Sumerian, Kartvelian, and Theory of Communication (RAI-59, Ghent, 2013)
Sumerian, Kartvelian, and Theory of Communication (RAI-59, Ghent, 2013)
The lecture focuses on the decisive role of Kartvelian languages played in the decipherment of the Sumerian language through the Theory of Communication. The analysis reveals Assyriology to be a simple receiver and not the destination, while Akkadian is shown to function as an ordinary transducer. Contrary to this, Sumerian and Kartvelian are related as a non-singular and inverse transducer elucidating the latter's (Kartvelian) function of the destination—the system targeted to receive encoded Sumerian information. Moreover, the Sumerian writing system belongs to perfect secrecy systems functioning as a normal, albeit defective language system for the receiver, but generating an infinite number of code messages together with their keys decipherable only by Kartvelian. Therefore, Sumerian will remain within the present hypothetical frame of reconstruction until Assyriologists realize the significance of Kartvelian as a destination language system, i.e. the system capable of restoring Sumerian.- published: 24 Aug 2013

The danger presented to Syria's archaeological sites
The danger presented to Syria's archaeological sites
Clemens Reichel cand. phil., Mesopotamian Archaeology, Assyriology & Classical Archaeology, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, 1989 M.A., Mesopotamian Archaeology, University of London, 1990 Ph. D., Mesopotamian Archaeology, University of Chicago, 2001 Dr. Reichel's research interests concentrate on complex societies and the evolution of urbanism. He has a comprehensive background in Sumerian and Akkadian, Mesopotamia's ancient languages written in cuneiform writing. His publications include studies on "text archaeology" (the archeological use of written sources), seals and clay sealings from the Diyala and Hamoukar excavations, aspects of divine kingship in Mesopotamia, and the current threat to Iraq's cultural heritage. Join the conversation December 10 on the crisis in Syria, with Stephen Cornish, executive director of Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in Canada, and Clemens Reichel, assistant professor of Mesopotamian archaeology at U of T, associate curator of Near Eastern Archaeology at the ROM and curator of the exhibition Mesopotamia: Inventing Our World. MSF runs hospitals and health centres in Syria and the surrounding countries, and Cornish recently returned from the region. He will talk about the ongoing catastrophe of the Syrian conflict -- more than 100,000 people killed, two million refugees and four million displaced inside the country. Reichel, who has been excavating in Syria for twenty years, will address the danger presented to Syria's archaeological sites, monuments and museum, and the threats to Syrian scholars and museum employees engaged in their protection.

Fukushima Ushers in AntiChrist & Lucifers Radiation Depopulation Agenda1.wmv
Malachi Martin foretold the coming of the AntiChrist, the methods of Radiation Depopulation and the zombie apocalypse during this time...This interview was in 1996 and bears a striking resemblance of what's happening now in Fukushima and soon to be happening at U.S Nuclear facilities here and around the world... To hear the entire 3 hr & 7 min interview go here: But I warn you, with or without faith...for me, it was bone chilling... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw9VAn8z4PE Father Malachi Martin was born in Kerry, Ireland on July 23, 1921. He was educated at Belvedere College, and entered the Society of Jesus in 1939. He studied at the National University where he took a bachelor's degree in Semitic languages and Oriental history with parallel studies in Assyriology at Trinity College. He held degrees in Philosophy, Theology, Semitic Languages, Archeology and Oriental History from the University of Louvain, Belgium. He was ordained to the priesthood on the Feast of the Assumption, August 15, 1954. Father Martin did parallel studies at Hebrew University, Jerusalem, and at Oxford University, specializing in intertestamentary studies and knowledge of Jesus as transmitted in Hebrew and Arabic manuscripts. Additional subjects of intense study for him during his formal education included rational psychology, experimental psychology, physics and anthropology. He did early and seminal work on the Dead Sea Scrolls, and published some two dozen articles on Semitic paleography in learned journals. The first of his 16 books was the two-volume work, The Scribal Character of the Dead Sea Scrolls. From 1958 until 1964 Malachi Martin served in Rome, where he was a close associate of, and carried out many sensitive missions for, the renowned Jesuit Cardinal Augustin Bea, and for Pope John XXIII. While in Rome he was also Professor at the Pontifical Biblical Institute of the Vatican, where he taught Hebrew, Aramaic, Paleography and Scripture. After twenty-five years as a Jesuit, Father Martin was released, at his own request by Paul VI from his vows of poverty and obedience in 1964. Following a brief stay in Paris, he moved to New York, where until his final illness and death, he continued his apostolic service as a priest to what became a vast and loyal national and international "congregation" of Catholics and non-Catholics. He amassed a decades-long record of critical and commercial success as the author of sixteen bestselling books, many of which have defied trends and fads to remain in print for ten or even twenty years or more. He wrote many articles and pamphlets, and recorded many audio tapes, and was widely sought after on television and radio as an authoritative commentator on Vatican affairs, and "one of the ten best media guests in the country."- published: 18 Dec 2013
