A broad blossom\r\nterminates it at its upper end; a button of a bud projects from the\r\nstalk a little below the blossom, on the left-hand side. The broad\r\nblossom is the Delta, extending from Aboosir to Tineh, a direct distance\r\nof a hundred and eighty miles, which the projection of the coastthe\r\ngraceful swell of the petalsenlarges to two hundred and thirty. The\r\nbud is the Fayoum, a natural depression in the hills that shut in the\r\nNile valley on the west, which has been rendered cultivable for many\r\nthousands of years by the introduction into it of the Nile water,\r\nthrough a canal known as the \"Bahr Yousouf.\" The long stalk of the lily\r\nis the Nile valley itself, which is a ravine scooped in the rocky soil\r\nfor seven hundred miles from the First Cataract to the apex of the\r\nDelta, sometimes not more than a mile broad, never more than eight or\r\nten miles. No other country in the world is so strangely shaped, so\r\nlong compared to its width, so straggling, so hard to govern from a\r\nsingle centre.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 15663 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Gilman, Arthur \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Apr 20, 2005 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributor (Author)\u003c\/b\u003e: Rawlinson, George, 1812-1902 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Gilman, Arthur,1837-1909 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217281712285,"sku":"gb-15663-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/15663.jpg?v=1671422713"},{"product_id":"history-of-egypt-chaldea-syria-babylonia-and-assyria-in-the-light-of-recent-discovery-gb-17321","title":"History of Egypt, Chaldea, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria in the Light of Recent Discovery","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHistory of Egypt, Chaldea, Syria, Babylonia, and Assyria in the Light of Recent Discovery\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n      The present volume contains an account of the most important additions\r\n      which have been made to our knowledge of the ancient history of Egypt and\r\n      Western Asia during the few years which have elapsed since the publication\r\n      of Prof. Masperos Histoire Ancienne des Peuples de lOrient Classique,\r\n      and includes short descriptions of the excavations from which these\r\n      results have been obtained. It is in no sense a connected and continuous\r\n      history of these countries, for that has already been written by Prof.\r\n      Maspero, but is rather intended as an appendix or addendum to his work,\r\n      briefly recapitulating and describing the discoveries made since its\r\n      appearance. On this account we have followed a geographical rather than a\r\n      chronological system of arrangement, but at the same time the attempt has\r\n      been made to suggest to the mind of the reader the historical sequence of\r\n      events.\r\n    \n\r\n      At no period have excavations been pursued with more energy and activity,\r\n      both in Egypt and Western Asia, than at the present time, and every\r\n      seasons work obliges us to modify former theories, and extends our\r\n      knowledge of periods of history which even ten years ago were unknown to\r\n      the historian. For instance, a whole chapter has been added to Egyptian\r\n      history by the discovery of the Neolithic culture of the primitive\r\n      Egyptians, while the recent excavations at Susa are revealing a hitherto\r\n      totally unsuspected epoch of proto-Elamite civilization. Further than\r\n      this, we have discovered the relics of the oldest historical kings of\r\n      Egypt, and we are now enabled to reconstitute from material as yet\r\n      unpublished the inter-relations of the early dynasties of Babylon.\r\n      Important discoveries have also been made with regard to isolated points\r\n      in the later historical periods. We have therefore attempted to include\r\n      the most important of these in our survey of recent excavations and their\r\n      results. We would again remind the reader that Prof. Masperos great work\r\n      must be consulted for the complete history of the period, the present\r\n      volume being, not a connected history of Egypt and Western Asia, but a\r\n      description and discussion of the manner in which recent discovery and\r\n      research have added to and modified our conceptions of ancient Egyptian\r\n      and Mesopotamian civilization.\r\n    \n\n \n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 17321 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Hall, H.

In the time\r\n      when the gods were not created, not one as yet, when they had neither been\r\n      called by their names, nor had their destinies been assigned to them by\r\n      fate, gods manifested themselves. Lakhmu and Lakhamu were the first to\r\n      appear, and waxed great for ages; then Anshar and Kishar were produced\r\n      after them. Days were added to days, and years were heaped upon years:\r\n      Anu, Inlil, and Ea were born in their turn, for Anshar and Kishar had\r\n      given them birth. As the generations emanated one from the other, their\r\n      vitality increased, and the personality of each became more clearly\r\n      defined; the last generation included none but beings of an original\r\n      character and clearly marked individuality. Anu, the sunlit sky by day,\r\n      the starlit firmament by night; Inlil-Bel, the king of the earth; Ea, the\r\n      sovereign of the waters and the personification of wisdom.*** Each of them\r\n      duplicated himself, Anu into Anat, Bel into Belit, Ea into Damkina, and\r\n      united himself to the spouse whom he had deduced from himself. Other\r\n      divinities sprang from these fruitful pairs, and the impulse once given,\r\n      the world was rapidly peopled by their descendants. Sin, Shamash, and\r\n      Kamman, who presided respectively over the moon, the sun, and the air,\r\n      were all three of equal rank; next came the lords of the planets, Ninib,\r\n      Merodach, Nergal, the warrior-goddess Ishtar, and Nebo; then a whole army\r\n      of lesser deities, who ranged themselves around Anu as round a supreme\r\n      master. Timat, finding her domain becoming more and more restricted owing\r\n      to the activity of the others, desired to raise battalion against\r\n      battalion, and set herself to create unceasingly; but her offspring, made\r\n      in her own image, appeared like those incongruous phantoms which men see\r\n      in dreams, and which are made up of members borrowed from a score of\r\n      different animals. They appeared in the form of bulls with human heads, of\r\n      horses with the snouts of dogs, of dogs with quadruple bodies springing\r\n      from a single fish-like tail. Some of them had the beak of an eagle or a\r\n      hawk; others, four wings and two faces; others, the legs and horns of a\r\n      goat; others, again, the hind quarters of a horse and the whole body of a\r\n      man. Timat furnished them with terrible weapons, placed them under the\r\n      command of her husband Kingu, and set out to war against the gods.\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 17323 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Maspero, G.

For one thing, it is linked very closely to\r\nPalestine by all those beautiful stories of the Old Testament, which\r\ntell us of Joseph, the slave-boy who became Viceroy of Egypt; of Moses,\r\nthe Hebrew child who became a Prince of Pharaoh's household; and of the\r\nwonderful exodus of the Children of Israel.\nBut besides that, it is a land which has a most strange and wonderful\r\nstory of its own. No other country has so long a history of great Kings,\r\nand wise men, and brave soldiers; and in no other country can you see\r\nanything to compare with the great buildings, some of them most\r\nbeautiful, all of them most wonderful, of which Egypt has so many. We\r\nhave some old and interesting buildings in this country, and people go\r\nfar to see cathedrals and castles that are perhaps five or[Pg 2] six hundred\r\nyears old, or even more; but in Egypt, buildings of that age are looked\r\nupon as almost new, and nobody pays very much attention to them.

The German\noriginals have been appearing during the last eighteen\nmonths.

The\nPrussian exploration expedition of 1842-45 gave\nspecial attention to this site, where indeed were\nfound, about sixty miles south of Minieh, extensive\nruins, beginning at the village of Haggi\nKandil and covering the floor of a rock-bound\nvalley named after the fellahin village, El Amarna.\nAt that time the ground-plan of the city was still\neasy to distinguish; the regular lines of the streets\ncould be traced, and enough could be seen of the\ngreat design of the principal temple to excite the\nadmiration of the discoverers. This example of the\nlaying out of an ancient Egyptian town still remains\nalmost unique, for of old, as now, private buildings\nwere constructed of flimsy material.

It is intended to supplement the books already in the hands\n        of tourists and students, and to put before them just that\n        information which either is not readily accessible or else forms part\n        of larger and cumbrous works. The travels of Herodotos in Egypt are\n        followed for the first time in the light of recent discoveries, and\n        the history of the intercourse between the Egyptians and the Jews is\n        brought down to the age of the Roman Empire. As the ordinary\n        histories of Egypt used by travellers end with the extinction of the\n        native Pharaohs, I have further given a sketch of the Ptolemaic\n        period. I have moreover specially noted the results of the recent\n        excavations and discoveries made by the Egypt [pg viii] Exploration Fund and by\n        Professor Flinders Petrie, at all events where they bear upon the\n        subject-matter of the book. Those who have not the publications of\n        the Fund or of Professor Petrie, or who do not care to carry them\n        into Egypt, will, I believe, be glad to have the essence of them thus\n        extracted in a convenient shape. Lastly, in the Appendices I have put\n        together information which the visitor to the Nile often wishes to\n        obtain, but which he can find in none of his guide-books. The\n        Appendix on the nomes embodies the results of the latest researches,\n        and the list will therefore be found to differ here and there from\n        the lists which have been published elsewhere. Those who desire the\n        assistance of maps should procure the very handy and complete\n        Atlas of\n        Ancient Egypt, published by the Egypt Exploration Fund\n        (price 3s. 6d.). It makes the addition of maps to this or any future\n        work on Ancient Egypt superfluous.\nDiscoveries follow\n        so thickly one upon the other in these days of active exploration\n        that [pg ix] it is impossible for an\n        author to keep pace with them. Since my manuscript was ready for the\n        press Dr. Naville, on behalf of the Egypt Exploration Fund, has\n        practically cleared the magnificent temple of Queen Hatshepsu at Dr\n        el-Bhari, and has discovered beneath it the unfinished sepulchre in\n        which the queen fondly hoped that her body would be laid; Professor\n        Petrie has excavated in the desert behind Zawdeh and opposite Qoft\n        the tombs of barbarous tribes, probably of Libyan origin, who settled\n        in the valley of the Nile between the fall of the sixth and the rise\n        of the eleventh dynasty; Mr. de Morgan has disinterred more jewellery\n        of exquisite workmanship from the tombs of the princesses of the\n        twelfth dynasty at Dahshr; and Dr. Botti has discovered the site of\n        the Serapeum at Alexandria, thus obtaining for the first time a point\n        of importance for determining the topography of the ancient city.\nThe people whose\n        remains have been found by Professor Petrie buried their dead in open\n        [pg x] situated in the central court. But\n        his most interesting discovery is that of long subterranean passages,\n        once faced with masonry, and furnished with niches for lamps, where\n        the mysteries of Serapis were celebrated. At the entrance of one of\n        them pious visitors to the shrine have scratched their vows on the\n        wall of rock. Those who are interested in the discovery should\n        consult Dr. Botti's memoir on L'Acropole d'Alexandrie et le\n        Srapeum, presented to the Archological Society of\n        Alexandria, 17th August 1895.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 38843 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Sayce, A.

She discusses the nature of myths and the history of Egypt, from the predynastic to the postpharaonic period. She explains how Egyptian culture developed around the flooding of the Nile, or the \"inundation,\" a phenomenon on which the whole welfare of the country depended, and how aspects of the inundation were personified as deities. She explains that the usually cloudless skies made for a preoccupation with the stars and planets. Indeed, much early Egyptian mythology may have developed to explain the movement of these celestial bodies. She provides a timeline covering the seven stages in the mythical history of Egypt and outlining the major events of each stage, such as the reign of the sun God. A substantial A to Z section covers the principal themes and concepts of Egyptian mythology as well as the most important deities, demons, and other characters.

This was a special teaching describing the secret wisdom about the nature of the universe and of the soul as well as a path to make the journey, through varied phases of spiritual evolution, from mortal to immortal and from earth to heaven and beyond. The goal is to regain ones divine stature and transcendental place. In its earliest form, originated in Ancient Egypt, it was related to theurgical religious system developed in the priests and priestesses of the Ancient Egyptian city of Anu and the Tree was seen as the source of life. This book explains that teaching, which has been available to all, but missed by those who did not possess the keys to unlock its mystic formula. In this volume the Creation teaching of Anu, the TREE OF LIFE metaphysical teachings, disciplines and techniques, from the hieroglyphic texts, are given. This new expanded edition contains original translations of the texts whereby the teachings, that are discussed, originate from. Thus, the avid student of the Ancient Egyptian Mysteries may see the source of the mystic wisdom for themselves directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manuscript \"The Kemetic Tree of Life\" by Dr. Muata Ashby is a profound exploration of ancient Egyptian spirituality and philosophy.

Toward that end, the author begins with a general discussion of Middle Egyptian and its script, followed by concise, accessible lessons in phonology, formation and usage of nouns and other parts of speech, and syntax. With careful study, the student should be able, even after the first lesson, to translate simple sentences independently.

She was married twice, each time to a brother. She waged a brutal civil war against the first when both were teenagers. She poisoned the second.

They happen, however, to have been Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, among the most prominent Romans of the day. Both were married to other women. Cleopatra had a child with Caesar and -- after his murder -- three more with his protégé.

Hermes Trismegistus may be associated with the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. Greeks in the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt recognized the equivalence of Hermes and Thoth through the interpretatio graeca. Consequently, the two gods were worshiped as one, in what had been the Temple of Thoth in Khemenu, which was known in the Hellenistic period as Hermopolis. Hermes, the Greek god of interpretive communication, was combined with Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom. The Egyptian priest and polymath Imhotep had been deified long after his death and therefore assimilated to Thoth in the classical and Hellenistic periods. The renowned scribe Amenhotep and a wise man named Teôs were coequal deities of wisdom, science, and medicine; and, thus, they were placed alongside Imhotep in shrines dedicated to Thoth-Hermes during the Ptolemaic Kingdom. Some authorities regard Hermes Trismegistus as a contemporary of Abraham, and claim that Abraham acquired a portion of his mystical knowledge from Hermes himself. Christian writers considered Hermes to be a wise pagan prophet who foresaw the coming of Christianity. They believed in the existence of a single theology that threads through all religions. It was given by God to man in antiquity and passed through a series of prophets, which included Zoroaster and Plato. In order to demonstrate the verity of this thesis, Christians appropriated the Hermetic teachings for their own purposes. By this account, Hermes Trismegistus was either a contemporary of Moses, or the third in a line of men named Hermes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Hermes Trismegistus \/ Hardcover \/ English","offer_id":47283967197341,"sku":"9781774378458","price":76.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_788bee36-8cc6-483b-97e4-3f4e25f44ae1.jpg?v=1759977025"},{"product_id":"where-are-the-great-pyramids-9780448484099","title":"Where Are the Great Pyramids?","description":"The Great Pyramids of Egypt--all kids over the age of five recognize them instantly.

Sheppard begins with some of the earliest European women who ventured to Egypt as travelers: Amelia Edwards, Jenny Lane, and Marianne Brocklehurst. Their travelogues, diaries and maps chronicled a new world for the curious. In the vast desert, Maggie Benson, the first woman granted permission to excavate in Egypt, met Nettie Gourlay, the woman who became her lifelong companion. They battled issues of oppression and exclusion and, ultimately, are credited with excavating the Temple of Mut. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As each woman scored a success in the desert, she set up the women who came later for their own struggles and successes. Emma Andrews' success as a patron and archaeologist helped to pave the way for Margaret Murray to teach. Margaret's work in the university led to the artists Amice Calverley's and Myrtle Broome's ability to work on site at Abydos, creating brilliant reproductions of tomb art, and to Kate Bradbury's and Caroline Ransom's leadership in critical Egyptological institutions. \u003ci\u003eWomen in the Valley of the Kings\u003c\/i\u003e upends the grand male narrative of Egyptian exploration and shows how a group of courageous women charted unknown territory and changed the field of Egyptology forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Sheppard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.38w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250284358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2024 pg. 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2024 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKathleen Sheppard was born and raised in the Midwestern United States, where she has now settled after years away.

Soon after being founded by Alexander the Great, Alexandria became the crucible of cultural exchange between East and West for millennia and the undisputed global capital of knowledge.

Major empires fought over Alexandria, from the Greeks and Romans to the Arabs, Ottomans, French, and British. Key figures shaped the city from its eponymous founder to Aristotle, Cleopatra, Saint Mark the Evangelist, Napoleon Bonaparte and many others, each putting their own stamp on its identity and its fortunes. And millions of people have lived in this bustling seaport on the Mediterranean.

Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Massey was one of the first Egyptologists in modern times to suggest that with the final eclipse of the old Land of Kam [a.k.a. ancient Egypt], a brilliant light had been extinguished in world civilization. There was a small compensation in the often meteoric rise of other cultures subsequently, but the luminance of these later cultures was, Massey suggests, a paler reflection of the Nile Valley sun that had set. In this, the most philosophical of his works on ancient Egypt, Massey leads a tour through thousands of years of sociological, cultural, and spiritual development, all the while pointing, with dazzling reason and persuasive prose, to a distant, common, Egyptian origin. In the first volume Massey was primarily interested in elaborating how the first humans emerging in Africa created thought. What had been evident to him from the outset was that the myths, rituals and religion of ancient Egypt--or Old Kam--had preserved virtually intact a record of the psycho-mythic evolution of humanity. In the second volume Massey examines the celestial phenomenon known as the Precession of the Equinoxes. He believed that only by understanding this phenomenon was it possible to fathom Nile Valley history. The last half of the second volume is devoted to the Kamite sources of Christianity. Massey sought to demonstrate the manner in which New Testament Christianity evolved directly out of Osirian mysteries. One of the more important aspects of Massey's writings were his assertions that there were parallels between Jesus and the Egyptian god Horus. Massey, for example, argued that: both Horus and Jesus were born of virgins on 25 December, raised men from the dead (Massey speculates that the biblical Lazarus, raised from the dead by Jesus, has a parallel in El-Asar-Us, a title of Osiris), died by crucifixion and were resurrected three days later. These assertions have influenced various later writers such as Alvin Boyd Kuhn, Tom Harpur, Yosef Ben-Jochannan, and D.M. Murdock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Massey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Martino Fine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 7.44w x 1.89d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781614277507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Gerald Massey \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":47285977546909,"sku":"9781614277507","price":69.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_cc0f7adc-9434-406c-a201-6acef09ec526.jpg?v=1760013228"},{"product_id":"the-egyptian-book-of-the-dead-wisdom-of-the-ancient-papyrus-of-ani-9781398844728","title":"The Egyptian Book of the Dead: Wisdom of the Ancient Papyrus of Ani","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis luxurious hardback edition presents the classic ancient text, \u003ci\u003eThe Egyptian Book of the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e, featuring gold gilded page edges and patterned endpapers.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMysterious, powerful and moving, \u003ci\u003eThe Egyptian Book of the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e is an ancient collection of spells, prayers and incantations designed to guide the departed through the perils of the underworld.

In a brilliant piece of reverse engineering based on twenty years of research, Dunn reveals that the Great Pyramid of Giza was actually a large acoustical device! By its size and dimensions, this crystal edifice created a harmonic resonance with the Earth and converted Earth's vibrational energies to microwave radiation. The author shows how the pyramid's numerous chambers and passageways were positioned with the deliberate precision to maximize its acoustical qualities.
