This study reexamines the biblical notice of King Asa’s late-life disease (1 Kgs 15:22–24; 2 Chr 16:12–13) through a combined linguistic, textual, and diagnostic analysis. While many interpreters have approached Asa’s illness primarily through theological or Deuteronomistic frameworks—often proposing symbolic, euphemistic, or punitive explanations—the Hebrew terminology employed in both Kings and Chronicles is anatomically specific and unusually detailed for a royal illness account......

The Siraya people have a rich history, having settled in Taiwan approximately 6,000 years ago while speaking Austronesian languages. Today, they exist in various groups across the island. Unfortunately, the past four centuries have seen substantial migrations of non-Austronesian (NAN) speaking groups from East Asia, which, coupled with significant Sinicization, have contributed to the extinction of the Siraya language. Despite this, many elements of their unique culture and customs continue to thrive...... ReadMore -

In the art study programs in the Western world Huang Shen (1687-1768) is almost unknown. This paper will present one of his Flower Albums containing nine leaves including poems with calligraphy in cursive script. The poems related to the drawings are here translated in English with exegeses. Huang Shen lived in Yangzhou, an affluent city on the Jiangzi river. The art scene in those days knew the craftsman and academic scholar-artist. Huang started as a craftsman and progressed upward. He used to travel in the wider region around Yangzhou, and performed landscape scenes, besides that he painted people in the street, as well as flowers and animal scenes as his objects. In all the disciplines he was innovative and therefore is reckoned to belong to the ‘Eight Eccentrics of the Yangzhou Movement’...... ReadMore -

There is an interesting and magic corresponding relationship between the fingers of primates (human beings as representative) and the ancient plates that had been varying from the left to right whirl arm of the Cross “+” shape ocean-plate whirlpool of the Earth. It is implied by the feature evolution of the planet Earth that primates, especially the human race, should be the top ceiling species evolving on the Earth up to nowadays. That may explain the nature phenomenon that human individuals, including other primates, only have five fingers in one hand (left or right). Although it looks the same from left to right same fingers, they actually inherent to the different features of expanding and shrinking based on the different corresponding features of left and right whirl arms of the Cross “+” shape oceanplate whirlpool of the.....

The discovery of a controlled cultic deposit in Area D at Shiloh, near the presumed Tabernacle location, provides a rare archaeological window into early Israelite ritual practice. First excavated by Israel Finkelstein and later by Scott Stripling, the assemblage includes ash layers, approximately 10,000 bones from clean species, cultic vessels, ceramic stands, and eight gold and silver objects. Stratigraphic analysis, ceramic typology, and radiocarbon data place the deposit within the Late Bronze Age II horizon (ca. 1400–1200 BC), aligning with early Israelite occupation. While over forty favissae are known in the southern Levant, most reflect Canaanite or Philistine traditions...... ReadMore -

The rock art found in the province of Ávila is not exceedingly well known, except for certain sets such as Peña Mingubela, in Ojos Albos (González-Tablas, 1980) [1], and La Peña de las Zorreras in Raso de Candeleda (Terés Navarro, 1987) [2], identified more than thirty years ago. The exploratory work done in recent years has allowed evidence to be extended to previously empty areas and has put important data on the table to take on a comprehensive interpretation of the phenomenon in the future......
