Op/Ed: Ube ignus est?



My late mother said that phrase was all she remembered from her high school
Latin classes.



Other than several semesters of high school Spanish, all my language studies
have been "self-taught", and I had a poor teacher.



As an adult, my exposure to other languages has been limited only by
available time. I love to learn and languages are one of my passions. I
realize my fluency in any besides English is very limited, but I still both
love the challenge and believe that it is a courtesy to learn as much of a
native language as I can when I plan to visit a land with a tongue different
than my own. Learning before going would be great, but the "total immersion"
technique always demands results more than a simplistic, self-regulated
program.



A Norwegian friend of mine, now retired from a career in the Royal Norwegian
Navy, speaks about a dozen languages. When I asked him (in poorly structured
Nynorsk) where he learned all those, he replied (in perfect English) that he
knew a lot of foreign-born bartenders. After I visited his hometown of
Bergen, spent a couple hours with a Scottish-born bartender in an Irish pub
who had arrived by way of Sydney, Australia, I understood. I also enjoyed
watching reruns of Star Trek dubbed in German.



Port cities draw a lot of people from a lot of places. I'm sure that has
always been true. All those people brought their own languages and customs,
even if they adopted the local ones immediately upon arrival (When in
Rome...). That wasn't necessarily the case with the ancient Romans and
possibly not with some other explorers and conquerors. As an example, Latin
was the de facto language of Britain (and all the ancient Roman Empire) for
nearly four hundred years. Some traditions die hard, and languages die even
harder. More enduring even that languages are the alphabets, characters,
and symbols used to convey the languages in writing. Even though Latin is
considered a dead language, we still employ the Roman alphabet.



But what about all those tablets found that contain various recurring
symbols? Might they be a variation on the theme? The crossed circle,
swastika, wavy lines, doorway, and some other glyphs appear in tablets and
pictographs / petroglyphs in widely spread settings with regard to both
space and time. Might they be a throwback to a language, alphabet, and
empire much older and more widespread than even Rome? I have questions, not
answers.

Possum Holler News:





Stormy weather has prevailed here for several days. I exercised the
chainsaw and have an ample supply of green wood for the campfire next year.



Of course, that weather brought with it an ample amount of rain with which
to exacerbate the recurring flooding of the basement studios here. The
surrounding fields, already replanted once, will need it again.



Have to cut this short, Pat's making a peanut butter pie...

CALENDAR OF EVENTS
May 25th, 2:30PM AKHA Meeting at Marilyn Michael’s home
ROMANS ON THE RIVER: presented by Jamie Eiler

Emperor Claudius II is generally remembered for martyring St. Valentine.
Historically, he was set to attack Zenobia of Palmyra, when he died. His
descendant, Constantine, proclaimed by the Britannic Legions, would make
Christianity the state religion. Tracing Welsh lines, we find Old King Cole,
King Arthur and Admiral Madoc. But what of more recent discovery? What
artifacts from the banks of New Albany are in the vault at the Falls of the
Ohio? Between fantastic and prosaic, there may be a connection to that
colony of “White Indians.”

THE POINT OF BEGINNING : presented by Warner Sizemore



At a point in Ohio, the survey of America began after the Lewis and Clark
expedition. This little know fact has great historical importance. We will
see the marker and review the story of how it made it possible for
individuals to own property.








May 31st , 2 :00PM Falls of the Ohio MACHU PICCHU

Long after the sprawling Inca empire had been all but obliterated by
conquistadors in the 1500’s, legends persisted of a hidden mountain fortress
where the ancient glories of the Inca had been preserved. An inexperienced
young American academic believed the rumors might be true—and followed his
intuition to make one of the most astounding discoveries in modern
archaeology.

Determined to make his name as a world-class explorer, professor Hiram
Bingham traveled to Peru—and stalked his future on what, at the time was
nothing more than whispered gossip of a forgotten Inca ruin. Carving his
way up into the Andes, Bingham quickly made a discovery that would dumbfound
his scholarly peers, captivate the world and obsess Bingham himself for the
rest of his life: the architectural wonder of a perfectly preserved royal
Inca complex, undisturbed for half a millennium.

This film journeys back with Bingham as the young archaeologist catches the
first glimpse of his hard-won prize: the haunting 400-year-old enigma known
by the locals as Machu Picchu.
