Manda Formation
The Manda Formation (also known as the Manda Beds) is a Middle Triassic (Anisian?) or possibly Late Triassic (Carnian?) geologic formation in Tanzania. It preserves fossils of many terrestrial vertebrates from the Triassic, including some of the earliest 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 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-K8. Stockley was also the first to describe fossils from these rocks, n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Manda (Mandaeism)
In Mandaeism, manda ( myz, ࡋࡀࡅࡐࡀ) 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. arc, מַנְדַּע ''mandaʻ'' in Dan. 2:21, 4:31, 33, 5:12; cf. he, מַדַּע ''maddaʻ'', with characteristic assimilation of /n/ to the following consonant, medial -nd- hence becoming -dd-). 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 secret rites and knowledge.
