblical scholars, and archaeologists accepted his arguments? The first reason is that Velikovsky's use of ancient textual material and his documentation are frustrating (sometimes even infuriating!) rather than convincing to the professional linguist or ancient historian. In using Biblical texts he ignores the results of modern Biblical criticism. He often makes unwarranted identifications between individuals and places in Egyptian texts and similar names found in the Bible. In making such identifications he often ignores established philological principles worked out by specialists in the languages involved. He uncritically uses legends and Medieval midrashic ...
