Extractions: OPENING THOUGHTS ANCIENT SOLSTICE ARCHITECTURES A LINGUISTIC PUZZLE A FAMILY FERTILITY RITUAL ... THIS YEAR'S SOLSTICE The Earth is actually nearer the sun in January than it is in June by three million miles. Pretty much irrelevant to our planet. What causes the seasons is something completely different. The Earth leans slightly on its axis like a spinning top frozen in one off-kilter position. Astronomers have even pinpointed the precise angle of the tilt. It's 23 degrees and 27 minutes off the perpendicular to the plane of orbit. This planetary pose is what causes all the variety of our climate; all the drama and poetry of our seasons, since it determines how many hours and minutes each hemisphere receives precious sunlight. Most of us have known something about this since grade school. What fascinates me about it is how we figured it out in the first place, especially before the advent of satellites and space travel. I haven't studied astronomy enough to understand fully how we came to know this. The axis is, after all, an imaginary line. But here's an eloquent perspective on that question from a Candlegrove visitor.

Extractions: Religious belief and modern skepticism have been butting heads since the Enlightenment. Here's a case in, um, point: Is the ancient spear in the Imperial Treasury at Vienna's Hofburg Palace really the one that a Roman centurion used to pierce the side of the crucified Jesus Christ? Legend insists that it is, but science is doing its best to fact-check the story. Like the 51-cm relic itself — first mentioned in the Gospel of John — the tale of the Holy Lance, or Spear of Destiny, has been embellished over the ages. As one oft-quoted account has it: "Whomsoever claims this spear and solves its secrets holds the destiny of the world in his hands, for good or evil." But the story (told in a documentary

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The School Of Armagh The School of Armagh seems to have been the oldest, and down to the time of the AngloNorman invasion continued to be one of the most celebrated, of the ancient schools of Ireland. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01734a.htm

Z Christian doctrine for him, and then handed him over to one of his clerics to be instructed in the Ordo of the Mass and the administration of the sacraments. It was the very best thing that could be done at the time, but it was, of course, only a temporary expedient. Armagh was founded most probably in 457, that is, in the twenty-fifth year after the founding of Trim, as we are expressly told in the "Notes to Tirechan." We may fairly assume that one of the very first things Patrick did was to establish a school in connection with his own cathedral, for the training of the clergy, and no doubt he himself exercised a general supervision over the direction of the infant seminary. But he was now too old to teach in person, and so his coadjutor in Armagh would naturally be chief director of the Cathedral School. His first coadjutor, his nephew Sechnall, died about this time, or earlier, and Benignus, Irish secretary and psalm-singer to the saint, was chosen to succeed Sechnall in the office of coadjutor; so, we may fairly assume, he became the first rector of the School of Armagh. Benignus was admirably qualified for the office. There is some reason to think that his family belonged to the bardic order, and we know that he had been trained by Patrick in sacred learning from his early youth and was, moreover, well versed in the language and learning of his native land. Hence, we find that he was appointed secretary to the great Commission of Nine, which a few years before had been constituted for the purification of the

Extractions: the Difference By Chirag Badlani During a religious holiday of mine, my mother and I went to the store, Staples, to make color copies of a few Gods to give to our temple. On one of the pictures, there was a very religious Hindu symbol, resembling a Nazi swastika, yet the arms faced the opposite direction. When we went on line to pay for the copies, the people behind us, not noticing the differentiation between the two signs, starting talking to each other, saying that my mother and I were Nazis. Quite appalled, my mother turned around and calmly explained to them that it was not a Nazi symbol, that the symbol first belonged to many different cultures before the Nazis adopted it. She explained the religious meaning and the people behind us said they were sorry and stated, "Oh, I never knew that." I have realized that many people, not only in this country, but in the entire world, do not know about the meaning of the swastika and that it was not only the symbol of Nazi Germany. The swastika is an equilateral cross with arms bent at right angles, all in the same direction, usually the right, or clockwise. The swastika is a symbol of prosperity and good fortune and is widely dispersed in both the ancient and modern world. It originally represented the revolving sun, fire, or life. The word swastika is derived from the Sanskrit swastika which means, "conducive to well- being". The swastika was widely utilized in ancient Mesopotamian coinage as well as appearing in early Christian and Byzantium art, where it was known as the gammadion cross. The swastika also appeared in South and Central America, widely used in Mayan art during that time period.

Extractions: Introduction T he Indus Valley Civilization was one of the world's first great urban civilizations. It flourished in the vast river plains and adjacent regions in what are now Pakistan and western India. T he earliest cities became integrated into an extensive urban culture around 4,600 years ago and continued to dominate the region for at least 700 years, from 2600 to 1900 B.C. It was only in the 1920's that the buried cities and villages of the Indus valley were recognized by archaeologists as representing an undiscovered civilization. S outh Asia's first cities were established around 2600 B.C. in what is now Pakistan and western India ( Map 1 ). The peoples who built and ruled these cities belong to what archaeologists refer to as the Harappan Culture or Indus Civilization. This civilization developed at approximately the same time as the early city states of Egypt and Mesopotamia.

ZhangZhung Exploration of the ancient Bon Kingdom of Zhang Zhung. http://www.ligmincha.org/html/body_zhangzhung.html
Extractions: The recent discovery of a more than 1500 year-old kingdom in Tibet has taken the scientific community by surprise. Tibet, also called the Land of Snow, was incorporated into the People's Republic of China as a western province in 1959. With an average elevation of approximately 14,000 feet, Tibet covers more than 700,000 square miles, making it the highest and largest plateau on earth. While it is widely acknowledged that Tibet possessed a sophisticated 1200 year-old civilization based on Buddhist culture and thought, little was known about its antecedents. That has now changed with a series of startling discoveries made by the American explorer John Vincent Bellezza. Over the last decade, he has charted the remains of an ancient kingdom known as Zhang Zhung tucked away on the very highest reaches of the Tibetan plateau. Until Bellezza began his work in the early 1990s, very little had been documented about the Zhang Zhung Kingdom, located in the northwest of Tibet. Many legends about Zhang Zhung exist in the vast collections of Tibetan scriptures but, before Bellezza no one had used them to find what was actually on the ground. In consultation with the Tibetan religious specialists known as lamas, Bellezza carefully collected and translated the legends of Zhang Zhung, paying special attention to the geographic clues contained within them. He then began to systematically explore northwest Tibet, the highest and harshest part of the country, for any signs of the kingdom.

Extractions: Sacha Stern Author Information Contents Listing This comprehensive study of time, time-reckoning, and chronology in ancient Jewish sources demonstrates that the concept of time as an entity or a continuum was entirely absent from ancient Judaism. Reality and change were conceived in terms of concrete processes. This stands in contrast with the world-view of Graeco-Roman culture and its pervasive concept of chronos, but finds parallels in the cultures of the ancient Near East. Sacha Stern discusses these findings from a variety of historical and anthropological perspectives. AUTHOR INFORMATION Sacha Stern is Reader in Jewish Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. He studied ancient history at Oxford and social anthropology at University College London, before completing his D.Phil. in Jewish studies at Oxford.
