What is “The Orient”?Remember that, early in the semester, we said we’d study only literature and ideas from the Northeastern Quadrasphere, also called Eurasia. This of course combines two continents:
Europe: “Occident” Asia: “Orient”
Medieval Europeans drew a sharp distinction between what they considered to be the “civilized” West and the “pagan” East:
“Occidental” = Latin for “Western”: Europe, the Americas “Oriental” = Latin for “Eastern”
o “Middle East” – Arabia, Palestine, Persia
Mesopotamia (Gilgamesh) Arabic and Islamic Literatures
o “India” – India, Pakistan, Afghanistan
o “Far East” – China, Japan, Korea, etc.
Indo-European languages spread from Mesopotamia 5000 years ago – north and west to Europe, east to India.
For this reason, many words in the languages of Europe, the Middle East, and India sound similar:
Indo-Euro Greek English Hindi Spanish Germanpitar pater father pita padre Vatermatar mater mother mata madre Mutterkiris ceres cereal siri cereales Korngau bova cow gai vaca Kuhsarpa herpet serpent shabdkosh serpeintestar aster star sitara estrella Stern
But Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and other Asian languages are NOT Indo-European. They come from an entirely different language root.
Can you guess why?
Why? Indo-Europeans couldn’t fly.Here is what the Himalayan Mountain Range looks like from space.
In 1953 Edmund Hillary and Tenzig Norgay become the first human beings to climb Mount Everest – and they needed bottled oxygen.
