“Edebi” Acrobat, Edebiyat ve Sümerler

Duayen Sümerolog Samuel Noah Kramer’ın popüler kitaplarıyla gayet net bir şekilde ortaya koyduğu gibi bugünkü insan medeniyeti dinden edebiyata, yazıdan tekerleğe bir çok şeyi (ve/veya onların yaygınlaşmasını) kadim Sümer medeniyetine borçludur[1]. Nuh tufanından ve onun kahramanından (bizde Hz. Nuh, Sümerlerde Ziusudra, Babillilerde Utnapiştim olarak bilinen) bahseden Sümer mitolojisidir [2]. Yetiştirdikleri hububatın hesabını tutabilmek icin yazıyı bulan, kullandıkları tarlaları doğru bölüştürmek için geometrinin temellerini atanlar da Sümerler ve onların yakın mirasçıları Babillilerdir. Bugün hala bir çemberin derecesel çevresini ifade etmek için kullandığımız “360 derece” kavramını, bir yılın içinde bulunan (12) ay sayısını yine Sümerlerden aldık.

What Muslims, Jews and Christians Got Wrong about the Forbidden Tree and Demons

This is an extract from a recent book by Dr. Serkan Zorba titled The Forbidden Tree and the Jinn: A Modern Interpretation . Dr. Zorba is Professor of Physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Whittier College, Whittier, California, USA. In his book Man’s Place in Nature, the prominent European philosopher of the early 20th century Max Scheler laments the lack of having a unified idea of what man is as follows [1]:  If we ask an educated person in the Western world what he means by the word “man,” three irreconcilable ways of thinking are apt to come into conflict in his mind. The first is the Jewish-Christian tradition of Adam and Eve, including creation, paradise and fall. The second is the Greek tradition in which, for the first time, man’s self-consciousness raised him to a unique place on the grounds that he is endowed with “reason.”. . . The third idea is that of modern science and genetic psychology, which also has a tradition of its own. According to this view, man i

The Aether problem of our age

According to the mainstream explanation, the dark matter is one hypothetical particle or another that interacts with itself either very weakly or not all, and that does not have any way of dumping its energy to other physical entities to form aggregates, and that bizarrely seems to interact with matter only gravitationally (weak interaction is not totally ruled out).  There is no stronger indication of a crisis of  historic proportions  in physics today than the twin problems of dark matter and dark energy.  In an effort to "explain away" the  increasing  number of associated problematic observations, mainstream cosmologists and astrophysicists are digging their heels either in the mire of the so-called Lambda-CDM model of the universe or in proposing yet more "aethereal" explanations. In my opinion, these problems have become the "aether problem" of our age. Here is the latest example of this game: The common plane of orbit of satellite galaxies around th
