 | | N&CPR Commenting on a reader's protest against ridiculing those who believe the 20th century has already begun, the editor points out (once again) that there is no evidence of a year 0 as the first year of the Christian era. | | | Four of these support the view that the new century begins in 1901, and one maintains that it began Jan. 1, 1900. | | | The article cites Hindenburg, who himself quotes Christian, Freiherr von Wolff and Johann Elert Bode in support of the view that the 20th century begins in 1901. |

| | Illiteracy in the Land of Israel in the first centuries c.e. |
| | Therefore, to speculate on the forces involved in illiteracy in the Land of Israel in the first centuries c.e., some processes taking place in contemporary societies, where changes in the illiteracy rate have been investigated, will be analyzed. | | | This cultural confrontation might be taken as a paradigm of a more ancient parallel: the encounter of Jews in the Land of Israel with Hellenism. | | | Now, there was undoubtedly a population growth among the Jews in the Land of Israel at that time. |

| | Islam and the Church - Fourteen Centuries of Jihad |
| | What distinguishes "fundamentalists" and "conservatives" from "ordinary" Muslims as far as reference to the "golden age" is concerned is that "the former blot out history in favor of the reactivation of the founding myth, while the latter accommodate themselves to the history of Muslim societies". | | | 17) In the 16th century the Turkish Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent (1520-1566), pressed jihad further into the Balkans and also against the remaining Christian strongholds in the Mediterranean Sea as he moved westward to conquer Malta in his grand design to invade Western Europe and subject it to the rule of Islam. | | | On September 11, 2001, a day that shall live in infamy, radical Muslims (1) seized four airplanes and smashed three of them into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in northern Virginia; the fourth crashed in southern Pennsylvania. |

| | The Prophecies of Nostradamus |
| | Although brought into Christianity, he never forgot his religious roots and these must be borne in mind when analysing any of his prophecies. | | | By 1555 he had published his first book of prophecies, incomplete, containing only the first three centuries and part of the fourth, but the prophecies became widely known and popular. | | | He stopped practising medicine and concentrated on his prophecies, drawing heavily from De Mysteriis Egyptorum, published in 1547, and he quotes it line for line in some of his own prophecies. |

| | Initial questions and conclusions were then circulated in the form of a discussion paper, published in Studies in Ancient Chronology volume 1 (1987). | | | Everything we found confirmed our suspicion that the original spanner in the works was the Egyptian time-scale, and that the 'centuries of darkness' inserted into the histories of so many areas between 1200 and 700 BC were largely illusory. | | | The idea of a radical shift in the chronology of this period is not entirely new. |
