Download or read book The Cimmerians written by Kelly Mass and published by Efalon Acies. This book was released on 2023-12-13 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cimmeria, a bygone landmass comprising a series of microcontinents or terranes, detached from Gondwana in the Southern Hemisphere and merged with Eurasia in the Northern Hemisphere. Its expanse encompassed Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tibet, China, Myanmar, Thailand, and Malaysia. During the Carboniferous-early Permian period, Cimmeria separated from the Gondwanan coastlines along the Paleo-Tethys Ocean and, as the Neo-Tethys Ocean emerged behind, the Paleo-Tethys Ocean closed in the Permian. Cimmeria's rift from Gondwana extended from Australia to the eastern Mediterranean, traversing diverse latitudes and climatic zones. In 1883, Austrian paleontologist Melchior Neumayr proposed the concept of a "large, ancient Mediterranean Sea." Analyzing Jurassic faunas, he envisioned an equatorial ocean spanning from India to Central America, separating a substantial northern hemisphere continent from its southern counterpart. Eduard Suess, an Austrian geologist, named this ocean Tethys, differentiating Gondwanaland and a boreal continent. Alfred Wegener, a German geophysicist, presented Pangea as a unified global continent, challenging the idea of an equatorial ocean. Nevertheless, Samuel Warren Carey, an Australian geologist, suggested a wedge-shaped Tethys within Pangea in 1958. Eventually, Cimmeria emerged as a collection of waters divided by north-migrating terranes or continental blocks.

Download or read book On the Trail of the Indo Europeans From Neolithic Steppe Nomads to Early Civilisations written by Harald Haarmann and published by marixverlag. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 3000 years, Indo-European languages have been spoken from India through Persia and into Europe. Where are the origins of this language family? How and when did its different linguistic branches emerge? The renowned historical linguist Harald Haarmann provides a graphic account of what we know today about the origins of Indo-European languages and cultures and how they came to be so widely disseminated. In this impressive study, he succeeds in drawing connections between linguistic findings, archaeological discoveries and the latest research into human genetics and climate history. In addition to linguistic affinities, he shows the economic, social and religious concepts that the early speakers of Indo-European languages had in common all the way from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Indus. Particular attention is devoted to the processes of assimilation with pre-Indo-European languages and civilisations. The result is a fascinating panorama of early "Indo-European globalisation" from the end of the last ice age to the early civilisations in Greece, Italy, Asia Minor, Persia and India.
Download or read book The History of the Ancient Civilizations written by Max Duncker and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-17 with total page 1633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The History of the Ancient Civilizations" in 6 volumes is one of the best-known works by historian Max Duncker. The author's object in regard to the ancient East was not to retrace the beginning of human civilization, but rather to understand and establish the value and extent of those early phases of civilization to which the entire development of the human race goes back. The narrative embraces the independent civilizations of the ancient East which came to exercise a mutual influence on each other. First it follows the realm on the Nile and the kingdoms of Hither Asia as far as the point where the nations of Iran began to influence their destinies, and then it attempts to set forth the peculiar development of the Aryan tribes in the valleys of the Indus and the Ganges, down to the times of Tshandragupta and Asoka. Then follows the history of the Bactrians, the Medes, and the Persians, until the period when the nations of the table-land of Iran were united by Cyrus and Darius with the countries of Western Asia, when Aryan life and Aryan civilization gained the supremacy over the whole region from Ceylon to the Nile and the Hellespont. The forms of life at which the great empires of Asia had arrived are finally brought face to face with the more youthful civilization attained by the Hellenes in their mountain cantons. This new development is followed down to the first great shock when East and West met in conflict, and the Achaemenids sought to crush the Hellenes under the weight of Asia. With the failure of this attempt "The History of Antiquity" concludes.

Download or read book Environment and Habitation around the Ancient Black Sea written by David Braund and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-05-10 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environment and human habitation have become principal topics of research with the growing interest in the Black Sea region in antiquity. This book highlights their interaction around all the coasts of the region, from different perspectives and disciplines. Here, archaeological excavation and survey combine with studies of classical texts, cults, medicine, and more, to explore ancient experiences of the region. Accordingly, the region is examined from external viewpoints, centred in the Mediterranean (Herodotus, the Hippocratics, ancient geographers, and poets), and through local lenses, particularly supplied by archaeology. While familiar disconnects emerge, there is also a striking coherence in the results of these different pathways into the study of local environments, which embrace not only Graeco-Roman settlement, but also a broader range of agricultural and pastoralist activities across a huge landscape which stretches as far afield as ancient Hungary. Throughout, there are methodological implications for research elsewhere in the ancient world. This book shows people in landscapes across a huge expanse, in local reality and in external conceptions, complete with their own agency, ideas, and lifestyles.
