Французский пророк Мишель Нострадамус, предсказывая будущее на многие века вперёд, хотел предупредить человечество о надвигающихся бедствиях. Чтобы не попасть на костёр инквизиции, он завуалировал смысл пророчеств и зашифровал года. Вот уже 500 лет многие пытаются разгадать его загадки, но мало кому удаётся. Периодически появляются сенсационные заявления, что Нострадамус расшифрован, но оказывается это не так. Предлают сложнейшие схемы. Все оказалось намного проще... ...

Во введении к книге рассмативаются общие положения относительно распада многонациональных государств, отношений между народами, их территории и возможной этнической и религиозной близости. В главе 1 рассматривается схожесть и корреляция между словами. Корреляция – это отношение числа общих букв к числу букв более короткого из двух слов. Например, корреляция между словами «Осло» и «Стокгольм» равна 1 (т.е. 100%), поскольку все четыре буквы более короткого слова «Осло» содержатся в слове «Стокгольм». Схожесть между словами учитывает не только корреляцию, но и возможное совпадение первых букв и/или первых гласных, занимают ли общие буквы те же самые позиции и т. д. Например для имён «Бородино» и «Березина» двух мест, где произошли крупнейшие битвы Отечественной Войны 1812-13 года, их корреляция равна всего ½, но общие буквы (в том числе первые) находятся на одних и тех же местах, а чередование гласных с согласными в обоих словах повышает их схожесть. Приводятся примеры того как: 1) похожие имена подталкивают исследователей заниматься изучением похожих проблем; 2) имена диктуют их интересы (кино созд...

Книга сначала напоминает при помощи новых примеров про уже развитые автором в предыдущих книгах методы изучения закономерностей в истории (корреляция между словами, астрологические аспекты, периодичности, определяемые китайским гороскопом и Лунными Узлами). Устанавливаются удивительные совпадения относительно знаков Зодиака французских президентов, немецких канцлеров и генералов Гражданской Войны (1918-1922). Рассматриваются государства необычной формы (Мали, Сомалия, Индия) и эти географические аномалии связываются с межэтническими конфликтами. Проводится анализ астральных тем дат некоторых событий и их основных участников (как например революции 1830 и 1848 года в Европе, путч 1991 года в Москве и т. д.). Находятся исторические, географические и астрологические аналогии между арабскими революциями 2011 года с одной стороны и освободительными движениями в испанских колониях 19 века, революциями 1848 года, Второй Мировой Войной и протестными движениями 1968 года с другой. Книга предназначена для интересующихся историей и/или астрологией....

Сначала напоминается определение корреляции двух слов, а затем оно иллюстрируется именами мест битв и генералов Мировых Войн, а также и городов, имевших особый статус (анклавов, независимых городов и пр.). Астрологические аспекты (по западному гороскопу) между датами (соединение, оппозиция, трин, секстиль, квадратура) рассматриваются в контексте исторических событий и дат рождения и смерти в династии Тюдоров и в кланах Ганди и Кеннеди. Напоминаются определения Лунных Узлов и китайского гороскопа, после чего рассматриваются повторения исторических событий, объясняемые периодом 18.5 лет вращения Лунных Узлов и шестидесятилетним циклом китайского гороскопа. Например, интервал времени между японскими нападениями на Порт-Артур (1904) и Пёрл-Харбор (1941) равен двум периодам вращения Узлов. То же самое верно для восстания ткачей в Лионе (1834) и Парижской Коммуны (1871). Бельгия отделилась от Нидерландов в 1830 году, за 60 лет (1 цикл китайского гороскопа) до отделения Люксембурга и за 120 и 180 лет до моментов, когда Бельгия могла распасться. Изменения территории Османской Империи происходили чаще всего с интервалами времени между ними,...

Les vibrations du nom d'une personne font partie de sa personnalité et deviennent très importantes s'il s'agit d'une figure politique. Les influences planétaires (y compris les années de l'horoscope chinois et la révolution des Nœuds Lunaires) favorisent la répétition périodique dans l'histoire. Dans le livre on donne de nombreux exemples de répétitions historiques expliquées par l'horoscope chinois ou par la période de 18.5 ans de la révolution des Nœuds Lunaires (dont on rappelle les définitions). On considère aussi les aspects astrologiques (conjonctions, oppositions, trigones, carrés et sextiles, ainsi que la période faste de 30 jours qui suit notre anniversaire et la période néfaste de 50 jours qui le précède) et leur rôle pour une réussite ou un échec dans le contexte de l'histoire en donnant des exemples surtout de l'histoire moderne. Le livre pourrait intéresser les passionnés de l'histoire et/ou l'astrologie....

Description Details
Астрологические аспекты (соединения, оппозиции, трины, квадратуры, секстили) между датами двух исторических событий объясняют их схожий или противоположный характер. В качестве примеров приводятся Мюнхенская Конференция 1938 года и даты рождения её участников. Историческая периодичность может быть связана с периодом 60 лет китайского гороскопа (Россия аннексировала Крым в 2014 году, 60 лет спустя решения Хрущёва дать полуостров Украине). Полупериод 30 лет связан с парами событий, сочетающих аналогию с контрастом (Восстание Сипаев 1857 года и независимость Индии 1947 года, 1947=1857+90). Хронология конфликтов в сферах прямого геополитического влияния Германии, Сербии, Ирака, Китая и России рассматривается как продолжение изучения этих сфер в книге В. П. Костов «Правила истории». Сравниваются (исторически и географически) и другие регионы – Южная Европа, Грузия, Южная Америка, Испания и Мексика. Повторение исторических событий или аналогии между ними часто сопровождаются высокой корреляцией между именами их участников или мест битв. Пример – Восстание Боксеров (Boxer) и Война Буров (Boer)....

《反腐無戰線》是一部精彩萬分的懸疑諜戰網路文學，故事之所以精彩，除了人物塑造較為成功之外，關鍵在於本書的時代背景：1950年6月，朝鮮戰爭爆發，美國出兵朝鮮，杜魯門下令第七艦隊進駐臺灣海峽。 故事就是在這一歷史關鍵轉捩點鋪展開來的，局勢對當時的國民黨非常不利，五月舟山、海南相繼淪陷，若戰事無法繼續扭轉，臺灣就岌岌可危了。山雨欲來風滿樓，此刻的臺灣島內民眾要求反腐消除積弊的聲浪此起彼伏，蔣總裁為了挽回民心，同年下令槍斃了陳儀，把228事件的歷史罪責都歸咎於陳儀一人。 為了挽救瀕臨滅亡的國民黨政權，蔣建豐結合當年自己在上海打老虎時期的失敗教訓，重新組建起了一支鐵血救國會，目的是希望鐵血救國會能夠在香港反腐緝私事務中發揮積極作用，找到國民黨內部大老虎們在香港走私洗錢的確鑿證據，自己也好借此機會在島內開展整頓黨務工作，從而肅清黨內的腐敗分子和內奸，淨化黨員隊伍。唯有如此，臺灣島內新的幣值改革才有成功的一線生機。 為了推行新的幣值改革，鐵血救國會不惜遠赴香港搜集情報，然而一場看不見的血雨腥風正在等待著他們，在朝鮮戰爭疑雲密佈下，各路人馬在香港這座彈丸之地粉墨登場，展開了一場你死我活的殊死較量。 故事當中的主人公們又會在香港演繹一段怎樣的傳奇？謝穆瀾又是如何起死回生？面對反腐和幣制改革，梁複生接下去又該何去何從？......留下懸念，期待讀者閱讀。...

Dans le chapitre 1 nous nous intéressons à l’horoscope chinois. (De toutes les sources existantes qui portent sur cette astrologie nous nous contentons de mentionner le livre [7].) Deux énoncés en sont le résultat : 1. Des évènements analogues liés à des changements de paramètres du pouvoir, ou à des acquisitions ou pertes de territoire et/ou de souveraineté, ont lieu souvent dans deux années distantes d’un multiple de 60 ans l’un de l’autre (c’est à dire d’un nombre entier de cycles complets de cet horoscope). « Souvent » veut dire « bien plus souvent que quand cette distance dans le temps n’est pas un multiple de 60 ans ». 2. Une distance dans le temps d’un multiple impair de 30 ans favorise l’apparition de tels évènements, mais à caractère opposé (ou plutôt mélangeant analogie et contraste). Cette apparition est plus fréquente que dans le cas où la distance dans le temps entre les deux évènements n’est pas un multiple impair de 30 ans. Dans le chapitre 2, on compare quatre régions géographiques (la Péninsule Ibérique, l’Italie, la Péninsule Balkanique et la Géorgie) pour observer des similitudes historiques. Puis on ajoute à c...

De toutes les forces naturelles, l’eau semble avoir été la moins généreuse envers Napoléon Bonaparte. C’est logique – il était né sous le signe du Lion, un signe de Feu. Ce n’est pas seulement qu’il ait perdu les batailles sur mer contre l’Angleterre – Aboukir (1798) et Trafalgar (1805). Mais deux de ses défaites sur terre sont liées à la traversée de rivières et à l’impossibilité d’évacuer la totalité de ses troupes – celle de la Bérézina (1812) et celle de Leipzig (1813) où on a fait sauter le pont sur l’Elster trop tôt. Il reste à mentionner aussi la bataille de Waterloo – « water » signifie « eau » en hollandais. A ce propos on peut observer que le nom de son adversaire Arthur Wellesley, duc de Wellington, était un peu mieux en accord avec les vibrations du nom du champ de bataille – sur les huit lettres de « Waterloo », cinq sont contenues dans « Wellington » et cinq dans « Bonaparte », mais les premières lettres de « Waterloo » et « Wellington » sont les mêmes. La ressemblance entre les noms de protagonistes ou lieux historiques est seulement un des thèmes d’intérêt de ce livre qui est la suite du livre [1]. Dans ce derni...

Da es offenbar für die ständig zunehmende Automatisierung keine Grenzen gibt, kann man sich vorstellen, dass Automaten (heuter noch meist als Roboter bezeichnet) sich soweit weiterentwickeln werden, dass ihre Entwicklung von selbst, ohne Mithilfe des Menschen, weitergeht. So gesehen, könnten sie mit der Zeit die Menschen auf der Erde ersetzen. Alles, was der Mensch bisher an Wissen entwickelt hat, könnte dann in den Automaten weit besser aufbewahrt und weiterentwickelt werde. - Die diesbezüglichen überlegungen sind hier zusammengetragen, zum Nutzen aller, die sich schon selbst Gedanken in dieser Richtung gemacht haben....

Description Details
Le livre fait rappel à des approches vers l'analyse des règles de l'histoire (corrélation entre noms, aspects astrologiques, périodicités définies par l'horoscope chinois et les Nœuds Lunaires) développées dans les livres précédents de l'auteur en les illustrant par de nouveaux exemples. On constate des corrélations étonnantes entre les signes astraux des présidents français, des chanceliers allemands et des généraux de la Guerre Civile de Russie (1918-1922). On trouve des états dont la forme géographique présente des anomalies (tels que le Mali, la Somalie, l'Inde etc.) et on associe à cette forme des conflits interethniques. On analyse les thèmes astraux des jours de certains événements historiques et de personnages impliqués dans eux (par exemple les révolutions de 1830 et 1848, le putsch de 1991 à Moscou etc.). On trouve des coïncidences astrologiques, géographiques et historiques entre les révolutions arabes de 2011, les guerres d'indépendance dans les colonies espagnoles, la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, les révolutions de 1848 et les mouvements contestataires de 1968. Le livre est adressé aux intéréssés à l'histoire et/ou l'astro...

Description Details
Dans la préface on considère des généralités liées à la chute d'états multiethniques, les rapports entre les peuples, leur territoire, leur proximité ethnique et religieuse. Dans le chapitre 1 on considère la ressemblance et la corrélation entre les mots. La corrélation est le rapport entre le nombre de lettres en commun et le nombre de lettres dans le plus court des deux mots. Par exemple, la corrélation entre ``Oslo'' et ``Stockholm'' est de 100% car toutes les quatre lettres du plus court des deux mots (notamment, ``Oslo'') sont contenues dans ``Stockholm''. La ressemblance tient compte non seulement de la corrélation, mais aussi si les premières lettres sont les mêmes, si les premières voyelles sont les mêmes, si les lettres en commun sont dans les mêmes positions etc. Par exemple les noms des deux endroits ou les plus importantes des batailles de la campagne de Napoléon Bonaparte en Russie ont eu lieu sont ``Borodino'' et ``Bérézina'' (les historiens français préfèrent parler de la bataille de la Moscova, pas celle de Borodino). La corrélation est seulement de 1/2, mais les lettres en commu...

Description Details
Astrological aspects (conjunctions, oppositions, trines, squares, sextiles) between dates of two historical events explain their similar or opposite character. This is illustrated by the example of the Munich Conference (1938) and the birth dates of its participants. Historical repetitions connected with the 60 years period of the Chinese horoscope are considered (Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, 60 years after the peninsula was given to Ukraine by order of Khrushchev). The half-period of 30 years is connected with couples of events combining analogy with contrast (e.g. the Sepoy uprising of 1857 and India's independence of 1947=1857+90). The chronology of the conflicts in the spheres of direct geopolitical influence of Germany, Serbia, Iraq, China and Russia is examined as a continuation of the comparative study of these spheres performed in V. P. Kostov, "The Rules of History". Other regions are also compared historically and geographically - South Europe, Georgia, South America, Spain and Mexico. Repetition of historical events or their analogy is often accompanied by high correlations between names of participants or places of bat...

Definition. Suppose that two words contain respectively m and n letters, where n is greater than or equal to m. Suppose that they have exactly p letters in common counted with the possible repetitions. Then the correlation between the two words is equal to p/m. For instance, the correlation between the words « Italy » and « Sicily » is 3/5 (one has m=5, n=6 and p=3). The one between the words « Aix » and « Paris » is 2/3 (m=3, n=5, p=2). In any case the correlation remains a purely formally defined quantity. When the resemblance between two words is discussed one takes into account also the fact whether the first letters (eventually the first vowels) are the same and/or whether the letters in common are in the same order. Then comes the delicate question about spelling and pronunciation. This might raise the question whether the letters « s » and « ç » should be distinguished or not. But let's illustrate first the notions of correlation and resemblance by some examples. The resemblance between the names of (Aimé-Joseph) Darnand, head of the French Militia during the German occupation in World War II, and of the admiral (Jean L...

The book recalls previously developed approaches toward history based on correlation of words, astrological aspects and periodicity defined by the Chinese horoscope and the Lunar Nodes. They are illustrated by new examples. Astonishing correlations are found among the astral signs of the French presidents, the German chancellors and the generals of the Russian Civil War (1918-1922). The strange form of some states such as Mali, Somalia, India and others is associated to inter-ethnic conflicts taking place in these countries. The astral themes of certain historical events and of their participants are also analyzed (such as the revolutions of 1830 and 1848, the Berlin Congress, the putsch of 1991 in Moscow). Astrological, historical and geographical coincidences are found between the Arab revolutions of 2011 on the one side and the revolutions of 1848, the independence movements in the Spanish colonies, the social movements of 1968 and World War II on the other. The book is addressed to persons interested in History and/or astrology....

In Europe, for centuries, fish and other seafood (relatively rare in inland areas), have become the traditional meat “substitute”. Now here in Louisiana, it is possible to “substitute” fish and seafood for meat virtually every day. Combine this with the variety of cooking styles and techniques we have learned from our Indian and African neighbors, as well as our own - not inconsiderable - French culinary heritage, it is hardly a sacrifice for us to consume these delicious meals as a method of honoring our religious convictions and practices. All of this being said, is is not the place of this lowly kitchen friar to question the wisdom of Holy Mother Church. ...

Repeated planetary influences (including the 60 years period of the Chinese horoscope and the 18.5 years revolution period of the Lunar Nodes whose definition is recalled) stimulate periodical repetition of historical events. In the books many examples of such repetitions are given. The resemblances between names of generals having participated in the World Wars and the ones between names of enclaves and cities that have been granted a special status are analyzed. In terms of astrology we consider the aspects (conjunctions, oppositions, trines, squares), the favourable period of 30 days that follows one's anniversary and the unfavourable one of 50 days that precedes it and their roles for the success or failure in the context of history. The examples are taken mainly from modern history. The book is addressed to people interested in history and/or astrology....

During the First Battle of the Marne (1914) the danger was real that Paris could be captured by the German army. The situation demanded a good concordance on behalf of the combined Franco-British staff so that the attack should be repulsed and the front stabilized. The names of the commanders give us a key to at least part of the answer to the question why the allied forces succeeded to defend the French capital. Here's the list of their names: Joseph Joffre; Franchet d'Espèray; Michel Maunory; Ferdinand Foch; Joseph Gallieni; Ferdinand de Langle. Sir John French; The presence of two “Joseph” and two “Ferdinand” is to be noticed at once. It seems that destiny had chosen persons that are placed under the influence of the same vibrations to have to accomplish the same task at a crucial moment. However it should be said at once that the relationship between the two Josephs was the one of conflicts. Thus to be in good concordance (by the vibrations of ones' names) to serve the homeland does not mean necessarily to be in good relationship with one another. The first name “John” has a correlation of ¾ with “Joseph” and the...

Description Details
Most countries and peoples of Europe and Asia are grouped in the spheres of direct geopolitical influence of Russia, Germany, Serbia, Iraq and China. Repetition of relationship (defined by ethnic and religious proximity) between countries from these spheres are observed. Thus there are two Russian (German, Serbian, Chinese) speaking countries - Russia and Belarus (Germany and Austria, Serbia and Montenegro, China and Taiwan). The Iberian and Balkan Peninsulas exhibit similar political geography and history. Important events (e.g. World Wars) occur in couples. In American and Russian history the number 12 is crucial for its understanding (6 couples of most important wars in the former and 12 communist and post-communist rulers in the latter, the events of post-communism repeating the ones of communism). If a (post)-communist Russian leader has the same name as a former Russian tsar or prince, then a repetition of events takes place - the names Boris (Godunov) and Mikhail (Romanov) are connected with the Time of Troubles, Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin mark the perestroika, its modern version. The book is addressed to those inter...

It is natural to consider the following countries as belonging or having once belonged to the zone of direct geopolitical influence of Germany: Austria, Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, The Netherlands and Denmark. The reasons (except in most of the cases to be direct neighbours) are the following ones: - some of them (namely, Austria, Hungary, parts of Poland, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia and Slovenia) have belonged to the Austro- Hungarian Empire, where German was the official language; - others (France, Belgium, Denmark, Lithuania and Italy) have annexed after World War I territories peopled at least in part by ethnic Germans; these were the German territories respectively Alsace and Lorraine for France, the cantons Eupen and Malmedy for Belgium (today they constitute its German speaking linguistic zone), Northern Schleswig for Denmark, the port Memel (Klaipeda) for Lithuania; Italy has annexed the German speaking Southern Tyrol belonging up to then to Austria-Hungary; today this is one of the five Italian regions...

On preservation of the Western rights, freedoms and quality of life in 21st century and beyond

Excerpt Details
Systemic approach to life of the highly cultured people provides them with higher level of happiness simply because their lives are better organized, risks are covered, reserves are maintained, dangers avoided, contacts established and so on so forth. Culture is not something that comes only with DNA, but genetic pre-disposition towards culture exists without doubt. Otherwise there would be no examples of people raising themselves above the scum they were born in and reaching high levels of society. Understanding of the elements of high culture, its systemic approach to organizing one’s life, can be practiced by virtually everybody. One just needs to want to elevate themselves and work towards that goal, which may involve getting better training and education, moving to a different neighborhood, getting a different job, spending time on more important things rather than on leisure, quitting drinking and smoking, refusing drugs, taking care of health, concentrating on the upbringing of the children and helping them in their adult life, babysitting grand-children, watching over quality of food supply and keeping the family ...

Have you ever wondered what civilisation brought the Bluestones 200 miles from Wales to Stonehenge? Or the reason why they undertook this monumental task? Then this book is a must for you. Robert John Langdon takes you back 10,000 years to a time when the last Ice Age melted leaving a series of smaller islands and peninsulas and not the island of Britain we see today. By revising accepted Archaeological, Geological and Topological findings, Langdon has been able to produce simple but astonishing hypotheses with compelling scientific evidence, which shows that these monuments are five thousand years older than we currently believe and built by a 'lost civilisation' the ancient Greek philosopher Plato once wrote about....

Description Details
When in the , distant yesterday of hawaii?s history, the great navigator and monarch of the hawaiian race, the prince kulani - kuil - hawaiiloa, first brought his people over the wide desert of the sea of kanaloa (the pacific ocean) from the continent of kahiki-ku to found a new domain on these islands, he named the second largest island of the hawaiian group haere tonu, which means “out of the darkness and depths of the sea.” Many centuries were to pass before the people of hawaii were to call this island by the name of maui in honor of maui-loa, the first independent sovereign of that island. Today the name of haere tonu is forgotten; it lives only in the classical chats of ancient hawaii. For almost fourteen centuries following the arrival of hawaii-loa, all of the islands of the hawaiian under a sovereignty of one monarch who was always a direct descendant in the senior line of that first hawaiiloa. Although each of the islands had its own district chifs—some of whom were extremely powerful—yet did all of these chiefs pay homage to and acknowledge the who ruled on the island of hawaii. The at most of those ancient hawaiian...

Since the untimely death of the sacred Prince William Charlcs Lunalilo, last island monarch of the Kamehameha Dynasty, about 80 years ago, there have arisen among the Hawaiians a great number of controversies involving the royal and noble genealogies, and pedigrees. In other instances, stories have been created of the most fantastic nature to distort utterly the true personalities of the Hawaiian kings and princes. For countless centuries the great House of Keawe had ruled over the island Kingdom of Hawaii. In 1782 at the great Battle of Mokuohai, a prince of the junior line of the House of Keawe, Kamehameha the First, established his authority and government and enthroned his dynasty....

Throughout the entire history of Hawaii, there have been only three queens who ruled in their own sovereign right. These …ere first, the fabulously beautiful Kaikilani (Heaven?s Portion), second, the powerful and imperious Keakealani (The Blinding Light of Heaven), and third, Liliuokalani, the last queen of Hawaii. The second of these, the Queen Keakealani, became the mother of the great Prince Keawe. Keakealani was an unusual woman. At a time of masculine supremacy, she took the reins government into her own sure hands and exercised a rigid control over her realm. She led her own armies into battle and quickly quelled any attempt of the powerful chiefs of the great Hawaii districts to overthrow her....

Writing in the nineteenth century, Hawaiian historian Kepelino said, "However diligently the foreigner seeks, he cannot find all. He gets a fragment here and there and goes home." That is very true. I have read what is available, but changes came so rapidly after 1778 that much of the information about the life and customs of long-ago Hawaii is lost. My greatest help has come from Mary Kawena Pukui. As a little girl in Kau, on the island of Hawaii, she lived with a wise grandmother who told her much about the old ways and beliefs. Young as she was, she listened with deep interest and felt herself a part of the life of the early days. Later, as a translator for Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, she enlarged her knowledge. I hope this book will kindle in boys and girls, and in interested adults, the feeling which Mrs. Pukui has passed on to me about life in old Hawaii and will increase their respect for the wisdom and skill of the Hawaiian people. Like other peoples living close to the earth, the early Hawaiians were constantly aware of the creative forces underlying and permeating their daily lives. To the gods who emerged from this a...

Hawaiian words used in the text, other than proper names, are identified through the use of italic type. These words are usually defined in the sentence in which they are first used or in the Glossary at the back of the book or both. Most Hawaiian words, like most words in English and other languages, can have more than one meaning depending on how and where they are used. Many Hawaiian words form plurals through the use of preceding articles or by changes in the diacritics (accent markings) within the words. For example, kahuna is a singular form and kahuna is a plural form. So sometimes it appears one way and sometimes another....

With the passing of Kamehameha III came a new era-one bringing Prince Alexander Liholiho to the throne as Kamehameha IV. The new king, like his predecessors, had great love for his people and set about to help them. And, like those kings before him, he worked and learned to blend the old ways with new ways. Here is the story of the fourth monarch of Hawaii....

Why after thirty years, should Beckwith’s Hawaiian Mythology be reprinted? Why, for the last twenty-five years, have scholars and amateurs alike sought for either new or used copies of this book which has become a rarity? To begin with, it was the first, and is still the only, scholarly work which charts a pathway through the hundreds of books and articles, many of them obscure and scarce, and through the little-known manuscripts that record the orally transmitted myths, legends, traditions, folktales, and romances of the Hawaiian people. Beckwith herself saw it as a “guide to the native mythology of Hawaii” (p. xxxi), and by mythology she meant “the whole range of story-telling” (p.2). Secondly, from the vantage point of Hawaiian oral narrative the book directs the reader into similar material from peoples elsewhere in Polynesia who are closely related to the Hawaiians, reminding him of relevant narratives from areas west of Polynesia and occasionally even east of Hawaii. The southern Pacific comparison Beckwith offers as “an important link in tracing routes of intercourse during the period of migration of related Polynesian groups...

This guide to the native mythology of Hawaii has grown out of a childhood and youth spent within sound of the hula drum at the foot of the domelike House of the Sun on the windy island of Maui. There, wandering along its rocky coast and sandy beaches, exploring its windward gorges, riding above the cliffs by moonlight when the surf was high or into the deep forests at midday, we were aware always of a life just out of reach of us latecomers but lived intensely by the kindly, generous race who had chanced so many centuries ago upon its shores. Not before 1914 did the actual shaping of the work begin. The study covers, as any old Hawaiian will discover, less than half the story, but it may serve to start specific answers to the problems here raised and to distinguish the molding forces which have entered into the recasting of such traditional story-telling as has survived the first hundred years of foreign contact. To the general student of mythology the number and length of proper names in an unfamiliar tongue may seem confusing. Hawaiian proper names are rarely made up of a single word but rather form a series of words recalling s...

Lili?uokalani was born on September 2, 1838, to the High Chief Caesar Kapa?akea and High Chiefess Keohokalole. She was named Lili?u (Smarting) Kamaka?eha (The Sore Eye). It may seem as if the baby had an eye problem when she was born, but this was not so. The High Chiefess Kina?u, who gave Lili?u her name, was the one with the sore eye. Besides Lili?u Kamaka?eha, her Christian name was Lydia, a name given her at her baptism. It was not until years later that she was called Lili?uokalani....

The monarchy period in Hawaii spanned eighty-three years from 1810 to 1893, closing with the overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani. Beginning with Kamehameha the Great and ending with Liliuokalani, this royal group included seven kings and one queen. Each monarch ruled for a period of time and in that time saw important changes take place in Hawaii. With the changes came many problems. With the problems came the challenge to seek solutions. Each ruler dealt with the changes and problems in a different way. This is the story of one of the ruling monarchs of Hawaii, King William Charles Lunalilo....

This book of genealogies, Kumuhonua, was copied from the Honolulu Archives, Book #44, back in the eighties. This book contains mostly ancient genealogies, with some lines leading into the 19th century. You will not find very many modern family connections in this book. In this book, Kumuhonua, you will find pieces of information not available in other published genealogies. For example, Fornander states that he doesn't know from which family descends Kapoleia Kauila, the wife of Kalanikukuma. Her genealogy is included in this book. Also, see the marriage between ‘Umikanaha (kaikaina of Kuwalupakumoku) and Kamaleamaka(kaikuahine/kaikua’ana of Piliwale), thus tying the Kalona branch of O’ahu to the ali’i of Kaua’i. This type of information is valuable for historians of ancient Hawai'i. So much of this kind of information is still available at the Honolulu Archives, Bishop Museum and other libraries. This book was chosen mostly because it was easy to read, as the old style of writing is very difficult to read; but also because it had some good stuff. I'm hoping that more people will post genealogies on Ulukau for educational ...

This volume, compiled at the request of Scott Atkinson on behalf of The Nature Conservancy, includes excerpts from selected historical records and oral history interviews with elder kamaaina of the Kapalilua region of South Kona on the island of Hawaii. The area traditionally identified as Kapalilua extends from the Kealia-Hookena section of Kona to Kaulanamauna, situated on the Kona boundary of Kau, and includes the lands of Papa, Hoopuloa, and Milolii (Figure 1). The archival-historical research and oral history interviews conducted for this study were performed in a manner consistent with Federal and State laws and guidelines for such studies. Among the pertinent laws and guidelines are the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended in 1992 (36 CFR Part 800); the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's “Guidelines for Consideration of Traditional Cultural Values in Historic Preservation Review” (ACHP 1985); National Register Bulletin 38, “Guidelines for Evaluating and Documenting Traditional Cultural Properties” (Parker and King 1990); the Hawaii State Historic Preservation Statue (Chapter 6E), which afford...

Description Details
The island of hawaii dominated the culture of the northernmost of the polynesian groups, even before the high chief kamehameha conquered the other islands and formed a united kingdom in the first decade of the nineteenth century. This truly great warrior, diplomat and ruler was born in kohala, but was reared, trained and toughened for his mission in ka-u, the southern and most rugged district of hawaii, where his mother, the high chieftainess kekui-a-poiwa, isolated herself to protect her child against the enmity of rival claimants to highest rank and power. The cultural dominance of hawaii was doubtless a consequence of size, richness of forests and soils, diversity of environmental conditions and hence variety and quantity of population. The dynamic temperament of the old polynesian stock of the “big island,” as it is affectionately called today, was probably partly a consequence of the grandeur of the scene, where the great ocean and the pacifics greatest volcanoes respectively formed the outlook and the background of every locality in which hawaiians of hawaii were born and reared, lived and loved and hated, laboured, planted, h...

Two centuries ago, when Hawaiian prophets were still honored for their insights, Kapihe was one of the most gifted. A kahuna or priest in the court of Kamehameha I and a descendant of the famed Napua line, he had prophesied the downfall of the kapu, the ancient religious system and the 1819 Battle of Kuamo?o which decided the course of modern Hawaiian history. One of Kapihe's last great prophecies may have been the one recorded in the Journal of the missionary William Ellis. Although Ellis branded him a "false prophet," he still thought enough of his calling to preserve for posterity the following prophecy: "Kapihe... informed Tamehameha that when he should die, Kuahiro would take his spirit to the sky, and accompany it to the earth again, when his body would be reanimated and youthful; that he would have his wives, and resume his government in Hawai?i; and that, at the same time, the existing generation would see and know their parents and ancestors, and all the people who had died would be restored to life."1 What did Kapihe mean? Was he referring to the literal resurrection of Kamehameha and his future return to earth, as some...

Civil war was narrowly averted that year when Liliha, the popular widow of Boki, the tragic entrepreneur-chief, was dissuaded from launching an armed revolt against the Regent Kaahumanu. Now a fervent convert to Christianity, Kaahumanu imposed new ns and over the spirit. A miasmal melancholy hung listlessly over the land."...
