Kerala on the South West Coast of India had trade relations with Rome and Greece, how far back in history? According to Gibbon, "Decline and fall of the Roman Empire", Alaric the Goth asked for 3000 pounds of Kerala pepper as ransom to free the Fathers of Rome. Earlier Pliny complains about the large quantity of Roman coins flowing out of Rome to India in exchange for Pepper and Pearls of Kerala. Gold and Silver coins of Augustus Caesar, Tiberius, Hadrian, Nero are discovered in large quantities in Kerala even today, esp. near places like Parur and Palayur. Roman amphore and pottery have been found in Kerala and Pondicherry.There are some references perhaps in the Bible about Solomon having contacts with Kerala. Are there more concrete evidences for Roman and Greek contacts with Kerala?

I believe I have some ancient Christian/Judaic artifacts? My great uncle Bill, dead for many years, fought in First World War in the Palestine campaign and brought many souvenirs back, including numerous antiquities, some of which were quite valuable. His son Jack died a last year, and as he had no children and his wife had predeceased him he bequeathed me some of his father’s war loot. Two of the most interesting and puzzling items are a beautifully made large inlaid box with some kind of written script as part of the inlay, and a very ancient looking hand written book or codex which is written in a similar script. The codex is delicate but in quite good condition. Jack told me that his father said it had been originally obtained in a tightly sealed pottery jar, but was unaware what had become of the jar. Bill had referred to these to artefacts as the Jewish things, which is significant as they were obtained before the state of Israel existed, when there were very few Jews in Palestine. I forwarded some photographs of both items, including close-ups of the first few pages of the Codex’s text to an expert on Middle East languages, who identified the script as Aramaic, an almost extinct Semitic script and gave me an approximate translation of the text. The explanation of approximate is that there are not exact translations to English of some ancient Aramaic words and some of the phonetic sounds are not the same or unknown as Aramaic has no vowels. It is not obvious who the Codex is written by or who it is about but it appears to be refer to a difficult journey with a group of people and their leader, their leader is ill or injured and there are references to ‘the brothers’. The box is identified as an ossuary, a box for the storage of the bones of the dead, as per the custom of the Jews of the first century. The inscription on it translates as Josua, son of Yusef. Due to this inscription I believe that possibly have some very important early Christian artefacts. It is even possible that the ossuary is that of Jesus, as Jesus is a Greek form of the Hebrew Josua and Yusef is the ancient form of Joseph. However both names were extremely common amongst 1st century Jews. What should I do with these artefacts? I am nominally Christian and would not want to be the source of religious conflict. It is possible that the items are forgeries but this is unlikely as most forgery of Christian/Judaic artifacts in recent times has been after 1948. If they are as ancient as I believe, and that should be easy to date scientifically they are extremely valuable, but I am unsure if my ownership of them is valid. If they are Christian artefacts I would like them to be studied not disappear into a private collection or the Vatican cellars. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to get ripped off either, but the deciding what to do is beyond my experience and skills

What do you think about this? In Tel Megiddo, the inscription "to God Jesus Christ" dated 230 A.D. discovered? It was clearly indicated that the Christians who worshiped in the discovered hall were Roman soldiers. The inscription was located on a mosaic published by Israel's leading Greek epigraphist Leah Di Segni. This is the earliest inscription ever found in Israel, and perhaps anywhere that mentions Jesus Christ.!!!! The site was dated by a number of indications: pottery, coins, and the paleography of Greek inscriptions. For me this is exciting because it points to the longevity of belief in the Deity of Jesus Christ. I cite "Biblical Archaeology Review" March/April 2007 edition. A publication not devoted to Christianity or any other faith, but to archaeology. Very interesting, dont you agree? How does it make you feel that even the early Christians believed that Jesus Christ is God revealed in human form??? Dr. Gnos---read it for yourself, it is good objective archaeology, they will be the first to correct you if you say B.C. means before Christ. It means Before Chronological Era. The have no bias. Angel tre---Consider the account of the Roman Soldiers, who upon pain of death were ordered not to allow anyone to remove the body of Christ from the tomb? Bet they didnt go back to their superiors to report that His body was removed. Maggie I sent you an email. The second inscription, on the northern side, honors the man who paid for the mosaic and the artisan who made it: "Gaianus, also called Porphyrius. centurion, our brother, has made the pavement at his own expense as an act of liberality. Brutius carried out the work.." A Roman centurion or Roman officer was therefore the donor of the prayer hall. The Biblical Archaeology Review, relates to archaeology of the Biblical period. If you are looking for a Christian bias magazine, this is not the one for you. It is based on science, and archaeology alone. Basically they dont care if their conclusions offend you or not, just read the letters to the editor. I must admit I did not like it at first. But later I REALLY CAME TO APPRECIATE OBJECTIVITY WITHOUT BIAS. There I said it. Its better proof actually if it does come from an unbiased source. Geoffrey---The Mosaic picture I am looking at, does not have the Greek Characters you cite. There are some similarities, but some differences as well, what resource are you using? I would objectively like to review all other materials.

I don’t want to get ripped off either, but the deciding what to do is beyond my experience and skills. I don't know why anyone could assume I was trying to foll christians on the first question I have asked here. I did not send the items to the language expert only photographs. I don't know about museums some have very bad reputations. I cannot send the things back as I do not know where they came from, Syria, Jorden, Palestine, Lebanon and Israel are all possible but I believe my great uncle spent most of his war years in Syria and Damadcus was the centre of the Anitquities market then. If I send them to Arab Syria they could end up being dumped or sold

Islamic Empire influence the development of world history? I was wondering if you had any ideas or comments on how to start and write an essay that was assigned and is due on 12/15. Thanks: hERE IS THE ASSIGNMENT: Write a 5 paragraph essay that addresses the following question: How did the Islamic Empire influence the development of world history? Choose 3 areas of advancement and discuss their advancements in each area. Also explain how these advancements are important to our world today. SOME INFO: Culture of Traders The Arabs had been traders for centuries before their empire developed. Muhammad himself had been a trader. It is not surprising, then, that trade was important to Muslim culture. The empire was at the center of a world trade network that linked Europe, Asia, and Africa. India and China sent goods to ports in Syria and Egypt. As trade grew, other cultures increasingly demanded the quality goods that Muslims produced, such as textiles manufactured from silk, cotton, and wool, as well as beautiful woven tapestries and carpets. Muslims also made metal products from gold and silver. Steel swords from Damascus and from the Spanish city of Toledo became world famous. Luxuries such as jewelry, perfumes, and spices were in great demand. Muslim artisans produced pottery and glassware. Artisans in North Africa and Spain made fine leather goods. All this trade made the Islamic Empire wealthy. Muslims exchanged ideas with other cultures as well. Both Córdoba and Toledo in Spain were famous centers of learning. Christian and Jewish scholars carried Muslim ideas from Spain into western Europe. Sicily under the Muslims was known for its astronomers and geographers. They, too, influenced Europeans. Many Europeans, in fact, viewed the Muslim world as a source of advanced knowledge in many scientific areas and in banking and commerce. Government and Society Under Arab rule, the Muslim Empire was organized into provinces. At first one caliph headed the government. Disagreement over succession to the position developed, however. In time, these disputes led to the breakup of the empire into three areas, or caliphates. The caliphates were ruled by caliphs in Baghdad, Cairo, and Córdoba. Muslims throughout the Islamic Empire lived according to the Qur'an. It guided both their religious life and daily life—there was no separation. The Qur'an gave detailed instructions about how society should be organized and how people should live. All Muslims were expected to follow the Islamic laws in public and private life. Slavery was common in Arabia. The Qur'an urged Muslims to free their slaves. Those who chose to keep slaves were required to treat them humanely. No free Muslim could be enslaved, and the children of a female slave and her master were free. The family was the core of Muslim daily life. Muslims showed concern for all members of their family—parents, children, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. They particularly respected the elderly. In Islamic families everyone had specific roles and duties. Men were responsible for the family's needs. Parents usually arranged marriages for their children. However, the Qur'an gave a woman the right to refuse the arrangement. The groom was required to give his bride a marriage gift of property or money. It was common in Arabia for a man to have several wives. The Qur'an restricted a Muslim man to four wives, and he had to treat them equally. In fact, the Qur'an gave women more rights than they had received under traditional Arab law. For example, if a woman got divorced, she kept her own money and was free to remarry. She could also inherit money and own property. Muslim women enjoyed more freedom than most women at the time. Later, however, women began to be secluded and lost some rights. The government supported schools and libraries. The family and the mosque also took responsibility for education. A person who could speak and write well was thought to be educated. Students attended religious study groups at the mosque. Advanced students could attend schools established for the study of science, mathematics, or law. Medicine. Some of the most important contributions that Muslims made were to medical science. They studied the work of the famous Greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen. Then they added to what the Greeks had done. Scientific advances in the use of herbs, foods, and prepared drugs added to the Islamic world's vast store of medical knowledge. Some of this early Muslim work in the development and preparation of pharmaceutical drugs is still in use today. In some cases, techniques such as distillation that were first used by Muslim scientists to prepare medical drugs are also followed by today's manufacturers. Muslim doctors achieved great progress in the techniques of dissection to study anatomy. They also developed improved surgical instruments and processes. The Muslim surgeon Abu al-Qasim, for example, practiced in Islamic Spain, in the city of Córdoba. His work did much to

Art help 10 pts !!!!!!!!!? 1) The Etruscans were respected as excellent terra-cotta sculptors and were highly skilled in the firing of large clay images. 2) Danish pottery has been discovered from the period 2,000 BCE which has been incised on the surface and to emphasize this decoration, white chalk was rubbed into the lines. 3) Unlike the more sober Etruscans, the Greeks believed in a lively afterlife, where dancing and joyous activities were eternally practiced and this was seen on Greek tombs. 4) The She-Wolf could be described as a marriage of Etruscan and Roman art due to the stylized appearance of the wolf made by Etruscans and the realistic human twins added by Roman artists. 5) Akhenaten and his Family, which shows the Egyptian king and his wife Nefertiti, is an example of the type of sculpted surface called high relief. true or false

Media containing Greek Mythology figures.? Could anyone point out (a link on) an example of a specific type of media such as advertisement, literature (novel, poem, short story), movie, work of fine art (painting, sculpture, pottery), and song where Greek Mythology figures are involved? One example is the movie "The Titans". Are there any other examples? A link to the example might help a lot. Thank you for your help.
