... down to the Ptolemaic era, along with a reclassification of the archaeological ages used outside Egypt. Step 2 will be to agree, if this is deemed possible, an identification for the Pharaoh, and of the Famine, at the time of Joseph. This second step is based on acceptance of the very strong evidence, both historical and linguistic, for an early Hebrew sojourn in Egypt. It will lead to a revised length for the Second Intermediate Period (SIP) and further down-dating of the earlier historical epochs in both Egypt and throughout Mesopotamia. Apologies are offered here in advance to those not mentioned in this section, as well as to those who are, that space ...
322. Earth Parturition and Moon Birth [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Few, it any, aspects of life were freed to develop without religious connections to what was experienced with the coming of the Moon and with lunar behavior. The ecumenical Uranian culture remained the substraturm of Lunarian culture. However, many Lunarian cultures developed in isolation. Languages revived apart. Probably here now arose the great differences among the major linguistic groups. So also institutions, arts, and crafts. Diffusion was at a minimum. Lunar religion everywhere was based upon Uranian religion. A sun calendar may not have developed anywhere, because the sun was still diffused as "Hyperion", not "Helios" and was relatively remote as a threat. Its regular (or at ...
323. The Catastrophic Finale of the Middle Bronze Age [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , there occurred a "dark age," "a population nadir." He finds hundreds of unknown sites to plot. Regions of culture disappear, reappear, switch places. In their Central Asian work, apart from the Black Sea simultaneities already mentioned, Soviet researchers have noted widespread destruction. In a popular but authoritative book, the linguist Alexander Kondratov writes, "In the middle of the second millennium B.C . the ancient cities in Southern Turkomenia declined and were abandoned by the inhabitants. The South Turkomenian civilization perished at about the same time as the proto-Indian, and the reasons are still unknown." The case of the proto-Indians of Mohenjaro, Harrappa, and ...
324. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 9,000 years ago from the Middle East is confirmed as more a cultural change than a takeover - only 20% of modern Europeans are descended from this group. Other studies indicate little, if any, migration from North Africa across the Strait of Gibraltar during the Stone Age. The strait is not dangerous to cross but cultural and linguistic differences could have kept the two populations separate as earlier migration had brought Indo-Europeans to Europe and Afro-Asiatic to North Africa.

325. Pot Pourri [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to be the wall built by Severus [37]. Serious historians will no doubt have closed the book by this stage, even before the authors' assertions that the original inhabitants of the land we today call England were Angles/Saxons, not the Britons who lived in the lands we today call Wales' but the authors do provide linguistic material from later times, some extending to the modern day, to back up their assertions. They find a reference to Welsh Picts' (but no Pictish inscriptions in Wales). There are of course obvious weaknesses to this line of argument. For example, the Romans invaded Kent, not Gwent and did not find different peoples ...
326. The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky [Articles]
... it casts on Velikovsky's use of source material. Based on twenty-one of his own clinical cases Velikovsky developed a rather complex technique for analyzing multi-language dreamwork. 0ne of his patients, a Russian Jew like himself, dreamt that mice were rummaging through his body; Velikovsky's interpretation, that the analysand had pangs of conscience, was based entirely on a linguistic method. The Hebrew phrase mussar klajoth (conscience in the bowels or kidneys) is more concrete than its Russian cognate ugrisenia sovesti (the gnawing of conscience). In order to operationalize the idea symbolically, the dreamer's unconscious represented the "gnawers" as rodents (derived from the Latin root rodo, "I gnaw"): ...
327. The Twin Tilts of the Spin Axes of Mars and Earth [Articles]
... many dozen tongues, in this sense, can be dubbed the "Mars- Mars" group of languages. The word for Mars in Sanskrit is approximately "Arya". Thus it is that Mars in its Third Orbit created much pain and countless casualties for the human race. The pain and scars of Mars are gone, but the linguistic vestiges of that pain and scars remain in our language. Such is our eleventh piece of the quilt, as psychological scar rather than a physical scar. GENERAL GYROSCOPIC THEORY Gyroscopes have been studied in Germany since the early l800's pioneered by Bohnenberger, in England pioneered by Lang in the l830's and in France pioneered in the l850's by Foucault ...
328. Catastrophe, Collective Trauma, and the Origin of Civilization [Articles]
... reorganized by environmental changes." With the Ice Ages came the development of language, and with language came the invention of an analog inner world of words, paralleling the behavioral world "even as the world of mathematics parallels the world of quantities and things." Jaynes argued that, in its early stages, the use of this new linguistic ability was split between the brain's hemispheres: the right hemisphere spoke to the left, and its voice was interpreted as being that of a god. This bicamerality may have served to obviate the stress of decision-making during times of environmental change. But later, during the early historical period, as civilizations were developing, the bicameral organization of ...
... Of more significance was his appearance on March 15 at Brown University. Under the sponsorship of the Brown Daily Herald, he spoke on "Worlds in Collision Revisited: Changing Views of the Universe and of Man's Past," a variation of his standard lecture on recent vindications of his hypotheses. Afterwards he appeared in a panel discussion moderated by linguistics professor Henry Kucera, along with Leon N. Cooper (physics), Bruno J. Giletti (geology), Charles Smiley (astronomy), and Abraham J. Sachs (mathematics). It had been Velikovsky's hope to confront his old foe Neugebauer, but Neugebauer had declined the invitation "on the grounds that even debating with ...
330. The el-Amarna Letters and the New Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the process of occupying Philistia when the Hebrews began to enter the Promised Land. There may indeed have been an initial occupation of Philistia after the arrival by sea from Crete (probably via Cyprus) and then a secondary influx as a direct result of the expulsion of the Indo-European Hyksos elements from Egypt at the beginning of the 18th Dynasty. Linguistic Evidence As we have already stated, the language of the Amarna Letters is Akkadian, but one letter, EA 252, proved to be very difficult to translate. In 1940 Gadd wrote that No. 252 is a very obscure letter, and K[nudtzon] 's uncertainty is plainly shown by the gaps and italics of his ...
