... the DNA of the Polynesian Islanders in order to show that they originated from New Guinea, afterwards spreading to Easter Island, Hawaii, and New Zealand. [1 ] The study of language, finally, can be especially helpful in investigating the cultural level and intellectual interests of ancient man. In 1786, William Jones sparked a revolution in linguistic theory with his demonstration that the Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin languages are related and likely go back to a common source. Thus, it can be shown that each of these language families shares numerous words in common, such as the words for "cow" (* gwou-) and "sheep" (* owi- ...

155. Uriel's Machine: The Ancient Origins Of Science, by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas (Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Yorkshire. They found it to be a highly accurate timing device' from which the lost physical principle behind the megalithic yard [was] rediscovered'. Referring to Richard Rudgley's Lost Civilizations of the Stone Age (Arrow Books, 1999) they mention the controversial linkage of Indo-European, Uralic, Altaic, Chukchi-Kamchatkan of Siberia and Eskimo-Aleut as one linguistic super-family, the Eurasiatic, and its even more controversial linkage to Dravidian, South Caucasian, Nilo-Saharan and Niger-Kordofanian as a near-universal mother-tongue, Nostratic. The wide variety of current languages seems to have developed from a single global language that may have still existed 15,000 years ago. ' Chapter 3 covers cosmic catastrophes, two of these ...
156. Odin [Journals] [Kronos]
... the wild hunt. Like that of other deities, the mythology of Odin/Woden is quite a complex one but, at its root, we can recognize several motifs which, without the shadow of a doubt, identify this Teutonic monarch with the real planet he originally personified. II While Kronos and chronos are semantically similar, they are linguistically derived from different roots. For this reason it has long been assumed that the connection of "chronos", which means "time", and Kronos, the name of the planet Saturn, was merely due to a pun of the Greeks. Recently, Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend have conclusively shown this not to have ...
157. Some Detailed Evidence from Egypt Against Velikovsky's Revised Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... is as well to realise that this process was going on not just for a few centuries, as it has here in this country, but that we are presented with the fragmented remains of a busy government which was scribbling away for over three thousand years. The task of the Egyptologist is, then, that of an archaeologist, a linguist and a historian all rolled into one. It is imperative that he not only understands the methods of these disciplines, but that he can apply one to another. A correct picture of events in ancient Egypt can only be constructed from a thorough and balanced survey of all the available evidence in whatever form it occurs. Egyptologists in recent ...

... to Dutch literature on the subject, As far as I know the last scientific investigation into the authenticity of the O.L .B . has been made by Mr E. Miedema and by a team headed by Prof. W.G . Hellinga of Amsterdam University at the close of the fifties. The results of this codicological and linguistic research is that the chronicle undoubtedly is a hoax'. 2.

... there are also more involved ones. A long (but solitary) article on Oceanic religion and mythology covers in some detail the history of European study of the subject and the way in which observers' prejudices have distorted their reconstructions. The contributors to Mythologies draw on sociology, on history- "the religious policies of Augustus"-on linguistics, on literary criticism- "myth in twentieth-century English literature"-, and on other disciplines; there are no narrow disciplinary constraints. Many of the articles tackle broad methodological or theoretical issues, often using their ostensible subject simply as a starting point. While there is no attempt to fit everything into one theoretical framework and individual articles ...

... From: Kronos Vol. III No. 4 (Summer 1978) Home | Issue Contents The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes (Houghton Mifflin Co., Boston, 1976; 467 pages, $12.50) Reviewed by Roger W. Wescott Professor of Anthropology and Linguistics Drew University, Madison, N. J. Jaynes' Origin of Consciousness is an exciting and exasperating book. It is exciting because it breaks important new ground and challenges a host of unwarranted assumptions about the development of the human mind since the Upper Paleolithic Period. Yet it is exasperating, not only because Jaynes writes as though no one but he had ...
