... a whole, imagining it to be separated from Russia by the sea, as it once was. The size and topography fit Plato's description to a T! The iron-rich Gulf of Bothnia is like a gigantic hole punched in it. A triple killing? Aldland of course goes via Adland to Atlant. The -is ending would be added for linguistic correctness Simple! Then there is Stonehenge. There is a peculiar mystifying feature at Stonehenge that no one has ever been able to make head or tail of, apart, I would like to think, from the author of the OERA LINDA BOOK. Never mind that he doesn't once mention Stonehenge; it is another good example of his ...
372. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... her approach to the literary criticism of the Old Testament. After noting that literary analysis of Genesis and Exodus alone has produced "almost as many theories and interpretations as there are authors", she says: "Not being a literary critic oneself, one tends to accept the interpretation which seems most reasonable, without being able to judge the linguistic and textual problems involved. It is possible, however, to set the hypotheses against the historical and archaeological evidence and see how they fit." (p . 7) This surely explains why Kenyon favours an approach to the biblical narratives which dismisses the Bible's own historical framework, and often the individual narratives themselves, as artificial. ...
373. Cuneiform Astronomical Records and Celestial Instability [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 ...
374. Some Additional Evidence from the Period from the Exodus to the End of the Eighteenth Dynasty [Journals] [SIS Review]
... claim that these texts are of a later date than generally believed." And I quoted myself from my Theses. Only half a year later, on April 9, 1954, the New York Times carried on its front page a United Press news report that the ancient script "that for the last half-century and longer has baffled archaeologists and linguists has been decoded finally - by an amateur. The riddle was solved by Michael Ventris, an English architect." The language proved to be Greek, to the surprise of many scholars; the entire field of study of Early Greek Civilisation experienced the greatest shock since the discovery of Troy. In the deciphered tablets the names of the ...
375. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Australian animals are never in the same layers as human artefacts. Until recently, the best evidence was from America where the oldest human artefacts, spear points from New Mexico, were dated at 12,000 years old. But some authorities thought that man must have entered the New World much earlier on the evidence of anatomical, genetic and linguistic characteristics of the modern, native Americans. Where there is evidence for massive slaughter of large animals, as in the driving of herds over cliffs, the animal concerned was the America bison which survived in huge numbers despite this, until the advent of Europeans with modern weapons. The final blow to the theory was the recent discovery of ...
376. Let There Be Darkness: An Archetypal Analysis of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich [Journals] [Aeon]
... ) and thereafter can be found spelled in a number of different ways: Hiedler, Hietler, Hytler, Huetler, Huedler, Hittler, and, in one early eighteenth century instance, Hitler. The name Hitler and all its variants is probably of Czech origin (40) but its meaning remains uncertain. ". .. there are linguistic reasons for believing that it cannot be derived from Hütte, hut, or Hut, hat. The most likely, but still unprovable, derivation is from Heide, heath, with its derivative Heidjer, heathman, heathen, hence pagan." (41) Whether the etymology of the name is correct or not, Hitler fully lived ...
377. Late Pleistocene Extinctions: No Evidence for Plato's Atlantis [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... of Quaternary Extinctions is taken up with discussing the relative merits of climatic change and hunting as explanations for the late Pleistocene extinctions, without any unanimity of views emerging. However, it is reasonable to conclude that both must have played a part. But where does that leave Atlantis? The cover of the Fontana edition of Atlantis by writer and linguist Charles Berlitz claims it to be, "The first authoritative, scientifically clinching analysis of the real Atlantis". Berlitz himself is less forthright, but generally favours the scenario as presented by Plato, speaking of "The legend of Atlantis, now becoming a recognizable reality". In contrast, Zdenek Kukal concludes his Atlantis in the Light ...
378. The Saturn Thesis [Journals] [Aeon]
... receives the designation of "navel-born" in both Greek and Hindu symbolism, while the accounts of other peoples have the hero departing from the navel, or middle place, to begin his adventures in shaping the primeval world. Nave: In countless renderings of the sun-wheel, the wheel has a nave in which the axle turns. Mythologically, linguistically and pictographically, the nave and navel mean the same thing. One thus finds no basis in comparative mythology for separating the goddess as navel from the goddess as nave of the wheel. In India, where the motif of the cosmic wheel was most fully developed, the navel-goddess is in fact designated as the nave of the sun wheel ...
379. Earth-Venus Contacts in the Late 3rd Millennium BC? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Enheduanna was not a heroic figure like Joan of Arc, and hers was not a story of great patriotism. I cannot, therefore, visualise her composition being handed down by male bards: nor can I envisage a parallel female bardic tradition in ancient Sumer! And if this composition was not handed down in this way, others bearing strong linguistic affinities have either been transmitted by the oral route remarkably faithfully or have survived in written form. My prejudice that the original of "Inanna and Ebih" is old is reinforced by the references in "Nin-me-sar-ra" to Inanna's attack on the mountain of Ebih and how she burns it with fire. In addition, "Inanna and Ebih ...
380. The Electrical Axis and its Gaseous Radiation [Books] [de Grazia books]
... S.I .S . Review Among the Nagdju Dayak of Borneo, the Creator couple, dwelling as birds in the tree of life, fight and damage the tree badly. Some time after the first humans are born of their efforts, the tree is destroyed (ibid, pp77ff). More closely correlative with the axis in the linguistic frame of modern science is the concept of the "Central Fire" that occupied early Greek philosophy. This has particularly descended through the fragments attributed to Philolaos, the Pythagorean (Dreyer, p40-3). Rose has thoroughly explored the material. Philolaos was the first of the secretive Pythagoreans to publish a book and his treatment by Plato leaves ...
