Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «Este libro, espléndidamente ilustrado, proporciona una documentación arqueológica que resulta muy difícil de encontrar en otro lugar.» MIRCEA ELIADE, Historia de las religiones En esta obra de referencia, convertida ya en clásica, la profesora Marija Gimbutas reunió las fuentes arqueológicas que le permitieron hablar de una cultura matrifocal y probablemente matrilineal, agrícola y sedentaria, en la Vieja Europa (7000-3500 a. C.), en el área sudeste del continente, es decir, en la cultura pre-indoeuropea, en claro contraste con la cultura proto-indoeuropea, decididamente patriarcal, pastoral, nómada y guerrera, que se impuso en toda Europa en el transcurso de tres olas de infiltración desde la estepa rusa, entre los años 4500 y 2500 a. C. El estudio de las imágenes míticas, de sus signos y símbolos, muestra una persistencia del culto a la diosa, poniéndose de manifiesto la supremacía de aspectos tales como el poder de generar vida y el de la fertilidad.

Download or read book Las Diosas Vivientes written by Marija Gimbutas and published by Obelisco. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Living Goddesses caps off a period of groundbreaking and influential work by one of the foremost scholars of the 20th century. Marija Gimbutas wrote and taught with rare clarity about her original (and initially shocking) interpretation of the European prehistoric civilization Gimbutas contradicted the theories held by representatives of contemporary archeology when he reconstructed the future of goddess-centered cultures that predated historical patriarchal cultures by many thousands of years. This volume, which the author was nearing completion at the time of her death, contains the excerpt of her studies, combined with new discoveries, insights, and analysis. The editor (Miriam Robbins Dexter) has added introductory and concluding comments, summaries, and annotations. The first part of the book is a beautifully illustrated and accessible summary of all of Gimbutas's earlier work on ancient European religion, along with her insights into the roles of men and women in ancient matrilineal cultures. The second part offers knowledge that provides current information about the goddesses, which in many places and in many ways still endure.

Download or read book The History written by Herodotus and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-05-15 with total page 710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Grene, one of the best known translators of the Greek classics, splendidly captures the peculiar quality of Herodotus, the father of history. Here is the historian, investigating and judging what he has seen, heard, and read, and seeking out the true causes and consequences of the great deeds of the past. In his History, the war between the Greeks and Persians, the origins of their enmity, and all the more general features of the civilizations of the world of his day are seen as a unity and expressed as the vision of one man who as a child lived through the last of the great acts in this universal drama. In Grene's remarkable translation and commentary, we see the historian as a storyteller, combining through his own narration the skeletal "historical" facts and the imaginative reality toward which his story reaches. Herodotus emerges in all his charm and complexity as a writer and the first historian in the Western tradition, perhaps unique in the way he has seen the interrelation of fact and fantasy. "Reading Herodotus in English has never been so much fun. . . . Herodotus crowds his fresco-like pages with all shades of humanity. Whether Herodotus's view is 'tragic,' mythical, or merely common sense, it provided him with a moral salt with which the diversity of mankind could be savored. And savor it we do in David Grene's translation."—Thomas D'Evelyn, Christian Science Monitor "Grene's work is a monument to what translation intends, and to what it is hungry to accomplish. . . . Herodotus gives more sheer pleasure than almost any other writer."—Peter Levi, New York Times Book Review
Download or read book Prehistoric Iberia written by Antonio Arnaiz-Villena and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The symposium "Prehistoric Iberia: genetics, anthropology and linguistics" was held in the Circulo de Bellas Artes, Madrid on 16th -17th November 1998. The idea was bringing together specialists who could address not clearly resolved historic and prehistoric issues regarding ancient Iberian and Mediterranean populations, following a multidisciplinary approach. This was necessary in the light of the new bulk of genetic, archeological and linguistic data obtained with the new DNA technology and the recent discoverings in the other fields. Genes may now be easily studied in populations, particularly HLA genes and markers of the mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome. Basques, Iberians, North Africans, Berbers (Imazighen) and Mediterraneans have presently been widely studied. The genetic emerging picture is that Mediterraneans are closely related from West (Basque, Iberians, Berbers) to East (Jews, Lebanese, Cretans); however, Greeks are outliers in all the analyses done by using HLA genes. Anthropologists and archeologists showed how there was no people substitution during the revolutionary Mesolithic-Neolithic transition; in addition, cultural relationships were found between Iberia and predinastic Egypt (EI Badari culture). Basque language translation into Spanish has been the key for relating most Mediterranean extinct languages. The Usko-Mediterranean languages were once spoken in a wide African and European area, which also included parts of Asia. This was the "old language" that was slowly substituted by Eurasian languages starting approximately after the Bronze Age (or 2,000 years BC).

Download or read book Malta Prehistory and Temples written by David H. Trump and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The large stone temple structures on Malta are amongst the earliest such constructions in the world, long before the pyramids were built in Egypt. This super book forms a pictorial record of all the temples on Malta, whilst also providing background information on the social and cultural history of the period. Built between c.3500 and 2500 BC, the temples reflect, and were part of, a period of great development on Malta and Gozo, especially in artistic and architectural terms. This is a clear, well illustrated account of the temple-building period, as well as of what went before and what came after.

Download or read book Technological Choices written by Pierre Lemonnier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological Choices applies the critical tools of archaeology to the subject of technology and its impact on humankind throughout the ages. An examination of the challenges technological innovations present to various cultures, Technological Choices asserts that in any society, such choices are made on the basis of cultural values and social relations, rather than on the inherent benefits in technology itself. Of course, this revolutionary viewpoint has critical implications for contemporary Western societies. Based on case studies covering a wide range of chronologies and geographies, Technological Choices moves rapidly from Neolithic Europe to the modern industrial age, stopping on the way to examine the tribes of Papua, New Guinea, rural Indian and North African societies as well as several European peasant communities. The techniques studied range from the manufacture of stone implements to the development of high-tech transportation devices. With its breadth of subject matter and multidisciplinary approach, Technological Choices offers new insight into the interrelationship between technology and society. Also unprecedented is the book's emphasis on the functional aspects of material culture.
