UNIVERSITÉ DU SYMBOLE : Dédale e Icare L’organisation psychique de l’homme s’enracine aujourd’hui encore dans le vieux fond mythologique gréco-romain. Ainsi en est-il du mythe d’Icare, cet adolescent qui incarna la fougue et l’utopie de la jeunesse pour, finalement, se brûler les ailes en tentant d’atteindre un inaccessible soleil. Or, en ces temps de bouleversements intenses, nous avons besoin des visionnaires icariens pour la mise en route d’un nouveau monde. C’est dans cet esprit que nous allons revisiter cette histoire plurimillénaire : afin d’évaluer les conditions de réussite du jeune homme, ainsi que les pièges et les dangers qu’il rencontre nécessairement dans son aspiration à s’élever vers une nouvelle lumière. Mais commençons par rappeler les grandes lignes de l’histoire. Il y a très longtemps, Minos régnait sur la grande île de Crète. Dédale se rend donc à la convocation de la reine. La solution au problème, Minos va la demander une fois encore à Dédale. Reprenons un à un les éléments constitutifs du mythe.
Polish archaeologists in Sudan claim 'unique' human settlement discovery PR dla Zagranicy Nick Hodge 20.02.2013 14:32 Polish archaeologists working in Sudan have found remains of human settlements that appear to date back as far as 70,000 years. Photo: archeosudan.org If confirmed, the discovery in the Affad Basin of northern Sudan will challenge existing theories that our distant ancestors only began building permanent residences on leaving Africa and settling in Europe and Asia. “The Middle Palaeolithic discoveries in Affad are absolutely unique,” enthused Dr Marta Osypinska, one of the members of the team, in an interview with the Polish Press Agency (PAP). “Last season, we came across a few traces of a light wooden construction. The team will be cooperating at the site in the Nile Valley with academics from Oxford University, in a bid to further unravel the geological history of the area. More information on the project, which is funded by Poland's National Science Centre, can be found at web site archeosudan.org.

Le culte du vent chez les Indo-Européens | Albert Carnoy Il y a quelques ressemblances entre les dieux du vent et ceux du feu. Tous deux sont changeants, insaisissables, tous deux sont inspirateurs et bons artisans. De même qu’on lisait l’avenir dans le foyer, on le devinait dans la chanson des vents. De même que les flammes de l’âtre sont des âmes, le vent emporte les âmes à travers l’espace. D’autre part, le vent est le compagnon de l’orage et des eaux. Tels sont les caractères que l’on rencontre chez les dieux du vent et chez les divinités, soit issues des génies du vent, soit contaminées avec eux. Dans l’Inde, il est Vâyu ou Vâta (mots tirés de la même racine que le néerl. waaien, «venter»), l’inséparable compagnon d’Indra et de Parjanya. Rudra et les Maruts A côté de lui il y a les Maruts et il y a Rudra. Rudra réunit en lui la plupart des traits des Maruts. Il est impossible de ne pas être frappé par l’existence de nombreux traits communs entre Rudra et le dieu grec Apollon, sous sa forme la plus ancienne. Les Muses, déesses du vent Wodan
Sumerian Myths Sumerian civilization originated in what is now southern Iraq, just upriver from the mouths of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. "Civilization" in this context means a settled town or city-dwelling people who possess a stable agricultural technology (including domesticated animals) and have developed a hierarchical system of social classes (peasants, laborers, slaves, craftsmen [smiths, masons, carpenters, potters, etc.], farmers, fishermen, merchants, doctors, architects, priests and temple attendants, bureaucrats, scribes, advisers, priest-kings). Since the climate of southern Iraq is hot and dry, agriculture requires an extensive irrigation system of canals and dikes. Often, the Sumerians wrote as if their civilization (agricultural techniques, cities, classes of people) came first, and people later. (Why do you think they thought this way?)

Jag skrattade när jag såg den här hunden i kyrkan. Tills jag såg varför han var där. Mitt hjärta krossades. Det hör inte direkt till vanligheten att se en söt hund vara med på mässan varje söndag. Men Tommy är ingen vanlig hund. I den lilla staden San Donaci i Italien går hunden Tommy nästan varje dag till kyrkan och är med på mässan. Han sitter längst fram vid altaret och under hela mässan. Hunden Tommy är 7 år gammal och tillhörde Maria Margherita Lochi, 57 år. Mrs. Nu har hela byn adopterat Tommy och människorna i byn ger honom mat och kärlek varje dag.

Síla na Géige - Sheela na Gig and Sacred Space Síla na Géige is the Cailleach as Creator. She is the Hag of the winds and of winter, the Old Woman who lives in the stones. She is Sheelah with her branch, who strikes the ground with her stick to make the earth freeze, who washes her plaid in the whirlpool of Coire Bhreacain to bring the snow that covers the land. She is the crux point on the edge between life and death, between death and rebirth. She helps women give birth, and when it is time to die, she opens the door to the next world. Sheela (Irish: Síle) means Hag. The more obscure, Old Irish spelling, Síla means "cause or origin" and "both the seed and the ground in which it is planted." The Irish and Gaelic Cailleach also means Hag. As weather spirits, she and the Cailleachan raise the winds and bring storms as well as the change of seasons. At the spring equinox in Ireland, the rising sun illuminates the inner chamber at Sliabh na Caillí (Loughcrew), Ireland. The Hag overlooking the sea.
Top 25 Most Ancient Historical Photographs For times immemorial, people have tried to reproduce their surroundings into pictures of their own. They have used techniques of paintings, carving and sculpturing and for years images have been projected onto surfaces. Photography is the result of combining several technical discoveries. Long before the first photographs were made, Chinese and Greek philosophers described a pinole camera. But it was until Ibn – al – Haytham (965 – 1040) a Muslim scientist made significant contributions to the principles of optics and invented the camera obscura which is a prototype of today’s modern camera. While this early prototype may have had modest usage in its time, it was an important step in the evolution of the invention. 1.

51 pretty shocking facts that make things harder for every woman you have ever met. Laci Green: The rumors are true. What they've been saying about me. I have to come clean. I, Lacey Green, am a feminist. What? I'm a feminist because I was told the first time I had sex it would be painful and bloody. I'm a feminist because male orgasm in the movies is rated PG-13, while female orgasm is rated R. By the time the average woman reaches sixty years old, she will have made four hundred and fifty thousand dollars less than a man in the same exact position. Nevermind the fact that it was most likely a woman who pushed your body out of her vagina. I'm a feminist because representation, it matters! I'm a feminist because in every corner of the world, every day, women's bodies are used as a battleground in wars started by men. Male Voice: ...if they were coming out of my mouth. Laci Green: Most of all, I'm a feminist because I believe in gender equality. There may be small errors in this transcript.

Ancient Builders Created Monumental Structures that Altered Sound and Mind, Say Researchers Hal Saflieni Hypogeum on the island of Malta By Popular Archaeology The results of recent research suggests that ancient, or prehistoric, builders of the monumental structures found in such diverse places as Ireland, Malta, southern Turkey and Peru all have a peculiarly common characteristic — they may have been specially designed to conduct and manipulate sound to produce certain sensory effects. Beginning in 2008, a recent and ongoing study of the massive 6,000-year-old stone structure complex known as the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum on the island of Malta, for example, is producing some revelatory results. Researchers at the University of Malta are confirming the findings in an ongoing study. Inside Malta’s Hal-Saflieni Hypogeum. But the Hypogeum is not alone in its peculiar sound effects.

Progressive Punctuation 1000-year-old coins found in Northern Territory may rewrite Australian history | Space, Military and Medicine A find of 1000-year-old coins (not pictured) had led archaeologists to launch an expedition that may rewrite Australian history. Source: news.com.au REMEMBER when you were taught that Australia was discovered by James Cook in 1770 who promptly declared it "terra nullius" and claimed it for the British throne? Turns out that could be completely and utterly wrong. Five copper coins and a nearly 70-year-old map with an "X" might lead to a discovery that could rewrite Australia's history. Australian scientist Ian McIntosh, currently Professor of Anthropology at Indiana University in the US, is planning an expedition in July that has stirred up the archaeological community. The scientist wants to revisit the location where five coins were found in the Northern Territory in 1944 that have proven to be 1000 years old, opening up the possibility that seafarers from distant countries might have landed in Australia much earlier than what is currently believed. The coins proved to be 1000 years old.
