Bronze Age Scandinavians in North America
The author seeks to demonstrate that some oral traditions of the Algonquian peoples reveal a legacy of the European Bronze Age. According to Ojibwe beliefs, they once lived along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, and their migration inland was linked to a command from a higher power to settle where food grew in the water. This command to settle in a place or under circumstances that seem impossible belongs to a specific type of story, well-attest…
The cosmography and cosmology of Wang Chong in the light of Greek and Latin parallels
In his extensive work, the Lunheng Wang Chong (27–ca. 102) repeatedly criticizes the views of certain literati. We consider the possibility that some of the views of both the literati and the critic go back to Greek scientific and philosophical traditions. Various statements in the Lunheng have clear analogies in Greek and Latin texts. For instance, to illustrate the contrary motion of the sun and moon relative to the fixed stars Wang Chong compa…
Bronze Age Scandinavians in North America
Some of Peterborough petroglyphs in Ontario, Canada resemble Bronze Age Scandinavian petroglyphs. It turns out that the similarities are too specific to be explained by parallel development because of some common conceptions or to be attributed to circumpolar diffusion of rock art, and that the involvement of Scandinavian parallels clarifies some aspects of the North American images that remained obscure. It is essential that striking similaritie…
Cleomedes and Wang Chong on the Size of the Earth
In the works of Wang Chong and Cleomedes there are coinciding numerical parameters related to the determination of the size of the Earth. In Wang Chong, the numerical data appear partly arbitrary, partly insufficiently substantiated. In the corresponding passage of Cleomedes, the argument pretends to be scientific, but in fact turns out to be internally contradictory and almost illogical. Painstaking reconstruction of the reasonable core in Cleom…
The Villas of Pliny the Younger (Epist. 2. 17 and 5. 6) as a Humanistic Utopia
The descriptions of villas in the letters of Pliny the Younger display a kind of utopia. It is based on the ideal of an ennobled and pleasant life, in which sublime, literary pursuits occupy a key place. The realization of this ideal requires inspiring natural surroundings and a certain degree of cosiness, but not the usual luxuries of gilding, ivory, and expensive statues common to the Romans of Pliny’s circle. Pliny’s description of his villas …
Bronze Age Scandinavian Rock Carvings in the Light of the Ritual Associated with the Passage from Winter to Summer
The article attempts the interpretation of one of the image types of the Scandinavian rock carvings of the Bronze Age, namely, a Φ-like anthropomorphic figure on a ship. Based on the consideration of the images themselves, as well as their comparison with the ritual aspects of traditional European, in particular Swedish, seasonal festivals, on the one hand, and with Greek materials close in time, on the other hand, one can reliably conclude that …
Unfinished work of Thucydides
Thucydides' statement that he described the entire war up to the surrender of Athens (V, 26, 1) must be taken in strict accordance with his words. On the whole, his work was completed; all that remained was to fix, supplement, decorate. The fact that in the published version the text breaks off at the presentation of the events of 411 is due to the following circumstances. During his stay in Athens, where he returned in the early summer of 404 af…
Calendars of the Trundholm Sun Chariot
The article develops K. Randsborg’s idea, according to which the decorative elements of the Trundholm disc have the character of calendar symbols. When considering these elements in their structural and numerical groupings, astronomical and calendar significance is found for all belts of both sides of the disk, and the proposed interpretations are consistently contextual. One discloses on the right side of the disk an 8-year cycle connecting the …
The true date of Meton’s observation of the summer solstice
The date assigned to Meton’s highly reputed observation of the summer solstice in the Almagest implies June 27, 432 BC. Since the solstice took actually place a day later, such an inaccuracy presents a puzzle. It can be demonstrated, however, that Meton’s observation was in fact accurate, for he made it on June 28, 433 BC. This follows from adequate interpretation of chronological indications in Thucydides and finds support in various data of the…
Warrior’s Razor in Bronze Age Europe
Razors are frequently found in warrior graves of the later half of the second millennium BC in Scandinavia, central Europe, Italy and Greece. It is common to treat such razors as indicating a status and symbolizing an elite lifestyle. This view is justified, but it offers no explicit explanation of why the razor acquired such a role. It was repeatedly observed that razors are frequently found in the graves that contain a sword as well. It is furt…
Lycurgus, the Celestial Patron of Sparta
The ancient authors knew nothing certain about Spartan lawgiver Lycurgus save that he lost his eye (allegedly because of the opposition to his reforms). This small detail provides the best indication to the original character of Lycurgus. Greek, Indian, Iranian and other texts repeatedly mention the eye of a highest god, and there were Sumerian precedents for that. The idea of the eye of god was initially connected with the notion of the celestia…
New Cultural Elements of European Origin in the Dark Ages of Attica
The transformation of burial customs in Protogeometric Athens is to be related to the ancient tradition concerning the coming of the Ionians. The newcomers constituted a new elite in Athens and introduced several new institutions. Burial customs of the newcomers, as well as the types of their swords and their political and military institutions point to their European, especially Scandinavian, affiliation
