The Sasanian World through Georgian Eyes : Caucasia and the Iranian Commonwealth in Late Antique Georgian Literature
ISBN: 9781472425522 / Angielski / Twarda / 540 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Georgian literary sources for Late Antiquity are commonly held to be later productions devoid of historical value. As a result, scholarship outside the Republic of Georgia has privileged Graeco-Roman and even Armenian narratives. However, when investigated within the dual contexts of a regional literary canon and the active participation of Caucasiaa s diverse peoples in the Iranian Commonwealth, early Georgian texts emerge as a rich repository of late antique attitudes and outlooks. Georgian hagiographical and historiographical compositions open a unique window onto a northern part of the...

Civil Life in Galactic History: God Versus Hierarchy: The Dialectic Between Choice and Bureaucracy
ISBN: 9781502756817 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Where we humans come from and how we got here is a mystery due to the fact of hierarchical and bureaucratic non-disclosure of our ET origins. The REAL STORY of human history is that Anunaki humanoids conquered this planet 450,000 years ago, genetically mixed with the bipeds already here, and returned time and again in their 3616-year orbit cycle from Orion, to dominate, terraform (with pyramids & rock sculptures), crystallize an esoteric ideology, and propagate Occult belief-systems from aeon-to-aeon. The Creator YHVH was among them, but not dominating due to His passive nature. But He spoke...

Modernity, Metatheory, and the Temporal-Spatial Divide: From Mythos to Techne
ISBN: 9781138832619 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is about how modernity affects our perceptions of time and space. Its main argument is that geographical space is used to control temporal progress by channeling it to benefit particular political, economic and social interests, or by halting it altogether. By incorporating the ancient Greek myth of the Titanomachy as a conceptual metaphor to explore the elemental ideas of time and space, the author argues that hegemonic interests have developed spatial hierarchy into a comprehensive system of technocratic monoculture, which interrupts temporal development in order to maintain...

Tiwanaku: A City Lost in Time
ISBN: 9781502877383 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. About 12 miles (20 km) from the shores of Lake Titicaca lie the ruins of what was once the site of the greatest city in South America. Thought by some to date back to 15,000 BC when it might have been on the shore of the lake, it is now considered by radio carbon dating to have begun around 1500 BC and flourished from around 300 to 1000 AD when it probably came to an end due to climate change - a worsening climate meant the area was no longer able to support the industrious agricultural population. One of the most fascinating aspects of the city is the famous Sun Gate, carved with icons said...
