... to this time the Admonitions was thought to be composed of separate and independent sayings. It was Lange, Chief Librarian of the Royal Academy at Copenhagen, who in 1903 demonstrated that the text was in fact a continuous whole. He furthermore declared that it was of poetical and semi-philosophical nature, prophetic (actually Messianic) in meaning, with linguistic ties to such Middle Kingdom literature as the Instructions of Amenenthet I and A Dispute Over Suicide. It appeared to them to be spoken to the king who was responsible for a coming era of disaster being predicted in the papyrus. "The characteristic feature of this group of Middle Kingdom texts," Gardiner explained, "is that, ...
352. The Personal Tragedy of Albert Einstein [Journals] [Kronos]
... " used so effectively in promoting "The Theory," Dr. Poor gives a calm, dignified appraisal of a field of knowledge in which he has few equals. Another writer to question seriously the basis of relativity was Arthur Lynch, a most remarkable man of unusual courage and breadth of interest. He was a graduate engineer, a linguist; he studied physics in Berlin, took his medical degree in London, and later an electrical engineering diploma in Paris. He served in the British Parliament for 10 years, and practiced medicine in London for twenty-six years. In 1927 he published his first volume on scientific fallacies, and in 1931 his second. He shows clearly that ...
353. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Phaistos disc cracked New Scientist 15.6 .96, pp. 36-39, 20.7 .96, p. 22 A mysterious script carved on wooden tablets on Easter Island has been deciphered. It was probably inspired after early visits by the Spanish, using characters derived from motifs already present in rock art. Fischer, an independent linguist, claims it was used to record religious procreation chants but details are still awaited. He has also claimed to have deciphered the Phaistos disc, found in Minoan Crete and dated to 1600BC. He suggests it is a previously unknown Hellenic dialect and is a call to arms.

354. Electricity [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . They put together a rough lingua franca from the language of the area to communicate on the job. The approach of a large body (there were actually many adoring and frightened references to planet Mercury around this time) occasioned the build-up of charge and then a flowing discharge through the structure, creating a confusion in administrative orders and a linguistic amnesia especially in the lingua franca. No longer could people understand each other. And then the whole edifice was stuck by immense cosmic bolts, partly fractured, and exploded. "Slow lightning" is the geologically and biologically effective discharge of terrestrial electricity. A "slow lightning flood" may be conceivable, too. The curious vitrified ...

356. The Relevance Of The Velikovsky Scenario To The Homeric Question [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... fits in well with the peculiarities of Homeric language. Could not his new patron have felt that it was once again worth going to the trouble and expense of having the second poem written once the precedent had been set? Could not the fresh background, as well as the greater age of the poet, do something to account for the linguistic differences emphasized and apparently exaggerated by Page, while the identity of the monumental poet would save the underlying impression of unity between the two poems which fit in quite nicely with the available data? Early in the fourth book of the Iliad, Hera tells Zeus he is welcome to take out Mycenae and Pylos if she and Athene can wreck ...
357. The Shrine of Baal-Zephon [Journals] [Aeon]
... other scholars before me. (91) If this double hypothesis is correct, it would then follow that the long-sought-for Pi-ha-hiroth was either situated on the same Bardawil Peninsula or somewhere on the opposite shore of Sabkhat al Bardawil. Feldman himself has suggested "the town beside Lake Serbon that Greek geography called Gerrha" (92) and gives some linguistic evidence to uphold it. (93) GEOLOGY AND ARCHAEOLOGY Most scholars, however, have not been able to accept this supposition- among them Bob Porter, (94) John Bimson, (95) and David Slade. Slade, for instance, has come up with two objections, the first being that "the distance in ...

359. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... which Blok has accomplished. However, her exposition seems disorganized at times, and her arguments are inconsistent in a few places. The first part of the book primarily delineates the changes in modern interpretations of Amazon mythology since the eighteenth century. Her summaries and critiques are highly useful and insightful as she looks at methods of investigation as different as linguistic archaeology, which really begins with Herodotus in the fifth century BCE, the Symbolik approach started by Creuzer in the early nineteenth century and, finally, the modern structuralistic views of Tyrrell. Many of her summaries strike me as simplistic, but her historical comparisons give insight into how scholars have learned from, and confronted, each other in ...
360. Dating the "Admonitions": Advance Report [Journals] [SIS Review]
... text is composed in the later metre, but adds the emphatic caveat that this conclusion "is valid solely and exclusively for the final redaction of the overall text"; there is evidence that parts of it may have existed originally in O.K . metre. 16. Conclusions. Taking the above survey with the ambiguous evidence of the linguistic usages found in the papyrus, it becomes clear that those who have spoken for a simple First Intermediate Period dating or for a straightforward Thirteenth Dynasty origin have been too glib, and a broader solution is called for. This will be presented in the full paper; while raising fundamental questions in a number of details, it will offer ...
