Dans ce deuxième tome du Rig Veda, vous trouverez les mandalas de 7 à 10. Avec le septième, le plus ancien de ce tome, nous découvrons la guerre de dix rois, qui unifiera le peuple védiqueLe huitième est plus récent. Il date probablement de 3000 BCE environ, et nous révèle une spiritualité plus avancée.Le neuvième ne contient que des hymnes à Soma datant de toutes les époques. C'était lui qui clôturait la précédente compilation du Rig Veda. Le dixième a été ajouté plus tard, vraisemblablement aux alentours de 2100 BCE, après la pénurie de soma due à la grande sécheresse de 2200 BCE.

Le Rig Veda est un recueil de 1028 hymnes adressés aux forces de la nature déifiées. Des métaphores, le plus souvent guerrières, nous permettent de comprendre la vie des populations védiques, situées entre le Gange et l'Indus, il y a entre 4 000 et 6 000 ans. L'illumination spirituelle était le but principal de ce peuple, individuellement, mais aussi collectivement. Ils utilisaient une plante enthéogène, le soma, très probablement un champignon, dans leurs sacrifices pour atteindre l'immortalité. Cette traduction tient compte des découvertes scientifiques faites depuis plus d'un siècle.

Although no one has ever heard of Elohic, it is still much older than magic. Even before the world was created, the Elohic already existed. Magic did not yet. Elohim Himself is the inventor, creator, owner, executor of the Elohic, which is the complete opposite of magic. Magic is occult and its master is Satan, who is a created being of Elohim and who put his head in a noose because of his arrogance, his pride, his rebellion. And yet magic has its appeal, it appeals to the sin, the evil in us and wants to drive us to rebel against Elohim just as Satan has already done and continues to do to this day. What do you do if you don't want to sin and yet being fascinated by magic? Elohic has long been able to do what magic can do. For this reason, I - who has been fascinated by magic from an early age - have "created" or compiled Elohic as a counterpart to magic, in order to give Elohim and His teachings something that appeals to people, without certainly twisting what is not there in Elohim. I don't make Him fit me, but I bring Him to people in such a way that they realize He wants good for them, He is just as "cool" (or cooler) as Satan's magic, because Elohim also has supernatural powers and a life with Him can also be super exciting if you want it to be.It may seem magical to you, but it is elohic.In this book you will find out exactly what Elohic is, how to apply it and how you can discover and unleash your own Elohic power.

Soturiksi syntyneen ja kasvatetun Audatan sydän on murtunut, sillä hänen elämänsä muuttui peruuttamattomasti aikaisemmassa taistelussa verivihollista vastaan.Audatan itsenäistä elämää linnoituksessa läheistensä keskellä uhkaa toinenkin sysimusta pilvi: vihollisheimon päällikön poika, Deon, on rakastunut Audataan tulisesti ja Deon on päättänyt itsepintaisesti ottaa Audatan vaimokseen vasten tämän omaa tahtoa.Deon ja hänen isänsä punovat yhdessä suunnitelmaansa, jonka tavoitteena on kaataa Audata Deonin syliin ja ottaa valta sotaisasta arosta sen voimakkaimpana heimona. Audatalla liittolaisineen on silti sanansa sanottavana tässä: Audata ei aio antautua Deonille taisteluitta. Sodassa ja rakkaudessa mikään ei ole kiellettyä, ja Deonilla ei ole aikomustakaan perääntyä. Audatan sydämessä elää kuitenkin yhä toinen mies, ja tämä mielessään Audata on valmis tähtäämään miekkansa terän kohti Deonin sydäntä.Onnistuuko Audata säilyttämään vapautensa ja pysäyttämään Deonin, joka raivaa esteitä tieltään kuin luonnonvoima? Miten Audatalle käy viimeisessä taistelussa? Viimeinen taistelu on jännittävä tarina valtataistelusta antiikin ajassa, jossa sekä naiset että miehet kasvoivat sotureiksi ja kohtasivat toisensa tasavertaisina taistelukentällä ja sen ulkopuolella. Tarinan maailma perustuu aitoon historialliseen todellisuuteen. Viimeinen taistelu on Soturikuningatar-sarjan toinen osa.

Im Dialog Timaios entwickelt Platon eine Kosmologie, wobei im besonderen der Aufbau der stofflichen Welt, der Wahrnehmungswelt, aus den vier Elementen Feuer, Luft, Wasser, Erde dargestellt ist (diese nehmen die geometrische Form sogenannter platonischer Körper an). Insbesondere geht es darum, dass die vier Elemente bei der Gestaltung der Welt in möglichst schöner Weise, in Orientierung an die mathematische Verhältnisgleichheit, miteinander in Verbindung treten sollen. Die vorliegende Arbei befasst sich nun mit diesem (dem Verständnis Schwierigkeiten bereitenden) Kapitel von Platons Kosmologie.

Trebellia ist verzweifelt: Der Vater will sie gegen ihren Willen zur Hochzeit mit dem Sohn eines Parteigängers im Stadtrat zwingen. Dabei liebt sie doch Pytheos, den ehemaligen Hauslehrer. Der aber ist verschwunden, seit das Sklavenheer des Spartacus in der Nähe vorüberzog. In dem Jahr, das seither verstrichen ist, wurden die Aufständischen von der römischen Armee geschlagen, und ausgerechnet ihr Bruder Marcus hat sich bei der Jagd auf die besiegten Sklaven den Ruf als "Bluthund" erworben. Nun hat sie jede Hoffnung aufgegeben. Plötzlich jedoch steht sie auf dem Marktplatz ihrer kleinen Stadt im Norden Italiens dem Geliebten gegenüber. Diese Begegnung reißt sie aus ihrem ruhigen Landleben und zieht sie in einen Strudel dramatischer Ereignisse, an die sie nicht einmal im Traum gedacht hat. Haben die beiden eine Chance, an der Seite seiner zwei treuen Gefährten den Kämpfen der Sklaven untereinander und dem langen Arm Roms zu entkommen?Dives' Roman verzichtet bewusst auf breite Massenszenen und den Auftritt historischer Persönlichkeiten. Stattdessen stellt er Durchschnittsmenschen - Freie und Sklaven - ins Zentrum und zeigt, was soziale Konflikte, Flucht und Vertriebensein für den Einzelnen bedeuten.

Zwar befindet sie sich noch immer in Rom, allerdings über 2000 Jahre früher, zur Zeit Cäsars. Doch mit Minikleid und Stilettos durch das antike Rom zu ziehen ist, trotz eines Hauchs göttlicher Magie, gar nicht so ungefährlich.In dieser Welt voller Intrigen trifft Helena auf den geheimnisvollen Flavius, einen verschlossenen, aber furchtlosen Centurio des Römischen Reiches und schafft es einen Blick hinter seine undurchdringliche Fassade zu erhaschen. Mutig versucht sie nun ihr Leben selbst in die Hand zu nehmen und reißt dabei auch Flavius mit, sich von seiner eigenen dunklen Vergangenheit zu befreien. Noch während die Schicksalsgöttinnen ihre Fäden knüpfen, entfaltet sich eine zarte Liebe, die gegen die Wirren der Zeit und die Verschwörungen des antiken Roms kämpfen muss.Und letztlich bleibt die Frage:Trennen sie die Jahrtausende oder verbindet sie ihre Liebe?

By far the most comprehensive study of the subterranean structure known as the Osireion, its relationship to the main temple complex of Seti I, and surrounding sacred landscape at Abydos. The Osireion contains an enormous wealth of information with its encyclopedic array of New Kingdom Underworld Books and provides a unique insight into the ancient Egyptian worldview, circa 1300 B.C. at the beginning of the Nineteenth Dynasty, following the tumultuous Amarna Heresy. It was built by Seti I as part of his program to re-establish the abode of Osiris, abolished by the heretic Akhenaten, thus explaining its form as a subterranean architectural rendition of the Duat itself, the realm of Osiris as Ruler of the West. Built on the same axis as Seti's Mansion of Millions of Years, it was from the beginning to have been an integral part of this complex. Its ancient name, "Beneficial is Menmaatre (Seti I) for Osiris", points to is purpose. Two graffiti from Dynasties XXI and XXII provide further insights as to how the ancient Egyptian priests perceived this unique structure, calling it "hidden/mysterious place of the Duat of Menmaatre" and in a greeting "Hail to you! Isis in the birth house".

This volume is the first in a new series of editions of Coptic-language "magical" manuscripts from Egypt, written on papyrus, ostraca, parchment, and paper, and dating to between the fourth and twelfth centuries CE. Their texts attest to non-institutional rituals intended to bring about changes in the lives of those who used them - heal disease, curse enemies, bring about love or hatred, or see into the future. These manuscripts represent rich sources of information on daily life and lived religion of Egypt in the last centuries of Roman rule and the first centuries after the Arab conquest, giving us glimpses of the hopes and fears of people of this time, their conflicts and problems, and their vision of the human and superhuman worlds. This volume presents 37 new editions and descriptions of manuscripts, focusing on formularies or "handbooks", those texts containing instructions for the performance of rituals. Each of these is accompanied by a history of its acquisition, a material description, and presented with facing text and translations, tracings of accompanying images, and explanatory notes to aid in understanding the text.

In this beautifully designed special edition, Professor George G. M. James explains how the ancient Greeks learned a lot from the Egyptian priests and used that knowledge to develop their philosophy. The book features large, easy-to-read fonts for a comfortable reading experience. He talks about famous philosophers like Thales, Anaximander, Plato, and Socrates, who were seen as outsiders in Greece because they brought ideas influenced by Egypt. The book also compares what these philosophers taught with the teachings of the Egyptian Mystery System, which existed long before Greek philosophy. The main idea is that Greek philosophy didn't come from nowhere but was heavily influenced by Egyptian wisdom.

Chandigarh is a giant experiment in town planning and architecture in India and the world. Being one of the best cities planned and built afresh on virgin land, Chandigarh attracted the global community of architects, planners, and historians. Resultantly, copious works have been written on Chandigarh, and much literature exists on the subject."Making of Chandigarh: A Vintage History" is the latest addition to the number of books written by various authors on this subject. Of all the treatises published earlier, this book is unique in its approach, contents, and presentation. The book focuses on recording the process of making a city through 575 black-and-white photographs. Several photographers have clicked these photographs since the city's inception in 1950 till the 1990s. This book is a tribute to the numerous known and unknown photographers who recorded the history of Chandigarh through their photographs.It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and photographers are worth a million. Imagine, if we glance through hundreds of pictures clicked on a particular subject over a period of 40 years beginning in 1950, how easy it will be to grasp the historical aspect of that subject! With this aim, the "Making of Chandigarh: A Vintage History" has been conceived and presented as a pictorial journey of the city.Apart from the rich collection of vintage photos, the book includes more than 50 drawings of important city buildings and campuses. An elaborated essay, 'Making of Chandigarh', explains the whole story of the capital city and throws light on the essential campuses, complexes and buildings designed by master architects like Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, Maxwell Fry, Jane Drew, and their Indian colleagues.

Egyptian civilization lasted for about three thousand years, producing icons that, even today, populate and intrigue people's imagination. Pyramids, animal-headed gods, sphinxes, mummies, hieroglyphs, deeds and concepts that marked the capacity of a people who lived their heyday many millennia ago, in a time so primitive that such accomplishments assume almost fantastic dimensions. This book on Egyptian Mythology not only brings the main gods and their attributes, but also contextualizes the history, religion and cosmogonies of this incredible people, taking you on a journey through time through this remarkable civilization.

This transdisciplinary edited volume explores the concept of queenship in antiquity and the present. Featuring the work of scholars, educators and artists, this book gathers temporally and geographically distant ideas about queenship into a single discursive space. Invigorating the conversation around powerful historical women and their legacies, the contributors discuss 'queenship' as a concept with contemporary urgency, conducive to critical and creative interventions that address the gaps within archives and current cultural and socio-political representation. Although traditional narratives present queens of the ancient Mediterranean world as the wives, daughters, and mothers of kings - emphasizing formidable, stand-out examples such as Semiramis and Cleopatra - the ways in which royal women wielded power, whether directly or indirectly, were actually multivariate, highly nuanced and culturally specific. Current scholarship featured in this volume is concerned with teasing out modern, western assumptions that have heavily colored interpretations of gender and power in antiquity. This volume attempts to dismantle the problematic historical narratives and constructions of queenship by presenting different kinds of receptions and speculative articulations of historical queenship, thus forging new paths forward.
