The publication of the materials by J. and P. Korošec in 1969 opened the way to various cultural interpretations, the most recent of which is that by E. Leghissa in 2017: according to her the older phase (28th – 26th century BC), is characterised by pottery of the so-called Ljubljansko barje variant of the Vučedol Culture (redefinition of Phase Ig I after Korošec 1959 and of Late Vučedol period-Vučedol C after Dimitrijević 1979), while the younger one (26th century BC to 25th century BC) has been named Ljubljana Culture (redefinition of Phase Ig II of Korošec 1959 and of Alpine variant of the Ljubljana Culture of Dimitrijević 1979 and of Classical Ljubljana Culture of Govedarica 1989). This study stresses numerous similarities of the Slovenian materials with the pottery of contemporary central European cultures, especially of Somogyvár-Vinkovci and Makó- Kosihy-Čaka cultures, but also with the closer Italian Karst, as indicated already before by other scholars. To check hypotheses based on typological comparisons and try to determine the mechanisms of cultural interactions that connected more or less distant regions, destructive – X-ray diffraction and optical microscopy – and non-destructive analyses – X- ray computed microtomography and prompt gamma activation analysis – have been carried out thanks to the collaboration of an interdisciplinary international team. The Page 1 of 2 results obtained so far for the pottery materials attributed to the Ljubljana Culture will be presented at the EAA Conference in Budapest.

    Joshua's Long Day - Skip to the Long Version Joshua 10 10:12 "Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, sun stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, moon upon Ajalon. 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down a whole day. 10:14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel." NASA states on their web site: "According to the laws of physics, there are only two possible explanations for having the Sun stand still in the sky for a day: (1) the Earth would essentially have to stop spinning on its axis...for which there is no evidence. -or- (2) the Sun would have to start moving about in the solar system in a very specific way so that it appeared to us on our spinning Earth to be standing still. There is no evidence of this occurring either." The Sun standing still at noon for Joshua for a day may have been produced by God moving the Sun around the Earth. The history and the working model are given here. God may have moved the sun around the earth with earth's rotation to make the sun stand still in the sky.

Cooper The MARES Project, Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter, Stocker Road, Exeter, EX4 4ND, UK, [email protected] Abstract Written accounts and images created by foreign travellers on the Egyptian Nile over the past four centuries indicate the widespread use of rafts and floats for both local and long-distance Nile travel. Many of the materials employed are poor survivors in archaeological deposits, or are otherwise easily overlooked as components of river-craft: moreover, several of these raft types were built for a single season or journey, then dismantled. Well- preserved wooden boats belonging to the pharaonic élite have commanded the attention of maritime archaeologists of the Nile. But these traveller accounts alert us to a class of vessels not yet recognized in archaeological deposits, and which point to a humbler quotidian experience of Nile navigation than the royal ships of antiquity. Key words: Egypt, Nile, Boat, Raft, Navigation, Landscape. Introduction When it comes to the watercraft of the Egyptian Nile, scholarly and popular attention has so far been drawn powerfully towards high-status, wooden- hulled vessels of the Pharaonic period.

  • 1 IV)TEMPLES and PYRAMIDS Impressive Monuments Were
    IV)TEMPLES AND PYRAMIDS Impressive monuments were erected in the name of the kings, from monumental temples for the gods to the pyramids marking the burials of rulers. Temples had colossal dimensions and they were decorated with enormous columns. The most famous temples are those of Karnak and Luxor and that of Abu Simbel, in the south of the country. About eighty royal pyramids have been found in Egypt. The greatest of the Egyptian pyramids are those of the pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure at Giza. Khufu built the largest of the three, known as the Great Pyramid, in about 2500 BC. 1 Pyramids The first Egyptian tombs were known as mastabas. These were rectangular structures of brick or stone built over a grave. The mastaba was the most popular tomb in the Old Kingdom. In about 2650 BC King Djoser built a step pyramid. The step pyramid is a series of stone rectangulars, one built on top of the other. In the early 26th century BC King Snefru built the first smooth-sided pyramid, at Meidum, 30 miles south of Memphis. Pharaohs built pyramids in the Old Kingdom and in the Middle Kingdom, but later rulers abandoned them in favour of less noticeable rock-cut tombs. New Kingdom pharaohs built these tombs in the Valley of the Kings. To date 62 tombs have been identified including that of Tutankamon. Giza is the site of some of the most impressive ancient monuments in the world. The greatest Egyptian pyramid at Gizah was built over a period of 20 years. Perhaps as many as 100,000 men built the pyramid.

  • Walk to Jerusalem Spring Week 5 We Had Another Great Week This Week
    Walk to Jerusalem Spring Week 5 We had another great week this week. We had 53 participants and walked 1072.5 miles! The map below shows our progress through the end of week five (purple line). At the end of week four we had arrived at Zahedan, Iran, just over the border from Pakistan. On Monday, March 1, we proceeded to trek across Iran, hoping to arrive in Iraq by Sunday. I had no idea when I planned this tour last November that the Pope would be in Iraq when we arrived, nor was I certain we would reach Iraq in time to see him in person but we did! A note about Persians versus Arabs: Iranians view themselves as Persian, not Arabs. Persia at one point was one of the greatest empires of all time (see map on page 2). From this great culture we gained beautiful art seen in the masterful woven Persian carpets, melodic poetic verse, and modern algebra. It is referred to as an “ancient” empire, but, in fact, some Persian practices, such as equal rights for men and women and the abolishment of slavery, were way ahead of their time. The Persian Solar calendar is one of the world’s most accurate calendar systems. Persians come from Iran while Arabs come from the Arabia Peninsula. The fall Persia’s great dynasty to Islamic control occurred from 633-656 AD. Since that time surrounding Arab nations have forced the former power to repeatedly restructure, changing former Persia into present day Iran. But with history and culture this rich, it is to no surprise that Persians want to be distinguished from others including their Arab neighbors.

  • Languages by Date Before 1000 BC
    Languages by Date Before 1000 BC Further information: Bronze Age writing Writing first appeared in the Near East at the beginning of the 3rd millennium BC. A very limited number of languages are attested in the area from before the Bronze Age collapse and the rise of alphabetic writing: the Sumerian, Hurrian, Hattic and Elamite language isolates, Afro-Asiatic in the form of the Egyptian and Semitic languages and Indo-European (Anatolian languages and Mycenaean Greek). In East Asia towards the end of the second millennium BC, the Sino- Tibetan family was represented by Old Chinese. There are also a number of undeciphered Bronze Age records: Proto-Elamite script and Linear Elamite the Indus script (claimed to record a "Harappan language") Cretan hieroglyphs and Linear A (encoding a possible "Minoan language")[3][4] the Cypro-Minoan syllabary[5] Earlier symbols, such as the Jiahu symbols, Vinča symbols and the marks on the Dispilio tablet, are believed to be proto-writing, rather than representations of language.

  • Sophiology As an Example of Integral Science and Education in the Slavonic Tradition
    SOPHIOLOGY AS AN EXAMPLE OF INTEGRAL SCIENCE AND EDUCATION IN THE SLAVONIC TRADITION Emil Páleš Received December 4 2014 - Revised February 12 2015 - Accepted February 20 2015 ABSTRACT Several thinkers among the Slavs and in the Orthodox East have been led by the vision of Sophia – integral wisdom. Sophiology is an effort to integrate different sources of knowl- edge: revelation, reason and sensory experience. Its intention is to overcome the split among the psychic components of the human personality, which is echoed in the split among social processes and institutions. Such effort is of importance for the education of independent and morally responsible (wo)men and for the renewal of society’s weakened fundamental values. Sophiology’s basic intuition is the unity of creation; nature and society are shaped by the same beings or principles that are manifested and also operate within the human soul. Thanks to this, one can understand the external world by drawing on one’s inner ex- perience and vice versa, and give meaning to things by means of all-pervading analogies. This epistemological presupposition has been all but abandoned recently as a relic of a romantic or even older medieval way of thinking. In Slovakia, this has been reflected in the argument within the Štúrovci group concerning the principle of spiritual vision, which played a vital role in its Slavonic science project. We shall demonstrate that knowledge of this kind is still possible. It is possible, for ex- ample, to understand and effectively predict cultural epochs in history from the sequence and contents of psychic configurations during the biographical development of an indi- vidual.

While the ice was melting and the climate was warming up, the reindeer and horses retreated to the north, and the mammoths disappeared. Forests spread, and those animals were replaced by red deer, wild pigs, and cattle. Dogs had already been domesticated for a few thousand years. Sedentary communities settled down in southwest Asia about a thousand years before wheat and barley were domesticated, supported by herds of wild sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs, which were all domesticated by 6000 BC. Women were probably responsible for learning how to cultivate plants, as they seemed to have done most of the plant gathering. Women also probably invented potting, spinning, and weaving. Men used to hunting probably took care of the herds and, after the plow was invented, castrated bulls to use oxen to pull plows and carts, though a Sumerian poem refers to a woman in the fields with the plow.
