Download or read book El antiguo Egipto written by Irene Cordón i Solà Sagalés and published by Shackleton Books. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Difícilmente encontraríamos otra civilización o período de la historia tan ampliamente reconocible por el público general como el Antiguo Egipto. Sin embargo, la inmensa popularidad de sus creaciones más icónicas no suele corresponderse con un conocimiento equivalente de las gentes que las alumbraron; cuestiones como la de quiénes fueron los antiguos egipcios, cómo vivían o cuál fue su historia, están cubiertas por una densa neblina para la mayoría de nosotros. La situación se agrava si nos desplazamos a las vecinas tierras de Mesopotamia, en las que, durante el mismo período, florecieron civilizaciones como la sumeria, la acadia, la babilonia o la asiria; nombres de pueblos que, en el mejor de los casos, constituyen un lejano recuerdo de nuestros no menos lejanos tiempos de escuela. No se trata de una laguna menor, pues significa perderse uno de los acontecimientos más fascinantes que quepa imaginar: el tránsito de la humanidad hacia la historia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mesopotamia, considerada la cuna de la civilización, ha sido el hogar de sumerios, babilonios, asirios y acadios. En esta tierra entre ríos tuvieron lugar los mayores avances de la Humanidad que cambiarían drásticamente el transcurso de la Historia: la invención de la rueda y de la escritura. En un terreno inhóspito, rodeado por desiertos y barro, diversos pueblos aprovecharon la fertilidad del Tigris y el Éufrates para formar las primeras estructuras sociales de mayor complejidad. Así, aparecieron las primeras ciudades-estado como Ur o Uruk que durante el III milenio a.C. se batieron por obtener la hegemonía del creciente fértil. Mientras que en Mesopotamia se construían los primeros zigurats, grandes templos escalonados, Egipto todavía no había sido unificado y quedaban varios siglos para que Stonehenge fuese construido. Mi principal objetivo con esta serie de artículos es lograr que este período obtenga el reconocimiento que merece, pues en mi opinión, ha sido eclipsado por el Imperio Egipto, sus pirámides y sus faraones. Por esta razón gran parte de los principales reinos e imperios de la Edad Antigua han caído en el olvido de buena parte de la población como el Imperio Neoasirio, el Imperio Hitita o el Reino de Mitanni. Por lo tanto, la intención de esta serie de artículos es explicar la organización social, el arte y las creencias de las distintas culturas que habitaron Mesopotamia durante toda la Edad Antigua hasta llegar a las conquistas de Ciro el Grande. Pasando por la creación del primer imperio del mundo, el imperio acadio, hasta los distintos períodos de dominio asirio, así como la enigmática civilización sumeria. Desde los zigurats y los templos asirios hasta los famosos jardines colgantes de Babilonia o la Puerta de Ishtar del Imperio Babilónico, en estos artículos vamos a adentrarnos en casi tres milenios de Historia.

Download or read book Civilization Before Greece and Rome written by H. W. F. Saggs and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many centuries it was accepted that civilization began with the Greeks and Romans. During the last two hundred years, however, archaeological discoveries in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Crete, Syria, Anatolia, Iran, and the Indus Valley have revealed that rich cultures existed in these regions some two thousand years before the Greco-Roman era. In this fascinating work, H.W.F Saggs presents a wide-ranging survey of the more notable achievements of these societies, showing how much the ancient peoples of the Near and Middle East have influenced the patterns of our daily lives. Saggs discussesthe the invention of writing, tracing it from the earliest pictograms (designed for account-keeping) to the Phoenician alphabet, the source of the Greek and all European alphabets. He investigates teh curricula, teaching methods, and values of the schools from which scribes graduated. Analyzing the provisions of some of the law codes, he illustrates the operation of international law and the international trade that it made possible. Saggs highlights the creative ways that these ancient peoples used their natural resources, describing the vast works in stone created by the Egyptians, the development of technology in bronze and iron, and the introduction of useful plants into regions outside their natural habitat. In chapters on mathematics, astronomy, and medicine, he offers interesting explanations about how modern calculations of time derive from the ancient world, how the Egyptians practiced scientific surgery, and how the Babylonians used algebra. The book concludes with a discussion of ancient religion, showing its evolution from the most primitive forms toward monotheism.

Download or read book History of Egypt Chaldea Syria Babylonia and Assyria written by H. R. Hall and published by anboco. This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume contains an account of the most important additions which have been made to our knowledge of the ancient history of Egypt and Western Asia during the few years which have elapsed since the publication of Prof. Maspero's Histoire Ancienne des Peuples de l'Orient Classique, and includes short descriptions of the excavations from which these results have been obtained. It is in no sense a connected and continuous history of these countries, for that has already been written by Prof. Maspero, but is rather intended as an appendix or addendum to his work, briefly recapitulating and describing the discoveries made since its appearance. On this account we have followed a geographical rather than a chronological system of arrangement, but at the same time the attempt has been made to suggest to the mind of the reader the historical sequence of events.
Download or read book Unexpected Links Between Egyptian And Babylonian Mathematics written by Joran Friberg and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2005-06-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mesopotamian mathematics is known from a great number of cuneiform texts, most of them Old Babylonian, some Late Babylonian or pre-Old-Babylonian, and has been intensively studied during the last couple of decades. In contrast to this Egyptian mathematics is known from only a small number of papyrus texts, and the few books and papers that have been written about Egyptian mathematical papyri have mostly reiterated the same old presentations and interpretations of the texts.In this book, it is shown that the methods developed by the author for the close study of mathematical cuneiform texts can also be successfully applied to all kinds of Egyptian mathematical texts, hieratic, demotic, or Greek-Egyptian. At the same time, comparisons of a large number of individual Egyptian mathematical exercises with Babylonian parallels yield many new insights into the nature of Egyptian mathematics and show that Egyptian and Babylonian mathematics display greater similarities than expected.
Download or read book Reception of Mesopotamia on Film written by Maria de Fatima Rosa and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-09-08 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore an insightful account of the reception of Mesopotamia in modern cinema In Reception of Mesopotamia on Film, Dr. Maria de Fátima Rosa explores how the Ancient Mesopotamian civilization was portrayed by the movie industry, especially in America and Italy, and how it was used to convey analogies between ancient and contemporary cultural and moral contexts. Spanning a period that stretches from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, the book explores how the Assyrian and Babylonian elites, particularly kings, queens, and priestesses, were perceived and represented on screen by filmmakers. A focus on the role played by Ancient Near Eastern women and on the polytheistic religion practiced in the land between the rivers will be provided. This book also offers an insightful interpretation of the bias message that most of these films portray and how the Mesopotamian past and Antiquity brought to light and stimulated the debate on emerging 20th century political and social issues. The book also offers: A thorough introduction to the Old Testament paradigm and the romanticism of classical authors A comprehensive exploration of the literary reception of the Mesopotamian legacy and its staging Practical discussions of the rediscovery, appropriation, and visual reproduction of Assyria and Babylonia In-depth examinations of cinematic genres and cinematographic contexts Perfect for students of the history of antiquity and cinematographic history, Reception of Mesopotamia on Film is also an invaluable resource for anyone with an interest in reception studies.

This book was released on 2017-06-22 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHAPTER I-THE DISCOVERY OF PREHISTORIC EGYPT During the last ten years our conception of the beginnings of Egyptian antiquity has profoundly altered. When Prof. Maspero published the first volume of his great Histoire Ancienne des Peuples des l'Orient Classique, in 1895, Egyptian history, properly so called, still began with the Pyramid-builders, Sne-feru, Khufu, and Khafra (Cheops and Chephren), and the legendary lists of earlier kings preserved at Abydos and Sakkara were still quoted as the only source of knowledge of the time before the IVth Dynasty. Of a prehistoric Egypt nothing was known, beyond a few flint flakes gathered here and there upon the desert plateaus, which might or might not tell of an age when the ancestors of the Pyramid-builders knew only the stone tools and weapons of the primeval savage. Now, however, the veil which has hidden the beginnings of Egyptian civilization from us has been lifted, and we see things, more or less, as they actually were, unobscured by the traditions of a later day. Until the last few years nothing of the real beginnings of history in either Egypt or Mesopotamia had been found; legend supplied the only material for the reconstruction of the earliest history of the oldest civilized nations of the globe. Nor was it seriously supposed that any relics of prehistoric Egypt or Mesopotamia ever would be found. The antiquity of the known history of these countries already appeared so great that nobody took into consideration the possibility of our discovering a prehistoric Egypt or Mesopotamia; the idea was too remote from practical work. And further, civilization in these countries had lasted so long that it seemed more than probable that all traces of their prehistoric age had long since been swept away. Yet the possibility, which seemed hardly worth a moment's consideration in 1895, is in 1905 an assured reality, at least as far as Egypt is concerned. Prehistoric Babylonia has yet to be discovered. It is true, for example, that at Mukay-yar, the site of ancient Ur of the Chaldees, burials in earthenware coffins, in which the skeletons lie in the doubled-up position characteristic of Neolithic interments, have been found; but there is no doubt whatever that these are burials of a much later date, belonging, quite possibly, to the Parthian period. Nothing that may rightfully be termed prehistoric has yet been found in the Euphrates valley, whereas in Egypt prehistoric antiquities are now almost as well known and as well represented in our museums as are the prehistoric antiquities of Europe and America. With the exception of a few palasoliths from the surface of the Syrian desert, near the Euphrates valley, not a single implement of the Age of Stone has yet been found in Southern Mesopotamia, whereas Egypt has yielded to us the most perfect examples of the flint-knapper's art known, flint tools and weapons more beautiful than the finest that Europe and America can show. The reason is not far to seek. Southern Mesopotamia is an alluvial country, and the ancient cities, which doubtless mark the sites of the oldest settlements in the land, are situated in the alluvial marshy plain between the Tigris and the Euphrates; so that all traces of the Neolithic culture of the country would seem to have disappeared, buried deep beneath city-mounds, clay and marsh....
