... the course of the sun), the old man was ready to come down and thrash him. On coming to a house the visitor should go round deisealto secure luck in the object of his visit.30 It is not stated in Joshua (chap. vi) whether Jericho was encircled by the left or by the right. A horn was, however, blown: And it shall come to pass that when they (the priests) make & long blast with the ram's horn and when ye shall hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down fiat, and the people shall ...
... nearest "relative" of Sumerian trees. Says one of the Finnish runes: "Long oak, broad oak. What is the wood of its root? Gold is the wood of its root. The sky is the wood of the oak's summit. An enclosure within the sky. A wether in the enclosure. A granary on the horn of the wether." [n4 K. Krohn, Magische Ursprungsrunen der Finnen (1924), p. 192.]. The next version boldly puts "the granary upon the top of the cross." According to a further version, in the crown of the oak is a cradle with a little boy, who has ...
... birth, the one goes eastward and the other westward, to meet only after the lapse of seventy years, propagate themselves, and perish.[144] A traveller who once saw a reem one day old described its height to be four parasangs, and the length of its head one parasang and a half.[145] Its horns measure one hundred ells, and their height is a great deal more.[146] One of the most remarkable creatures is the "man of the mountain," Adne Sadeh, or, briefly, Adam.[147] His form is exactly that of a human being, but he is fastened to the ground by means ...

... are the pressures of natural selection weeding out the unfit and imperfect, which, as the narrator glibly told us at the end of the programme, were responsible for the magnificent adaption of these animals to a life at sea? (2 ) An extinct tortoise from an island off the coast of New South Wales is unique, bearing large horns on its head. These would have prevented it from withdrawing its head into the protection of its shell. Dr Ritchie, its discoverer, observed that "it probably had no enemies". Why, then, we may ask, did it need horns? They cannot have been selected for defence: instead this horned tortoise is a ...

... in the pure abode, 156. Since you touch the sky with your finger, 157. Since (for that reason) you did not want to prostrate yourself, 158. You did not rub (your) beard in the dust. 159. I kill you, to the earth I cast you down! 160. Like a horned bull I take you by the horns, 161. Like a giant bull by the great shoulders I fling you to the ground, 162. Like a bull by your mighty horns I make you touch the floor, I pursue you with (my) hatred! [23] Discussion It is immediately apparent on comparing "Inanna and ...

157. Stonehenge: Neolithic Man and the Cosmos, by John North [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the hill figures - such as the Uffington White Horse carved on the Berkshire Downs. He makes the claim that it is aligned to mark the rising of the constellation of Taurus. To be precise, the rising of the bright star Aldebaran, the bull's eye. Aldebaran lies in the star cluster known as the Hyades (the head and horns of the Taurus). Elsewhere, North is described as erudite, very intelligent, and a clever chap. He is a professor and the author of several books on unrelated subjects and only time will tell whether or not his ideas have any credence. My interest was immediately awakened by his alignments to star clusters such as the Pleiades ...

... year, when the land not only had to be left fallow, but had to be returned to its original proprietors. According to the law, one could not convey his land for ever; the deed of sale was but a lease for whatever number of years remained until the jubilee year. The year was proclaimed by the blowing of horns on the Day of Atonement. "In the Day of Atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you, and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ...

... . "[ The angel of the Lord] passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses" (Exodus 12 : 27). Nogaf, meaning "smote," is the word used for a very violent blow, as, for instance, goring by the horns of an ox. The Passover Haggadah says: "The firstborn of the Egyptians didst Thou crush at midnight." The reason why the Israelites were more fortunate in this plague than the Egyptians probably lies in the kind of material of which their dwellings were constructed. Occupying a marshy district and working on clay, the captives must have ...

... .D ., but it was eventually incorporated into lore attributed to Confucius (born 6th Century B.C .) . The evidence suggests that it is appropriate to Chinese scientific thought of no matter what era or dynasty. In the previous installment we mentioned the calendar and the musical scale as being in a very real sense the two horns of a mathematical dilemma that involved the concept of irrational numbers. By and large early scientists found irrationals abhorrent. In the effort to circumvent them set-theory calculations were often pushed to stratospheric heights. In astronomy these involved the notion of the Great Year. In acoustics the meganumbers were the result of computations like the 30 circlings of the scale ...
