16thb> Century Lutheran & Orthodox Dialogue

Thus, it is extremely noteworthy that a group of Lutheran theologians from the University of Tübingen in Germany during the last quarter of the sixteenth century would initiate a dialogue with and even seek approval from the Patriarch of Constantinople, leader of the Orthodox Christians under Ottoman oppression in the East.
It also would be naïve to suggest that theology alone was the driving force behind this sixteenth century correspondence.
Already by the sixteenth century language and culture was a barrier between the East and the West.

16thb> century Satanism - an imaginary religion

This form of Satanism was invented by the Roman Catholic Church in the 15th century CE, just prior to the time of the Witch burnings.
In the State of Utah, a newspaper poll during the 1990's showed that about 90% of adults believe in the existence of Satanic groups who abuse and kill infants.
The belief offered the neatest solution to the dilemma of theodicy -- the theological conflict caused by the presence of evil in the universe that was created by an all-loving, moral God.

Chinese and Westerns till the beginning of the 20th century - Comparison

Beginning with the Sheng Dynasty (in the 16thb> century BCE and lasting until the 11th century BCE) the king also served as the highest religious figurepriest.
At the end of the 18th century, the Chinese emperor, concerned that large families possessed so much power that they posed a threat to his throne, passed several laws meant to decrease their influence and to increase that of the smaller families.
He describes how, periodically, different families merged, and claims that alliances of family dynasties based around the family temple were not only not the sole form of alliances in China, but that they did not exist at all.

Hist. of Hydrog.

Century maps were in various forms, as the plane-chart, globe, and the sea atlas.
In this century also the science of hydrography that had been synonymous with and inseparable from navigation and nautical geography from ancient times was officially established on the Continent and in Britain.
Century, the surveying instruments plane-table, theodolite, level and range-finder were in use; and in the last half of the century the parallel-ruler and the station pointer were invented.

1650 BCE: Chaos and Catastrophe

For more than a century, it is believed, these "foreign invaders" dominated Egypt and established a new state in the northern part of the land, called the "Hyksos Kingdom".
Modern egyptologists conceived the stories of New Kingdom pharaohs and Manetho's writings and came to a conclusion which suggested Egypt had been invaded by some Asiatic tribes around 1640 BCE and a "Hyksos Kingdom" was established in Northern Egypt, with a new capital and foreign rulers.
While the orthodox Egyptology seemed keen on accepting the "invasion" theory, all the evidence suggested a very different and an obvious fact: Lower Egypt were attacked and plundered by some nomadic tribes around 1640 BCE but it had by no means been an "invasion" and there had never been a "Hyksos Kingdom".

Renaissance tragedy and investigator heroes

The twelfth century legend of Amleth which is recorded in Saxo Grammaticus's 'Historie Tragiques' and which probably is the source of Hamlet, clearly presents Amleth as an avenger who feigns madness in order to find out the secret of his father's murder.
From the late eighteenth century on, it ceased being presented on the stage as a terrifying figure and becomes a majestic figure before whom Hamlet kneels in reverence, ready to do his bidding.' This was also how other critics regarded it.
He feigns madness to use means of detection without being noticed - something that would definitely have aroused the suspicion of others if Hamlet had retained his own self.

About SA - History

Above all, even if South Africa were nowhere near collapse, either militarily or economically, several years of emergency rule and ruthless repression had clearly neither destroyed the structures of organised resistance, nor helped establish legitimacy for the Apartheid regime or its collaborators.
Once the extent of the reefs had been established, and deep-level mining had proved to be a viable investment, it was only a matter of time before Britain and its local representatives again found a pretext for war against the Boer republics of Transvaal and the Orange Free State.
But by the 1950s, which saw decolonisation and a global backlash against racism gather pace, the country was dramatically opposed to world opinion on questions of human rights.

CDC - Megadrought and Megadeath in 16thb> Century Mexico

The native population collapse in 16thb> century Mexico was a demographic catastrophe with one of the highest death rates in history.
Tree-ring evidence, reconstructed rainfall over Durango, Mexico during the 16thb> century (6), adds support to the hypothesis that unusual climatic conditions may have interacted with host-population dynamics and the cocoliztli virus to aggravate the epidemics of 1545 and 1576.
The scenario for the climatic, ecologic, and sociologic mediation of the 16thb>-century cocoliztli epidemics is reminiscent of the rodent population dynamics involved in the outbreak of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome caused by Sin Nombre Virus on the Colorado Plateau in 1993 (8,9).

The Origins of the Inquisition in 15th Century Spain (review)

Thus began a century of conflict between Jews and non-Jews that culminated in the mass expulsion of all Jews from Spain in 1492.
Crypto-Judaism was a phenomenon as early as the fifth century BC, during a Zoroastrian persecution in Persia, and it occurred sporadically in Muslim societies (including Muslim Spain under the Almohades in the 12th century) as well as in Christian societies (including Christian Spain under the Visigoths in the seventh century).
In consequence, in the middle of the 15th century (and no doubt in many cases even later) the great majority of the New Christians in Spain had not yet shaken off the shadow of their past; and the result of this fact was the consciousness of their "otherness" that determined the attitude of their neighbors...

[YEAR-END REVIEW]Political forces undergo changes

The year 2004 was a traumatic period for the Korean public as it was often left agape by unprecedented and shocking incidents in the political and diplomatic arenas - from parliament's impeachment of President Roh Moo-hyun to the beheading of a Korean hostage in Iraq by Islamic insurgents.
Another major blow for the Roh administration was in July when South Korean translator Kim Sun-il was kidnapped and later killed by Islamic insurgents in Iraq after the government refused to accept their demand to withdraw Seoul's plan to deploy troops in the postwar country.

Tarot Magick in the 16thb> Century

It seems to me as well that attention should now be focused on the 16thb> century (and perhaps earlier) in answering questions concerning the origin of alternative uses of playing cards and Tarot.
So, again, it appears that a non-gaming usage of Tarot has not yet been confirmed for dates earlier than the mid-18th century, at least not in the more scholarly works devoted to the history of the deck(s).
There is certainly some evidence that Tarot was used in ways other than for gaming prior to the 18th century, but these are generally dismissed by skeptics as "light-hearted" and thus of no consequence.
