Its name derives from the pottery workshops of antiquity. The ancient cemetery of that name is one of the most significant burial grounds of ancient Greece. Over a hundred years ago, in July 1913, the excavation licence for the famous site was awarded to the Ger- man Archaeological Institute, which had been collaborating in investigations there for 40 years already. After all this time the necropolis still has surprises in store, as the latest discovery shows. The find is considered so sensational that it even occasioned a visit by the Greek Minister of Culture, Nikos Xydakis, accompanied by high-ranking ministerial colleagues.

  • Ancient Egyptian Dieties
    Ancient Egyptian Dieties Amun: When Amun’s city, Thebes, rose to power in the New Kingdom (1539-1070 B.C.), Amun became known as the “King of the Gods.” He was worshipped as the high god throughout Egypt. Able to take many shapes, Amun was sometimes shown as a ram or goose, but was usually shown in human form. He is fundamentally a Creator God and his name, Amun, means “The Hidden One.” Amun-Re: Originating in the Middle Kingdom, (2055 - 1650 B.C.), Amun-Re is a fusion of the Gods Amun and Re. He combined the invisible power of creation and the power visible in heat and light. Anubis: Usually represented as a black jackal, or as a human with a canine head, Anubis was a guardian of mummies, tombs, and cemeteries, as well as an escort of the deceased to the afterlife. Atum: According to the most ancient Egyptian creation myths, Atum is the creator of the world. He also brought the first gods Shu (air), Tefnut (water), Geb (earth), and Nut (sky) to Egypt. He is also god of the setting sun. Atum was represented in many forms such as a human, a human with the head of a ram, and a combination of an eel and a cobra. Bastet: Originating as early as Dynasty II (2820-2670 B.C.), Bastet was represented as a cat or a woman with a lioness’s head. She eventually became Egypt’s most important “cat goddess.” If Bastet took the form of a cat she was considered content, but if Bastet was a lioness she was considered an angry goddess.

  • The Religion of Ancient Palestine in the Light of Archaeology the God of Beth-Shan the Religion of Ancient Palestine in the Light of Archaeology
    THE SCHWEICH LECTURES ON BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 1925 THE RELIGION OF ANCIENT PALESTINE IN THE LIGHT OF ARCHAEOLOGY THE GOD OF BETH-SHAN THE RELIGION OF ANCIENT PALESTINE IN THE LIGHT OF ARCHAEOLOGY BY STANLEY A. COOK, M.A., LITT.D. FELLOW OF GONVILLE AND CAIUS COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY LECTURER IN HEBREW AND ARAMAIC THE SCHWEICH LECTURES OF THE BRITISH ACADEMY LONDON PUBLISHED FOR THE BRITISH ACADEMY BY HUMPHREY MILFORD, OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS AMEN HOUSE, E,C. 1930 OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS AMEN HOUSE, E.C. 4 LONDON EDINBURGH GLASGOW LEIPZIG NEW YOR~ TORONTO MELBOURNE CAPETOWN BOMBAY CALCUTTA MADRAS SHANGHAI HUMPHREY MILFORD PUBLISHER TO THE UNIVERSITY Printed in Great Britain PREFACE HE title and subject of this book will recall the in­ T auguration of the Schweich Lectures more than twenty years ago, when the late Samuel Rolles Driver gave an account of the contribution of archaeology and the monu­ ments to Biblical study. Modern Research as illustrating the Bible, the title of his lectures, was a subject to which that great and many-sided scholar felt himself closely drawn; and neither that book nor any of his other writings on the subject can be ignored to-day in spite of the time that has elapsed. For although much has been done, especially since the War, in adding to our knowledge of Oriental archaeo­ logy and in the discussion of problems arising therefrom, Dr. Driver performed lasting service, not only in opening up what to many readers was a new world, but also in setting forth, with his usual completeness and clearness, both the real significance of the new discoveries and the principles to be employed when the Biblical records and the 'external' evidence are inter-related.1 When, therefore, I was asked, in 1925, to deliver the Schweich Lectures, the suggestion that some account might be given of the work subsequent to 1908 encouraged the wish I had long entertained: to reconsider the religion of Palestine primarily and mainly from the point of view of archaeology.

  • 583 Cultural Codes of Ancient Cults in Chinese and Kazakh
    Cultural codes of ancient cults in Chinese and Kazakh phraseology Fatimabibi N. Daulet – Saule Anuar – Farida Orazakynkyzy – Aida A. Kenzhebayeva – Rauan O. Dossymbekova DOI: 10.18355/XL.2018.11.02.47 Abstract The article examines of phraseological units (PU) with cult components in the Chinese and Kazakh languages. The article is relevant because of the attempt to fill the gap in comparative linguistic studies of PUs in the Chinese and Kazakh languages in general and cult concepts in particular. Cross-linguistic comparison of Chinese and Kazakh phraseology suggests that cultural codes represent and shape the worldview and mentality of groups of people. The purpose of the study is to identify typological similarities and ethno-cultural specificity of PUs with cult components in the Chinese and Kazakh languages. The material of the study consists of 3,000 PUs with cult components in the Chinese and Kazakh languages. The author applies comparative structural, typological, historical and etymological methods to produce a scientifically novel study of PUs with cult components in the Chinese and Kazakh languages. The study describes structural, semantic and thematic groups of PUs with cult components in the Chinese and Kazakh languages to discern national and universal cultural codes. The article has theoretical significance for the study of cultural codes and their representation in Chinese and Kazakh linguistic systems. Key words: Chinese language, Kazakh language, linguistic worldview, spiritual cultural code, worship, cult, linguocultural studies Introduction According to V.A. Maslova (2001), phraseology not only reproduces the linguistic elements and features of national culture and mentality, but also shapes them. Embedded with cultural codes, phraseology makes up the mosaic of national culture.

W. ROLLESTON MYTHS & LEGENDS OF THE CELTIC RACE CONSTABLE - LONDON [8] British edition published by Constable and Company Limited, London First published 1911 by George G. Harrap & Co., London [9] PREFACE The Past may be forgotten, but it never dies. The elements which in the most remote times have entered into a nation's composition endure through all its history, and help to mould that history, and to stamp the character and genius of the people. The examination, therefore, of these elements, and the recognition, as far as possible, of the part they have actually contributed to the warp and weft of a nation's life, must be a matter of no small interest and importance to those who realise that the present is the child of the past, and the future of the present; who will not regard themselves, their kinsfolk, and their fellow-citizens as mere transitory phantoms, hurrying from darkness into darkness, but who know that, in them, a vast historic stream of national life is passing from its distant and mysterious origin towards a future which is largely conditioned by all the past wanderings of that human stream, but which is also, in no small degree, what they, by their courage, their patriotism, their knowledge, and their understanding, choose to make it.

  • Aizanoi Antik Kentinde Bulunan Graffitilerde Kopuz Ve Âşiklar
    Sanat Tarihi Dergisi Cilt/Volume: XXIII, Sayı/Number:1 Nisan/April 2014, 83-119 AİZANOİ ANTİK KENTİNDE BULUNAN GRAFFİTİLERDE KOPUZ VE ÂŞIKLAR Mustafa BEYAZIT Özet Günümüz Kütahya ilinin Çavdarhisar ilçe merkezinde bulunan Aizanoi antik kentindeki Zeus Tapınağı, Roma mimarisinin önemli eserlerinden biri olmakla kalmaz; aynı zamanda tapınağın günümüze ulaşabilen duvar yüzeylerinde bulunan graffitileriyle de geçmişten günümüze izler taşır. Graffitilerde bulunan kompozisyonlar, onları kazıyanların sosyo-kültürel hayatına dair ip uçlarını barındırmaktadır. Graffitilerin birçoğunun grup halinde yapılmış olması, yapım teknikleri ve birbirini takip eden kompozisyonları bunların aynı topluluk tarafından yapıldığını göstermektedir. Bu makalede, tapınak duvar yüzeylerine kazınan graffitilerden, kopuz ve âşık figürlerini barındıranlar ele alınmıştır. Çünkü bu figürler, buraya yerleşen boyun aynı zamanda geçmişten getirdiği inanç ve kültürel öğelerinin temsilcileri olup, Anadolu'nun Türkleşme dönemlerine ışık tutmaktadır. Bunun dışında, figürler üretildikleri toplumun içinden geçtikleri değişimlerin de birer göstergesi niteliğindedir. Figürlerin, tapınak yüzeyine ne zaman, kim tarafından ve nasıl kazındığı soruları üzerinde durulmuştur. Kompozisyon ve figürlerin, Anadolu ve Anadolu dışındaki kaya resimleriyle, graffitilerle bağlantısı, Türk kültürü ve sanatı içindeki yeri, önemi bu makale kapsamında irdelenmiştir.
