Book excerpt: This book describes and analyses all their military equipment – weapons, armour, horse tack, fortifications, etc., as well as their tactics and warrior society. In ancient times, the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) was home to warriors of great renown. Iberian and Celtiberian warriors, both infantry and cavalry, served as the backbone of the Carthaginian armies that terrorized Italy under Hannibal, and proved even more fierce when defending their homeland against later Roman occupation. The Lusitanian resistance under Viriathus was among the toughest the Romans encountered anywhere. Professor Quesada Sanz details the arms, armour and equipment of the various warriors of the region in fantastic detail, drawing on his intimate knowledge of the latest archaeological and historical research. His clear and informative text is supported throughout by a wealth of photographs, diagrams and exquisite colour artwork by Carlos Fernandez del Castillo. This beautiful book is a rare combination of detailed, comprehensive information and sumptuous visual appeal that will be cherished by anyone with an interest in the warriors and weapons of the ancient world. The Spanish edition won the Hislibris Award for the 'Best Historical Book' for 2010 and is here faithfully translated into English.
Download or read book The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Warfare written by DK and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-04-16 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previously published in hardcover as War: The Definitive Visual History War has been central to the rise and fall of civilizations since the dawn of time. The history of warfare first emerges from legend in Mesopotamia, the cradle of civilization, around 3,000 years before the birth of Christ. The first armies that we know about fought in Sumeria, Ancient Egypt, and Syria. From these first battles, fought with spears or axes on horseback or on foot, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Warfare traces the campaigns and conflicts that have shaped world history and examines the evolution of military tactics and technology. The story of the development from these primitive battles to the global conflicts of the 20th century and the modern "War on Terror" is the story of humanity itself, reflecting the same political, cultural and technological forces that have defined human history. From longbows to laser-guided missiles; from chariots to jet aircraft; and from Samurai warriors to SAS soldiers, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Warfare provides the definitive visual chronicle of this intense, brutal, and often heroic tale. War combines a coherent and compelling spread-by-spread historical narrative with a wealth of supporting features on weapons and technology, strategy and tactics, the experience of war, and history's fighting elites to recount the epic 5,000-year story of warfare and combat through the ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WOMEN WARRIORS: Righting the Wrongs of Antiquity, Finding the Truth of Our Fighting Female Ancestors with Evidence from a Lost Tomb BECOME AN ARCHAEOLOGIST and join this investigation... Since the dawn of time, fighting and the military has been a male domain. This vastly predominant trend in human history, however, is by no means true 100% of the time. There are many examples since the dawn of time of women engaging in combat, leadership and sovereignty. In the 19th/Early 20th Century, archaeology was conducted by people who ascribed their 'modern day' values to antiquity. When a female was found entombed with a sword or military decoration: 'it must have belonged to her father or brother' or it was 'votive' in nature. Had the subject been male, the archaeologists of the time would not hesitate to declare the individual a decorated warrior or leader of men on the battlefield. Is the essence of science and discovery not to set aside personal biases and interpret the evidence freely? In this book, Tom Neal explores this idea through a spectacular case study: the many mysteries surrounding Queen Ahhotep of Ancient Egypt and her lost tomb. A Queen of the 18th Dynasty, the same dynasty as Tutankhamun Discovered in Egypt entombed with many weapons and military artefacts. Buried with Ancient Egyptian 'Flies of Valour', the Ancient Egypt version of a Victoria Cross War Medal for Bravery Found with Axes, Daggers, an Archer's Armlet and Many Other Indicators of a 'Warrior Queen' The case of Queen Ahhotep's everyday life and gender based assumptions must be examined critically to find the truth. The queen's 'passive' nature may have been unfairly assumed by previous writers, and Tom seeks to get to the bottom of this so you can decide for yourself. By the end of this book, you will have Examined Women Warrior Examples Throughout Antiquity Explored Gender Bias in Archaeology Learnt about Gender and Attitudes Towards It in Ancient Egyptian Society Looked at the Associations and Implications of Weapons in Tombs Examined Ancient Egyptian Weaponry Become an Expert on the Lost Tomb of Queen Ahhotep Reviewed the 'Multiple Ahhoteps' Mystery and Debate Would you rather go through life immediately accepting what previous experts have decided, or would you like to decide the truth for yourself by examining all sides of the evidence and exercising your right to think critically about all you are told? This book refuses to accept any such thing as 'settled science'. The very essence of human discovery is the ability to change your mind in the light of new evidence or interpretation. Scroll up and click the Buy Now button and get started in discovering a mystery thousands of years in the making. Be inspired by Ahhotep and what may have been a true Warrior Queen of Ancient Egypt.
