Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thornton and Belmont embark on an adventure to find the lost city of El Dorado. excerpt"What do you make of those?" Thornton asked, as he tossed two bits of shining yellow metal upon the table. Belmont, the mining engineer, picked up the objects and examined them curiously. They were obviously gold; thin, crescent-shaped; perhaps two inches in length by an inch in width, and with small eyes or rings at the points of the crescents."They're gold of course," he replied. "Indian ornaments of some sort, I should say.""Yes, you're right both times," laughed Thornton. "But do you realize that you are holding something which no white man since Raleigh's day has ever seen? Those things, Frank, are the 'gold moons' that Sir Walter Raleigh reported having seen in the noses of Guiana Indians.""Jove, is that so!" exclaimed the other. "Discovered a lost tribe, eh? Bully for you. What were they, freaks, cannibals or Amazons?""Neither," declared the explorer, who had recently returned from months in the interior of Guiana and Brazil, and who was dining with his old college chum."The people who wore these," he continued, "are quite ordinary in as far as appearances go. But they prove that Raleigh was right, and, this is what may interest you, the tribe that uses the moons has a secret, unlimited supply of gold.""What?" cried the engineer, instantly interested. "I suppose you mean that they have a rich placer mine. Now you're talking business, old man.""I thought that would wake you up," laughed the explorer. "I can't say as to the placer. Did you ever hear of El Dorado and the City of Manoa?"

Download or read book God and Gold in Late Antiquity written by Dominic Janes and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-02-19 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the conversion of the emperor Constantine in the early fourth century, vast sums of money were spent on the building and sumptuous decoration of churches. The resulting works of art contain many of the greatest monuments of late antique and early medieval society. But how did such expenditure fit with Christ's message of poverty and simplicity? In attempting to answer that question, this 1998 study employs theories on the use of metaphor to show how physical beauty could stand for spiritual excellence. As well as explaining the evolving attitudes to sanctity, decorum and display in Roman and medieval society, detailed analysis is made of case studies of Latin biblical exegesis and gold-ground mosaics so as to counterpoint the contemporary use of gold as a Christian image in art and text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armchair Fiction presents extra-large editions of classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The first novel is "The Battery of Hate," by one of the founding fathers of modern science fiction, John W. Campbell. It was an invention that would change the world. Bruce Kennedy was a brilliant young scientist who wanted to change the power grid of the world-and he had a new invention that would do exactly that. It was called the "fuel battery," and it was the ideal source of power-electricity produced directly from graphite! Electricity produced so cheaply that no company would be able to compete. Electric automobiles would be ten times more powerful and a hundred times simpler than the best on the market; electric airplanes would be noiseless and unfailing, and able to reach heights and speeds un-thought of by commercial airlines. It would provide home heating systems that would warm a house in ten minutes or less. The applications of this new invention seemed limitless. But Bruce Kennedy soon found out the hard way that not all men of finance are necessarily enthralled with powerful new inventions, and sometimes to move forward with such a discovery might indeed put one's life in peril. The second novel is "Treasure of the Golden God" by veteran sci-fi author, A. Hyatt Verrill. Two rugged explorer pals, Thornton and Belmont, had planned the adventure of a lifetime-an expedition into the interior of South America, specifically looking for gold. It was a search that soon turned into a quest for the fabled golden city of El Dorado! For weeks Belmont and Thornton traveled by boat up a river through unbroken jungle and dangerous rapids. Soon they were on foot, tramping through unknown jungles and uncharted territories. But, when a village Medicine Man warned them of evil spirits and that disaster might soon befall them, they realized their adventure might turn from a bold quest for treasure into a nightmarish adventure of survival, culminating in poison blow darts, headhunters, panicked flight, starvation, and soon-murder. That they would ever make it back to civilization alive, one could only hope.

Book excerpt: In 70 AD, the Roman emperor Vespasian and his son Titus plundered the great Temple of Jerusalem, claiming for themselves a priceless hoard. The golden candelabrum, silver trumpets, the bejeweled Table of the Divine Presence—the central icons of the Jewish faith—were cast adrift in Mediterranean lands and exposed to centuries of turbulent history and the rule of four different civilizations. Only an intriguing trail of clues remains to betray the treasure's ever-changing destiny—a trail eminent archaeologist Dr. Sean Kingsley has followed on one of the most remarkable quests of this or any other age: the search for the final resting place of God's gold.
