... by discoveries in a not far distant field, presents a real threat to the survival of the species, for "a relatively minor emergency for a generalist could be a terminal disaster for a specialist". I felt bound to reply that, whilst this was certainly a valid view, it tended to overstate the case. Even as a linguist, my sympathies are towards "generalism" or "catholic interests". I feel extremely sorry for those who have no perception of the joys of language because they have lived their lives surrounded by equations; but at the same time for those who are imbued with an empathy for bygone civilisations but cannot grasp the fundamentals of Bode's Law ...

... feel should be the hallmark of the Velikovskian movement. Let me begin by telling you an anecdote which I think will be a sobering one. A few years ago Dr Velikovsky gave me an advance copy of Ramses II and His Time just before it was published, and with his permission I xeroxed certain pages relevant to Anatolia which dealt with linguistic evidence Velikovsky was mounting. I sent it to a very distinguished linguist, a friend of mine at the University of Cleveland. I did not tell him who wrote the material, but simply asked him to give me his opinion of it. A couple of weeks later, he called me up and very kindly, very gently, ...

94. Venus in Ancient Myth and Language [Journals] [Aeon]
... only rarely asked whether there might have been some external, objective reference for the beard of Venus. In ancient Italy the goddess Venus was also represented as bearded- Venus Barbata- a shocking revelation to modern romantics weaned on cinematic images of the celebrated goddess of love. (7 ) The beard of Venus would also appear to be reflected in the linguistic heritage of the Indo-European peoples. Thus, in Pokorny's Indogermanisches Etymologisches Worterbuch, one finds that *uendh signifies "beard," a word which shares the root *uen, regarded by Pokorny and others as that found in the name of Venus. (8 ) It goes without saying that linguistic scholars, unaware of the cometary phase ...

... as Ba'al, Dagon and Asherah who are familiar characters in the Canaanite pantheon of the Late Bronze Age. Attempts have been made to link some of the few Philistine names we know from the Old Testament, such as Achish and Goliath with Indo-European languages. I won't waste much time on discussing such theories, primarily because I am not a linguist, also because the material available is so scanty- all it amounts to is a few Philistine names and mostly speculation on linking them with foreign languages, this lacks the control we need. In fact, most of the names for Philistines that we know, from the Bible and Neo-Assyrian texts, are perfectly ordinary Semitic names common to ...

... last centuries of the third millennium BC. Kirk [6 ] addresses the mythology of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia (Iraq) and that of the Akkadians who conquered them at 2340 BC: Most of the surviving myths in Sumerian were written down, on the tablets we possess, as early as about 1700 BC, but can be shown on linguistic and other grounds to have originated by about 2300 BC. Any of the surviving Akkadian myths, on the other hand, are known primarily from Neo-Assyrian tablets recovered from the library of Ashurbanipal in seventh-century BC Nineveh, but can be shown to go back to the Old Babylonian era before the middle of the second millennium BC. Some contain ...

... Jan 1991) Home | Issue Contents THEORY WORKSHOP The Still-Lost City of Avaris: The Capital and Stronghold of the Hebrew Pharaohs (Hyksos)Tamara Futterman There has been much puzzlement, mystery, and scholarly debate during the last 150 years over the location of Avaris. Many proposals have been brought forth for the site of Avaris by archaeologists and linguists who interpreted the hieroglyphics. This has led to many a painstaking argument and a few retractions, but the search still persists. The leading contenders both past and present who claim their geographic area of work is the site of the fabled Avaris are: Archaeologists Sites Petrie Tell-el-Yehudiyeh Montet Tanis Bietak Tel-el-Dab'a Habachi Qantir All of these remarkable men disagreed ...

... is needed to fortify the cataclysmic scenario with the help of certain word meanings and select elements of myth. To isolate a few attributes of the primal demiurge and relate them uniquely with the Hermes/Mercury imagery, we shall digress momentarily to establish a foothold within the hermetic myth offering the following observation on elemental mercury (quicksilver) and its linguistic relationship with its one-time namesake, silver. Elements and Linguistics The element mercury was known to the ancient Chinese and Hindus, and was reported to have been found in Egyptian tombs conventionally dated from around 1500 B.C . Heinrich Schliemann, the acknowledged discoverer of ancient Troy, found a small vessel containing mercury during his excavations at Kurna ...

... virtually identical in fact to the Indo- Iranian language of the Medes. The text of a treaty between Mitanni and the Hittite land shows that Mitra, Varuna, and Indra, deities of Indo-Iranian origin, comprised the Mitanni pantheon. Indo-Iranian technical terms appear with great frequency in the Mitanni vocabulary.(9 ) True, another racial and linguistic group, designated Hurrian, is evinced in Mitannian documents and personal names. The exact relationship between the Hurrian and Iranian elements is unclear, though it would appear that the Iranian group was dominant, for all the Mitanni kings clearly had Iranian names. Hurrian is non-Indo-European, and is closely related to the language of Urartu, the region ...

... this supposedly pure- i.e ., value-free- work has always been strongly influenced by personal value-judgments, which with few exceptions have been supportive of the political status quo in the United States and have generally conveyed a false picture of political life in western democracies"(17). And when Noam Chomsky introduced the subjective dimension by insisting that linguists examine the infinite number of sentences humans can compose (rather than continuing with the classification of finite elements of human languages expected under the orthodox perspective), the definition of linguistics argued by the structural linguists, with its intense requirement for objective verification and exacting techniques for discoveries void of mental entities, could no longer persist (18) ...
