As archaeological discoveries revealed the scale of the Hittite kingdom in the second half of the 19th Century, Archibald Henry Sayce postulated, rather than to be compared to Judah, the Anatolian civilization " worthy of comparison to the divided Kingdom of Egypt ", and was " infinitely more powerful than that of Judah ".

Shortly after this, Archibald Sayce proposed that Hatti or Khatti in Anatolia was identical with the " kingdom of Kheta " mentioned in these Egyptian texts, as well as with the biblical Hittites.

However, whatever his obligations to Burnouf may have been, according to Sayce, Lassen's " contributions to the decipherment of the inscriptions were numerous and important.

In 1910, in consequence of a report by Archibald Sayce, excavations were commenced in the mounds of the town, and in the necropolis, by John Garstang, on behalf of the University of Liverpool.

Later, after Sayce had turned his attention to Egyptology, archives were discovered at Hattusa that unlocked the language spoken there.

Sayce has implied that the Kenites were a tribe of smiths — a view to which Jahwist's statements would lend support.

The same characters were recorded in Boghaz-köy, and presumed by A. H. Sayce to be Hittite in origin.

Wackernagel had produced an Indian etymology in 1907 ; in 1925 A. H. Sayce had suggested a connection to Hittite habiri (" looters ", " outlaws "), but subsequent discoveries have made this implausible on phonological grounds.

Sayce identified Shinar as cognate with the following names: Sangara / Sangar mentioned in the context of the Asiatic conquests of Thutmose III ( 15th century BCE ); Sanhar / Sankhar of the Amarna letters ( 14th century BCE ); the Greeks's Singara ; and modern Sinjar, in Upper Mesopotamia, near the Khabur River.

Sayce linked the reliefs near Magnesia on the Maeander in western Anatolia to those of the site at Yazilikaya in the Turkish plateau, and recognised that they belonged to an unidentified pre-Greek culture.

This led Sayce to conclude that by finding the name of one of these deities with the help of another language endowed with similar pronunciation, one might analyze the conversion of the aforesaid name in Hittite hieroglyphics.

Working with a plaster impression, Sayce translated the cuneiform text of a seal " Tarritktimme, king of the country of Erme " ( Walters Gallery, Baltimore ).

Sayce was working at El Kab in Egypt with Somers Clarke in the 1900s.

Unreadable at first due to the deposits, Professor Archibald Sayce was the first to make a tentative reading, and later the text was cleaned with an acid solution making the reading more authoritative.

He later excavated at Eileithyiaspolis with Clarke and Archibald Sayce from 1901 to 1902.

Dr. A. H. Sayce, Oxford professor of Egyptology,

Archibald Henry Sayce ( 25 September 1846-4 February 1933 ), was a pioneer British Assyriologist and linguist, who held a chair as Professor of Assyriology at the University of Oxford from 1891 to 1919.

Archibald Sayce was born in Shirehampton, Bristol, to a family of Shropshire descent.

In 1874 Sayce published a long paper, " The Astronomy and Astrology of the Babylonians " in Transactions of the Society of Biblical Archaeology vol.

However, an initial perusal and comparison of some of the famous passages with the same parts of other versions seems to speak well of the efforts of the British Biblical scholars.

Among the most frequently quoted Biblical sentences are the Beatitudes and yet so few persons, other than scholars, really understand the true meaning of these eight blessings uttered by Jesus at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount.

Had More's writings been wholly limited to such exercises, they would be almost as dimly remembered as those of a dozen or so other authors living in his time, whose works tenuously survive in the minds of the few hundred scholars who each decade in pursuit of their very specialized occasions read those works.

The debate led to a decision that Chicago needed neither a big name nor an experienced academic administrator, but rather, as Trustee Chairman Glen A. Lloyd put it, `` a top scholar in his own right '' -- a bright light to lure other top scholars to Chicago.

A common criticism has been that many social science scholars ( such as economists, sociologists, and psychologists ) in Western countries focus disproportionately on Western subjects, while anthropology focuses disproportionately on the " other "; this has changed over the last part of the twentieth century as anthropologists increasingly, also study Western subjects, particularly variation across class, region, or ethnicity within Western societies, and other social scientists increasingly take a global view of their fields.

In other countries ( and in some, particularly smaller, British and North American universities ), anthropologists have also found themselves institutionally linked with scholars of folklore, museum studies, human geography, sociology, social relations, ethnic studies, cultural studies, and social work.

Like other scholars of his day ( such as Edward Tylor ), Morgan argued that human societies could be classified into categories of cultural evolution on a scale of progression that ranged from savagery, to barbarism, to civilization.

Germany and Norway are the countries that showed the most division and conflict between scholars focusing on domestic socio-cultural issues and scholars focusing on " other " societies ..

Under Parthian and Sassanian Iranian empires, scholars concentrated on exchanging knowledge and inventions by the countries around them – India, China, and the Roman Empire, when it is thought to be expanded over the other countries.

In the narrower sense, some scholars distinguish " true " alphabets from two other types of segmental script, abjads and abugidas.

According to many scholars it only comprises a small number of monosyllabic lexical roots, including the personal pronouns and a few other deictic and auxiliary items.

He wrote, " Robert Henderson, Harold Seymour, and other scholars have since debunked the Doubleday-Cooperstown myth, which nonetheless remains powerful in the American imagination because of the efforts of Major League Baseball and the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

His verses have not come down to us through a manuscript tradition-generations of scribes copying an author's collected works, such as delivered intact into the modern age four entire books of Pindar's odes-but haphazardly, in quotes from ancient scholars and commentators whose own works have chanced to survive, and in the tattered remnants of papyri uncovered from an ancient rubbish pile at Oxyrhynchus and other locations in Egypt: sources that modern scholars have studied and correlated exhaustively, adding little by little to the world's store of poetic fragments.

The need to persuade his nobles to undertake work for the ' common good ' led Alfred and his court scholars to strengthen and deepen the conception of Christian kingship that he had inherited by building upon the legacy of earlier kings such as Offa as well as clerical writers such as Bede, Alcuin and the other luminaries of the Carolingian renaissance.

Some scholars believe that the apologetic view of Luke ’ s work is overemphasized and that it should not be regarded as a “ major aim of the Lucan writings .” While Munck believes that purpose of Luke ’ s work is not that clear-cut and sympathizes with other claims, he believes that Luke ’ s work can function as an apology only in the sense that it “ presents a defense of Christianity and Paul ” and may serve to “ clarify the position of Christianity within Jewry and within the Roman Empire .” Pervo disagrees that Luke ’ s work is an apology and even that it could possibly be addressed to Rome because he believes that “ Luke and Acts speak to insiders, believers in Jesus .” Freedman believes that Luke is writing an apology but that his goal is “ not to defend the Christian movement as such but to defend God ’ s ways in history .”

Pervo sees Luke ’ s work as a “ legitimizing narrative ” because it makes “ a case by telling a story ( or stories )” and serves to legitimate either “ Pauline Christianity ( possibly in rivalry to other interpretations ) or generally as the claim of the Jesus-movement to possess the Israelite heritage .” On the other hand, some scholars greatly disagree with the view of legitimation because they believe that it “ mirror-reads ” Luke ’ s work attempting to uncover the circumstances surrounding Luke ’ s work by over-arguing something that may not be that valid.

Several scholars have argued that Acts used material from both of Josephus ' works, rather than the other way around, which would indicate that Acts was written around the year 100 or later.

Thomas, like many other medievals, never gives a systematic account of beauty itself, but several scholars have conventionally arranged his thought — though not always with uniform conclusions — using relevant observations spanning the entire corpus of his work.

Arabic literature had contributions by thousands of figures, many of them are not only poets but are celebrates in other fields such as politicians, scientists and scholars among others.

He also derived great satisfaction from his friendships and correspondence with Erasmus and other scholars.
