http://www.q-mag.org Lauyan TOWeb en Tue, 3 Oct 2023 06:24:57 GMT I confess that my favorite among Gunnar Heinsohn's books has always been Die Vernichtung der Weisen Frauen, on the witch-hunts of the Renaissance, which he wrote together with Otto Steiger. It remains one of my regrets that the book has never been translated. I had Gunnar's book in mind last fall, when I translated from Alsatian into English and standard German the play by the Jewish-Alsatian poet Nathan Katz (1892-1981) S'Annele Balthasar, on the 1589 trial of a young peasant girl accused of witchcraft . I was in the middle of translating when Gunnar informed me of his illness. I sent him the finished translation in German and he appreciated it. He deemed it "liebevoll." We talked about it at some length when I last visited him in Gdansk in January, one month before his death. He was much interested in the original Alsatian language, and in its translation. There was a bold literary streak to Gunnar, not well known. As a young man, when Al de Grazia and I first knew him, he was, together with Chris Marx, an ardent fan of Arno Schmidt. I am bringing here Nathan Katz and my translation of his 1924 masterpiece, Annele Balthazar, to the English speaking public, wishing them godspeed!Anne-Marie de GraziaRead: Nathan Katz: Annele Balthasar (in English) also available in ​German (Deutsch).Nathan Katz by Henry Solveen http://www.q-mag.org/index.html#7MNzCUrF http://www.q-mag.org/index.html#7MNzCUrF On 21 July AD 365 a quake of magnitude ∼ 8 struck near Crete.

The bone fragment, from a French archaeological site, turned out to be a part of an early specialized bone tool used by a Neandertal before the first modern humans appeared in Europe. Used to smooth tough animal hides, the tools were made about 50,000 years ago by Neandertals. The specialized tools are still used today, in similar form, to smooth and refine leather made into high-end purses and jackets.Go to articles http://www.q-mag.org/index.html#m256amV5 http://www.q-mag.org/index.html#m256amV5 A hormone called progesterone is important for preparing the uterine lining for egg implantation and in maintaining the early stages of pregnancy.

This chronological assumption is contradicted by stratigraphy and art history. The first Islamic sacral buildings (Dome of the Rock; Al Aqsa) and administrative structures (Umayyad Palaces) are built in Jerusalem, which also becomes Islam's first Qibla (prayer direction). They stand hiatus-free directly upon ruins of AD 70, when Nabataeans, under the command of Rome's Titus, conquer the city. The first Islamic coins are also issued in Jerusalem. They continue 1st c. AD Nabataean designs. Symbolically, however, they become Jewish (Menorah) combined with Arabic lettering. All this happens in the Holy City because Islam emerges as a rescue operation for Judaism, which was eradicated in Jerusalem. Therefore, the Quran (5: 20/21) confirms what “Musa [Moses] said to his people: ‘O my people! Remember the favor of Allah to you, when He made prophets among you, made you kings, and gave you what He had not given to any other. […] Enter the holy land which Allah has assigned to you, and do not turn back and thus become losers’.” Stratigraphically, this occurs in the 8th century, because our global textbook chronology of the first millennium AD contains some 700 fictitious years.<br><br> http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohn-jerusalem-in-the-first-millennium-ad.html#QNpmBO7P http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohn-jerusalem-in-the-first-millennium-ad.html#QNpmBO7P Gunnar Heinsohn: Jerusalem in the First Millennium AD Wandering balls of light: earthquake lights in Alaska of a diameter of circa one meter (archival picture: 1972 or 1973)<br>Before the earth quakes, mysterious balls of light sometimes appear. Canadian scientists scrutinized this phenomenon of earthquake lights. Their explanations reach into the depths of the Earth’s crust.<br><br>Earthquake occasionally occur together with peculiar light phenomena - and may even announce themselves by way of such lights. In some cases, it appears that earthquake lights can appear weeks before any seismic shock, and at a distance of hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter, as Canadian geoscientists are now reporting in the magazine Seismological Research Letters. They are attempting to explain physically a phenomenon which has been controversial among scientists.<br><br>A team around Robert Thériault from the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Province of Québec has evaluated 65 cases of particularly well documented earthquake lights since the year 1600. Among them, there are four events which occurred in Germany: three of them go back to the middle of the 18th century in Karlsruhe, Aachen and Düren, the fourth case occurred in the late evening of November 16, 1911 near Ebingen, in the Swabian Jura.<br><br>A full 110 reports witness to the earthquake lights near Ebingen, some of them at a distance exceeding 100 kilometers from the epicenter of the 5.8 quake. Two eyewitnesses saw immediately prior to the quake a flash of lightning rise from the earth, which turned itself into a ball as it rose into the air and disappeared after a few seconds in the direction of Ebingen.<br><br>Fault lines can move electric charges along<br><br>Film records from Peru have also confirmed the mysterious phenomenon: when an earthquake of 8.0 intensity occurred in Pisco, a surveillance camera captured several flashes of light. Analysis later showed that the light phenomena coïncided with the seismic shocks. The 65 evaluated earthquakes ranged in force from 3.6 to 9.2.<br><br>The lights almost always appeared before or during the seismic shocks, only rarely afterwards. Particularly puzzling are the zones of the continental tectonic plates where the lights appeared most often: they happen mostly in areas in the middle of the plates - despite the fact that only around five percent of earthquakes occur there.<br><br>The researchers believe that deep lying, abrupt, vertical faults are an important prerequisite for the phenomenon of earthquake lights to occur. They were present in 97 percent of the evaluated events. Scientists surmise that, under extreme mechanical tension, an electric charge builds up and rises along these steep fissures all the way to the surface, where it charges molecules of air. In subduction zones, where the continental plates slide under each other, this does not happen, evidently due to the fact that the faults are not steep enough.<br><br>The lights remain a puzzle<br><br>At the occasion of the devastating earthquake which took place in 2009 in L’Aquila, in Italy, it seems that the lights even made it possible for one of the inhabitants to save his family. The man, according to report of the investigators, brought his family to safety outside the house after he had noticed the lights. "This is one of the rare confirmed reports in which earthquake lights have moved someone to proactive action," says Thériault. "Together with other clues evidencing change prior to seismic activity, earthquake lights could one day be helpful in predicting larger earthquakes."<br><br>Torsten Dahm, of the German Center for Geo Research in Potsdam (GFZ) judges this to be an interesting model for the phenomenon. Still, the presented explanation rests on a databse of a mere 65 earthquakes, most of which date back to the time before 1900 and are accordingly poorly documented. "Otherwise the database would be even smaller," says Dahm.<br><br>Moreover, the study is unable to explain why lights remain absent in most earthquakes. Such as on the occasion of later quakes in the Swabian Jura: in 1943 and 1978, two more quakes rattled the area, of an intensity similar to that of the Ebingen quake of 1911.

Because in the great rituals of the Bronze Age such beings are ritually put to death, rather then being themselves the recipients of sacrifices, our understanding of the gods becomes ever more blurred. (...)<br><br>The author feels himself committed, in his approach to sacrifice, to a decidedly conservative attitude. The retrospectively breathtaking audacity with which scholars, since the assertion of evolutionism, have stopped evaluating the subject matter of religious sacrifice, and have instead subjected them to their own bureaucratic principles, in order to then evacuate all the findings which did not match their expectations, this audacity the author could never make his own. The massive indications of overwhelming natural catastrophes which are so clearly to be seen in geological and archaeological layers (albeit only investigated in recent times), as well as in the written documents of the early high cultures, were packed into implausible constructs, turned into enigmas and allegories, ignored, ridiculed or at best - since the beginning of the 20th century - psychoanalyzed as the discharge of confused souls.<br><br>In the course of this book we will show that the soft evolutionism of the Lyell-Darwin school has succeeded in blocking scientific research and reflection in its depth for now well over a century and a half. In the 800-page final version of van der Leeuws Phenomenology of Religion (1956), which had its last edition in 1970, the terms “catastrophe,” or “cataclysm” simply do not occur at all. In this work, religious-historical Darwinism attained its summit. Practically everything which was fundamental for the understanding of ancient religions was passed over without a word.<br><br>The elucidation of myth, ritual and religion must now begin almost anew. For this we will need to take seriously once more especially the most shocking contents of the early religious texts. We will be holding them up therefore next to the no less catastrophically stamped finds of archaeology and estimate them anew in the light of the latter. It is well known that one advances often with the solution of an enigma - in this case, the sacrifice of celestial deities - only when one addresses it together with other enigmas from adjacent fields - in this case the geological and archaeological destruction layers, as well as the myths of cosmic revolutions of the ancient peoples. http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#oh4ONI9n http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#oh4ONI9n Gunnar Heinsohn The Creation of the Gods - Sacrifice as the Origin of Religion The Creation of the Gods (1)<br>​(in pdf) http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#aikMXaKW http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#aikMXaKW Gunnar Heinsohn The Creation of the Gods - Sacrifice as the Origin of Religion The Creation of the Gods (2)<br>​(in pdf) http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#0u6aXorG http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#0u6aXorG Gunnar Heinsohn The Creation of the Gods - Sacrifice as the Origin of Religion <br>​The Creation of the Gods (3)<br>(in pdf)<br> http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#Geuttmhz http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#Geuttmhz Gunnar Heinsohn The Creation of the Gods - Sacrifice as the Origin of Religion <br>​The Creation of the Gods (4)<br>(in pdf) http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#taOnexWP http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#taOnexWP Gunnar Heinsohn The Creation of the Gods - Sacrifice as the Origin of Religion <br>The Creation of the Gods (5)<br>(in pdf) http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#VTxzaA2Y http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#VTxzaA2Y Gunnar Heinsohn The Creation of the Gods - Sacrifice as the Origin of Religion The Creation of the Gods (6) <br>(in pdf) http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#W5UVuvNg http://www.q-mag.org/gunnar-heinsohnthe-creation-of-the-gods-sacrifice-as-the-origin-of-religion.html#W5UVuvNg Gunnar Heinsohn The Creation of the Gods - Sacrifice as the Origin of Religion <br>I.

Actually “nothing is known about Byzantine cities from the 7th to the 9th c. CE“ (Kirilov 2006, 181). Whilst the most powerful empire of the Early Middle Ages lacks any urban ambition, the Bulgarian newcomers boldly recreate huge Roman urban ensembles whilst the rest of Europe appears to haven fallen asleep in a dark age.

Then on our left we had the land of the Burgundians [Bornholm; GH], who have a king to themselves.

The Weissel is a very large river, and near it lie Witland and WEONODland" (King Alfred, The Geography of Europe, in Hakluyt 1893).

That devastation did not occur three times: in the 230s in Italy, in the 530s around Constantinople, and in the 930s in the Slavic Northeast (plus the Scandinavian Northwest and the Mesopotamian Southeast).
