Writing ¿Sumerian or onubense invention?

Until now, it was believed that the deed had come to the Iberian Peninsula with the Phoenicians, between 900 and 800 a. C. - after having been invented in Sumer 2500 years before. But a professor of Ancient History at the UNED, Ana Maria Vazquez Hoys, just discover that it might not be the case. After reviewing some useful, a polisher of arrows and a small urn-the Archaeological Museum of Huelva found in the tombs of an ancient megalithic culture onubense -4.000-3.000 a. C - found that two of them appeared in written signs.

Transcribed them and saw that some were similar to the letters N, W and N, and that sometimes the signs are repeated. Will be found written in the same period in other parts of Europe, so Vazquez Hoys thought maybe someone had brought these objects to Huelva. But no, the clay with which it was made locally. This supports the mention of Strabo that turdetanos, inhabitants of the south of the Iberian peninsula, had laws written in verse 6,000 years old.

It has not yet been deciphered the meaning of the script, but the discovery dispute that the writing came to Europe from the East. "We in Europe have found signs of writing prior to Sumer and in the caves of Altamira -18,000 a. C-there may be some that reveal the signature of the artist," says the researcher. With these findings, it would not be unreasonable to consider whether it was not the inhabitants of the south of the peninsula who were taught to write to the Phoenicians.

The metaphysics of sex

Where does the attraction between men and women? Should we be faithful? How are jealousy? Can we get to understand women? The questions that we always have assaulted in relation to sexuality try to be answered in the book of Julius Evola "Metaphysics sex," the editorial Olañeta.

If you're looking for an answer frivolous, did not find in these pages. Evola part in search of the meaning of eros Finally, the sexual experience and, through a search in history, is answering these questions, avoiding falling into the trivialization and superficiality. We could talk, for example, of modesty.

Montaigne said that "there are things that are hidden to show better." Is that why a woman feels ashamed to show their legs enfundadas rising in the silk skirt, while on other occasions publicly strolls with a bikini that barely covers a few centimeters from your body?

In every culture, part of the body varies pudenda. While the Chinese are to their feet, Arabs and Persians conceal his mouth. Or the case of prostitution. There has always been somewhat marginal. In previous cultures, some women devoted to the gods and offered themselves as part of ritual invocation and sacred dances.

Some were united in brotherhoods and each had their own emblems. The Kam Sütra was taught to the younger more diverse positions for the art of love. The most prominent families felt honored that his daughters were enshrined since childhood, for service in the temple. Something that today we think of everything inconceivable right? Religions are part of the analysis of Evol. How contemplates each sex?

As a taboo, as a way to elevate the spirit or, in the most direct condemnation forever. Taoism, Kabbalah, tantrismo ... In the case of Christianity, condemned sexuality, even expressed a genuine theological aversion to sex. For him, life is sexual sin and is only permitted when unfolded in marriage and with the aim of procreation.

In addition, to be confused with the ascetic priest, and hence the question of imposing celibacy. Broadly speaking, Julius Evola is proposing an emotional journey through the history and meaning of eros. Multiple ancestral experiences and unknown to almost everyone. Do you want to discover them?
