Beschreibung

Ancient Calendars explores how early civilizations tracked time, revealing remarkable ingenuity and providing insights into their societies. These ancient systems weren't just about measuring days; they deeply influenced agriculture, religion, and social structures. For instance, the Egyptian solar calendar dictated planting seasons, while the Mayan calendar intertwined with cosmology and prophecy. The book navigates this historical, social, and scientific context, requiring no specialized knowledge. It progresses from basic timekeeping concepts to detailed examinations of calendars like the Roman one, which eventually evolved into our Gregorian calendar. By understanding these calendrical systems, we gain a deeper appreciation for the intellectual capabilities and worldviews of past civilizations. This book uniquely examines ancient calendars from technical, cultural, and religious perspectives. It highlights how these systems reflect a civilization's relationship with the cosmos and continue to inform our understanding of cultural identity and historical change.

    Did the State of Kentucky convict an innocent man? Moments before boarding a passenger flight on 11 May 2019 as the first officer, pilot Christian "Kit" Martin, a former army ranger, was arrested by a swarm of heavily armed officers for the murders of three of his neighbors. The arrest captured global attention as Martin's mugshot, clad in a pilot's uniform, spread across the internet, sparking a media firestorm with headlines such as "Monster in the Cockpit." A combat helicopter pilot, Kit Martin had seen his life unravel after seeking a divorce. His wife's threatening words, "If you leave me, I will ruin your life …," overheard by his daughter, seemed to have become a grim reality, escalating to a court-martial and culminating in a high-stakes murder trial at which he was convicted. I WILL RUIN YOU: The Twisted Truth Behind the Kit Martin Murder Trial delves into the complex circumstances behind Martin’s story. It looks beyond the sensational headlines and legal turmoil into the heart of this controversial case. With an investigative journalist’s eye, author Emilio Corsetti III presents the facts of the crime that led to the arrest and the extraordinary lengths used to secure a conviction in this unforgettable true crime page-turner.

    There is a small graveyard on a rise outside Adams, Tennessee, on what used to be the Bell farm. The stones are old and worn but still readable. John Bell, born 1750. Lucy Williams Bell, his wife. The children who survived them, who married and farmed, and at last lay down beside their parents. The farm itself is gone, the log house collapsed more than a century ago, and the cornfields grew back to woods. But the graveyard remains, and the road that still passes it gets its fair share of people who come from a long way off to visit it. 
    	They come because of what allegedly happened on that farm between 1817 and 1821, because many believe that during those four years, something occupied the Bell house. It knocked on the walls at night, dragged invisible chains across the upper rooms, pulled the bedclothes off the children, and pinched the 13-year-old daughter until her arms ran blue. It quoted the Bible in a clear human voice and sang Methodist hymns in tune. It attended church services in two different houses simultaneously, according to the testimony of witnesses who later compared notes. It even claimed to have killed John Bell with a small dark vial of poison left in his cupboard. Then, one day, it announced that it was leaving, and it left, never to be heard from again. 
    	This is what the family and hundreds of their neighbors said. A Methodist circuit rider attested to it, as did the two Springfield doctors who came to investigate and the county justice of the peace. James Johnston, who sat up with John Bell through the worst of the nights, also told a similar story. As far as the record shows, none of them ever recanted their claims. 
    	The story of the Bell Witch has been told in Robertson County for over 200 years, and it has been written about in two major works: M.V. Ingram's An Authenticated History of the Bell Witch, published in 1894, and Charles Bailey Bell's The Bell Witch: A Mysterious Spirit, published in 1934.
