This book was released on 2008-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C'est effectuant des recherches sur Maat, la deesse de la justice de l'ancienne Egypte, que j'ai compris combien il etait difficile aux egyptologues de comprendre les vestiges de l'ancienne Egypte, en utilisant uniquement leur esprit conscient. Leur structure mentale ne leur permet pas d'entrer dans la logique des anciens peuples, parce ces derniers avaient une facon de percevoir le monde qui leur est etrangere. Les anciens peuples pouvaient ressentir beaucoup mieux que nous l'energie vitale qui circule dans la nature, autour d'eux, l'interieur d'eux-memes et dans le cosmos. Ils avaient explore les deux aspects du monde -materiel et immateriel-, et leur lois d'interaction. Ils avaient accumule des connaissances qui sont a notre portee dans leurs vestiges, et tout particulierement dans les vestiges juridiques archaiques. Mais elles sont la plupart du temps exprimees dans un langage et une iconographie symboliques, de type onirique qui ne peuvent informer correctement l'esprit rationnel de l'homme moderne. D'ou la necessite pour les chercheurs de se pencher sur les codes de leurs propres reves. C'est lorsque nous revons que nous nous rapprochons le plus de l'univers mental des anciens peuples. En effet, c'est quand nous revons que nous devenons, comme eux, sensibles l'energie vitale, et proccupes par sa preservation, une capacite que nous avons desormais perdue l'etat de veille. Les archeologues trouveront, exposee dans ce livre, une technique unique au monde pour travailler sur leurs reves de facon fructueuse pour leurs recherches. Elle est basee sur plus de 20 ans de recherches personnelles sur les anciens systemes juridiques et sur les connexions entre le reve et la realite. Je suis heureuse de partager ici l'exprience que j'ai acquise dans ces domaines, afin qu'elle puisse etre utile a tous les chercheurs professionnels et autres personnes intelligentes qui desirent faire progresser notre comprehension de l'ancienne Egypte et d'autres anciennes civilisations, et qui n'ont pu assister mes seminaires.

Download or read book The Gods of Egypt written by Claude Traunecker and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gods of Egypt, first published in France in 1992 and now in its third French edition, is a short, elegant, and highly accessible survey of ancient Egyptian religion. The clarity and brevity of Claude Traunecker's book make it especially valuable to readers seeking an authoritative introduction to this complex topic. The Cornell edition, the first English translation, is enhanced by 23 illustrations. Traunecker begins with an overview of the source materials and a discussion of the historiography of Egyptian religion, a subject relatively neglected by scholars. He then describes the actual and metaphysical worlds inhabited by the Egyptian deities and the role that humans played in the Egyptian universe. Focusing especially on the diversity and number of approaches used by Egyptians to explain their world, The Gods of Egypt offers a succinct and highly readable presentation of recent interpretations of Egyptian religion.

Download or read book The Historians History of the World Vol 1 of 25 Illustrations written by Henry Smith Williams and published by THE TROW PRESS. This book was released on with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete world history should, properly speaking, begin with the creation of the world as man’s habitat, and should trace every step of human progress from the time when man first appeared on the globe. Unfortunately, the knowledge of to-day does not permit us to follow this theoretical obligation. We now know that the gaps in the history of human evolution as accessible to us to-day, vastly exceed the recorded chapters; that, in short, the period with which history proper has, at present, to content itself, is a mere moment in comparison with the vast reaches of time which, in recognition of our ignorance, we term “prehistoric.” But this recognition of limitations of our knowledge is a quite recent growth—no older, indeed, than a half century. Prior to 1859 the people of Christendom rested secure in the supposition that the chronology of man’s history was fully known, from the very year of his creation. One has but to turn to the first chapter of Genesis to find in the margin the date 4004 B.C., recorded with all confidence as the year of man’s first appearance on the globe. One finds there, too, a brief but comprehensive account of the manner of his appearance, as well as of the creation of the earth itself, his abiding-place. Until about half a century ago, as has just been said, the peoples of our portion of the globe rested secure in the supposition that this record and this date were a part of our definite knowledge of man’s history. Therefore, one finds the writers of general histories of the earlier days of the nineteenth century beginning their accounts with the creation of man, B.C. 4004, and coming on down to date with a full and seemingly secure chronology. Our knowledge of the world and of man’s history has come on by leaps and bounds since then, with the curious result that to-day no one thinks of making any reference to the exact date of the beginnings of human history,—unless, indeed, it be to remark that it probably reaches back some hundreds of thousands of years. The historian can speak of dates anterior to 4004 B.C., to be sure. The Egyptologist is disposed to date the building of the Pyramids a full thousand years earlier than that. And the Assyriologist is learning to speak of the state of civilisation in Chaldea some 6000 or 7000 years B.C. with a certain measure of confidence. But he no longer thinks of these dates as standing anywhere near the beginning of history. He knows that man in that age, in the centres of progress, had attained a high stage of civilisation, and he feels sure that there were some thousands of centuries of earlier time, during which man was slowly climbing through savagery and barbarism, of which we have only the most fragmentary record. He does not pretend to know anything, except by inference, of the “dawnings of civilisation.” Whichever way he turns in the centres of progress, such as China, Egypt, Chaldea, India, he finds the earliest accessible records, covering at best a period of only eight or ten thousand years, giving evidence of a civilisation already far advanced. Of the exact origin of any one of the civilisations with which he deals he knows absolutely nothing. “The Creation of Man,” with its fixed chronology, is a chapter that has vanished from our modern histories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Light Against Darkness is comprised of articles that put on display the power and pervasiveness of dualistic thought. Dualism has proved a potent cultural tool for clarifying and ordering reality. Particularly in times of social stress and psychological insecurity, it can offer a valuable conceptual grid that provides orientation to the world and a clear sense of identity. At the same time, though, there are important questions to be asked about the social effects of binary thinking. As history amply illustrates, dualistic notions can readily be deployed to legitimate cultural demonization and to rationalize violence. At a deeper level, a dualist worldview can also obscure the possibilities to be found in multiplicity.The articles in this volume treat Dualism across a wide historical spectrum and from multiple methodological perspectives. The studies are organized around the religious and cultural contexts of Ancient Judaism and they include contributions from leading voices on ancient Persia, Israel, Greece, and Egypt.Experts on modern religious and philosophical thought not only lend context to concepts applied to the ancient world, but engage recent European and American experiments in binary thought. All of the studies contribute to a richer and more complete portrait of dualism in ancient Judaism.
