... prolonged co-existence of different populations at Qafzeh and elsewhere. However, it is puzzling why there should have been no interbreeding, since the different groups seemed culturally very similar, to judge from the artifacts they left behind. One possible explanation, suggested by Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza of Stanford University, is that modern H. sapiens had developed a complex linguistic ability, whereas the archaic types (including the Neanderthals) had not: indeed, he and his colleagues have drawn up a family tree of the languages of the world which closely resembles ones constructed from genetic data [13,170,190]. In the course of time, the archaic populations may then simply have been out-competed ...
262. Velikovsky and his Critics by Shane Mage [Books]
... example as Tezcatlipoca in Mexico. But this is not the place to discuss the question, appropriate to Velikovsky's yet-unpublished investigation of earlier catastrophes, what does the planet Saturn have to do with the North Pole? If Sagan's example is trivial, it is so because it presents an instance of concordant symbolism seemingly restricted to a single European cultural and linguistic group, whereas the problem is to explain concordance among the traditions of radically separated societies. Greenberg criticizes the diffusionist hypothesis on the ground that there is no historical evidence whatever for large-scale intercontinental contacts in archaic times. This objection is well taken. While there certainly were occasional lengthy trade voyages, they could not have been other than few ...
263. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Pole Star [Books]
... Tao and Virtue, heavenly-honoured, (3 ) Yii-Hwang Shang-Ti (as above) also called Yu Ti, Jade-Ruler, for short.179 Of course, in accordance with Chinese fashions, the last-mentioned, number three, is the chief of the triad. I must here modify the interpretation given to P'an-Ku. It is more correctly, both linguistically and in cosmic myth, ' the Coiled Ancient' or ' coiled-up Antiquity', that is to say the Un-evolved Man, the one that contained all succeeding human beings in himself, if viewed as a Man-god, or Un-unrolled Time, if taken as a Kronos. Dr. Legge180says Pan-Ku is popularly described as "the first man ...
264. Thundergods and Thunderbolts [Journals] [Aeon]
... associated with the center of the ancient sun-god and thus came to share many of the mythical motifs associated with that sacred region. It stands to reason that ancient languages will also have preserved this archetypal relation between the celestial lightning and its place of origin in the heart or eye of the conjunctional "sun" -cum-Venus. Not being a linguist myself, I'll leave the documentation of this claim to others more capable of properly assessing the evidence. Yet a few hints are in order by way of introduction to the goldmine that likely awaits the diligent researcher. One should look for connections between "lightning" words and words signifying "sun," "center," "star ...
265. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ), the first permanent secretary of the Academie des Inscriptions. Fréret, who is properly described as l'un des savants les plus illustres que la France ait produit [10], in a series of monumental studies published in the acts of this academy, foresaw the immense advances that could be made in the study of ancient history by combining linguistics, mythology, chronology, geography, astronomy, and history of science in general, taking into account the information that was beginning to be available concerning the civilization of Mesopotamia, Persia, India and China. He realized that with this material there could be obtained conclusions that not only are revolutionary, but also particularly reliable. This point ...
266. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Three [Books]
... is' (B .G .) . It is suggestive that the Coptic word meaning come' is na (A .Rusch, Pauly- Wissowa-Kroll, R.E . xvi.2 (1935), col. 2190)." Thus it would seem that the self- originated movement' etc could well have arisen from linguistic plays on the Egyptian name Neith, a goddess who did become confused with Isis in the later periods of Egyptian history, and who was equated by the Greeks with their Athena. All of which would tell us nothing about the derivation of the Greek name Athena, of course. Indeed, as V records in his footnote to WIC ...
267. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... she is impressed by "how much fragmentation of information there is in archaeological publications, and how chronology is avoided." This is exemplified by the first item she submits: William H. Stiebing, "The End of the Mycenean Age", BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGIST, 1980, 43, p.7 . His thesis is that recent archaeological linguistic and climatological evidence supports the idea that neither the Dorians nor the so-called "Sea Peoples" brought about the collapse of the Mycenean Empire (and consequently the "Dark Ages of Greece"), but rather, "an overly centralised, highly specialised economy and a period of climatic change". Readers may recognise the name, Stiebing ...
268. Hereditary Monarchy in Assyria and the Assyrian Kinglist [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... . We can trace the royal succession all the way back to William the Conqueror of Normandy and the benchmark year of 1066 A.D . The personal records have all but disappeared by this juncture in history, but the principle of hereditary monarchy, from this time and even before it, can still be supported, based on cultural and linguistic continuity. This is generally true throughout Europe, a region that also shares a common culture and essentially cognate tongues. But now we pass through the extensive period of Roman rule, and cross the threshold of the modern age and enter the Hellenistic world. Our journey carries on through Persian, Babylonian, Assyrian, and back to ancient ...

270. The AAAS Is Alerted To Act. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... who had finally picked up the glove showed the public how unwarranted were their loud proclamations of inevitable victory. Now certainly something had to be done. No scientific magazine referred to the debate. Instead, voices were heard clamoring for another round. John Pfeiffer, in Science of July 13, 1951, questioned: Why haven't the astronomers, linguists, geologists, or anthropologists- speaking through their societies- come out with their feelings about Worlds in Collision? Or should that be the function of AAAS [American Association for the Advancement of Science]? If not, is there an organization that represents the body of American science in such matters? As described previously, the AAAS had six ...
