... Artaxerxes III [2 ]. Ancient kings bore names, which reflected their exalted status as temporal representatives of the gods. In a multi-ethnic empire such as the Persian, it is unlikely that the Great Kings would have been known by their Iranian names in the non-Persian regions. These names, as for example Xerxes (Khshyarsha), were religiously meaningless and, quite possibly, unpronounceable to the (intensely religious) inhabitants of Mesopotamia. In such circumstances, it is entirely to be expected that the Semitic-speakers of Mesopotamia would have had their own, religiously significant, name for this ruler. Having said all that, it is of course possible that the alter ego identifications I have ...

... What is it that has brought together this vast concourse drawn from every quarter of the world...? It is not the magnificence of the view which is stretched before you. It is the consciousness that this occasion marks a great epoch in the history of a people who made this little land of Palestine a seed ground of great religions, and whose intellectual and moral destiny is again, from a national point of view, reviving, and who will look back to this day which we are celebrating as one of the great milestones in its future career. I was a few minutes ago reminded by one friend that from where you are sitting you can see the very ...
845. A Fire not Blown [Books]
... that child sacrifice and cannibalism took place, a combination that reminds one of Kronos and Zeus. Temple ornaments included snakes, bull, horns, axe and statuettes of goddesses. What sort of temple was it at Knosos, and at Hawara for that matter? I suggest that the labyrinths at Hawara and at Knosos, as well as being religious, administrative and storage centres, were representations of heaven and earth, the cosmos. The same may be true of the Hittite capital of Hattusas. Several features tend to this conclusion. The vocabulary used for the pillar or column supports the idea that columns and colonnades represented paths from earth to sky. A summary of the words connected ...

... general attitude (blessed foolishness, as in the Roman Feast of Fools(15) or the Medieval realm of Cockaigne(16) ), AUREALISM Aurealism, derived from the obsolescent English adjective aureal, "golden",(17) denotes any attitude, behavior, or situation that recalls the Golden Age. Of the major philosophies and religions of the past three millennia, the one which is most explicitly and insistently aurealistic is almost certainly Taoism, the oldest of the Chinese thought-systems. In the Tao Teh Ching, the earliest Taoist scripture, Tao, "the Way Back", is described as follows: What it is What it is not immemorial modern latent patent revived ...
847. Ancient Astronauts [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Burning of Troy, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER NINE Ancient Astronauts Seeing that humans are very different from primates and yearning to stress that difference without the help of current religion, many people have taken an interest in the idea of the "ancient astronauts"[1 ]. Popularized especially by Erich von Daniken, and given intellectual respectability more recently by Robert Temple, the view maintains that primitive "backward" humans were visited by anatomically compatible beings from outer space, and taught the arts and sciences, including finally an enduring reverence for the visitors as gods. Most sets of myths do include a belief that god-heroes walked the Earth in ...
848. 1421: The Year China Discovered America (Book Review) [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon Volume VI, Number 6 Home | Issue Contents The Book Shelf 1421: The Year China Discovered America Gavin Menzies (William Morrow, New York 2003) Critiqued by Frederic Jueneman The early Fifteenth Century saw a burgeoning of the Renaissance in Europe- a stirring of intellectual, religious, and philosophical thought that also gave rise to visions of empire and conquest. And, apparently, so too in the Far East. Ming Emperor Zhu Di of China, in his infinite imperial wisdom, countermanded his conservative-minded mandarin advisors and commissioned an unprecedented fleet of ships to explore the entire globe in 1421, to bring veneration and tribute to his sovereign majesty, the Son of ...

... types of propositions: a) The Earth and its people have been subjected to catastrophic natural experiences (flood, heat, earthquake, meteoritic bombardment) of a kind unknown to recent history. b) These have occurred both before and after the passage of homo sapiens from the hominid. Evidence of them is to be located in legends, religions, psycho-social behavior , astro-physics, the geological and fossil record. d) A new general theory touching upon all fields of knowledge is evolving in the midst of conventional scientific theory, introducing critical modifications concerning natural history, the solar system, ancient history, and the origins of culture and human nature. SCHOLARLY INTEREST A number of scholars ...
