| ARTICLES RELATED TO 1st century AD | | | | |  1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Pula - HistoryThe city's earliest recorded permanent habitation dates back to the 10th century BC. It was founded by the Illyrian tribe of the Histri, an ancient population that lived in Istria.
Significant Roman settlement (Colonia Pietas Iulia Pola) began in the first century BC. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the city was ruled by Ostrogoths, Franks, and the Venetians, as each succeeded the other in ruling the region. The first arrival of the Slavs in the environs of the town dates to the 7th century. The history of the city continued to reflect its location and significance, like that of the region, in the redrawing of ...

| | | | | 1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Sadducee - Legendary origin Josephus relates nothing concerning the origin of the Sadducees; he knows only that the three "sects" - the Pharisees, Essenes, and Sadducees — dated back to "very ancient times" (Ant. xviii. 1, § 2), which point to a time prior to John Hyrcanus (ib. xiii. 8, § 6) or the Maccabean war (ib. xiii. 5, § 9).
Among the rabbis of the second century the following legend circulated: Antigonus of Soko, successor of Simon the Just, the last of the "Men of the Great Synagogue," and consequently living at the time of the influx of Hellenisti ...

| | | | | 1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Dead Sea scrolls - Discovery
Dead Sea scrolls - Cave 1.
The modern journey of the Dead Sea Scrolls from the Bedouin who discovered them to the International Team later assembled to begin reconstruction and translation is perhaps as mysterious and remarkable as the scrolls themselves. It begins, perhaps unexpectedly, with a sheep.
The date is unclear, and suggestions have varied throughout the 1930s and '40s as alternatives to the more accepted date of 1947. Probably in early 1947, Mohammed Ahmed el-Hamed (nicknamed edh-Dhib, "the wolf ...

"...the early Fathers lived in expectation of our Lord's speedy return. . . . They distinguish between a first resurrection of the saints and a second or general resurrection. These they supposed would be separated by a period of a thousand years, during which Christ should reign over the saints in Jerusalem. . . . While the church was alternately persecuted and ...

| | | | | 1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Ur- - Examples Note that not all German nouns starting with Ur- follow this pattern, for instance, Urlaub (vacation, holiday), Urteil (verdict), or Urin (urine) have different etymologies and altogether different meanings.
There is also an adjective uralt ("very old") that has existed for a long time. Recently, however, the prefix ur- has been used productively, especially by young speakers, to create countless neologisms. New words include the colloquialisms urfad ("very boring") and urgeil an ...

| | | | | | 1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Solar system in astrology - Uranus Main article:Uranus (astrology)
For some modern Western astrologers, the planet Uranus is the ruling planet of Aquarius. Manilius was unaware of the planet's existence, because it was discovered only in 1781 by Sir William Herschel. Modern interpretation associates Uranus with the principles of genius, new and unconventional ideas, discoveries, inventions, radical politics. Around the period of discovery in 1781, the idea of democracy and the human rights was prevalent, with the breakaway of the US from England a ...

Modern western astrologers associate the planet Neptune with illusion, deception, religions, spirituality, the mass media, music, drugs, extreme sensitivity, psychic phenomena and altered mental states. The discovery of Neptune in 1846 coincided with the discovery of anesthetics and hypnotism around this period.
For some astrologers, Neptune is the ruling planet of Pisces. Prior to the discovery of Neptune, Jupiter was considered the ruler of Pisces, and some modern astrologers consider J ...

| | | | | 1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Priestly source - The dating of the Priestly text P is considered by the documentary hypothesis to have been written at a time after the fall of the northern kingdom.
Early theories asserted that P was written after the Babylonian exile, claiming that P appears to have been written after the Prophets ceased (since it doesn't mention Prophets, and the Prophets don't mention P); the references to a tabernacle was read as a coded reference to the temple, intended to support the priesthood and the new temple (as there is no other reference to either old or ...

| | | | | 1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Solar system in astrology - Pluto Main article:Pluto (astrology)
To some modern western astrologers, Pluto is the ruling planet of Scorpio. Called "the great renewer", Pluto is considered to represent the part of a person that destroys in order to renew. A commonly used keyword for Pluto is "transformation." Many (traditional and modern) astrologers do not use Pluto as a ruling planet but do use the planet for chart interpretation and predictive work.
Pluto is also associated with extreme power and corruption and the discovery of Pluto in 1930 coincided ...

| | | | | 1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Priestly source - Nature of the Priestly text This source is thought to have written the majority of the book of Leviticus, as well as stories that parallel those in J (the Jahwist text) and in E (the Elohist text).
P emphasises the position of the priesthood and of Aaron, and always presents Aaron as being present when Moses does something on God's behalf, and states that it is Aaron's staff that God works miracles through, rather than Moses'. P also denigrates Moses' ability to continue to perform as leader by stating that, on descent from having become close to God at the moun ...

| | | | | 1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Solar system in astrology - Modern Planets Asteroids and Comets While some astrologers trace the roots of astrology to ancient Babylonia, people from those times knew only of the five naked-eye planets, plus the Sun and Moon. Astronomers have since discovered many bodies that are included in the considerations of some astrologers, and some that are not.
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are relatively modern planets; Pluto was discovered in the twentieth century. Three new planet-sized bodies, Sedna, Quaoar, and 2003-UB313 ("Xena"), have been discovered in th ...

| | | | | 1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Alexander the Great - Alexander's character Modern opinion on Alexander has run the gamut from the idea that he believed he was on a divinely-inspired mission to unite the human race, to the view that he was a megalomaniac bent on world domination. Such views tend to be anachronistic, however, and the sources allow for a variety of interpretations. Much about Alexander's personality and aims remains enigmatic.
Alexander is remembered as a legendary hero in Europe and much of both Southwest Asia and Central Asia, where he is known as Iskander or Iskandar Zulkarnain ...

| | | | | 1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Bandhavgarh National Park - The terrain The terrain is of great rocky hills rising sharply from the swampy and densely forested valley bottoms. The finest of these hills is Bandhavgarh, sided with great cliffs and eroded rocks. On the highest point stands Bandhavgarh Fort, thought to be some 2,000 years old.
Scattered throughout the park, and particularly around the fort, are numerous caves containing shrines and ancient Sanskrit inscriptions. The caves also serve as a nursery for the cubs of the most famous of its animals- the tiger. One big reason why the survival rate of ...

| | | | | 1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Alexander the Great - Alexander's legend Alexander was a legend in his own time. His court historian Callisthenes portrayed the sea in Cilicia as drawing back from him in proskynesis. Writing after Alexander's death, another participant, Onesicritus, went so far as to invent a tryst between Alexander and Thalestris, queen of the mythical Amazons. When Onesicritus read this passage to his patron, Alexander's general and later King Lysimachus, Lysimac ...

| | | | | 1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Bandhavgarh National Park - Past History Bandhagarh National Park is a Park with a rich historical past. Prior to becoming a national park, the forests around Bandhavgarh had long been maintained as a Shikargah, or game preserve, of the Maharajas and their guests.
In 1947 Rewa State was merged with Madhya Pradesh; Bandhavgarh came under the regulations of Madhya Pradesh. The Maharaja of Rewa still retained the hunting rights. No special conservation measures were taken until 1968, when the areas were constituted as a national park. Since then, numerous steps have been taken to retain ...

| | | | | 1st century AD: Encyclopedia II - Alexander the Great - Ancient sources The ancient sources for Alexander's life are, from the perspective of ancient history, relatively numerous. Alexander himself left only a few inscriptions and some letter-fragments of dubious authenticity, but a large number of his contemporaries wrote full accounts. The key contemporary historians are considered Callisthenes, his general Ptolemy, Aristobulus, Nearchus and Onesicritus. Another influential account was penned by Cleitarchus, who, while not a direct witness of Alexander's expedition, used the sources which had just been publish ...

In Western astrology, Saturn is the Ruling Planet of Capricorn. According to Manilius, Saturn is sad, morose and cold, and presides over the left leg. It is associated with the principles of limitation, restrictions, boundaries, reality, crystallizing and structures. Before the discovery of Uranus, Saturn was also the ruling planet of Aquarius; however, many astrologers still use Saturn as the planetary ruler of both Capricorn and Aquarius. Saturn is called "the Bringer Of Old Age" and is conside ...
