Re: More Etymology!


Correction: the unfinished pillar in a quarry measures
seven by three meters, so it is one meter shorter than
I wrongly said, but it would still weigh fifty tons if freed
from the rock. - Ignoring Göbekli Tepe won't make it
go away. An anthropological congress held at Germany
in 1899 officially declared cave art being a swindle. Didn't
help. Cave art stayed, and revealed its importance. Also
Göbekli Tepe will stay and reveal its importance. Even
more important than Stonehenge, Klaus Schmidt believes.
All you can possibly achieve with your heavy ignoring and
killrating is becoming the laughing stock of a next generation.

Göbekli Tepe, best translated as bellied mountain, southeast
Anatolia, (Sanli-)Urfa region, just north of the Syrian Harran
plain, never was a settlement but is covered with at least
nineteen stone pillar temples which were built and in use
from 11 600 till 9 500 BP, whereupon they were carefully
filled up with rubble and thus preserved. A typical temple is
oval, confined by a wall, with T-shaped pillars standing along
the wall, and a pair of pillars marking the center. The largest
pillar, unfinished in a quarry, is eight meters long and would
weigh fifty tons if freed from the rock ! These are the oldest
temples we know of so far, and no humble beginnings of
stone architecture. Most pillars are decorated with reliefs
of animals, a vulture priest, a beheaded man, and some
abstract signs or hieroglyphs on the narrow sides of a few
pillars, namely a bukranium, a lunar sickle embracing a solar
circle (which became a most frequent symbol on later Meso-
potamian stelae), a standing H and a lying H ... Klaus Schmidt
assumes that Göbekli Tepe was the sacred Du-ku mountain
of Sumerian mythology, home of the very early Mesotpotamian
Anuna gods. Furthermore, he believes that the stone temples
of Göbekli Tepe were mortuary precincts comparable to the
Iranian twoers of silence, where bodies have been exposed
to vultures, whereupon the bared bones were deposited in
stone chists outside the temple area.

I propose a multiple use of the temples: as calendars,
as ceremonial places for the installement of rulers, and for
the deification of dead rulers: their bodies may have been
placed between the central pillars and were devoured by
birds, while their souls descended to the Underworld and
then ascended to the sky ... The hieroglyph of the standing
H with a hollow for the horizontal bar may represent a pair
of central pillars with a body lain in between, while the
horizontal bars of the lying H may represent earth and sky.
There are not only reliefs on pillars, there are also stone
sculptures, of animals, human heads, a human figure
carrying a head, and, unique piece, a large limestone ring
which, placed on a wall and looked through, makes one
see the deified king on the sky, ex negative, composed
of air and light ...Continuation

Using my Magdalenian approach I explain the hieroglyph
of the lying H and the unique limestone ring as follows:

AC --- expanse of land with water, earth, lower horizontal
bar of the lying H

CA --- sky, upper horizontal bar of the lying H

AC CA --- where the earth (ac) meets the sky (ca),
possible original name of Göbekli Tepe. The Egyptians
kept record of an (unknown) Syrian region called aqa.
AC CA would have been the origin of the name of the
Indo-European earth goddess akka, a stammered name
according to Pokorny, a meaningful name in my opinion.
The inverse form CA AC may survive in the Greek earth
goddess Gaia. The slim vetical bar of the lying H may
indicate connections between earth (ac) and sky (ca),
namely the smoke of a sacrificial fire, and the rain
implored by a sacrifice, the water falling from the sky
and filling the river beds on earth. Thus, AC CA would
also have been the origin of Latin aqua for water. A
drawing on a slab of the lion pillar temple shows a woman
with a hairdo in the shape of a mushroom evoking a rain
cloud, while her macrolabiae hint at the fertile water from
her womb: she may well be AC CA akka, CA AC Gaia,
goddess of earth and sky, provider of rain, patroness
of early agriculture that started in the late phase of
Göbekli Tepe, with large fields of breeded einkorn at
the base of the Karacadag, east-north-east of Göbekli
Tepe. And the early farmers of Göbekli Tepe needed
rain during the hot and dry summers ...

Göbekli Tepe never was a settlement, it was a religious
center of a wide area, visited by many pilgrims. By now
a moonlike landscape, it was a fertile region in former
times, with lush meadows, and game galore, heading
for the cool Anatolian hills in spring, and returning for the
warm Syrian plains in fall. The early dwellers of the region
were hunters and got plenty of meat. They maintained
an important flint industry and also worked on obsidian
from a near volcano. With the many pilgrims, Klaus Schmidt
believes, arose the necessity of agriculture: all those people
had to be nourished. We see here the transition from hunting
to farming. This transition may have happened at the same
time in Africa. An archaeologist from the university of Geneva
found 10,400 years old pottery sherds in a depth of fifteen
meters under ground in Mali, south of the Sahara ...

Now for the limestone ring at Göbekli Tepe:

AAR RAA --- air (aar) raa (light), would have surived
in the name of Haran Harran, in Ara the Beautiful from
Armenia, and in his Greek equivalent Er mentioned by
Plato at the end of book ten

AAR RAA AC CA --- air (aar) light (raa) earth (ac)
sky (ca), possible origin of Hebrew ruah with the
same range of meanings as Greek pneuma and
Latin spiritus, namely wind, breath, life, soul

AAR RAA NOS --- mind (nos) of the airy (aar) and
luminous (raa) one, deified ruler on the sky, seen ex
negativo through the limestone ring, composed of air
and light, possible origin of Ouranos, Greek god of
the sky, consort of Gaia

NOS AAR RAA --- he who follows the mind (nos) of
the deified former ruler on the sky, composed of air
(aar) and light (raa), possible origin of Noah. If so,
the Biblical Flood would have been a long rain that
caused a catastrophic flooding of the Harran plain
and made Noah leave for Armenia, where his son
Japhet took over ...

We are here in the presence of Japhetic, before
the separation into Semitic and Indo-European.
