... 100 AD) (2 ), despite its disputably heretical content (3 ). The book may well have gone through its final editing at the time of Ezra, who first settled the Old Testament canon - however, such an editing may well have passed on to us a text from a far earlier date. The prophet Ezekiel, writing at the time of the destruction of the Temple, spoke of Job as being, with Noah and Daniel (4 ), an archetype of righteousness (Ezekiel 14:12-20). It was believed that the book of Job reflected the thoughts and words of an historical person and, as we shall see, there are clear indications ...
412. Open Forum, chaired by David Fairbairn [Journals] [SIS Review]
... were talking about the Chinese . . . David Davies: Is the Chinese system not applicable to the rest of the world, if those records don't go back further than a thousand years for the rest of the world, what happens in Russia and elsewhere? Questioner: The older civilisations, like those on the British Isles, did not write things down. There is no written explanation. We have Newgrange, which is 40 miles west of Dublin, which was an observatory. Interjection: You are thinking of Celtic culture? Questioner: It would be quite wrong to give it a name or attach any date to it. It was a vigorous society; if you travel ...
... The only master of this kind of observation hitherto has been Marcel Griaule (d . 1956) but he left an impressive cohort of disciples. They have renewed the understanding of African studies, showing that such systems are still alive with the Dogon, whom Griaule "discovered," in the true sense of the word. As Germaine Dieterlen writes: "The smallest everyday object may reveal a conscious reflection of a complex cosmogony. . . Thus for instance African techniques, so poor in appearance, like those of agriculture, weaving and smithing, have a rich, hidden content of significance . . . The sacrifice of a humble chicken, when accompanied by the necessary and effective ...
414. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... BICAMERAL MIND by Julian Jaynes. First published in Great Britain by Allen Lane 1979: reprinted in Pelican softback version 1982. Anyone who has been convinced of the importance and general validity of the works of Immanuel Velikovsky will appreciate the difficulty of impressing others of the same in the course of a few moments of conversation or a few lines of writing. The reasons for such difficulty lie in the originality and scope of his theories. Equally, THE ORIGIN OF CONSCIOUSNESS IN THE BREAKDOWN OF THE BICAMERAL MIND by Julian Jaynes is also highly original and of enormous scope. It is a very important book with great potential for the understanding of our past. The importance of Jaynes's work for ...

... Brad Aaronson (58 pages). Many attempts have been made to establish a chronology of the kings of Judah and North Israel. Some have required that the dates be internally consistent, while others have had extra-biblical synchronisms as their main priority. Very rarely have there been attempts to be true both to the biblical text AND extra-biblical history' writes Aaronson in his introduction to a chronological compendium which also seeks to show where Edwin Thiele went wrong.

... all probability these are the two natural phenomena to commemorate which the offerings on the dates in question were made. But Brugsch does not give the whole of the inscription. A part of it, translated by De Rougé, [3 ] runs thus: "I (the king) know what is said. in the depôt of the writings which are in the House of the Books. The Nile emerges from its fountains to give the fulness of life-necessaries to the gods," etc. De Rouge justly remarks: "Le langage singulier que tient ie Pharaon dédicateur pourrait même faire soupçonner qu'il ne s'agit pas de la venue effective de l'eau sainte du Nil à l'une des deux ...
417. Language and Thought in Ancient Egypt (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... ancient Macedonia". It is, of course, undeniable that educated Macedonians, such as Aristotle's pupil King Alexander, spoke Attic Greek. And it is probable that urban and coastal Macedonians spoke Aeolian Greek, the Hellenic dialect of the north-east Aegean region. But the indigenous language of Macedonia itself was almost certainly not Hellenic, although the fragmentary writings that survive do not permit us to say definitively whether its closest links were with Illyrian, with Thracian, or with Phrygian.(2 ) A second misleading passage occurs on p. 29, where Talbott asserts that "Coptic is . . . [an] essentially Christian language . . . Those who still speak [it] ...
418. Early History of the Israelite People: Biblical Fundamentalism in History (II) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Tel Dan, of an Aramaic inscription of about 850 BC which contained the phrases "House of David" and "king of Israel" (3 ) suddenly makes Thompson look ridiculous. After all, in his book, Thompson concluded that the David and Solomon traditions of the Bible are "inappropriate and of limited use to the task of writing a history of Israel's origins....The tradition fragments about Israelite kings prior to Omri (i .e ., Saul, David and Solomon), falling as they do outside a fixed dynastic structure, have a weak claim to historicity." (4 ) Because the biblical David was never mentioned outside the Bible, ...
419. Forum: Do the Early Middle Ages Survive Only as a Sacred Cow? C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to date from the birth of Christ was Furius Dionysius Philocalus in the year 354 [41] but neither he, nor Cassiodorus, nor Dionysius Exiguus used or propagated this dating method; the first was Beda Venerabilis in his History of the English Church and People, after 700. Palmer does not seem to know that a number of Bede's writings are clearly dated too early: the use of BC dates does not, as far as I know, appear (again) earlier than around 1070 with Marianus Scouttus [42]; Bede mentions that latterly' in England large stone churches were built with mortar; such churches were, however, not built in the 8th, but ...
420. The Ark And Tent Of Meeting [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon Volume VI, Number 6 Home | Issue Contents Forum The Ark And Tent Of Meeting Dick Gagel from the United Kingdom, writes: I would like to make the following comments re Flavio Barbiero's paper on "Mount Horeb and Judah's Sacred Treasures." [1 ] There seems to be a minor problem in that the non-canonical book of II Maccabees, as well as the King James version Barbiero used, speak only of "the tabernacle," whereas the JPS version, which I prefer for its more precise translation, mentions a "tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony;" [2 ] "the tabernacle of the tent of meeting;" ...
