... Gk. sacred-tree trunk, temple. {Gk. or Indo-Gk. dug-out, skiff. So taking for his fulcrum the dug-out idea of a boat and wholly ignoring the stone idea of the deity-container, the beth-EI. But the Odyssey (xix, 163) remembered the two beliefs: "Thou art not sprung from the oak (or tree) renowned in story, or from a rock." And Dr. Schrader adds, "the question is to the root of this stem may be left undiscussed "; but I am not inclined to throw up the sponge just yet awhile. The Altar became even the extreme point of the Earth in its relation to the heavens ...
162. The Legends of the Jews: Volume I - Noah [Books]
... name, dreamed dreams. The one saw a great stone which covered the earth, and the earth was marked all over with lines upon lines of writing. An angel came, and with a knife obliterated all the lines, leaving but four letters upon the stone. The other son saw a large pleasure grove planted with all sorts of trees. But angels approached bearing axes, and they felled the trees, sparing a single one with three of its branches. When Hiwwa and Hiyya awoke, they repaired to their father, who interpreted the dreams for them, saying, "God will bring a deluge, and none will escape with his life, excepting only Noah and ...

... the one desires a south wind, the other a north wind. Canst thou produce a wind to satisfy the two? On the morrow Haman and Mordecai will appear before thee. Wilt thou be able to side with both?" (19) The scene of the festivities was in the royal gardens. The upper branches of the high trees were made to interlace with each other, so as to form vaulted arches, and the smaller trees with aromatic foliage were taken up out of the ground, and placed in artfully constructed tents. From tree to tree stretched curtains of byssus, white and sapphire blue, and vivid green and royal purple, fastened to their supports by ...
164. L'Énigme de la Structure Elliptique [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Studies 60 (2001). It is reliably reported (by Stuart Dunn, speaker at the ISIS AGM) that the date of the eruption of Thera is soon to be back in the news. The OC archaeological date for the eruption seems to fall in the early 18th Dynasty, say c.152 BC on OC, but a tree ring anomaly dated to 1628BC has often been linked to this very large eruption. Readers may recall my report in C&CR 1998:1 pp. 27-9 entitled (prematurely it now seems) Demise of the Scientific' Date for Thera'. I explained how one team of Greenland ice core researchers had found minute volcanic tephra particles ...
165. News from the Internet [Journals] [SIS Review]
... follow a branching pattern. Small streams join larger ones and are, themselves, joined by even smaller streams. The exact appearance of the branching pattern, however, varies quite a bit. The most common pattern, known as dendritic (" treelike"), resembles the pattern of branches and twigs that you can see in any deciduous tree, such as a maple or an elm. This pattern develops when streams flow over rocks that are fairly uniform in their resistance to erosion. Flat-lying sedimentary rocks, or massive rocks of any kind fall into this category. Because streams can cut as easily in one place as another, their actual network pattern is the result of random ...
166. Solomon and Sheba [Journals] [SIS Review]
... (I Kings 11:14-25), he was never seriously challenged during his entire 40-year reign. In fact, the era of Solomon and Hatshepsut (in revisionist terms) was one of singular peace. Hatshepsut would also have noticed Solomon's magnificent fleet (I Kings 10:11) and the parks and gardens in Jerusalem with their exotic trees (Song of Songs 51; 62). Hatshepsut asked Solomon for help in governing her land. She also probably sought military back-up in case other forces in Egypt took advantage of the Pharaoh's death to engineer a coup against young Thutmose III [32]. Perhaps there were some who did not dispute his accession but were ready to ...

... recorded, with sudden direction changes. More on Tunguska Science Frontiers No. 100, Jul-Aug 95, p. 3 Optical anomalies appeared across northern Europe a week before the Tunguska event and a local magnetic storm began just after the event. The object' left no smoky trail as do normal fireballs, but iridescent bands like a rainbow. Trees tune in together New Scientist 13.5 .95, p. 21 Researchers measuring the bioelectric potential of trees in primeval forests in Japan have found that some groups share the same daily pattern change. This could mean that that they are communicating, or simply that they are all responding in the same way to small changes in local ...
168. KA [Books]
... legion should have the name. Q-CD vol 12: KA, Ch. 5: Deities of Delphi 82 Alkuon, Latin alcedo, is the kingfisher. Alkedonia are the fourteen days when kingfishers brood and the sea is calm. The Greek kuo means contain. The woodpecker is in Latin picus, in Greek druops. As drus is a tree, especially an oak tree, it seems possible that the name means the voice from the tree. Another kind of woodpecker mentioned in The Birds is the drukolaptes. Qol is the Hebrew for voice. The woodpecker was important in augury for its note and appearance. It was sacred to Mars. Perhaps its rapid fire tapping suggested a ...
169. The Fire Came By: The Riddle of the Great Siberian Explosion by John Baxter and Thomas Atkins [Journals] [Kronos]
... to know or piece together the bizarre events which occurred in the remote Siberian taiga. Headed by Leonid A. Kulik, of the Soviet Academy, a small expedition laboriously made its way to the site of the explosion in the Kimchu-Khushmo tributary basin (60 55' N, 101 57' E). And they found the tops of trees snapped off nearly 60 km from ground-zero, while as they approached the epicenter they saw fallen trees radially uprooted away from the blast area. Directly underneath, a stark, leafless forest greeted their eyes, as those trees still left standing told of a firestorm which man himself wouldn't create for almost another two decades. But no fragments of ...

Later on they and others investigated the amino acid composition of various proteins, e.g . haemoglobin, in various species.
