Final words on Zion -- I found the "waymarker" reference via Strong's concordance. It's to a possibly related word TSEYUN, with a basic meaning "something conspicuous". According ... | |

Some of Velikovsky's arguments, including some of his better-known ones, are demonstrable tosh, but I find his location of the Chaldaeans ("the Chaldees") and their city, Ur, in northern Syr ... | |

Ah! How incredibly thick of me! I'd never thought of that! The Phoenician tin trade with Cornwall took place in the 17th Century AD, not the 4th BC, and the Greek historian Strabo was writing in--w ... | |
