... the Iliad. However, he does contrive a lot of connections which do not fit. For example he tries to show a connection between Colchester and Colchis. He does not at least mention the traditional explanation of Colchester to be the camp-chester of King Cole. I recommend the book to those who are intersted in the Homeric Epics and the linguistic sites in Western Europe, however, I am certainly [based on context probably means not convinced] convinced that he is right. While I do not completely throw out his thesis he certainly is fighting an uphill battle. For example he theorized that Crete in Western Europe is Scandinavia, which to those have not read his book seems ...
162. Facts and Values: An Interdisciplinary Perspective [Journals] [Kronos]
... reported and what facts will be observed."(3 ) It is therefore "not feasible to insist upon the relativity of values but to ignore the relativity of facts . . . between them, logical and social scientific analyses of ideational phenomena have put an end to the age of innocence of facts . . . To their logical, linguistic and methodological relativity must be added their relativity to personality, society, language and culture".(4 ) I The immediate stimulus to this paper was "A Picture Technique for the Study of Values"- a provocative article by Professors Walter Goldschmidt and Robert Edgerton. After emphasizing the need for an objective, scientific approach to the ...
163. Velikovskian Catastrophes in the Revelation of St. John [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... ] The combination of hail and fire will be recognized by Velikovsky's readers. We have his well known explanation of the Hebrew word barad and can interpret the hail as meteorites. I personally do not think Velikovsky is right about the nature of the blood. In Exodus the word "blood" is used too often, and there is no linguistic reason to think that anything other than blood is meant. So I reject the reddish dust theory of Velikovsky. The great mountain and the great star can be interpreted as huge meteorites. About the burning of the third part of the earth we could remark that by this event the absence of reference to America in the Revelation can be ...
164. Dr. Robert Schoch: Voices of the Rocks [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... , he tells us how it may have happened. Asked to investigate the Sphinx at Giza, Schoch was troubled to find evidence of a much greater age than the 4,500 years suggested by Egyptologists. This led him to examine the possibility of a lost civilization dating back to at least 10,000 B.C . Looking at linguistic, geological, and archaeological evidence from around the world, he proposes an outline of prehistory that differs markedly from our received wisdom- after all, if the Lascaux cave paintings really are star maps, then we've got a lot of catching up to do. Schoch's willingness to dismiss implausible evidence and to use Occam's razor to cut away unnecessary ...
165. Akhnaten, Aten, and Venus Reconsidered [Journals] [Pensee]
... Is there not a similarity between the Hymn to Aten and the Babylonian psalms to Ishtar- a goddess associated with Venus(7 )? Why were Akhnaten's successors so excessively over-reactive in their vindictiveness to Aten?(8 ) Could the open temples of Aten have been for nighttime observation and worship?(9 ) And finally, are there any linguistic and cosmological relationships between the name Aten and that of the goddess Athena(10)-herself associated with Venus?(11) REFERENCES 1. "The pragmatic Egyptian Akhnaten was a wonderful reconciler; he was normally able to fit together two apparently conflicting concepts and treat them as different aspects of the same concept." J. ...
166. Fomenko is right! [Journals] [SIS Review]
... still only available in Russian). Fomenko and Nosovsky have offered evidence and reasoning to back up their claims. If the Palmers disagree with this evidence and reasoning, it is their responsibility to explain their disagreement. Fomenko's theory is a mathematical theory. If they can challenge the mathematical basis of Fomenko's theory then they need not bother with the linguistic and other interpretations. Their disagreement is expressed quite vividly and forcefully when they claim that Fomenko and Nosovsky are undoubtedly guilty of circular reasoning over the question of AD dates'. One of the basic conclusions of Fomenko's work is that the theologians and chronologists of the 16th-17th century AD' created the present traditional' chronology of the western world ...
167. Pillars of the Past by Charles Ginenthal (Book Review) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... would only acquire relevance (if at all) if they could be co-ordinated with the scientific evidence, which must have priority. It is the same for Ginenthal's critiques of the evidence allegedly provided by pottery dating and C14 dating. Not merely are they shown to be weak in themselves but, only if they are measured against what agricultural and linguistic and manufacturing science (not to mention animal domestication and burial tradition evidence) allow as probable in the first millennia BCE, and only if some part of their contents can be squared with these restrictions, can they be considered as having any historically indicative value. If not, they are to be rejected or adapted. That, I ...
168. The Ring About The Earth at 2300 BC [Journals] [SIS Review]
... last centuries of the third millennium BC. Kirk [2 ] 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. Many 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 ...
... agglutinative languages, we find, from the north-east to the north-west, the group of the Ugro-Japanese; in the south that of the Dravidians and the Malays, and in the west the Turkish languages. Lastly, Sanscrit with its derivatives, and the Iranian languages, represent, in the south and south-west, the inflectional languages. With the linguistic types accumulated around this central region of Asia all human languages are connected, either by their vocabulary or their grammar. Some of these Asiatic languages resemble very closely languages spoken in regions far removed, or separated from the area in question by very different languages. Lastly, it is from Asia, again, that our earliest-tamed domestic animals ...
