Documents and the History of the Early Islamic World
ISBN: 9789004249592 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Historians have long lamented the lack of contemporary documentary sources for the Islamic middle ages and the inhibiting effect this has had on our understanding of this critically important period. Although the field is richly served by surviving evidence, much of it is hard to locate, difficult to access, and philologically intractable. Presenting a mixture of historical studies and new editions of Greek, Arabic and Coptic material from the seventh to the fifteenth century C.E. from Egypt and Palestine, Documents and the History of the Early Islamic World explores the untapped...

Power, Politics and the Cults of Isis: Proceedings of the Vth International Conference of Isis Studies, Boulogne-Sur-Mer, October 13-15, 2011 (Organis
ISBN: 9789004277182 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Hellenistic and Roman world intimate relations existed between those holding power and the cults of Isis. This book is the first to chart these various appropriations over time within a comparative perspective. Ten carefully selected case studies show that "the Egyptian gods" were no exotic outsiders to the Hellenistic and Roman Mediterranean, but constituted a well institutionalised and frequently used religious option. Ranging from the early Ptolemies and Seleucids to late Antiquity, the case studies illustrate how much symbolic meaning was made with the cults of Isis by kings,...

In the winter of 1922-23 archaeologist Howard Carter and his wealthy patron George Herbert, the Fifth Earl of Carnarvon, sensationally opened the tomb of Tutenkhamen. Six weeks later Herbert, the sponsor of the expedition, died in Egypt. The popular press went wild with rumours of a curse on those who disturbed the Pharaoh's rest and for years followed every twist and turn of the fate of the men who had been involved in the historic discovery. Long dismissed by Egyptologists, the mummy's curse remains a part of popular supernatural belief. Roger Luckhurst explores why the myth has captured...

Akhenaten and the Origins of Monotheism
ISBN: 9780199792085 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Pharaoh Akhenaten, who reigned for seventeen years in the fourteenth century B.C.E, is one of the most intriguing rulers of ancient Egypt. His odd appearance and his preoccupation with worshiping the sun disc Aten have stimulated academic discussion and controversy for more than a century. Despite the numerous books and articles about this enigmatic figure, many questions about Akhenaten and the Atenism religion remain unanswered. In Akhenaten and the Origins of Monotheism, James K. Hoffmeier argues that Akhenaten was not, as is often said, a radical advocating a new religion,...

The Standard of Ur
ISBN: 9780714151137 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Standard of Ur is one of the most famous objects to be discovered from ancient Mesopotamia. It was unearthed in a tomb in 1927 by Leonard Woolley during his archaeological excavations of the 'Royal Cemetery' of Ur located in present-day Iraq.
Ur, one of the world's first cities, was highly important politically and economically around 2600-2500 BC when the Sumerian rulers of the city were buried in tombs filled with ornate, valuable objects and with evidence of elaborate rituals and human sacrifice. Without the artifacts from the tombs of Ur it would be very difficult for us today to... The Standard of Ur is one of the most famous objects to be discovered from ancient Mesopotamia.

A careful examination of the architecture, setting, and unique text and image programs of these tombs in context provides a foundation for considering...

GRASSROOTS VIEW OF ACIENT EGYPT - Looking for a solid book offering thoughtful and inquiring ideas reinforced by wonderful photographic imagery, then Grassroots View of Ancient Egypt is a remarkable foray into the provocative questions regarding the manner in which Nile Valley culture has been portrayed across the spectrum as viewed by the "Man in the Street," and thus serves as a corrective and contribution to African historiographic reconstruction. That ancient Egypt is misrepresented in presentation and thus mis-understanding today as a result of early archaeological excavators' "rush to...
