Research

Maravot's work in deciphering the Etruscan Language. This work was originally published in 1981 as the "Catalog of Etruscan Words," by Mel Copeland. The work now integrates the Tavola Cortonensis and Zagreb Mummy scripts, which are the most recent finds. The work shows Etruscan conjugation and declension patterns. The first page lists the words and is an easy reference as to where they can be found and where their declension and conjugation patterns may be compared and examined. Translation of the various scripts is nearly complete. The work extends to not only translating the Etruscan scripts but also new areas of study in the development of the Indo-European languages. Tables are furnished showing the relationship of hundreds of Etruscan cognates to the basic Indo-European language groups.

Banquet of the Gods, research on the similarities of Etruscan works to the Greek Illiad, the Celtic Tain, Anglo-Saxon Boewulf, the Rig Veda and the Indus Valley seals (Harappa civilization). We are reminded that the wonderful murals in the Etruscan tombs have a story, and no doubt those who commissioned the murals had no intentions to have anyone from the world of the living judging them. It is a good primer for those interested in the role sacrifice played within the Indo-European religions.

Magnets in Space, a pdf file: discussion on Galaxy Group Hickson 44. A large galaxy appears to be causing a smaller galaxy on its same plane to flip over, just as in the behavior of magnets. When two wafer-type magnets are scooted towards one another with like poles (positive or negative) facing, one or the other of the magnets will flip over. Like poles repel, unlike attract.

Maravot's The Allah Controversy, about 50 pages, a discussion on the many misunderstandings among scholars on the Koran: Since it was dictated by the angels of the Bible and written to confirm the Jewish Scriptures, Torah and Gospel (sic. the Bible), it cannot contradict the Bible. Moslem scholars suggest that Allah is not the God of the Bible, and that the Koran supercedes the Bible, ideas that are contradictory to the message of the Bible. Islamist extremists use the Koran's scriptures to justify murdering non-Moslems, and the applicable verses of the Koran that advocate violence against "unbelievers" are also inconsistent with the Bible / Gospel.

Maravot's Synoptic Matrix.pdf a comparison of the Synoptic Gospels: Matthew, Mark and Luke, plus the Gospel of John laid beside them where they coincide. A great teaching and learning tool. The matrix is unusual as it recites passages which are different-- where passages are identical the chapter and verse is [only] listed. It is a quick way to discern the differences among the Gospels. It also flags the brilliance and wonderful singleness of mind and consistency of spirit Jesus had. The matrix takes up about 11 segments; some alignment problems may prevail until I get it all loaded.
