You’ve got to be wondering if Genesis 3 (Adam and Eve falling from the garden due to Eve picking from and Adam eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil) has the same meaning or (alternatively) relates to taboo sex as has been assumed by Freud and most modern men. A more thorough understanding of Mesopotamian mythology will provide the answer. Appendix D will give us absolute certainty of that answer. We’ll then have a better understanding of our own, modern religion. ISHTAR AND TAMMUZ Recall Professor Langdon’s description of Ishtar on v1-361 and the probability that she was once a witch. Langdon adds us that she was also known as Quadishtu, the ordinary Babylonian word for harlot. She was priestess of the temple prostitutes. (See Langdon: 30.) So, the witches, such as Gullveig (Chapter 21 ， v2-15), Toci (Chapter 35 ， v2-372) and Ishtar, were women who consorted with men of both subspecies. After the Species War victory, these collaborators would have been burned alive. During the Species War, they would have been always pregnant, thus their later association with fertility and nature per se . We can surmise that this group of highly charged, ambivalent, Species War victims became the “Earth Mothers,” “Great Mothers” or “Mother goddesses.” In the pages ahead, Sumerian data that verify this. These witch/Mother goddesses were thought to have had a special reason for migrating annually with the greenery to and from the underworld. It was thought that Ishtar and other Mother Goddess witches went regularly to the underworld to continue enjoying sexual relations with the Homo erecti . That’s why the first kings --who, as Graves informed us (in Chapter 5 ， v1-133), were the above-ground, magical lovers of the Mother Goddess --were dispatched and replaced at the first sign of any loss of virility. The first kings had to be as sexually satisfying as the Homo erectus gods if the Earth Mother and the vegetation were to return in full and on schedule. 3 In pagan times, prostitutes were fixtures in most of the temples for similar reasons. The temples were houses for gods who happened to be on earth. After the defeat of the totem monsters (Species War victory) and the enthronement of Marduk and during Marduk’s ordering and creation of the world, a passage of the Babylonian Creation Epic reads: After King Marduk had issued the laws of the totality of the gods, And for the Anunnaki of Heaven and Earth had decreed their laws, The Anunnaki opened their mouths, saying unto Marduk, their lord: ‘O divine light, lord who has brought about our deliverance, What shall be our sign of deliverance before thee? Come let us make a shrine, whose name is called, “Thy chamber, lo it is our place of repose by night”; Come let us repose therein. Come, we will found a shrine as an abode for thee. On the day when we shall arrive we will repose therein.’ --Langdon: 307 Prostitutes were assigned to the temples to (mysteriously and in magical rituals) ingratiate any gods who might be traveling through the area. The Homo erecti were thus assured that Homo sapiens had improved their attitudes and were deserving of divine beneficence. In their spare time and to make a living, the girls engaged in more concrete activities. A bronze model of a pagan temple, unearthed in Yunnan and on display in a Kunming, China park, confirms this primitive thinking. The women outside are depicted in sexually inviting positions. The roof depicts a large serpent, a welcome sign for the Homo erectus spirits flying overhead that this temple is for them. (Naturally I had to point all this out because Chinese people no longer prostitute themselves and couldn’t make heads or tails of it.) With the advent of modern times (trade, near-neighbor alienation and monogamy per Chapter 7) temple prostitutes and tales about the amours of the Earth Mother/Witches had to go. Prostitution and polygamy became abominations to all modern men who --for reasons necessary but unknown to themselves --had, in their public aspect , ceased to be libertines. Paganism’s bacchanalian depiction of afterlife and the resurrection was left intact; but all traces of prostitution and polygamy became unacceptable within proper society. So, at this time, our straight-laced, monogamous ancestors rewrote these myths to give the Earth Mothers a new motive for going to the underworld. The new motive reacted to the general tendency of rebellion to the new misery, to the 4 forced monogamy to which modern people have yet to fully adapt, to the psychic impotence they have yet to conquer. In the new versions, Ishtar was said to have married her own son; and it was understood that, as punishment for this violation of taboo, Ishtar or Tammuz had to seasonally serve time in Hell. Fortunately, you don’t have to rely completely on psychoanalysis and the logical development of my theories to know the nature of Ishtar’s original underworld visits. The original myths would have included material that made great dramatic and burlesque acts in pagan pageants. Even the sanitized version of Ishtar and Tammuz preserved some of this for its entertainment value. For example, when Ishtar, goddess of love and war, arrives at the gate of Hell, wanting to conquer a realm instead of merely individuals, she says, O watchman, open thy gate. Open thy gate, I will enter. If thou openest not the gate that I enter, I will break the door and shatter the lock. I will break the threshold and shatter the doors. I will cause the dead to arise that they consume the living. The dead shall be more numerous than the living. --Langdon: 330 Langdon reminds us that she made the same threat to Anu, father of the gods, in Gilgamesh when begging him to punish Gilgamesh for his rejection of her. It was understood that she had considerable influence with the Anunnaki ( Homo erectus underworld gods). Yet it is Ishtar’s “sister,” Ereshkigal, who is the reigning queen of Hell. That Ereshkigal is a Homo erectus unable to compete with the beautiful witch Ishtar is a safe bet based upon Ereshkigal’s description (footnote 133, on v1-322). So, Ereshkigal, wanting to avoid humiliation, consents reluctantly to Ishtar’s admission. Ishtar then undergoes the customary admissions procedure: at each gate of hell, she is stripped of a portion of her raiment until she passes through the seven th and final gate clad only in her birthday suit. Ishtar fails in this post-modern, renovated myth, to displace her sister Ereshkigal as the queen of Hell. Ereshkigal imprisons her immediately. Her prolonged imprisonment causes the vegetation to fail, the water to dry up and men and animals to become infertile. In desperation, the male gods work for her deliverance. Ea (Enki) forms an image with his mind and creates the beautiful eunuch Asu-su-namir . (“His coming forth is brilliant.” Ishtar was also the patroness of eunuchs who served in temples.) Ea then sends Papsukkal, the gods’ messenger, to Ereshkigal with this eunuch as a gift after instructing the eunuch: 5 May Ereshkigal see thee and rejoice at thy presence.

  • Piratas Y Aventureros En Las Costas De Nicaragua, Jaime Incer Barquero
    COMENTARIO A LAS CRÓNICAS DE JOHN ESQUEMELING John Esquemeling, cuyo verdadero nombre era Alexander Olivier Oexmelin, publicó en Amsterdam, en 1678, su famoso libro De Americaeneche Zee Roovers, "Los Bucaneros de América," obra que tuvo tal que fue de inmediato traducida al inglés y luego a otros idiomas. En ella dio a conocer las aventuras de algunos piratas que desde mediados del siglo mi merodeaban por las aguas del Caribe, contándose entre ellos el mismo autor, quien participó en 1671 como médico-barbero en la expedición de asalto a la dudad de Panamá, capitaneada por el célebre corsario inglés Henry Morgan. Después de la hazaña, Morgan y sus compinches de mayor confianza se alzaron con casi todo el botín, dejando abandonado y desamparado al grupo de Esquemeling, en la boca del río de Chagres, donde los piratas habían andado los barcos antes de cruzar el istmo con rumbo a Panamá. Por un tiempo Esquemeling y su gente recorrieron la costa pana- meña, en las inmediaciones de Bocas del Toro, en busca de alimentos y de otras provisiones; luego continuaron rumbo ala laguna de Blue- fields con el objeto carenar los barcos, en vista que el lugar también ofrecía buen resguardo a la flotilla corsaria (cróNica III). Estando en este lugar los piratas fueron ahuyentados por un grupo de indios—posiblemente Kukras—que mataron a flechazos a dos mujeres cautivas, enviadas a un río cercano para lavar la ropa de los bucaneros. Los piratas no lograron coger a los sospechosos, por haber éstos escapado rápidamente a la espesura de la selva.

  • Gender, Indigeneity, and Objects in Mexicana And
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Transindigenous Materialities: Gender, Indigeneity, and Objects in Mexicana and Chicana Performance A dissertation in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theater and Performance Studies by Yvette Martínez-Vu 2016 © Copyright by Yvette Martínez-Vu 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Transindigenous Affinities: Gender, Indigeneity, and Objects in Mexicana and Chicana Performance by Yvette Martínez-Vu Doctor of Philosophy in Theater and Performance Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Sean Aaron Metzger, Chair This dissertation addresses issues of gender and indigeneity through an analysis of ceremonial and quotidian objects used within contemporary Mexicana and Chicana performances. Performances by women residing on either side of the U.S.-Mexico border— specifically works by artists Jesusa Rodríguez, Fortaleza de la Mujer Maya (FOMMA), Cherríe Moraga, and Paulina Sahagun— draw on embodied forms of knowledge to resignify myths, record testimonies, construct forms of female solidarity, and demonstrate lateral connections among oppressed populations. This project posits the concept of transindigenous materialities as the shared though distinct ways that Mexicana and Chicana performances tactically use material items, which have indigenous markers, in ways that strengthen female agency. In contrast to other work that focuses on objects in more static environments like museums or archives, this project centers on the study of objects used in performance since a reading of objects as ii stationary risks relegating indigenous cultures to the past and European cultures to the present. This dissertation focuses on performances that rely on objects to stage dynamic relationships between objects and subjects.

Fash Molly Fierer-Donaldson To Be Born an Ancestor: Death and the Afterlife Among the Classic Period Royal Tombs of Copán, Honduras Abstract This goal of this dissertation is to participate in the study of funerary ritual for the Classic Maya. My approach evaluates comparatively the seven royal mortuary contexts from the city of Copán, Honduras during the Classic period from the early 5th century to early 9th century CE, in order to draw out the ideas that infused the ritual behavior. It is concerned with analyzing the tomb as a ritual context that is a materialization of a community's ideas about death and the afterlife. The heart is the data gathered from my participation in the excavation of the Classic period royal tomb called the Oropéndola Tomb.

  • The Barroque Paradise of Santa María Tonantzintla (Part II1)
    14 ETHNOLOGIA ACTUALIS Vol. 16, No. 2/2016 JULIO GLOCKNER The Barroque Paradise of Santa María Tonantzitla II The Barroque Paradise of Santa María Tonantzintla (Part II1) JULIO GLOCKNER Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities, Meritorious Autonomous University of Puebla, Puebla [email protected] ABSTRACT The baroque church of Santa María Tonantzintla is located in the Valley of Cholula in the Central Mexican Plateau and it was built during 16th-19th century. Its interior decoration shows an interesting symbolic fusion of Christian elements with Mesoamerican religious aspects of Nahua origin. Scholars of Mexican colonial art interpreted the Catholic iconography of Santa María Tonantzintla church as the Assumption of the Virgin Mary up to the celestial kingdom and her coronation by the holy Trinity. One of those scholars, Francisco de la Maza, proposed the idea that apart from that, the ornaments of the church evoke Tlalocan, paradise of the ancient deity of rain known as Tlaloc. Following this interpretation this study explores the relation between the Virgin Mary and the ancient Nahua deity of Earth and fertility called Tonatzin in order to show the profound syncretic bonds which exist between Christian and Mesoamerican traditions. KEY WORDS: syncretism, altepetl, Tlalocan, Tamoanchan, Ometeotl, Nahua culture, Tonantzintla 1 This text is a continuation of the article published in previous volume. In. Ethnologia actualis.

Printed in the United States of America oi.uchicago.edu PREFACE HE book contains twelve chapters, but it can be broken up structurally into five parts. First, the place of writing among the various systems of human inter­ communication is discussed. This is followed by four Tchapters devoted to the descriptive and comparative treatment of the various types of writing in the world. The sixth chapter deals with the evolution of writing from the earliest stages of picture writing to a full alphabet. The next four chapters deal with general problems, such as the future of writing and the relationship of writing to speech, art, and religion. Of the two final chapters, one contains the first attempt to establish a full terminology of writing, the other an extensive bibliography. The aim of this study is to lay a foundation for a new science of writing which might be called grammatology. While the general histories of writing treat individual writings mainly from a descriptive-historical point of view, the new science attempts to establish general principles governing the use and evolution of writing on a comparative-typological basis.

  • View That the Present Study Affirms
    1 CYNEWULF'S ASCENSION (CHRIST II): A CRITICAL EDITION Roland T. Williams A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 197U Approved by Doctoral Committee Advisor Department of Englzi ¿f7 iJ-l—dJ —;; WWUNG GREEN Stint UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ABSTRACT Ascension (Christ II) is one of four Old English poems (the other three are Fates of the Apostles, Juliana, and Elene) with the name "Cynewulf" embedded in runes, acrostic-fashion, near the end. The purpose of the dissertation is to present a text of Ascension, transcribed from the Exeter Book facsimile. Included, too, are textual notes and commentary, introduction, translation, and glossary. Although the poem has been edited as part of the Exeter Book, as one of Cynewulf's signed works, and in collections of Old English literature, it has never been issued before as a separate work. The first 1,664 lines of the Exeter Book have been divided by scholars into Christ I (Advent), Christ II (Ascension), and Christ III (The Last Judgment) and were considered for many years to be a trilogy called Christ. Since Benjamin Thorpe published the first edition of the Exeter Book in 1842, scholars have repeated­ ly attempted to discover whether Cynewulf wrote one, two, or all three parts. For the reason that Cynewulf's name appears only at the end of Ascension, current scholarship holds that Cynewulf wrote only this poem, a view that the present study affirms. The introduction includes a discussion of the background of the Exeter Book, problems relating to authorship, dating, dialect, and runic writing, and a critical analysis which ejqjlores the structure, diction, imagery, and theme of the poem.

A number of contemporary philosophical schools of thought have sought, implicitly or explicitly, to answer the question. That an answer to the question be found is of utmost importance for the practice of philosophy, and yet none seems to be forthcoming. In this thesis, we propose to examine Plato’s concept of reason. Our method in the thesis, however, is to proceed negatively: first, we examine the misology passage from the Phaedo 89d: why is the greatest evil to become a misologue (hater of reason)? What does this say about Plato’s conception of reason? What is the connection between reason, pleasure, and pain? Next, we move to the Phaedrus, where a more constructive account is offered.
