ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΓΕΩΜΥΘΟΛΟΓΙΑ ΟΜ.ΚΑΘΗΓΗΤΗ ΗΛΙΑ ΜΑΡΙΟΛΑΚΟΥ

Όλοι σχεδόν έχουν αποδεχθεί ότι η ελληνική μυθολογία είναι ένα γοητευτικό παραμύθι, που δεν έχει καμία απολύτως σχέση με την προϊστορική πραγματικότητα.

Από την έρευνα του ομ.καθηγητή Ηλία Μαριολάκου, στους τρεις τόμους της Ελληνικής Γεωμυθολογίας, προκύπτει ότι στην ελληνική Μυθολογία υπάρχει μοναδική σύμπτωση μεταξύ της φυσικογεωλογικής εξέλιξης μιας περιοχής και εκείνης της ανθρώπινης κοινωνίας, όπως συμβαίνει μεταξύ της φυσικογεωλογικής εξέλιξης του Αιγιακού και του ευρύτερου Περιαιγιακού χώρου, και της εξέλιξης στο Γενεαλογικό Δένδρο των Θεών και των Θεοτήτων, όπως τις περιγράφει στη Θεογονία του ο Ησίοδος.

ΣτονIτόμο αναδύονται συνοπτικά η φυσικογεωγραφική εξέλιξη του ευρύτερου αιγαιακού χώρου , καθώς και ορισμένες από τις πρώτες τεχνολογικές δραστηριότητες των προϊστορικών κατοίκων του. Ο IIτόμος της Γεωμυθολογίαςείναι αποκαλυπτικός για να μην πω και ανατρεπτικός, καθώς η έρευνα του Ηλία Μαριολάκου  πάνω σε αρχαίους συγγραφείς, και συγκεκριμένα τον Διόδωρο Σικελιώτη – κατακλυσμός της Σαμοθράκης – τον οδηγεί στην εκτίμηση ότι δεν παρατηρείται διακοπή της συνέχειας της ελληνικής γλώσσας εδώ και 12.500 χρόνια τουλάχιστον.Ως φιλόλογος, σταματώ στο σημείο, όπου ο συγγραφέας διερωτάται : «γιατί οι Ινδοευρωπαϊστές αποκλείουν την περίπτωση να έχουν επηρεάσει, και οι Έλληνες, τη γλώσσα των Κελτών και των Γαλατών για παράδειγμα, αλλά πρέπει οπωσδήποτε οι αγνώστου προέλευσης Ινδοευρωπαίοι να έχουν επηρεάσει την Ελληνική;». Εύλογο το ερώτημα και δυστυχώς απάντηση επίσημη δεν υπάρχει, και φοβούμαι ότι …δεν θα υπάρξει! Η διαπίστωση,όμως, του συγγραφέα παραμένει εύλογη και αποκαλυπτική.

Στον IIIτόμο δίνεται απάντηση στα ερωτήματα που σχετίζονται με τη γένεση των θεών, και συγκεκριμένα με το «πότε» και «για ποιους λόγους» δημιουργήθηκαν οι συγκεκριμένες γενεές θεών συνδέοντάς τες με τις καθοριστικής σημασίας κλιματικές μεταβολές και τις συγκλονιστικές επιπτώσεις στη γεωπεριβαλλοντική εξέλιξη του ευρύτερου Αιγαιακού χώρου κατά τα τελευταία 18.000 χρόνια,

Το έργο του Ηλία Μαριολάκουγια την Ελληνική Γεωμυθολογία με τη βαθειά γνώση της επιστήμης του,και όχι μόνο, μοιάζει με μικρό εγκυκλοπαιδικό λεξικό. Είναι πόνημα πολύχρονης και πολύπονης έρευνας, που αναδεικνύει τη σημασία της Γεωμυθολογίας, άγνωστης στο ευρύ κοινό. Πρόκειται για μια αξιόλογη και πρωτότυπη σειρά βιβλίων ενός αξιόλογου και αναγνωρισμένου διεθνώς ερευνητή, που συμβάλλει τα μέγιστα στην Επιστήμη.

Περίληψη Ομιλίας Ομ. Καθηγητή κ. Η. Μαριολάκου 

The third book describes the activities of the gods of the 4th generation, according to Hesiod's pedigree, and their relationship with the geo-environment, starting with the river-gods and the six great gods and the goddesses of Olympus. Next are the gods of the younger generations and finally the various heroes.

   Special importance is given to the heroes, forefathers of the Greeks, as well as others less known or completely ignored, such as Palamedes and Aghisis, as well as to many who through of their acti-vities proves to be the decisive contribution of the prehistoric Greeks in the formation of the Ancient Greek civilization first and then of the European and more generally of the West.

   An attempt was made in the book to answer the questions relating to the genesis of the gods, namely "when" and "for what reasons" were the particular generations of gods created, linking them to the crucial climatic changes and the shocking effects on the geo-environmental evolution of the wider Aegean area during the last 18,000 years, which is - in its details - unique on the entire planet.

   At the same time, reference is also made to the theogony of the various peoples who lived around the Eastern Mediterranean (Sumerians, Babylonians, Hittites, Egyptians, Israelites) and they too developed important cultures mainly during the prehistoric era.

ΟΜΙΛΙΑ

On the antiquity and continuity of the

Greek Language.

A Geomythological approach.

 Ilias D. Mariolakos

emer. Professor of Geology N.K.U.A.

Abstract

The general impression, that prevails in the world, is that Greek Mythology, is fantastic stories, a creation of the imaginative ancient Greeks.

   The Geomythological research, however, in the last years, has proven, that many myths, are connected to the great climate change, which was observed 18,000 years ago and was continued until 6,000 years ago and mainly with the effects on the geoenvironment of the Aegean and Peri-Aegean area, proves, that many myths are associated with natural phenomena, which the modern Geoscience can date with satisfactory accuracy.

This is the case with the flood of Samothrace, described by Diodorus from Sicily (1st century BC). The latest research on oil, carried out in the sediments of the Black Sea, proved that the flood in question took place between 14,500 and 12,500 BP (Before Present). Because at this time, writing had not yet been invented, the flood in question must have rescued and spread as a "historical event", as an oral tradition. However, the preservation of a tradition, for such a long period of time requires, as a necessary condition, that the younger generations speak the same language as the older ones.

Consequently: The Greek Language must be spoken continuously, from 14,000 BP, until today, without interruption. Therefore, the prevailing opinion, that the Greek Language was brought with them by the Greeks of Indo-European origin, who arrived in Greece around 2,000 BC is not valid.

Εις αντικατάσταση της ομιλίας του κ. Α.Αντωνάκου με θέμα:

Οἱ ἀποσιωπηθεῖσες φιλολογικές πηγὲς γιὰ τὴν ἑλληνικὴ προέλευση

τῶν γραμμάτων τοῦ Ἀλφαβήτου

η οποία μετατίθεται εντός του έτους 2024

Abstract

Ο Πλάτων θέλει να διδάξει ένα νέο μουσικό σύστημα, στο οποίο θα υπάρχουν 12 ίσα μεταξύ τους διαστήματα, τα ημιτόνια. Πρόκειται για το λεγόμενο «σύστημα του ίσου συγκερασμού». Όμως, η «ἐπὶ ποινῇ θανάτου» Πυθαγόρεια απαγόρευση της χρήσης των αρρήτων αριθμών, που του είναι απαραίτητο εργαλείο, τον αναγκάζει να πλάσει έναν μύθο, προκειμένου να την παρακάμψει (Νόμοι, 5, 737e, 738). Στον μύθο περιγράφεται η δομή της ιδανικής κοινωνίας των Μαγνήτων, μιας αποικίας Κρητών από την Κνωσό, που κατάγονται από τη Γορτυνία της Πελοποννήσου.

Ο τρόπος κατανομής της γης στους αποίκους οδηγεί τεχνηέντως τον Πλάτωνα στον υπολογισμό του άρρητου αριθμού , επί του οποίου εδράζεται ο ίσος συγκερασμός των 12 ημιτονίων, ενώ η ρυμοτομία της εν λόγῳ αποικίας φαντάζει με έναν σκληρό μαγνητικό δίσκο χωρισμένο σε δύο μέρη (partitions)· σ’ αυτό των αστικών οικοπέδων για την οικοδόμηση οικιών και σ’ εκείνο, στο ύπαιθρο, για γεωργική ἢ κτηνοτροφική εκμετάλλευση (AlanShugart, ΙΒΜ, 1971).

Abstract

Constellations are a distribution of the visible with the naked eye stars in various groups. The nomenclature of these groups and their description on the celestial dome comes from Greek Mythology. In particular, it existed in the work of Eudoxus of Cnidius 'Enoptron and Phenomena' which was saved through the poem of Aratos 'Phenomena and Diosemia'. Also, in the work of Eratosthenes 'Catasterismi', the number of stars that 'outline' each Constellation is given and the myth from which the name of the Constellation comes.

In this presentation, the distribution of the constellations in the celestial sphere is examined, as well as the distribution of the stars within them, as provided by the ancient Greek authors. It is established the existence of a mathematical relationship on the one hand with known Pythagorean Numbers and on the other with known terms of Musical Harmony, which is directly connected to the Pythagorean numbers

This study was carried out with the collaboration of the Professor of Music Studies of the University of Athens Mr. Charalambos Spyridis, the Lecturer of the Department of Astrophysics, Astronomy and Mechanism of the University of Athens Mr. Kosmas Gazeas, the (then) student of the Department of Physics of the University of Athens K. Kobothanis and the speaker P. Preka. It is published in Scientific Culture magazine under the title:

Abstract

The annular solar eclipse, of 30 October 1207 B.C. (Julian Day-JD 1280869), calculated by NASA together with the analysis of the weather’s and the environment’sdescription(long nights, plants, animals and peoples’ habits) and the astronomical data (guiding constellations and Venus the planet in the east horizon) mentioned by Homer in the epic, constitute a corpus of information.  The result of the analysis of the corpus offers the first precise astronomical dating, without error bars at all, of Odysseus’ returned to Ithaca in the autumn five days before the pre-mentioned eclipse. The latter is connected with another astronomical event meaning the planet Venus found in the eastern horizon utilizing, the tool of dating which is the software Starry Night. The two astronomical events the eclipse and Venus’ position in the prehistoric sky of the Ionian Islands confirmed fully the prehistoric text.

Abstract
The Methodology of Mythology was developed to examine the logic of a myth, notably that by Plato, regarding the truths or falsehoods it contains. At the start of the project, a new conceptually faithful translation of a myth was made to study the logic of the myth correctly and, at the same time, study the thought process of the rationalist and myth writer, Plato. The study of the logic of myths is understood as being the application of logic to the scrutiny of a mythical narrative in order to ascertain its purpose and written structure, to whom it is addressed and how, to investigate whether it contains concepts, terminologies, expressions or a particular form of writing in which one can identify possible postulates, laws, principles and rules, or perhaps a systematic procedure that allows for the categorization and separation of truth from falsehood. The study of the logic of Plato as a writer of myths means to look for his reasoning as a myth writer, determining whether he mingles truths and untruths in the writing of the myth or would write a likely true story in a way that appears to be probably untrue, and how to discern these two.
Plato was chosen as the subject because he is considered a perfect exponent of rationalism, which is incompatible with creative writing, something that he himself acknowledged. In view of that, the myth chosen as the most suitable for study was that of Atlantis, due to its manageable length, neither too long nor too short, its many descriptive images and of course the recognized validity of its author and the preciseness of his original ancient writings.
Initially observed was that while most recognized translations of the ancient text are relatively similar for the most part, they vary widely in a few but crucial passages. Sometimes, texts that the translator found incomprehensible were simply excluded, while other translators rendered them incoherent in meaning. The attempt to elucidate these, found wide deviations of the same text in preceding translations because the new conceptually faithful translation gave rise to novel, unambiguous and previously unidentified meanings. What is more, repeated patterns were found in the expressing of certain meanings and the existence of a systematic variability in
degrees of complexity in understanding and translating. Additionally, in the course of elucidating the meanings, done word by word and phrase by phrase, another level of unknown meaning and information periodically appears in the ancient text. It was further found that the researcher, by applying logic based on the new faithful translation, was methodically directed to the truth, to locate and gradually develop the methodology to be applied to verify the truth or falsity of a meaning. This methodology is shown to be in absolute conformity with the logic of G. Boole's algebra used in computers as well as with the analysis of probabilities.
The Myth proves to be a unique scientific, didactic and informative piece of writing of magnitude and value far more remarkable than thus far believed. It is addressed to distinct intellectual ages of learners and enables the highly educated to distinguish the coexisting truths and falsities in it. It also contains crucial information about the era in which it was written, which can be retrieved methodically without impacting other vital elements identified and previously commented on in these writings.
Identified governing the Platonic myths are twelve laws and twelve postulates that were subsequently able to be applied to the Homeric Myths, except that the Homeric myths presently contain seven additional postulates and a law partially different from the twelve governing Plato's Myth. To be presented are two typical examples of when applying logic to a faithfully translated excerpt from the 11th rhapsody of the Odyssey uncovers hitherto unknown and significant information, at least in this of Odysseus' adventures, visiting Ades.
Said information is a full Calendar of the Homeric era, of great accuracy and thus far unknown, proving that today's calendar has its early origins there.
Furthermore, new information emerges about the constellation of Orion, including the actual outline of the constellation observed by peoples of that time and which has some minor differences from today's recognised form. Plus, there is new information concerning the constellation of Orion in relationship to the Moon and many more new and remarkable findings.

Atlantis and the Hellenes

Abstract

Atlantis’ position is in the Atlantic Ocean. Its position is placed by the platonic text with exactitude. Its geomorphologic nature is defined by the meaning of the word nesos not with that, of the 4th century BC in which Plato lived, but by the concept which corresponded in remote period centuries earlier. Then, the word had five different meanings as Homer says. With the word Atlantis is, presented, initially, a system of ring like homocentric craters altered by land and sea circular zones. In addition Atlantis is a horseshoe type flat valley which is surrounded by mountains in the North, West and East but not in the South where it ends in the Atlantic Ocean. Further the valley’s axis is directed in South-North direction. Atlantis is also a vast land. The nature of the concentric craters, and with warm waters, corresponds with a mud volcano whereas the red, white and black stones which were the building material of Atlantis’s houses were products of the local geology west of the pillars of Heracles in south Spain. In this region there are numerous mad volcanoes and not magma volcanoes. Atlantis, whose name is Plato’s arbitrary choice, was destroyed by huge repetitive earthquakes and successive tsunamis. Recently in Gadiz Heracles’ enormous temple has been found in less than 4 m water depth. Strabo and Poseidonious date the temple in 1100 BC. Plato’s narration about Atlantis’s opponent, Athens, has nothing to do with the 4th century BC. It corresponds with Athens of the end of the 13th and early 12th century BC as the results of excavations propose. Plato mentioned some of the Kings of Athens. In fact all the Kings of Athens, Κekrops, Erysichthon, Kranaos, Erichthonios, Pandion, Erechtheus, Kekrops, Pandion, Aegeus, Theseus, Menestheus, seem to drop within the second millennium BC! Archaeologist S. Marinatos wrote that the Atlanteans, meaning the Sea Peoples, met the strong Achaeans in an unknown place. The contact had occurred between 1218 and 1207 BC. They got very tired from the contact and then they entered exhausted in the Nile and they were crashed by the Egyptians. The end of Atlantis occurred in 1150 BC by an extreme event, meaning, repetitive earthquakes and subsequent repetitive tsunamis. Atlantis was prehistoric Tartessos which was destroyed violently and it was not lost quietly as the next Tartessos from Guadalquivir’s river deposits. Both prehistoric Tartessos and prehistoric Athens got seismic catastrophes from different causes within the late 13th century BC and early 12th century BC respectively.
