As with other volumes in this series, discoveries and scientific advances since the book’s first publication have corroborated and enhanced its underlying tenets and inescapable conclusions. In regard to prehistoric times, they affirmed—in the face of immense Establishment resistance—that the earliest settlers of the Americas did not arrive overland in the north during an ice age, but came by boats across the Pacific Ocean in the south. This has been what this book had held on the basis of the legends or “myths” of the Mesoamerican and South American peoples. Those new scientific findings fortified this author’s long-held belief that Mankind’s pre- historic tales, which scholars dismiss as imagined myths, are in fact retained memories of actual events and ancient knowledge. Regarding historic times, the new discoveries affirmed the book’s conclusions about millennia L old links between the New World and Old World, and the identity of the gods credited with granting the New World civilization—the Sumerian/Hittite god Adad/Teshub as “Viracocha” of South America, and the Sumerian/Egyptian god Ningishzidda/Thoth as “Quetzalcoatl” of Mesoamerica. Two unconnected yet related events illustrate the validity of our conclusions regarding the mystery of the African Olmecs. I wrote that they arrived with Thoth in Mesoamerica in 31 13 b.c. Confirmation came when, in 2000, in his book Leap of Faith, the astronaut Gordon Cooper described how an assignment took him to Mexico and his team stumbled on Olmec ruins. Government archaeologists were called in; “the age of the ruins,” he wrote, “was confirmed: 3000 b.c.” He joined me in a radio interview, in which the Olmec date of 3000 b.c. was reaffirmed. The enigma of the Bearded Ones—obvious Near Eastern people remains, but the evidence for their presence in Mayan times is over- whelming. Perhaps it was they who brought back to the Mediterranean lands the tales about Atlantis. If so, the legend of Atlantis may well be one more echo of Mankind’s memories—as this book is. Zecharia Sitchin New York, October 2006 FOREWORD In the annals of Europe the discovery of the New World bears the imprint of El Dorado — the relentless search for gold. But little did the conquistadores realize that they were only replay- ing a search, on Earth and in these new lands, that had taken place eons earlier! Buried under the records and tales of avarice, plunder, and wanton destruction that the newly found riches had triggered, there is also evidence in the chronicles of that time of how be- wildered the Europeans had been to come upon civilizations that were so akin to those of the Old World: kingdoms and royal courts, cities and sacred precincts, art and poetry, sky-high tem- ples, priests — and the symbol of the cross and a belief in a Cre- ator of All. Last but not least, there were the legends of white and bearded gods who had left but did promise to return. The mysteries and enigmas of the Maya, the Aztecs, the Incas, and their predecessors that puzzled the conquistadores still baffle scholar and layman alike five centuries later. How, when, and why did such great civilizations arise in the New World, and is it mere coincidence that the more that is known about them, the more they appear to have been molded after the civilizations of the ancient Near East? It is our contention that the answers can be found only by accepting as fact, not as myth, the presence on Earth of the Anunnaki, “Those Who From Heaven to Earth Came.” This book offers the evidence. 1 — 1 EL DORADO Nowadays Toledo is a quiet provincial city situated about an hour’s drive south of Madrid; yet hardly does a visitor to Spain miss seeing it, for within its walls there have been preserved the monuments of diverse cultures and the lessons of history. Its beginnings, local legends tell, go back two millennia be- fore the Christian era and its foundation is attributed to the biblical descendants of Noah. Its name, many hold, comes from the Hebrew Toledoth (“Generational Histories”); its olden homes and magnificent houses of worship bear witness to the Christianization of Spain — the rise and fall of the Moors and their Moslem dominion and the uprooting of the splendid Jew- ish heritage. For Toledo, for Spain, and for all other lands, 1492 was a pivotal year, for a triple history was made therein. All three events took place in Spain, a land geographically known as “Iberia”— a name for which the only explanation can be found in the term Ibri (“Hebrew”) by which its earliest settlers might have been known. Having lost the greater part of Iberia to the Moslems, the warring splintered kingdoms in the peninsula saw their first major union when Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile married in 1469. Within ten years of the union they launched a military campaign to roll back the Moors and bring Spain under the banner of Catholicism; in January 1492 the Moors were decisively defeated with the fall of Granada, and Spain was made a Christian land. In March of that same year, the king and queen signed an edict for the expulsion from Spain, by July 31 of that year, of all Jews who would not convert to Christianity by that time. And on August 3 of that same year, Christopher Columbus—Cristobal Colon to the Spaniards sailed under the Spanish flag to find a western route to India. He sighted land on October 12, 1492. He returned to Spain in January 1493. As proof of his success he brought back four 3 4 THE LOST REALMS “Indians”; as corroboration of his contention that a larger, sec- ond expedition under his command was justified, he brought with him a collection of golden trinkets obtained from the na- tives and tales of a city, a golden city, where the people wore golden bracelets on their arms and legs and adorned their necks and ears and noses with gold, all this gold coming from a fabu- lous mine near that city.

    History of Science Society Annual Meeting San Diego, California 15-18 November 2012 Session Abstracts Alphabetized by Session Title. Abstracts only available for organized sessions. Agricultural Sciences in Modern East Asia Abstract: Agriculture has more significance than the production of capital along. The cultivation of rice by men and the weaving of silk by women have been long regarded as the two foundational pillars of the civilization. However, agricultural activities in East Asia, having been built around such iconic relationships, came under great questioning and processes of negation during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as people began to embrace Western science and technology in order to survive. And yet, amongst many sub-disciplines of science and technology, a particular vein of agricultural science emerged out of technological and scientific practices of agriculture in ways that were integral to East Asian governance and political economy. What did it mean for indigenous people to learn and practice new agricultural sciences in their respective contexts? With this border-crossing theme, this panel seeks to identify and question the commonalities and differences in the political complication of agricultural sciences in modern East Asia. Lavelle’s paper explores that agricultural experimentation practiced by Qing agrarian scholars circulated new ideas to wider audience, regardless of literacy. Onaga’s paper traces Japanese sericultural scientists who adapted hybridization science to the Japanese context at the turn of the twentieth century. Lee’s paper investigates Chinese agricultural scientists’ efforts to deal with the question of rice quality in the 1930s. American Motherhood at the Intersection of Nature and Science, 1945-1975 Abstract: This panel explores how scientific and popular ideas about “the natural” and motherhood have impacted the construction and experience of maternal identities and practices in 20th century America.

  • El Llegat Dels Germans Grimm En El Segle Xxi: Del Paper a La Pantalla Emili Samper Prunera Universitat Rovira I Virgili [email protected]
    El llegat dels germans Grimm en el segle xxi: del paper a la pantalla Emili Samper Prunera Universitat Rovira i Virgili [email protected] Resum Les rondalles que els germans Grimm van recollir als Kinder- und Hausmärchen han traspassat la frontera del paper amb nombroses adaptacions literàries, cinema- togràfiques o televisives. La pel·lícula The brothers Grimm (2005), de Terry Gilli- am, i la primera temporada de la sèrie Grimm (2011-2012), de la cadena NBC, són dos mostres recents d’obres audiovisuals que han agafat les rondalles dels Grimm com a base per elaborar la seva ficció. En aquest article s’analitza el tractament de les rondalles que apareixen en totes dues obres (tenint en compte un precedent de 1962, The wonderful world of the Brothers Grimm), així com el rol que adopten els mateixos germans Grimm, que passen de creadors a convertir-se ells mateixos en personatges de ficció. Es recorre, d’aquesta manera, el camí invers al que han realitzat els responsables d’aquestes adaptacions: de la pantalla (gran o petita) es torna al paper, mostrant quines són les rondalles dels Grimm que s’han adaptat i de quina manera s’ha dut a terme aquesta adaptació. Paraules clau Grimm, Kinder- und Hausmärchen, The brothers Grimm, Terry Gilliam, rondalla Summary The tales that the Grimm brothers collected in their Kinder- und Hausmärchen have gone beyond the confines of paper with numerous literary, cinematographic and TV adaptations. The film The Brothers Grimm (2005), by Terry Gilliam, and the first season of the series Grimm (2011–2012), produced by the NBC network, are two recent examples of audiovisual productions that have taken the Grimm brothers’ tales as a base on which to create their fiction.

Venus’s 1874 transit across the sun was seen as the best opportunity for ending decades of debate. However, a mysterious “black drop” that appeared between Venus and the sun and individual differences in observations of the phenomenon brought traditional methods into disrepute. To combat these difficulties, the astronomer Jules Janssen devised a controversial new instrument, the “photographic revolver,” that photographed Venus at regular intervals. Another solution came from phys- icists, who rivaled the astronomers’ dominance in precision measurements by deducing the solar parallax from physical measurements of the speed of light.

In Greifswald und Berlin aufgewachsen (das Photo zeigt ihn mit seinen Eltern und der Schwester Marle- ne), musste er nach dem Abitur auf Drängen seiner Eltern eine Banklehre beginnen. "Ich träumte nur noch von Nummern. Daran bin ich fast zugrunde gegangen," notierte Hans Helfritz 1990 in seiner Autobiographie Neugier trieb mich um die Welt. Er brach die Lehre nach kurzer Zeit wieder ab und durfte in Berlin ein Musikstudium beginnen, das er mit verschiedenen Jobs selbst finanzierte. Da die Familie nicht vermögend war, war Helfritz gezwungen es mit verschiede- nen Jobs selbst zu finanzieren. STUDIUM on 1926 bis 1929 studierte Hans Helfritz Kontrabass und Komposition an V der Hochschule für Musik in Berlin, unter anderem bei Paul Hindemith, und vergleichende Musikwissenschaft bei Prof. Erich von Hornbostel. Daneben entwickelte er bereits eine rege vielfältige Tätigkeit, bei der er - so wie in seinem späteren Leben - persönliche Interessen mit Arbeit zu verbinden verstand. Er war Stummfilmbegleiter im Kino und verdiente sich auch als Sta- tist in der Staatsoper seinen Lebensunterhalt. Die Arbeit als Korrepetitor im Tanzstudio der Vera Skoronel und Berte Trümpy führte zu ersten Kompositions- aufträgen, wie die 1930 entstandene Ballettmusik Der Kreuzzug der Maschinen (verschollen).

Symbolisme La planète Vénus doit son nom à la déesse de l'amour et de la beauté dans la mythologie romaine, Vénus, qui a pour équivalent Aphrodite dans la mythologie grecque. Cythère étant une épiclèse homérique d'Aphrodite, l'adjectif « cythérien » ou « cythéréen » est parfois utilisé en astronomie (notamment dans astéroïde cythérocroiseur) ou en science-fiction (les Cythériens, une race de Star Trek). Par extension, on parle d'un Vénus à propos d'une très belle femme; de manière générale, il existe en français un lexique très développé mêlant Vénus au thème de l'amour ou du plaisir charnel. L'adjectif « vénusien » a remplacé « vénérien » qui a une connotation moderne péjorative, d'origine médicale. Les cultures chinoise, coréenne, japonaise et vietnamienne désignent Vénus sous le nom d'« étoile d'or », et utilisent les mêmes caractères (jīnxīng en hanyu, pinyin en hiragana, kinsei en romaji, geumseong en hangeul), selon la « théorie » des cinq éléments. Vénus était connue des civilisations mésoaméricaines; elle occupait une place importante dans leur conception du cosmos et du temps. Les Nahuas l'assimilaient au dieu Quetzalcoatl, et, plus précisément, à Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli (« étoile du matin »), dans sa phase ascendante et à Xolotl (« étoile du soir »), dans sa phase descendante.
