Manda Formation
The Manda Formation (also known as the Manda Beds) is a Middle Triassic (Anisian?) or possibly Late Triassic (Carnian?) Formation (stratigraphy), geologic formation in Tanzania. It preserves fossils of many terrestrial vertebrates from the Triassic, including some of the earliest Dinosauromorpha, dinosauromorph archosaurs. The formation is often considered to be Anisian in age according to general tetrapod biochronology hypotheses and correlations to the Cynognathus Assemblage Zone, ''Cynognathus'' Assemblage Zone of South Africa. However, some recent studies cast doubt to this age, suggesting that parts deposits may actually be younger (Carnian) in age. History of study One of the first to study rocks of the Manda Formation was British geologist G. M. Stockley. In 1932, Stockley explored the geology of the Ruhuhu Basin in Tanzania. He called a series of layers dating from the Late Carboniferous to the Middle Triassic the Songea Series and divided it into eight units labelled K1- ...

It is best known for its implication within Gnosticism, where it signifies a spiritual knowledge or insight into humanity's real nature as divine, leading to the deliverance of the divine spark within humanity from the constraints of earthly existence.

Manda (Mandaeism)
In Mandaeism, manda () is the concept of gnosis or spiritual knowledge. Mandaeans stress salvation of the soul through secret knowledge (gnosis) of its divine origin. Mandaeism "provides knowledge of whence we have come and whither we are going." Etymology On the basis of cognates in other Aramaic dialects, Semiticists such as Mark Lidzbarski and Rudolf Macúch have translated the term ''manda'' as "knowledge" (cf. ''mandaʻ'' in Dan. 2:21, 4:31, 33, 5:12; cf. ''maddaʻ'', with characteristic assimilation of /n/ to the following consonant, medial -''nd''-, hence becoming -''dd''-). In his 1965 Mandaic handbook, Macúch suggests that due to the special religious use of the word, -n- was added in order to make it unique from other words with the same root. Derived terms Mandaeism ('having knowledge') comes from the Mandaic word ''manda'', meaning "knowledge". Mandaean priests formally refer to themselves as ''Naṣuraia'' ( Nasoraeans), meaning guardians or possessors of secr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
