... [53] One final name remains to be considered- Tid'al. This name is intended to represent the form Tudkhalia,[54] a Hittite name, although specific identity with one of the four Hittite kings by this name cannot be suggested. That Tid'al is but a contracted form of Tudkhalia is almost universally accepted and offers no major linguistic problems. Tudija is also a contraction or hypocoristicon of some longer name. [55]As such it would perhaps constitute the Vorlage of Tudkhalia. Granting the possibility that Tudiya is a hypocoristicon of Tudkhalia and Tid'al, the following will attempt to establish a historical connection between these two individuals. Tudiya is a name that would have flourished ...
42. Sagan's Pseudo-sagacity: Style As A Reflection Of Character (Or The Lack Thereof) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... used only by academics. Today such language is rife in our society. The syllogism goes something like this: since works of genius are sometimes difficult to understand, if I make my language difficult to understand, people will think I'm a genius. Regrettably, this stratagem often works. Several years ago, in a carefully controlled study, linguistic researchers discovered that English teachers award their highest marks to essays that are written in verbose, stilted, highflown language. Joyce Markle, a college English teacher, commented on this dismal discovery in a letter to the Chicago Tribute . . . . Why do teachers reward inflated, vague expression? Indeed why do any of us? It ...
43. Sinking and Rising Lands [Books] [de Grazia books]
... for moving up and down here and there leaving scarcely a clue as to the causes. The wisest path may be to pursue a general theory, such as the Ice Ages or, I think, a great lunar eruption, and build hypotheses and information upon it. The legendary voices are worth an audience. Alexander Kondratov, a Soviet linguist and compiler of legendary and geological evidence of the sinking of lands, writes [2 ]: China's oldest myths tell of a war between the god of fire and the god of water at the beginning of the world. ' The mountains erupted fire, the earth quaked and the sea attacked the land. When the fire god was ...
44. The Methodology of Patten's Martian Scenario [Journals] [Aeon]
... to "k " in sound and sometimes represented by "ch" or "kh." (56) As such, the ' has to be taken into consideration. The etymological roots of the names, PL in one case and B L in the other, bear no relation to each other. Despite McDowell and Patten, a linguistic derivation of "Apel" from "Ba al" is therefore philologically improbable. Moreover, as stated above, words which derive from each other retain their meaning. The names "Baal" and "Apel" (Apollo, Apollon) have entirely different meanings. As we have seen, the former translates as "lord," ...
45. The Military Strategy of Sheshonq/Shishak in Palestine [Journals] [SIS Review]
... follows is, therefore, an apology for this original identification of Champollion and with it a tribute to the greatness of his contribution in this and many other areas. Modern scholars stand upon the shoulders of Champollion, and those shoulders are very large. What's In a Name? The very first point with which one must grapple here is the linguistic question of whether the Egyptian name Sheshonq and the biblical name Shishak are equivalent or not. Champollion and others following in his train have said that they are: Bimson denies this linguistic equation. Words in general and names in particular consist of consonants and vowels. The Egyptians did not write vowels so there is no source of comparison available ...
46. EBLA -- A New Look at History (Review) [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Tell Mardikh they were not in search of Ebla. But rather luck and chance, the patron deities of archaeologists, found Ebla in spite of their collective musings. As one who has an interest in historicalgeography I continually find the case of Ebla instructive and try to remember that precise identification of ancient sites without excavation or other archaeological or clear linguistic corroboration is at best provisional. The other element in the historical-geography is the identification of the almost 1000 place names in and around Ebla. Most of these are certainly local towns and villages, yet others are to be sought across the length and breadth of the Ancient Near East. Some of the more certain localities are Kish, Mari ...
47. The Son of Tanit Among the Olmecs: Additional Evidence of a Possible Phoenician Contact with the Olmecs [Journals] [Kronos]
... flood legend, as well as to the Mayan claim that the story of the parting of the Red Sea refers to their own ancestors.(22) While admitting that the debate remains open, Soustelle rejects all such evidence as too imprecise and intuitive and calls for dealing only with incontestable facts.(23) Perhaps a consideration of the linguistic evidence can supply more tangible indications. The early identification of Hebrew (hence perhaps actually Phoenician) words among the Amerindians by Las Casas and other early Spaniards is suspect as having been influenced by the wide-spread European concept of the Amerindians as the lost tribes of Israel.(24) However, the name of the man claimed by the ...
48. On the Idenrification of Denien with Athenians and the "Double T" in P-R-S-TT [Journals] [Kronos]
... can assume that the Egyptian of the period of Ramses III likewise had a "letter" which could be pronounced "t " and "th" (and not tj) and was used in the transliteration of Athens in Egyptian. Thus Dr. Velikovsky's identification of Dnyn with "Athenians" is quite plausible. It is based on sound linguistics. Dr. Velikovsky identifies the "P-r-s-tt" [as well as the "P-r-s-t" of Ramses III- Ed.] with the Persians. One "difficulty" with this identification seems to be a "double t" [in later texts, e.g ., the Canopus Degree- Ed.]. In Hebrew ...
49. Darwin's Dangerous Idea: A Critique [Journals] [Aeon]
... who doubts that the variety of life on this planet was produced by a process of evolution is simply ignorant- inexcusably ignorant." [6 ] The dangerous aspect of Darwin's idea, according to Dennett, is its impact on almost all other "evolutionary" (read developmental) ideas, whether in such chosen fields as societal advances, linguistics, or economics. Or- whee and whoopee!- whether the idea's impact effectively operates under a conceptual blanket covering all the physical sciences, including architectural and engineering design processes and technology, as well as the aggregate body of disciplines comprising the arts and the humanities. In short, he identifies and associates Darwin's ideological impact with the ...
50. The Age Of Man In America [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... until early in the 20th century. According to Roger Lewin: " The origins of American Indians is a topic that has occupied the minds of western scholars for nearly 500 years, ' explains Richard Morland of the Canadian Museum in Ottawa. In the late eighteenth century, for instance, Thomas Jefferson became convinced on the basis of archaeological and linguistic evidence that America Indians shared a common origin with northern Asiatics. And the diversity of America Indian languages persuaded him that they had a very long history. Through Darwin's time, scholars even suggested that American Indian history went back perhaps as far as 100,000 years. This notion was squashed at the turn of the century by American ...
