Marcos, refer now if you wish to Nostradomus thread. We were just discussing that. If you are also interested, that makes about six of us in just a few days, and we could hardly be talking of a more bizarrely obscure topic. I mean you REALLY have to look to even find this in interesting trivia lists. Anyway, to me it is extremely mentally exciting, and once I get into these studies wisdom seems to open a huge door and say, ah.....I've been waiting here for centuries, come on in. But, I'm quickly off in another direction, and I'm sure everyone else is too unless we were on a study grant and being paid to search it out. But, yes, language. I have H.G. Wells World Hist. I and II right here. He was the one perhaps who determined that all language came from a big unnamed trunk of a tree, and off the huge trunk he drew 3 big main branches,
HAMITIC (Ham) SEMETIC (ShEM) ARYAN (Japeth).
Why did Japeth get renamed Aryan? That's a puzzle piece.
Anyway, fascinating language tree. I found it following the history of Sioux indians in l830-90 and could figure out where they came from because NOTHING fit. Nothing.
After much research it all fits and seems to rewrite much known
"history". But of course, how could I ever know.
It would be much fun to discuss interesting things if the thread was protected from lurkers who simply came to attack all discussions because they involve a certain belief in God. It would be rather insane to study the diffusions of language which seems to directly parallel Noahs three sons if you in fact believed neither in Noah nor the God he was saved by. But, you might want to check Puddinheads posts recently on Nosty, as well. Several of us do want a thread where intelligent discussion is protected from off topic much like any seriuous stock thread is righteously protected. |
