PERSEPOLIS AND ANCIENT IRAN - AERIAL SURVEYS
Contains aerial photographs of excavations in progress in 1936, of sites under consideration at that time, and of other areas of Iran that were archaeologically unknown in 1936.
http://oi.uchicago.edu/OI/MUS/PA/IRAN/PAAI/PAAI_Surveys.html

Extractions: In 1935, when Mary-Helen Schmidt presented her husband, Professor Erich F. Schmidt, then field director of the Persepolis, Rayy, and Luristan expeditions, with an airplane for the purpose of aerial survey, she could not have made a more important and valuable contribution to archaeology. There had been pioneer work in aerial photography in the past, but this was the first time that a thorough and well-planned aerial survey exploration was to be undertaken on such a large scale. It was not until 7 August, 1935, when permission was finally granted, that the Aerial Survey Expedition under the directorship of Erich Schmidt could begin its work. Commenting on the many months of waiting and preparation, Schmidt writes: "There is no need to speak of our personal feelings, then and afterwards. Enough to say that happy satisfaction of accomplishment accompanied the immeasurable broadening of the scope of our work." The airplane, christened Friend of Iran, was flown by Lewin B. Barringer in 1935-36 and William G. Benn in 1937. Frederick Lillich was its mechanic and technical assistant. The photography was done by Erich Schmidt and his assistant Boris Dubensky. The aerial photographic operations were divided into three parts: (1) flights over excavations already in progress, such as Persepolis and Rayy; (2) aerial documentation and mapping of sites under consideration; and (3) reconnaissance and exploration flights over archaeologically unknown areas of Iran.

http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/ioa/backdirt/fall01/julia.html

Extractions: The author joins a marimba band in Antigua, Guatemala I have studied ancient Maya monumental art for the last eight years, Although the research is difficult, all efforts are rewarded with a vivid, active view of the human past. Performance is a significant part of social activity and ritual. Imagine the amount of time you spend listening to music, participating in or attending dances, enjoying literature, or participating in feasts. Such activities are integrated into every other aspect of life; yet, we know very little about performances in the past. Some of the research questions are: With no model to follow and few previous studies to use as examples, the intellectual challenges are irresistible. Instruments have been found at ancient Maya sites, including ceramic drums, ceramic flutes and ocarinas, conch shells, turtle carapaces that were hit with deer antlers, and rattles. Decorative elements from costumes and ornaments are frequently preserved. Architectural settings for performances still exist. Brilliantly painted murals and pottery provide examples of how these elements were used, yet they also tease us with reminders that we are missing a multitude of wooden instruments, textiles, feathers, as well as the sounds that were a part of the performances.

Ancient Civilization did not begin in what we think of as the West. It did not start in Paris or Berlin or London or Prague or Brussels or Stockholm. It grew out of the Mediterranean breezes, the sun and desert of Northern Africa, the Persian and West Asian lands. To study Ancient Civilization is to travel - across parts of Africa, southern Europe, the Middle East, and Asia to India. It is a linking voyage, not a reducing trip. It CONNECTS peoples, ideas, patterns, developments, organizations, wars, religions, art, architecture, food and drink. It is a human endeavor about a human story.

Extractions: Northern Tuscany, Italy The Upper and Middle valley of Serchio river, between Apuane Alps and Northern Appennines has been known for a long time because of the great number of Final Epigravettian and Mesolithic (Sauveterrian and Castelnovian) sites, but only recently the archaeological researches performed by Paolo Notini allowed us to recognize two Neolithic sites in Pieve Fosciana commune (LU) that have been excavated in 1995-1997. The first one is located in the site of Pian di Cerreto, the other one at Muraccio site and they are around two Km. far away from each other, at the top of an ancient river terrace; both of them have been heavily disturbed by ancient agricultural practices. The only structure left in Pian di Cerreto is an oblong cavity, around 40 cm. deep, dug in the yellowish sands and silts of the top of the terrace. The bottom of the cavity was of light reddish colour because of the fire action and the infilling was formed by a brownish soil very rich in charcoal fragments; stones were scanty and represented by river pebbles and sharp-edged sandstone blocks brought intentionally to the site.

Ephemeris Time And Ancient Numbers
Ephemeris time and ancient Numbers. Charles William Johnson. Eversince 1972, our world of time travels according to atomic clocks
http://www.earthmatrix.com/number/ephemeris_time_ancient.html

Extractions: Ephemeris Time and Ancient Numbers Charles William Johnson Ever since 1972, our world of time travels according to atomic clocks based upon the nine billion plus oscillations of the cesium atom in a second. Legally, we are on the cesium clock. Before that time was measured by ephemeris time, which essentially counted the number of seconds in a year; that is, in one of Earth's years. And, there are four such kinds of years according to the astronomers. Earth's different years are: -the tropical years (about 365.24 days) -the calendar year (365.24 days) -the sidereal year (about 365.26 days); the anomalistic year (365.26 days) The variations from one kind of year to another are slight variations in the number of seconds between their length. For example, based upon the times offered for each year, we have computed them as follows: Tropical Year days times 86400 seconds equals 31556925 seconds Calendar Year days times 86400 seconds equals 31556952 seconds Sidereal Year days times 86400 seconds equals 31558150 seconds Anomalistic Year times days 86400 seconds equals 31558433 sec These latter expressions represent the expression of Earth's years in ephemeris time, and were used previously in order to present a more precise image of the numbers relating to the different types of years regarding Earth's orbital time. The use of ephemeris time represented an enormous advancement in reckoning time in our modern-day societies and academic establishments. We are forever searching for my precise and exact renderings of the scientific data produced in our studies of Nature and matter-energy. The expression of the year in ephemeris time represented just such a case; much like the more recent effort of representing time in terms of an atomic clock with the "clicking" of the cesium atom. Obviously from the beat of one second per second in one year and the obtaining of numerical expressions such as
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hebron
An ancient royal city of Chanaan, famous in biblical history, especially at the time of the patriarchs and under David.
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07184a.htm

Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... H > Hebron A B C D ... Z An ancient royal city of Chanaan, famous in biblical history, especially at the time of the patriarchs and under David. During the Middle Ages BIBLICAL EPOCH Hebron is one of the earliest towns mentioned in history. According to the Bible (Num., xiii, 23) it was founded seven years before Zoan or Tanis, the most ancient town in Lower Egypt, which means that it existed from the first half of the third millennium B. C. Josephus (Bel. Jud., IV, ix, 7) says that in his time the town was already 2300 years old. It was originally called Kiriat Arba, or Kiriat- ha-Arba (D. V. Cariath-Arbe, Gen., xxiii, 2, xxxv, 27; Jos., xiv, 15, xv, 13, 54, xx, 7, xxi, 11; Judges, i, 10; II Esd., xi, 25) from the name of Arba, "the greatest among the Enacims" (Jos., xiv, 15). The Vulgate, taking the common name ha-adam in this last expression, i. e. the man, for the proper name Adam, translates as follows: "Adam the greatest among the Enacim was laid there"; whence it should not be inferred, as was the case with some ancient authors, that Hebron contains the tomb of the first man. The explanation of the name Kiriat-Arba by the Bible shows all others to be merely fanciful. Such, for instance, is that of St. Jerome (De locis et nominibus locorum Hebraicorum, s. v. Arbac, P. L., XXIII, 862; Ep. xlvi, P. L., XXII, 491; Ep. cviii, P. L. XXII, 886; Quest. in Gen., P. L., XXIII, 978) and of some Jewish commentators who take the word Arba to mean "four", and Kiriat-Arba to be the "town of the four", i. e. the four patriarchs buried in the cave of Machpelah: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to whom must be added, according to various opinions, either Adam, Caleb, Esau, or Joseph. According to de Saulcy (Voyage en Terre Sainte, I, 152) the name means "the town of the four quarters"; while it suits the modern town, this is not at all true of the ancient one. The Bible, however, insists over and over again on the true origin of the name: "Cariath-Arbe the father of Enac, which is Hebron" (Jos., xv, 13; xxi, 11). The name Hebron is also very ancient. It appears under the form
Reckoning Time: Ancient Day-Counts

Extractions: Reckoning Time: Ancient Day-Counts The subject of ancient reckoning of time and space can only be inferred from the logic of numbers, with very few exceptions of data in the historical record. Many historically significant numbers exist in the historical record of different ancient cultures. But, the method for computing those numerical results remains a theme of speculation. Many of the ancient Babylonian clay tablets that exist reflect specific mathematical and geometrical problems, much like a school textbook of today. However, notebooks of the scientists who computed the astronomical meandering of the bodies in our solar system have yet to be found.

Extractions: It is the one and only Wonder which does not require a description by early historians and poets. It is the one and only Wonder that does not need speculations concerning its appearance, size, and shape. It is the oldest, yet it is the only surviving of the Seven Ancient Wonders. It is the Great Pyramid of Giza. At the city of Giza, a necropolis of ancient Memphis, and today part of Greater Cairo Egypt Contrary to the common belief, only the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), not all three Great Pyramids , is on top of the list of Wonders. The monument was built by the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu of the Fourth Dynasty around the year 2560 BC to serve as a tomb when he dies. The tradition of pyramid building started in Ancient Egypt as a sophistication of the idea of a mastaba or "platform" covering the royal tomb. Later, several stacked mastabas were used. Early pyramids, such as the Step Pyramid of King Zoser (Djoser) at Saqqara by the famous Egyptian architect, Imhotep, illustrate this connection.
