Download or read book Hyperboreans written by Timothy P. Bridgman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-02-29 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Greek mythology, Hyperboreans were a tribe who lived far to Greece's north. Contained in what has come down to us of Greek literary tradition are texts that identify the Hyperboreans with the Celts, or Hyperborean lands with Celtic ones. This groundbreaking book studies the texts that make or imply this identification, and provides reasons why some ancient Greek authors identified a mythical people with an actual one. Timothy P. Bridgman demonstrates not only that these authors mythologize history, but that they used the traditional Greek parallel mythical world to interpret history throughout ancient Greek culture, thought and literature.

Download or read book Black Athena written by Martin Bernal and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 776 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is classical about Classical civilization? In one of the most audacious works of scholarship ever written, Martin Bernal challenges the whole basis of our thinking about this question. Classical civilization, he argues, has deep roots in Afroasiatic cultures. But these Afroasiatic influences have been systematically ignored, denied or suppressed since the eighteenth century - chiefly for racist reasons. Volume II is concerned with the archaeological and documentary evidence for contacts between Egypt and the Levant on the one hand and the Aegean on the other, during the Bronze Age from c. 3400 B.C. to c. 1100 B.C.

Download or read book The God Extinction written by Kevin Tumlinson and published by Happy Pants Books. This book was released on 2019-03-22 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHAT IF THE GODS WERE REAL? That’s the question Dr. Dan Kotler—Archaeologist and FBI Consultant—finds himself struggling to answer after a Druidic tomb is unearthed in the mountains of Egypt. Why did the Druids build a site in Egypt, thousands of years ago? And what implications does this site have for human history? Kotler’s not the only one looking for answers. The Alihat Iadida—the New Gods—is a powerful cult that wants control of the site, and of the bronze sword that Kotler himself helped to discover, twenty years earlier. That sword could be the key to unlocking the Otherworld—the realm of the gods, and a source of world-dominating power. Dr. Kotler and Agent Roland Denzel once again find themselves facing threats and dangers, fighting for their lives in the mountains of Egypt. And this time, they may face the gods themselves. Picking up where his novella, “The Brass Hall,” left off, Kevin Tumlinson takes readers on another thrilling ride through misplaced history, with stakes that could change the world. THE GOD EXTINCTION IS THE SEVENTH NOVEL IN KEVIN TUMLINSON’S DAN KOTLER ARCHAEOLOGICAL THRILLERS.
