Feels Like Home To Me.
There’s something in your eyes, Makes me wanna lose myself. Makes me wanna lose myself, In your arms. There’s something in your voice, Makes my heart beat fast. Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life. And if you knew how lonely my life has been, And how long I’ve been so alone. And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along, And change my life the way you’ve done. It feels like home to me. It feels like home to me. It feels like I’m all the way back where I come from. It feels like home to me. It feels like home to me. It feels like I’m all the way back where I belong. A window breaks down a long dark street, And a siren wails in the night. But I’m alright, cause I have you here with me, And I can almost see the dark, there is light Well if you knew how much this moment means to me, And how long I’ve waited for your touch. And if you knew how happy you are making me, I never thought that I’d love anyone so much. It feels like home to me. It feels like home to me. It feels like I’m all the way back where I come from. It feels like home to me. It feels like home to me. It feels like I’m all the way back where I belong.. It feels like I’m all the way back where I came from.

You canlocate the Cashel Library building, situated on Friar Street, Lady’s Well, Cashel, Co. Tipperary, HERE. (G487+RX) Please Note: For this free event booking is essential to Tel. No.:- 062, 63825
[Note: An Assyriologist is a person who specializes in the archaeological, historical, cultural and linguistic study of Assyria and the rest of ancient Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq). The word Assyriologist derived from Assyriology, the study of the culture, history, and archaeological remains of ancient Assyria]
Ancient symbols on a 2,700-year-old temple, which have long baffled experts, have now been explained by the aforementioned Dr Worthington.
A sequence of ‘mystery symbols’ were located on view at temples in various locations in the ancient city of Dūr-Šarrukīn, present day Khorsabad, Iraq, which was once ruled by Assyria’s King Sargon II, (721-704 BC).
Late 19th century drawings of the eagle and bull symbols first published by French excavator Victor Place. From New York Public Library.
The sequence of five symbols, a lion, eagle, bull, fig-tree and plough, were first made known to the modern world, through drawings published by French excavators in the late nineteenth century. Since then, there has been a spate of ideas about the symbols and what they possibly might mean.
Same have been compared to Egyptian hieroglyphs, understood to be reflections of possibly imperial might, and suspected to represent the said king’s name – but how?
Dr Worthington (Trinity’s School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies) has proposed a new solution in a paper published first last April, in the Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research.
At this completely free event at Cashel Library the public can meet Dr Worthington tomorrow morning and learn at first hand his solution to solving the mystery of these hieroglyphs.
