The Albanian Handprint on Tel Dor's History

Uncovering the Truth: The Albanian Origins of Tel Dor

Introduction

Tel Dor, an archaeological site on Israel's Mediterranean coast, has been shrouded in mystery regarding its name's origins. Traditional accounts attribute the name "Dor" to Hebrew, meaning "generation" or "dwelling." However, a closer examination reveals a more compelling etymology.

The Albanian Connection

The Albanian language holds the key to unlocking the true origins of Tel Dor's name. The word "dorë" in Albanian means "hand." Remarkably, the geographical shape of Tel Dor, with its landmass extending into the sea, resembles a hand.

Etymological Analysis

The name "Dor" can be directly linked to the Albanian "dorë" (hand). This etymology is reinforced by the site's unique geography, which would have inspired the ancient Albanian speakers to name the place accordingly.

Challenging Traditional Accounts

Traditional etymologies proposing a Hebrew origin for "Dor" are based on incomplete information. The name "Dor" predates Greek and Roman influences, and its connection to the Albanian language reveals a more ancient and accurate origin.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the name "Tel Dor" has its roots in the Albanian language, specifically in the word "dorë" (hand). This etymology not only challenges traditional accounts but also highlights the importance of considering the Albanian language in historical and linguistic research. By uncovering the truth about Tel Dor's name, we gain a deeper understanding of the complex history and cultural exchange that shaped the region.

Nephilim

N 'eh - Ph 'ih- L 'ee- M / Nepheeleem Zacharia Sitchin (July 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010) wrote the " Nephilim " (נְפִילִים) is derived from “nafàl" and means “fall". The term Nephilim occurs in Genesis 6:1-4, describing the point of time when three things began: men began to increase in number, came into existence the daughters of men , and the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. Is the "nephillim" really only a Hebrew word? That question is very subtle, however I think it has been more a limit of thinking for linguists rather than a serious argument. Let's begin first with the probable meaning the linguists think it is. We know that the " fall" in every language means moving downward from a higher position involuntarily, usually by an accident, which maybe was the reason why Michael S. Heiser, PhD candidate, Department of Hebrew and Semitic Studies , University of Wisconsin...

Word creation. The "D" letter origin and the "D" pictogram rule of the word creation.

In this article I will cover the origin of the letter D letter, and the pictogram concept of the word creation. It was my first discovery of the word creation. In this blog I will give my discoveries, the rules of word creation of the European languages. Multiple theories exist as to how language first originated. Nobody is sure which one is true.

Could there have been a time on the earth that we all spoke one language? If so, what is the oldest language in the world? So what was the first language? Discovering the first language that people spoke is difficult because so many languages died and were considered lost in history. However, ancient languages still survive until today; these languages may have been transformed a lot but their old origins may be traceable. Written languages existed but this does n...

Total positional tolerance at material condition

Total positional tolerance at material condition (Hole) Suppose the Ø 1.005 / 1.010 hole is inspected and there are six parts with different ID dimensions. Their actual sizes checked with run out methods give that their actual axis is to be .006” over and up from the true position even though they have different actual ID’s. We want to know which part is within true position tolerance at MMC. Parts to be acceptable require some calculation when is used the run out method. In GD&T, maximum material condition (MMC) refers to a hole that contains the greatest amount of material. To understand and memorize simply and logically the concept, I suppose that you have a part designed as a square with one hole in the center, Ø 1.005 / 1.010 . You have produced just 5 parts and measured their holes. The hole of part #1 is on the low side of its tolerance Ø 1.005" and the hole of part #5 is on high sid...
