Download or read book The Lucifer Scroll written by Barrie Doyle and published by Word Alive Press. This book was released on 2016-04-27 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legends say the spear offers immortality and world dominance. Rulers and emperors from Charlemagne to Hitler killed for it. But they were hunting a fake; the real icon remained hidden. In Istanbul, historian Huw Griffiths stumbles upon an old manuscript in the ruins of a recently uncovered church. It points to a scroll that could lead to the spear’s discovery. Vengeful Druids determined to destroy western culture, especially Christianity, and enraged over the loss of Excalibur to Griffiths and his American colleague Stone Wallace, latch on to the new find. Their goal: kill the pair and seize the icon. A deadly pursuit follows from Istanbul to the Austrian Tyrol and across Wales and Germany, swooping through Canada and New Mexico to a deadly confrontation in a sleepy Illinois town. Terrorism and death swirl into a terrifying journey that skirts the borders of the Druid underworld, for the scroll reveals the hiding place of the Spear of Destiny—the spear thrust into Jesus Christ at the crucifixion. As the hunters close in on the Lucifer Scroll, the question becomes who will get there first. “…a fresh telling of one of the great myths of western culture.” —Coleman Luck, Hollywood screenwriter, TV producer (The Equalizer), and author (Angel Fall)
Download or read book Battle for the Stonehenge Beacon written by Steve Hailes and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-10-22 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before breaking his lunar orbit, Snell reviewed his mission instructions: 1. Locate the lost Observer ship and salvage or destroy it. 2. Destroy any Syssphinx attempt to communicate with its home base. If possible, discover details about the Syssphinx race. 3. Find and communicate with the Lorelei. The first directive would be simple. As for the second one, either the Dark ship was destroyed or if not, so he had almost no chance to complete the directive. The Dark ships and their Syssphinx crews were the sworn enemies of all other life forms in the universe. No one really understood their avowed goal to extermination all life. Repeated negotiations had failed miserably. The second part of this directive was interesting. Behind its words, it demonstrated the Observers insatiable curiosity to know and to learn. The third directive was the most exciting, but probably not possible. When seen, descriptions of the Lorelei were always different, fantastic and contradictory. A Lorelei could be gaseous, liquid or solid, at will. It could be huge. Or small. It was intelligent. Or primal. It could communicate. Or it was pure life force. Even the Observers didnt know, and they knew everything. Snell smiled. Observers could not be omniscience and without knowledge at the same time. His elders lack of knowledge about either the Syssphinx or the Lorelei both amused and fascinated him. With determination, he activated his thrusters, broke orbit, and slipped toward the planet below. He did not understand just how difficult fulfilling any the directives would be.

The protagonist slowly unravels a hidden story of Alien influence, from early agricultural developments to modern space exploration, and their partnership with the Stewards to protect and safeguard the knowledge of their visits and to help maintain the balance of the natural order, both on Earth and within the cosmos. The archaeology professor’s research leads him to holy sites throughout Britain and the influence of Celtic Spirituality as he explores what the Celts called “thin” places. Over the course of his quest, Thomas is given another stone etched with a strange glyph, but his journey of discovery puts him in the path of the Apostles of Hades, a sinister group determined to undermine this balance. Drawn to Stonehenge, Thomas meets another professor whose field of study is the ancient stone monument. Revealing herself to be a modern-day Steward, Dr. Vaughn assists Thomas in unravelling the secrets of the artifacts and, together, they gain allies to defeat the Apostles of Hades. When the true power of the stones is discovered, Thomas and the now-powerful Stewards find themselves in a cosmic clash to preserve the future of Earth’s existence.

Download or read book Knowledge and Power in Prehistoric Societies written by Lynne Kelly and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Lynne Kelly explores the role of formal knowledge systems in small-scale oral cultures in both historic and archaeological contexts. In the first part, she examines knowledge systems within historically recorded oral cultures, showing how the link between power and the control of knowledge is established. Analyzing the material mnemonic devices used by documented oral cultures, she demonstrates how early societies maintained a vast corpus of pragmatic information concerning animal behavior, plant properties, navigation, astronomy, genealogies, laws and trade agreements, among other matters. In the second part Kelly turns to the archaeological record of three sites, Chaco Canyon, Poverty Point and Stonehenge, offering new insights into the purpose of the monuments and associated decorated objects. This book demonstrates how an understanding of rational intellect, pragmatic knowledge and mnemonic technologies in prehistoric societies offers a new tool for analysis of monumental structures built by non-literate cultures.
Download or read book Inigo s Stones written by Tom Williamson and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a geologist rather than an art historian, Inigo’s Stones has a down to earth narrative which reveals Inigo Jones as a stone expert who dealt with masons to became a shrewd businessman, bringing Portland stones to London, and founding the modern Portland stone industry.Why are so many of London’s famous buildings, for example Buckingham Palace, the British Museum, the Bank of England, the government offices in Whitehall, faced with stones from the Isle of Portland, more than a hundred miles away? Until now the reasons that prompted famous architect Inigo Jones to bring blocks of this creamy limestone all the way by sea from the Royal Manor of Portland and thereby found the modern Portland stone industry had been something of a mystery.Working with archival research specialist James Derriman, geologist Tom Williamson has now reconstructed a scenario that solves the mystery. It is a complex tale that involves the marriage of Inigo’s chief Banqueting House mason Nicholas Stone to the daughter of the City Mason of booming Amsterdam, a nasty incident at the stone-loading pier at Portland and Inigo Jones’s struggles to pay stone workers from King James’s bankrupt Treasury.The new findings presented in Inigo’s Stones also see Inigo Jones studying Roman stones and marbles in Italy with Lord and Lady Arundel, initiating the first geological study of Stonehenge, searching for Portland stones big enough to replicate the Carystian marble monoliths of the Roman temple of Antoninus and Faustina in London and procuring Irish marbles to reflect imperial glory on his friend King Charles I. Inigo emerges not just as a Court propagandist and Vitruvian architect, but also as a resourceful businessman doing his best to cope at a time when the government was even shorter of cash than it is today.Reflecting on the questions raised by Inigo’s work for the Stuart kings, the author Tom Williamson extends the story to cover the whole field of how rulers have used stones and marbles to project imperial power. Focusing on the stones of three once-mighty empires, the Roman, the Mughal and the British, the book ends with a surprising twist.
Download or read book Wisdomkeepers of Stonehenge written by Graham Phillips and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveals how Stonehenge was an extraordinary astronomical calendar used in the cultivation of ingredients for long-forgotten botanical cures • Explores how Stonehenge and other stone circles were ancient healing sanctuaries and celestial calculators for the preparation of natural medicines • Explains how the megalithic priesthood--and their successors, the Druids--developed astonishing memory techniques to preserve knowledge over generations • Draws upon the very latest discoveries from recent archaeological excavations and overlooked historical source material Stonehenge is just one of thousands of stone circles erected throughout Britain and Ireland for over three millennia from 3,000 BC on. How did this building tradition survive for so long, over such a large area and with such complexity and uniformity, when the people of the British Isles lived in separate, isolated communities and left no evidence of a central leadership or obvious communication network? Graham Phillips argues that these stone circles are evidence of an astonishing system of healthcare and preservation of ancient medical knowledge that held together a society scattered across the British Isles. With stones aligned to the sun, moon, and certain stars, these ancient monuments enabled the precise timings necessary for the cultivation of medicinal plants. He explains how the megalithic priesthood possessed medical knowledge well beyond their time and may even have discovered a cure for cancer. Furthermore, because they had no form of writing, the megalithic people developed phenomenal memory techniques to preserve their knowledge over many generations, resulting in a class of wisdomkeepers that were not only healers but the living libraries of their culture. Drawing upon the latest discoveries from recent archaeological excavations and overlooked historical source material, Phillips reveals that the megalithic culture survived far longer than previously thought and that the people who held it together were an enigmatic shamanic sect ultimately called the Druids. Uncovering the secrets of ancient megalithic culture and the purpose of their enigmatic stone circles, Phillips contends that all the evidence has now been gathered to unlock the secrets encoded in the stones--and perhaps discover remedies for diseases still uncured by modern medicine today.

Download or read book The Scroll of Yeshayahu written by Xavier Montañez and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scroll of Yeshayahu is an in-depth exploration of the Prophet Isaiah. It is different in that a systematic overview and commentary of the text are provided as we discover hidden patterns and messages in his writings. Topics include Isaiah’s prophetic viewpoint — which contains Historical, Messianic, and End-Times Predictions — to the prophet’s case for the divinity of the Christ; his writings are a testament to the miracle of scripture. As a result, this book provides a solid defense for the reliability of Scripture, the deity of the Jewish Messiah, and the glory of God revealed in Yeshua.
