... Concluding Note for KRONOS Readers I regret that I have been unable to complete the translation of Seti's BOOK OF GATES, or to share with readers of this journal the results obtained so far in my studies of the Egyptian language. This project required far more time than I expected when I began, now many years ago. I have substantial linguistic results and, when KRONOS continues, I hope to have more to say not only on Seti but on alternative systems of translation which may, after all, prove to be of use. Thank you for your interest, and special thanks to those who wrote to me to express interest in this effort. BIBLIOGRAPHY AND NOTES 1. ...
342. Challenges to Evolutionary Gradualism [Books]
... [2 : pp. 161-164]. Other scenarios of catastrophe, some but not all involving changes of tilt, have invoked extraterrestrial factors as the causal agents. As we have already seen, William Whiston formulated a catastrophist theory in the seventeenth century based on the assumed close passage of a comet. Then, in 1823, the German linguist J. G. Radlof argued that a large planet orbiting between Jupiter and Mars had been struck by a comet in historical times, with devastating consequences: one piece of the shattered planet came into close contact with Mars, which caused it to move into an almost circular orbit around the Sun as the planet we know as Venus, ...
343. The River of Ocean [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Rua. Among other epithets, this god was known as Rua-of-the-ocean-in-the-sky [47]. Despite the objections that might be raised by etymologists, we shall note the similarity between the name of this Tahitian god, Rua, and that of the Egyptian Ra whom we have already seen identified as a personification of Saturn. That divine names fit a linguistic pattern outside the artificial constraints erected by etymologists is also indicated by the African names of a pair of primeval deities. A Creation myth from that continent states: "At first there was no earth. There was Okun, the ocean, stretching over all things. Above the ocean was Olorun, the sky. Okun and Olorun contained ...

... each other in the original chaos. This introduces a much more ancient and certainly independent tradition, whose sources are in early Norse myth- or at least run through it from a still more ancient lineage. 26 CHAPTER II The Figure in Finland NOW THE DISCUSSION leaps, without apologies, over the impassable fence erected by modern philologists to protect the linguistic family of Indo-European languages from any improper dealings with strange outsiders. It is known that Finland, Esthonia and Lapland are a cultural island, ethnically related to the Hungarians and to other faraway Asian peoples: Siryenians, Votyaks, Cheremissians, Mordvinians, Voguls, Ostyaks. They speak languges which belong to the Ugro-Finnish family, as totally unrelated ...
347. Crazy Heroes of Dark Times [Books] [de Grazia books]
... bewilderment. If a sacred language was not understood, that would place the old civilization far into the past; but there are many tie-ins of Homeric and Mycenaean cultures. Conversely, the fact might indicate that the old civilization was either foreign (which it was not) or largely destroyed (which we think was the case). The linguistic melange (with its numerous catch-phrases of all Greek sub-cultures), which was Homeric Greek, was "instant prosody." There had been no time, no more than a couple of generations, to build an epic language. Yet such an epic language would surely have evolved smoothly and uniformly over the several centuries of any "Dark ...

... evidence for Norse atrocities and they could have simply been migrants. As such they appear to have colonised America 100 years before Columbus got there. A stone tablet dated 1362 and previously dismissed as a hoax, has been reinstated as genuine. It tells the story of an Indian raid on a Viking settlement in the Midwest. A professor of linguistics says There is no possibility of any faking....We cannot close our eyes any more to the fact that there was extensive knowledge of north America well before Columbus'. Meanwhile, back in England, was the defeat of the entire Viking army in 878 really led by a real Alfred the Great? There is much ...

... particular texts I did. It is now up to Danino to tell me on what grounds he has chosen the opposite view. I should, however, advise Danino that the proper study of Biblical matters is best conducted through a comparison of all the extant versions, including extra-Biblical and non-Biblical sources. Conclusions should take the discoveries of archaeology, linguistics, and whatever else touches upon the subject into consideration. A Biblical scholar who bases his opinions strictly on the Douay version of the Old Testament risks being branded an orthodox Catholic in matters where religious bias is best left behind. What then can be said of a scholar whose Biblical opinions are based solely on the Masoretic Text? Children ...
