... Furthermore, as Taleb points out, Hieroglyphic Hittite script was already in use in Syria during the Imperial Hittite Age, examples being known from Ugarit (Ras Shamra), Alalakh and Aleppo [19]. It is therefore pointless to postulate its introduction by a hypothetical influx of Luwians after the destruction of the Empire. Taleb summed up the linguistic situation: "On the basis of the above, one may conclude that the people who wrote in h. Hittite in northern Syria in the first millennium were of the same composition found in north Syria and Anatolia in the second millennium. These people were Hittites', and while among them no doubt were Luwians Hittite is precisely the ...
382. He Who Shines by Day [Books] [de Grazia books]
... and B, namely that the two are associated in the same sentence, capable of undergoing the same logical analysis, have qualities that are comparable, and further that he who says so has some ulterior motive which joins them in his mind. From these examples we are led to various surmises, pertinent to the Love Affair. One is linguistic. One symbol can excite stimuli by being related logically and empirically to a predicate. It must be also related illogically, through sheer conditioning by "irrelevancies." We can imagine this seemingly foolish conversation: 1st speaker: "See the planet." All: "Yes." 1st speaker: "It is Athena." ...
383. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... others and cannot represent vultures (= a'), and thus, among other conclusions, we cannot be sure Israel is referred to. Perhaps his case is overstated, because stone-cut signs do vary quite considerably, even in individual heiroglyphic texts. Indo-European Origins?source: Scientific American March 1990, pp. 82-89 New ideas on the linguistics of the Indo-European languages have led to the conclusion that the original people came from the Caucasus-Anatolia region, about 6000 years ago. Subsequent migrations would have given rise to the Hittites, the Greeks, the Europeans, the Slavs, and to Iranian and Sanskrit. The reconstructed proto-language indicates that the environment of these original people was mountainous, ...
384. The Identification of the Biblical "Queen of Sheba" with Hatshepsut, "Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia" (Part III) [Journals] [Kronos]
... , too, remarks how "the poverty and meanness of the Egyptian gifts are in striking contrast to the value of those which they receive" (Memoir, p. 23). 111. The text was studied in the seminary of the Egyptian Department of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, under the supervision of Prof. Polotzky, a linguist, and his assistant, Dr. Groll, with the one and only aim of learning the language, its grammar, style, and phraseology. The text used was that reproduced in A. de Huck Egyptian Reading Book I (Leyden, 1948). (The "Urkunden der 18 Dynastie" were unavailable at that time to ...

386. A Reply to Stiebing [Journals] [Pensee]
... Horites or Troglodites: the reader of Ages in Chaos, in the chapter "Ras Shamra," is entertained to the view prevalent among leading historians that the Troglodites or cave dwellers composed the multi-language lexicons of Ugarit. In the section "Troglodytes or Carians?", I showed rather conclusively that the Egyptian Khar or Khur (made by linguists to "Hurrians") were not Troglodytes but Carians; actually the Egyptians called the Mediterranean the Sea of Khar, and they did not mean the Sea of Troglodytes, but the Sea of Carians (see also Herodotus about Carian navigation). I quoted numerous expressions in the Hebrew texts written in cuneiform letters found in the supposedly 14th ...
387. Hatshepsut and the Queen of Sheba: A Critique of Velikovsky's Identification and an Alternative View [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . Although Cush in the Bible normally indicated Nubia/Ethiopia, it should be noted that even in this context, as in 10:28, Sheba occurs with other clearly Arabian toponyms (Havilah, Raamah, Dedan). Most commentators are agreed that the lists in Genesis 10 do not simply record ethnic relationships but also reflect political, linguistic and geographical groupings. Viewed in this light it is understandable that Arabian names should occur in connection with Cush, as well as with the Arabian ancestor Joktan, since, as will be explained below, Arabian migrations into North-east Africa occurred from about 1000 BC, and resulted in a mixing of peoples there. Cf. the comment of ...
388. The Two Faces of Love [Books] [de Grazia books]
... connected with Hephaestus, a principal character of the Love Affair. Aeneas was a son of Venus, that is, Aphrodite, and Romulus a son of Mars. Julius Caesar claimed the same descent. If we did not believe that substantive connections may have existed between Aphrodite and the Moon, we should not be so concerned with demonstrating the linguistic associations. In our case, the allegation that Aphrodite was not thought to represent the Moon to the audience of Demodocus is tantamount to refusing much of the theory of this book. It is not the same as asking whether the Venus of Willendorf is really the planet Venus, or Aphrodite, or whatever; this is a conventional term ...
389. The Charisma of Moses [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Moses (though almost frustrated by the preemptive apostasy of the Golden Calf). Even with this explanation, modern exegesis has presented a hurdle to believing that this Ethical Dialogue is of Moses. Winnett [64] assigns the Ritual Decalogue [65] to the times of Moses and the Ethical one much later, to others. Judging its linguistics, it is, he argues, of a more cultivated age. The question can hardly be solved by stylistic considerations, inasmuch as, throughout the history of the Old Testament, we have a condition prevailing whereby, alongside what has found its way into writing, there runs an oral tradition that has not been written down and a ...
390. The Ring of Truth by Isaac Vail [Books]
... shadow of Death", not only to the Hebrews, but to all men. It was in later Greek thought that the shadowy Daphne was forever chased by the king of day, Apollo, around the world. Another witness demands entrance here. The Hebrew name for heaven, or the firmament, is Shamayim. Of course, all linguists know that "mayim" means "waters", and it plainly shows that the name had its origin in the fact that infant man saw, or thought he saw, waters on high. This being so, we cannot but face the Earth of primitive man as invested with shining waters. Sham plus Mayim means "there waters ...
