... . The Spanish Merino sheep were (and are) tough and hardy, capable of living off pretty poor pasture but even so producing wool that was much sought after. They are the stock from which the present Merinos were bred. It is kown that they are a very ancient breed. I lay no claims to being any kind of linguist or philologist but it seems to me interesting that the Merino sheep of today are derived from a Spanish native sheep and that there was a Tartessos both on the Spanish coast and on the Syrian coast in Antiquity, the ssos ending being both Minoan and Antolian. Minoan Crete certainly exported quantities of wool and woollen cloth. Minoan - or ...
332. The Mesoamerican Record [Journals] [Pensee]
... race that the narrator reserves mention of any real agents of destruction, and when they come they all descend from the sky at once: a flood (673), a rain of glue (693), aroused jaguars (701), and a rain of darkness (713-darkness and wind in Nahuatl mythology being always put together in a linguistic couplet, whether attributed to Quetzalcoatl, Tlaloc or Tezcatlipoca). Here all the elements of the Nahuatl annals seem to be thrown together. Uniformitarian Mesoamericanists have never been bothered by these discrepancies. The catastrophist, on the other hand, is faced with the reasonable task of defining the mechanisms of distortion with reference to the original events posited ...

334. Jeremy Goldberg - Still Looking for David [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . What is more significant in this context about the appearance of Zion' in the bible is that it does not appear with a political meaning until the 8th century. Another problem for such a geographic solution to the New Chronology's David problem (and a major problem by itself in any case) is that whereas Tianna = Zion is just linguistically questionable speculation, Hebron, David's capital for seven years, supposedly wholly within the Amarna period, does not appear to be named in the Amarna correspondence' (as blandly noted in JACF: 6, p. 63 n. 15). Even more seriously, Hebron and indeed the entire Hebron region appear to have hardly been occupied ...

Glottochronologists take note: Everywhere one looks in early historical Native North America, one encounters instances of tribes living in close social relationships and alliances with others from mutually unintelligible language groups, an alliance often directed against close linguistic neighbours. There is nothing to indicate that such was not also the case in prehistoric times. 4. From the reviewer's collected notes. 5. Improbable as it seems, this would provide the most appropriate time frame for the drowning of Graham Hancock's underwater cities, should they prove to be anything other than natural geological formations. 6 ...

Ancient speech leaves its mark New Scientist 23.4 .94, p. 10 A historical linguist, tracing languages back to a possible ancestral language used before man started to migrate out of Africa, has decided the evidence indicates that continued expansions out of Africa pushed frontier' languages, which had developed in south-east Asia, before them in three waves. The first reached Australia and South America, the second New Guinea and Central America ...

... had been reached about virtually nothing, but amid the welter of proposed theories and vantage-points two developments stood out. The first of these two crucial movements emphasised the significance of the cosmic axis, as I have just shown. The second important movement was the mythological version of catastrophism. A growing group of researchers of diverse plumage – ethnologists, linguists, historians of literature and religion, astronomers, you name it – discovered with a shock that the myths are actually talking about things that are no longer happening. Myths typically describe a world different than ours, as the stuff of mythology is the unusual rather than the mundane. What is the point of looking for the origin of ...
