... Menouthis and Herakleion in the Nile Delta and one in 365 AD damaged Alexandria and Crete. It was felt up to 1,500 kilometres away, around the Mediterranean and appears to have occurred as the eighth of eleven quakes occurring over a period of twelve years. Member Peter Fairlie-Clarke notes that Gibbon, in The Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire (Vol. I, Chapter X) , wrote of the 260's AD as a period which suffered inundations, earthquakes, uncommon meteors, preternatural darkness and a crowd of prodigies', with plague and famine raging in every Roman province. Of the 365 AD quake, Gibbon wrote (Chapter XXVI) that the whole of the ...
352. The SIS Tenth Anniversary Tour of Egypt - Report [Journals] [SIS Review]
... been built by an earlier 3rd-Dynasty pharaoh soon after the last of the step pyramids were built, the Meydum Pyramid is a bit of a mystery. Ownership of the tomb is in doubt and the reason for its present state is not fully known. Did it really collapse under the stress brought about by a design fault? Or did the Romans use it as a limestone quarry for their own building activities? Ready-cut limestone was of great value in the later periods of Egypt's history, not only as a source of building material but also for both cement and agricultural fertiliser known as sebbakh (" fertile earth"). The monolith of Meydum Arriving once more in the early morning ...

... and I Pet. 1:3 , 23), and therefore needs to be carefully interpreted in the wider context of the N.T . as a whole. Primarily, the N.T . idea is of a change in status before God, brought about through Christ's death and resurrection (cf. John 1:12-13; Romans 6:4 ; II Corinthians 5:17-19). But this change is linked with freedom from bondage to negative and destructive tendencies (sin) and their consequences (John 8:31-36; Romans 6:5-14; 8:1-2). It is as a deliverance from bondage that rebirth parallels the "birth event" of ...

355. Fire and Ash [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , we would still have to ask about lightning and hot spots; neither is a simple autodynamic mechanism, as we have seen already in the case of lightning and will see in regards to hot spots. The legendary and early historical record is replete with assertions that global burning has occurred. Writing apparently about historical experiences, Seneca, the Roman stoic philosopher, gives a common ancient view of the holocaust: And when the time is come when the world destroys itself to be renewed, then (Earth, seas and life) will destroy themselves by their own strength. Stars will fall upon stars. And when all material things are in flames, everything which now shines according ...

... They are thought to be pictograms dating from 10,000 years ago. In western Europe what appears to be a writing system has been found on Bronze Age pots from the Orkneys to Mallorca. It could indicate that Britain, Spain and France were united in a literate culture and not the backward peasants they were thought to be when the Romans invaded. They date from the same time as the mysterious Linear A and B found on Crete. Linear A has now been found on Minoan artefacts on mainland Turkey; was there a Minoan colony there? Mediterranean mariners The Times 21.11.96, Scientific American July 96, pp. 66-71 The site of a Bronze Age ...
357. Ritual and Sacrifice [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , who are relatively non-ritualistic and even anti-ritualistic, nevertheless are insistent that baptism into the church should occur by total immersion of the freely consenting new member in water to signify death of the old life and rebirth in the new. Baptism in a church is general among the French, even though the population has abandoned almost all rituals of the Roman Catholic Christian religion. Early Christian leaders believed that they had found in the Deluge of Noah the ultimate precedent and model for baptism, which repeats for each "saved" initiate the end of the wicked world and the entrance into a new epoch. Rituals are centered upon the creation of the world and man, upon the first time ...
358. Pot Pourri [Journals] [SIS Review]
... 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 either side of the Severn; virtually landlocked Powys does not fit the description of the Albany which Geoffrey records as being repeatedly invaded by sea. Even to consider such a thesis, involving the relocation of much early Northumbrian history to the Welsh Marches, would imply rejection of Bede ...
359. Kadmos: The Primeval King [Journals] [Kronos]
... ) Several motifs in Berosus' account are of interest. Xisuthros' association with the origin of sacrificial rites unites him with Noah, but also with Manu, Menes, Kekrops, Yima, and Fo-Hi, all of whom were credited with instituting the rites of sacrifice.(52) Significantly, the same innovation was also attributed to the Roman Saturn.(53) The apotheosis of Xisuthros - hardly unique to Berosus' account, but without a parallel in Genesis - recalls that of Kadmos, who disappeared together with his celebrated palace during the mysterious circumstances surrounding the birth of Dionysus. As in the case ot Xisuthros, it was said that Kadmos went to live with the ...

... 8:2 1), and to the early Ptolemies and Seleucids, who are mentioned by implication (the latter two are known, respectively, as the king of the north' and the king of the south' but no biblical authority doubts that the prophet is referring to the Ptolemies and Seleucids). He also refers to the Romans, who send their ships to the aid of one of the kings of the region. (Dan. 11:29-30). This Roman intervention in the Levant is unlikely to have greatly preceded the alliance with Ptolemy II, concluded in 273BC. Because of such conflicting dates, commentators have been forced to abandon the idea that Daniel ...
