Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sword of the Pyramids: A Story of Many Wars Over the mountains of Virginia the shades of night are fast falling. The departing rays of the sun are still shooting gleams of gold on the higher summits of the range, while the heavy pines which cluster around the lower valleys seem almost black in contrast - like a dark fringe circling a golden-flecked crown. A thread of silver twines through the darkening valley. It is the Osakala Biver speeding over its rocky way, foaming around bowlders and hurrying on in apparent haste to reach the sea. Yonder, miles away, the fading light of the sun falls upon a stone building halfway up the mountain side. It is the only bit of artificial scenery visible. The country presents a stretch totally lacking the work of man. About the house, out-buildings, fences, horses and cattle, if there, are not visible owing to the distance, the darkening shadows, and the intervening foliage.

Download or read book The Perfect Sword written by Paul Gething and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the Bamburgh Sword – one of the finest swords ever forged. In 2000, archaeologist Paul Gething rediscovered a sword. An unprepossessing length of rusty metal, it had been left in a suitcase for thirty years. But Paul had a suspicion that the sword had more to tell than appeared, so he sent it for specialist tests. When the results came back, he realised that what he had in his possession was possibly the finest, and certainly the most complex, sword ever made, which had been forged in seventh-century Northumberland by an anonymous swordsmith. This is the story of the Bamburgh Sword – of how and why it was made, who made it and what it meant to the warriors and kings who wielded it over three centuries. It is also the remarkable story of the archaeologists and swordsmiths who found, studied and attempted to recreate the weapon using only the materials and technologies available to the original smith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the north, the barbaric Hyksos still rule with unimaginable brutality. Queen Ahhotep, meanwhile, has recaptured much of the south -- but at a terrible price: her husband has been killed in combat and her elder son, Kames, was mysteriously poisoned. Ahhotep refuses to be crowned pharaoh and prepares her second son, young Amose, to take power instead. Thanks to her, the Egyptians are now ready for the final battle. They lay siege to Avaris, the Hyksos capital -- and once the city is taken, nothing can stop them. After 100 years of occupation and thousands of violent deaths, it looks as though the Egyptian empire may at last rise from the ashes.

Download or read book Pyramids and Fleshpots written by Stuart Hadaway and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personnel serving in Egypt in the Great War often complained that the popular impression of the campaigns, still widely held, was that it was a sideshow, with troops enjoying a holiday among the pyramids and the ‘fleshpots’ of Cairo. Actually they faced appalling heat, abrasive sand, poor rations and water shortages. In the desolation of the Western Desert they fought the Senussi, an Islamic sect supported by the Ottomans in a reversal of Lawrence’s later work with the Arabs, while in the Sinai Desert they countered German-backed moves to dominate this strategically important area. Meanwhile, the Royal Navy fought to keep the supply lines to Gallipoli open, and keep men and material flowing to France from India, Australia and New Zealand. This book will tell the true story of their experiences and achievements in fighting a determined enemy to protect the Suez Canal – the lifeline of the Empire.
