... quoted above (Sayce) considered that the dagger might have belonged to a prince in Cilicia whose name was Tarkondemos; he further brought out that a prince of the same name lived in Cilicia in the days of Augustus Caesar. The question, Was there a nation of "Hittites" in the days of Augustus? was avoided. No Roman author, historian or geographer, said anything of Hittites, yet Asia Minor was under Roman domination. In the first pre-Christian century the Chaldeans and the Persian magi were regarded as possessors of a secret and ancient knowledge. A charm in Chaldean letters on the handle of a dagger may have been designed to protect its owner against his enemies ...

... own such PCs are encouraged to offer their services as typists and thereby speed up the production process. The Ancient History Study Group - 1 The Ancient History Study Group met at 11 Dulwich Court, Underhill Road, London SE22, on Saturday 16th November 1990. Eight members were present. Anthony Chavasse introduced a discussion of Assyrian, Israelite and Roman chronology during the 8th and 7th centuries BC. He first argued that Assyrian dates for this period depended on the assignment of year 10 of Assur-dan III in the limmu lists on to 763 BC, on the basis of an eclipse of the Sun. He argued that there may have been an eclipse in that year but it would only ...

... of a battlefield. Unless their horsemanship was superb this stratagem should have proved instantly disastrous! In any case, the conclusion drawn by Emmet as to the relative chronological placement of Seti I (and his contemporaries) and Assurnasirpal II (and his contemporaries) is also to be challenged. Take for example a later period, that of the Romans. The Romans were well-known land-lubbers, mostly keeping to the Mediterranean and never attaining the seafaring skills of the Carthaginians or Phoenicians. One could say that in 200 BC the Romans were still struggling with the concept of seamanship' yet it is an indisputable fact that they completely destroyed Carthage and its people a long time earlier. But if ...

... is 13x400+ 6 5206 years. This number is indicated on the right in the lower picture by nineteen rounds, thirteen of which are surmounted by a feather. We have already observed, speaking of the calendar, that the hieroglyphic of the square of twenty is a feather; and that, like the nails of the Etruscans and the Romans, more rounds indicated among the Mexicans the number of the years. This first age, which corresponds to the age of justice (Sakia Youga) of the Hindoos, was called Tlaltonatiuh, age of the Earth; it is also that of the giants (Qzocuilliexeque, or Tuimametin), for the historical traditions of every nation began ...

In the last case it is suggested that the people attributed the change of climate to the wrath of the gods and therefore concentrated on building more temples instead of irrigation schemes. - or pollution?The Times 1.1 .94 Two recent studies suggest that the Romans suffered greatly from lead poisoning - also one of the earliest specimens of Homo sapiens in Africa.

... fort went out of use after 50 years towards the end of Dynasty 19, at a time of massive movements of Libyans into the eastern delta and incursions of the sea peoples'. Perhaps we can also look forward to further information about the 26th dynasty - more than 50 mummies of this period have been excavated at Saqqara. Greeks and Romans (BBC History, July 2004; The Daily Star, 7.4 .04; Current Archaeology, June 2004) A new theory on the origin of the Olympic games suggests that they were part of a religious festival dedicated to Zeus and that they were developed as a divinely sanctioned means of selecting people for elite military units. ...

... the most recent experienced by the Earth, because I have identified a later series of damaging events that began in 365 AD and continued through the 5th and into the 6th century AD. Our knowledge of this period is sketchy and largely comes from Church records. However, Edward Gibbon, in Chapter 26 of his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire reported that the greatest part of the Roman Empire was shaken by an earthquake on the 21st July 365 AD and that, at the time, some Romans thought the world was sinking. He went on to say that, following the earthquake, people were persecuted for supposedly being able to control the eternal order of the planets and ...

... of the first gulf from the Northern Sea as the Western Sea it can only apply to the Hebridean Sea, which was commonly called the Western Sea, and the Hebrides as the Western Isles, especially by the Norwegians. The Hebridean Sea leads to the strait, the North Channel, which divided Scotland from Ireland, or, as the Roman poet allows us to infer, between the Hesperides, or Hebrides, and Libya-or Ireland. Herodotus records one piece of useful information about the Ethiopians. He mentions their capital, Met'u (or Meroe), placed on an island, and says of it: "There is an oracle of Zeus in the city which directs the warlike ...

... to have been borrowed from the Phoenician in the 8th century BC at the earliest. A similar script from Cyprus is believed to have been used from 600 BC to 200 BC, a gap of around 500 years. Lasken points out that the tablets appear to be highly bureaucratic documents concerned with administrative distribution, a distinctive format reminiscent of the Roman empire and most unlike Greek society where organization was not imposed from above. Further pointers to Roman times are words which are strange to Greek but bear a remarkable resemblance to curator'and procurator' and the word used for a group with military functions reads like the Roman equites' - of the Equestrian order. As the Romans imposed their provincial ...
