The Origin and Significance of the Magen David
Laura:
I finally gave up on trying to convert this file to text and copy-paste it here and have, instead, uploaded it to my website so those of you interested in such things can have a look at it. If you read it with the work of Victor Clube in mind, particularly his examination of the ancient origins of astrology, (included in both "The Cosmic Serpent" and "The Cosmic Winter") a whole lot begins to make sense.

GRiM:
I have a .doc and a editable .pdf version of the text. I learned a lot about OCR in the process :) I have uploaded it to this adress: http://drop.io/sott_file

I don't know if anyone cares but I started to enter this into Word, the old fashioned way, trying to be as accurate a rendering as possible, bizarre accent marks and all.
I found most everything, but got stuck trying to reproduce the sub-accent mark under the 'h' in "Sin-ahhe-eriba" in footnote 9.
If an electronic copy of this document would be helpful I will continue, if not, I'll stop as it is a lot of work. In the meantime, if anyone has a clue what that mark is supposed to be, my curiosity is "piqued".

Hi rs,
The copies Laura and GRiM linked to, are electronic copies. Why do you need to make another one? :huh:

Just thought it might help. As I said, if it is pointless, I can fully accept that and "give it up
I do not mean any disrespect to GRiM at all, but his OCR version is, well, an OCR version. And a not particularly good one at that. (Having a background in OCR, I fully appreciate just *how* difficult it is to do a "good" OCR in "the general case", so I offer this as an observation, *not* a criticism).
