Download or read book Between Two Worlds written by László Török and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 629 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Egyptological literature usually belittles or ignores the political and intellectual initiative and success of the Nubian Twenty-Fifth Dynasty in the reunification of Egypt, while students of Nubian history frequently ignore or misunderstand the impact of Egyptian ideas on the cultural developments in pre- and post-Twenty-Fifth-Dynasty Nubia. This book re-assesses the textual and archaeological evidence concerning the interaction between Egypt and the polities emerging in Upper Nubia between the Late Neolithic period and 500 AD. The investigation is carried out, however, from the special viewpoint of the political, social, economic, religious and cultural history of the frontier region between Egypt and Nubia and not from the traditional viewpoint of the direct interaction between Egypt and the successive Nubian kingdoms of Kerma, Napata and Meroe. The result is a new picture of the bipolar acculturation processes occurring in the frontier region of Lower Nubia in particular and in the Upper Nubian centres, in general. The much-debated issue of social and cultural "Egyptianization" is also re-assessed.
Download or read book The King s Son the Evidence written by Brad Little and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-10 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the ultimate cold case, a 125 year old mystery hidden in plain sight. This book pieces the evidence together that William James Shepherd was closely related to a member of the British Royal Family. The case is built-up and includes clues that lead to a clear path forward - readied for a compelling conclusion and resolution to the mystery. If you like puzzles and a story that twists and turns with lots of detail - then you have the right book. If you like analysis with just a touch of mystery, then you also have the right book. If you want an "easy read" book, you may have the wrong book.This book is about determination to get to the bottom of a family rumor and mystery.This is a story of intrigue and challenge about a man who left enduring clues during his lifetime about his origins. The clues appear to have been left in a subliminal manner, and at times it was like participating in a movie somewhat like the "Da Vinci Code", with clue after clue being uncovered together with their meaning. This book is about how my maternal Grandfather William James Shepherd mysteriously arrives in Australia in the early 1900's, with the skills to be able to play the Double Bass and then goes on to become Australia's No. 1 performer. And yet in 1901, he is Census listed as a "Pauper Inmate" (age 10) in a London Workhouse orphanage - straight out of the pages of the book "Oliver Twist".William throughout his life, due to his looks and mannerisms, is often compared to various members of the then British Royal Family born in the late 1800's / early 1900's.Even today some of William's descendants continue to have comparisons made with various members of the current British Royal Family.DNA tests are used to set a test to prove the link, including the invention of a system and process that enables the parsing of atDNA in to the component ancestors of the DNA tester. It is a system and process that DNA testing companies may be interested to implement as a tool - refer Chapter 8.3.The suspense in determining what is true and what is false - together with the patience needed to try to obtain DNA matches, makes for very interesting twists and turns, as the story progresses.So based on the evidence collected and presented in this book ....... Was William James Shepherd indeed related to the British Royal Family?The Puzzle as to who my Grandfather's paternal family line was is ultimately solved in the new Parts Four and Five of this 3rd Edition of this book. It was solved after years of part time investigation and the initial 1st and 2nd Editions of this book being published. This 3rd Edition proves William James Shepherd's close relationship to the British Royal Family, as my Grandfather is shown to be a maleline descendant of the House of "xyz" - refer Chapters 8 onwards for the answer.If you have previously read the 2nd Edition of this book, you may wish to skip forward to Chapter 7, and pick up the story from there with all its new material. The 2nd Edition was 200 pages whereas this 3rd Edition is 550 pages - noting they are small 9" x 6" pages.As a result of this investigation additional Royal Haplogroups have now been discovered and are documented in Chapter 10. There are some major surprises.This 3rd Edition is now available for the wider Genealogical Community to review; critique and hopefully agree with my conclusions regarding who William James Shepherd's father was.Brad Michael Little

Book excerpt: THE KING'S SON (The Evidence) [1st Edition - before "The Answer"] This is the ultimate cold case, a 120 year old mystery hidden in plain sight. This book pieces together the evidence that William James Shepherd was most likely the eldest son of King George V. The case is built-up and includes clues that lead to a clear path forward - readied for a compelling conclusion and full resolution to the mystery. This is a story of intrigue and challenge about a man who left enduring clues during his lifetime about his origins. They were left in a subliminal manner, and at times it was like participating in a movie somewhat like the "Da Vinci Code", with clue after clue being uncovered together with their meaning. The evidence is presented about William Shepherd and how he mysteriously arrives in Australia via unassisted paid passage on a ship having just turned 17, with enough money in his pocket that enables him to purchase a farm within a year. He also arrives with the skills to be able to play the Double Bass and then goes on to become Australia's No. 1 performer. And yet in 1901, just six years earlier he is Census listed as a "Pauper" (age 10) in a London Workhouse orphanage straight out of the pages of the book "Oliver Twist". William throughout his life, due to his looks and mannerisms, is often compared to King George V's acknowledged sons - King Edward VIII and King George VI (i.e. the man portrayed in the movie "The King's Speech"). DNA tests are used to set a test to prove the link. The suspense as to whether it is true or not - and the patience needed to try to obtain a DNA match; makes for a very interesting twist. So based on the evidence collected and presented in this book ....... Was William James Shepherd indeed "The King's Son"? Please read on .......
Download or read book Gospel Perspectives Volume 5 written by David Wenham and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-03-29 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their search for the historical Jesus, scholars have rightly focused their attention on the evidence of the four canonical gospels, but they have often given insufficient attention to the importance of other early Christian writings. This volume by an international team of authors, writing under the auspices of the Tyndale House Gospels Research Project, seeks to shed light on the gospels from outside the gospels. It includes essays on Paul's use of the Jesus tradition, the evidence of other New Testament writers, the Gospel of Thomas, the apocryphal gospels, the apostolic fathers, and on Jewish and classical traditions. The essays break new ground in various respects; and the volume as a whole, which is concluded by Dr. Richard Bauckham with an article on the problems and prospects of studying non-canonical gospel traditions, should prove a significant stimulus to ongoing research in this neglected area.

Download or read book The Middle Kingdom of Ancient Egypt written by Wolfram Grajetzki and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the ancient Egyptians, the Middle Kingdom (c. 2000-1700 BC) was a classical period of art, history and literature. The Twelfth Dynasty was one of the strongest ever to rule on the banks of the Nile: some of its kings were later worshipped as local gods, and were made famous by classical Greek authors. Yet Egyptologists tend not to look beyond the extraordinary royal sculpture and literary masterpieces of the time. Although the picture is fragmentary, as with any archaeological record, the last two hundred years of exploration and excavation have revealed much of the splendour of the period. This book examines the evidence for the culture, history and society of both central and provincial Egypt at the time, revealing the wealth of the entire country. In this second edition, Wolfram Grajetzki incorporates recent discoveries, discussions and publications which have emerged over the intervening fifteen years, including new excavation reports for the mastabas at Lisht and excavations at Abydos. Too often overshadowed by the better-preserved architecture of other periods, Middle Kingdom Egypt emerges for the reader as a fascinating age in its own right.

Download or read book The Justiciarship in England 1066 1232 written by Francis James West and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the height of his power and influence the justiciar was the king's chief political and judicial officer, superintending the administrative machinery and acting as regent in the king's absence abroad. He was also a feudal lord or bishop; and the study of the careers of the chief justiciars, as soldiers and politicians, judges and financiers, throws light on the workings of feudal society and on the technical administrative means by which royal power was effectively exercised. Dr West traces the history of the office from the first need for the delegation of royal power under William 1 until the Anglo-Norman dominion broke up and government became too complicated. As an administrative post it attained its greatest importance in the formative periods of administrative development under Henry 1 and later under Henry 11. Unlike the offices of sheriff and chancellor the justiciarship has never been systematically examined. Dr West's book is a pioneer account of the most important office under the king and an examination of a central theme of English constitutional and administrative history.

Download or read book The People of the Cobra Province in Egypt written by Wolfram Grajetzki and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2020-04-19 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book delivers a history from below for the first half of Egyptian history coveringthe earliest settlements, state formation and the pyramid age. The focus is on theWadjet province, about 350 km south of modern Cairo in Upper Egypt. Herearchaeological records provide an especially rich dataset for the material culture offarmers. Histories of Ancient Egypt have focussed heavily on the kings, monuments and inscriptions, while the working population is hardly mentioned. The book investigates the life of people far from the centres of power. One main aim of the book is the interaction between farmers and the ruling classes at the centres of power and locally. How did decisions at the royal centre affect the life of ordinary people? The Introduction offers a critical survey of Egyptologists and their attitudes towardsthe working class. The social and cultural background of these researchers is analysed to assess how heavily they are influenced by time and their political and cultural background. The First chapter then describes the location and gives a history ofprevious research and excavations. The archaeological sites and the recorded ancientplace names of the province are presented to provide a geographical framework forthe book. The following chapters are arranged in chronological order, mainly according to thearchaeological phases visible in the province. It appears that in phases of a weakcentral government, people in the provinces were much better off, while in phases ofa strong central government burials of poorer people are almost absent. The reasons for this are discussed. A substantial part of the book comprises descriptions of single burials and the materialculture in the province. The archaeology of the poorer people is the main focus. Burial customs and questions of production are discussed. For a fuller picture, evidence from other parts of Egypt is also taken into account. Thus settlement sites in other regions are presented to provide contemporary evidence for living conditions in particular periods. As the book will focus on the lower classes, the Tributary Mode of Production will be used as the main theoretical framework. The Tributary Mode of Production (previouslyknown as the Asiatic Mode of Production) is a term that goes back to Karl Marx, but was mainly used in the 20th century to describe ancient societies whose economies were not based on slaves.A constant question will be the status of the working population. Were they slaves,serfs or free citizens? It will be argued that they were most often in a dependent position comparable to that of serfs, while there is little evidence for slavery. The numerous burials presented in the volume are important for highlighting the diversity of burials in the different periods. Many will be placed in special subchapters. Readers can skip these chapters when they prefer to concentrate on the main text.
