Pseudoscholar,

Furuli is not an expert in Babylonian chronology, Hunger is, correct?

OUTLAW

One day I may well meet your expaectations of 'substance'......Scholar

I think everyone has given up on your ability to provide Substance..

We would be happy if you could find your Spell Check Button..

Hermann Hunger (born 1942), an Austrian Assyriologist, Professor of Assyriology at the University of Vienna, until his retirement (2007). [ 1 ] An authority on Babylonian astronomy and celestial omens.

Furuli is an expert in linguistics...

Outlaw,

I do think pseudoscholar is a competent expert in delusions!

Scholar ... The Organization needs a few good men to take the lead. If you aren't already partaking, go for it, contact the right people and share your strong convictions ... you may be a member of the GB in no time.

IsaacAustin..

When someone admits they don`t have the Education to Understand the Subject they are Debating..

The debate is over..

Scholar admits he doesn`t have the education to understand Furuli or Hunger..

Scholar is a Waste of Time..

Scholar..

You need a New Board Name..

How about..

I do things according to my own timetable not yours.

Sounds like your perceived time table has been mischiefly maligned by a unscholarly publishing house.

One thing to take from all of this, when men make the effort to appear as they have been divinely connected with the holy almighty,

embellished stories to identify themselves as in god's spirit will certainly come out, particularly those running a publishing company.

And the most obvious is C T Russell (salesman) or J Rutherford (lawyer) were not well schooled theologians by any stretch of the imagination.

Scholar, as you claim to be a Bible scholar, please address my questions on page 8.

@ Outlaw - Precisely!

When Neil goes away and gets a clue, then he can make a meaningful contribution. Until that time, he would be advised to watch and learn from the wings rather than launching forth and pronouncing on that of which he, by his own admission, is ignorant. Yet another case in point:

I repeat my understanding of the Babylonian Gap is not and was not based on the research by Furuli, it is based on the Bible. Furuli simply has provided evidence for this and what he has written simply confirms the matter.

As Neil has done no research on Furuli's claims, he cannot say with any conviction that Furuli has provided evidence for, or confirms, a 20 year gap in Babylonian chronology - he simply does not know one way or another.

Such previous studies are in English so I can make a sufficient comparison to form an opinion.

No you cannot, Neil - not at this present time because, according to you, you have no 'expertise' to do so. And your annoyance at our pressing you about it is making you so muddle-headed that you instantly forget that N/W's study is in German!

I do things according to my own timetable not yours.

OK. But you really need to put the brakes on speaking authoritatively on a subject that's way over your head. And Furuli's first edition of his Vol. 2 came out in 2007 ... so how long do you need to properly examine it for yourself and bring something worthwhile to the debate?

isaacaustin - to reiterate the extent of Hunger's qualifications in Semitic languages, I'll repost this from page 1 of this thread:

"At the 220th meeting of the American Oriental Society on March 12-15, 2010, the membership unanimously elected Hermann Hunger, emeritus professor at the University of Vienna to honorary membership in the America Oriental Society.

Among the many paragraphs of praise in the nominating letter is the following: 'Professor Hunger's career trajectory seems uneventful. He earned a doctorate in Assyriology and Semitic philology earlier than most (24), a sign of his competence. His dissertation about colophons was a meticulous assembling of an enormous number of such notices with an imaginative reconstruction about their use. But early on he began collaborative works with Otto E. Neugebauer, the great historian of science in antiquity, and with Abe Sachs who, much earlier, had followed a similar path in working with Neugebauer. The research arrangements moved Professor Hunger into the areas of scholarship for which he is best known now.'

Within the nominating letter there were also notices about Dr. Hunger's scholarship ('accurate, reliable, durable'), his wide collaborative efforts, and his crucial role in formulating and finalizing the most basic and indispensable tool of Assyriology, the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary (CAD). Hunger is a member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Relevant key publications: Mul.Apin (1989, in collaboration with David Pingree)."
