Remains alluding to the existence of an ancient ascent were discovered recently in the 'En Bokek survey at the southern Judean Desert. The ascent climbs from the channel of Nahal (Nahal = stream, wadi in Hebrew) Hemar, crosses the watershed divide towards Nahal Zohar, and continues to climb in the direction of 'Arad. The remains along the ascent's course date from the Early Bronze Age II-III (3050-2350 BC, henceforth EB II-III). The nature of the sites along the ascent, analyzed with consideration for their locations, suggests a management of a particular technology of power, exercised by an authority that controlled the traffic on the road. The purpose of this article is to describe the ascent and the technology of power perpetrated along its course during the EB II-III.

Severus of Antioch is by far the most prolific writer among the non-Chalcedonian - the so-called 'Monophysite Churches'. The book of the Confessions of the Fathers is an anonymous compilation of the eleventh century. It is a compilation of theological texts. This book was used as a manual of theology for the clergy and laymen. This book contains some abstracts from the works of Severus of Antioch. Several theologians and patriarchs quoted him also in their treatises and correspondances. In this article, we will give in full all the texts attributed to Severus of Antioch and we will try to identify them.

Defining and implementing a versatile representation of the syntactic information in biblical texts enables one to address an extensive set of important problems. To represent clausal syntactic information (categories andprecedence/dominance relations), linguists have frequently used, and continue to use, phrase markers (trees). Trees consist of labeled nodes joined by arrows (directed edges). Each node represents a clause constituent (a word or syntactically-significant word segment, a phrase, a complement, an adjunct, or a cue phrase). Syntactic category is shown in a label on the node, as is the relation among sub-constituents that justifies node creation. Precedence is shown by the ordering of the nodes; dominance is indicated by arrows that point from dominating-node to dominated-node(s). We show that tree structures are fairly common in every day life. Then, using a simple clause, we illustrate the step-by-step process of creating a simple phrase marker (tree). We illustrate how exhaustive representation of the syntactic information in Hebrew biblical texts forces some of the phrase markers to be graphs (more complex structures than trees). We conclude with an exposition of the phrase marker for the complex clause in Genesis 3:2-3.

The history of relationships around the mid-fourth millennium BC between eastern Anatolia and Transcaucasia is still poorly understood, especially in its earlier stages. The latest results of the excavations at Arslantepeand Sos Hoyuk are of invaluable importance in clarifying the subject. A set of ceramic analyses recently carried out on selected contexts from the Late Chalcolithic Phase VII at Arslantepe and from the Late Chalcolithic Phase VA at Sos Hoyuk, have thrown new light on these eastern Anatolian cultural dynamics. Assisting our interpretation are radiocarbon readings from certain Georgian and Armenian settlements that provide a new and different perspective on the Kuro-Araks culture and on its relationships with the nearby regions. The result is a framework within which the Upper Euphrates valley, north-eastern Anatolia and Transcaucasus were involved in reciprocal interaction from the middle of the fourth millennium BC.

This article seeks to define the various syntagmas in which the suffix conjugation is employed in biblical Hebrew. The tense functions: Present, Past and Future are discussed under their respective syntactical constructions which in turn are placed in the matrix of ancient discourse. The suffix conjugation is understood as a pattern derived from the stative adjective in the most ancient documented Afro-Asiatic languages, viz. Egyptian and Akkadian.

This article discusses the various opinions with respect to the burial place of the head of Husayn Ibn 'Alī (the prophet Muhammad's grandson), who was killed at the Battle of Karbala' (680 A.D.) by the Umayyads. The article also discusses the miracles and wonders performed by Husayn's head after his decapitation. We will attempt to explain why Husayn's head was believed to be buried in various locations. Regarding the miracles performed by the head, the article will show that their purpose is to emphasize Husayn Ibn 'Alī status as one of the chosen through whose decapitated head he continued to perform miracles. These miracles prove that in a fashion similar to saints, Husayn's spiritual presence continues even after his material presence has ended.

These monuments are described, analysed and compared with the similar structures built by the Urartians.It is proposed that the tombs and the open-air shrine at Madavank comprise a unique complex for the Van region.

Pirot Hoyuk was excavated during I978-I985 as a part of the Lower Euphrates (Aeban-Karakaya Dam Reservoir Basin) salvage excavation project. Work at the site consisted of seven seasons and was conducted by a team directed by Ozgen Karaca. Five stamp seals were found in the early levels of Pirot Hoyuk (Level X, XII, XIII and XV.). One of the seals is made of bone and the other four are made of stone, perhaps hematite or steatite. Seals with similar shape and decoration found in the Elazig-Malatya region (Arslantepe, Tepecik, Degirmentepe and Norsuntepe), and farther southwest, in the Amuq Plain (Tell esh Sheikh), provide important evidence with which to date the early stamp seals of Pirot Hoyuk.
