Poema recitado na língua Scots:THE SHALDER'S PEEP



Poema escrito postado por  Glenn Muir no grupo do Facebook Scots Language Society/ Scots Leid Associe


THE SHALDER'S PEEP

Peep, peep, peep, peep, peep

Shrill in anger and desperation

Abune Grangemooth Centre
Swooping Shalder, herried by wicked gulls.
As they scour the level flatness
For rooftap egg or chick
Brawly they mob the lesser black-backs
Yet for aa thir ettle an thrawnness
The game is up
Nae hiding place for Shalder weans
Mither an faither, they seem tae weep
As they flutter awa aa fey an desolate
Peep, peep, peep, peep, peep."

Tribos aficanas com ligações genéticas com o povo Hebreu, comprovadas ou ainda em fase de testes de DNA.

Alguns artigos em inglês sobre os Lemba e os Igboos primeiros já testados geneticamente e confirmados como postadores de marcadores genéticos israelitas, o DNA dos Igbo estando ainda a ser testado no momento:


Obs.: Sobre a possível ligação dos Igbo com o povo israelita, há um artigo de 2010 de Alice C. Lindsley que achei bem interessante:

As linhas finais do artigo, resumindo sua visão sobre o assunto:

" ... Apparently the Igbo ancestors intermarried with the people of Nok to whom they were probably related by blood. This was before the time when we can speak of Arabs and Jews. Nok dominance existed for at least 1,000 years before the establishment of the royal city of Daura. (Read more about that here.)."

Mais alguns artigos sobre a ligação sobre a ligação dos Lemba com os israelitas e os testes genéticos feitos no DNA Igbo para confirmar a mesma ligação entre este outro povo africano:

Reflexão:
Todos os organismos têm uma memória epigenética e, nos humanos, ela se manifesta de várias formas complexas que apenas começam a ser descobertas por nossos cientistas.

Sem conhecermos nossas raízes mais profundas, sofreremos de uma eterna e não identificada saudade do que não chegamos sequer a conhecer ao nível consciente mas que, nem por isso, deixa de nos causar uma inquietante angústia do ser, pois trazemos em nossa complexa biologia as mesmas dores e alegrias de nossos ancestrais!

Sem nossas raízes mais profundas, perdemos toda a riqueza do enriquecimento da consciência acumulado por nossos ancestrais, assim como os subsídios necessários para entendermos aquela parte de nós mesmos que deles vem.

E o autoconhecimento, sem este aspecto, estará sempre incompleto, pois, no fundo, estaremos ainda alijados da camada mais profunda de nossa identidade, do proprio cerne desta última!

E eis os links que sempre posto em meu ativismo na web, sempre que surge a oportunidade, sobre o movimento iluminado do grande ativista Tsvi Misinai (dois destes vídeos estão links mais recentes, há outros no Youtube para os mesmos vídeos, de outros canais):

Os Anais de Senacherib em um PDF gratuito em inglês!

"The Annals of Sennacherib" by Daniel David Luckenbill, Ph.D.
Professor of Semitic Languages and Literature at the University of Chigago
https://oi.uchicago.edu/sites/oi.uchicago.edu/files/uploads/shared/docs/oip2.pdf
Meus agradecimentos ao gênio Larry Rogers por postar este link maravilhoso, uma verdadeira preciosidade cultural, no grupo do Facebook Any Language at All
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1446109112346520/permalink/1769097710047657/?comment_id=1769111686712926&reply_comment_id=1769113630046065&notif_t=group_comment&notif_id=1498332181785622

Descrição dos anais e observações valiosas sobre o texto e o seu contexto hisórico, gentilmente dadas por Larry Rogers:
 Larry Rogers wrote:
"Topic: Free online cuneiform bilingual discusses King Hezekiah of the Bible at great length. Bible. Neo-Assyrian Empire ( 911 - 605 BC). Akkadian language. Sennacherib's Annals. Also, some on Jewish holidays and Biblical persons as they relate to cuneiform.
<< The main account of Hezekiah's reign is found in 2 Kings 18–20, Isaiah 36–39, and 2 Chronicles 29–32 of the Hebrew Bible. Proverbs 25:1 mentions that it is a collection of King Solomon's proverbs that were "copied" "by the officials of King Hezekiah of Judah". His reign is also referred to in the books of the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, and Micah. The books of Hosea and Micah record that their prophecies were made during Hezekiah’s reign. >>

"The Annals of Sennacherib" by Luckenbill of the University of Chicago is one of the many free online documents hosted on U Chicago's website. They're a major source for free online documents in any language.
I read the introduction last night - it's from 1924 - and it's really riveting and shocking. I highly recommend it but warn you I know a bit about its time and place to understand it better than most. He makes shout outs to current events and American political theory and all sorts of stuff.
I'm going to take a risk here and include two comic book presentations of the events recounted in the Bible of King Hezekiah of Judea. He's pretty famous, I think, among people who read The Bible and comic book versions of it.
About the texts: Interesting spelling of Jerusalem.
Part of the big fun of texts like Behistun in cuneiform languages is that they make reference to super-famous and super-"arted" heros and adventures in The Bible.
So Purim (about mid-March) reminds of us of Queen Esther reminds us of the Persian Empire and its polyglotism.
The Nineveh of Jonah and Tobit remind us of the brutality of the Neo-Assyrian Empire.
Chanukkah (about December 10th) reminds us of The Books of Maccabees and the Greek Empire and a bit of Roman Empire. Which is out of the scope of cuneiform languages but the major Jewish holiday by celebration here in the USA, so worth mentioning here.
Daniel or his adventures doesn't have a major holiday but he probably learned Sumerian and Akkadian as part of his education and career under Neo-Babylonian, Neo-Assyrian, and Persian Empires.
... Other such histories of notable everyday people probably were written at the time of these Bible accounts ... but they haven't survived. We do get some idea from surviving letters, though, and there are some biographies that survive in tombs and such.
Pictures: Here's the neat parts from the work and also a comic book or graphic novel presentation of the Biblical events involving Sennacherib and Hezekiah and Jerusalem. Also, a famous poem excert from the famous and celebrated Lord Byron. And a dramatic woodblock print by Gustav Dore."

Desambiguação:
Fui pesquisar o documentário para tentar assisti-lo na web e notei que há um homônimo, de 1965, no famoso site Vimeo sobre o qual devemos alertar, para que os leitores não confundam as duas obras:
