  A transporting anthology of ancient Greek and Roman travel writings that capture the thrill of exploration and discovery—from Europe to the Holy Land and Egypt to IndiaAt long last, a travel guide to the ancient world for the modern tourist—written by the ancients themselves. How to Travel gathers classic texts from Greek and Roman writers to explore what today’s readers can learn from ancient encounters with unfamiliar peoples, places, and customs.The Greek historian Herodotus (ca. 484–425 BCE) is one of the most famous travelers of antiquity. His Histories, which chronicle his and others’ encounters with foreign peoples and places, have fascinated readers for millennia, and have much to teach about the secrets of good travel. In How to Travel, Herodotus and Tacitus take us on tours of Central Asia, Egypt, and Germania, while pilgrims like Pausanias and the Christian nun Egeria guide us through Greece and the Holy Land. Readers are whisked away to India to experience the ways of forest-dwelling sages and to the far reaches of Africa. And as if Earth weren’t enough, the satirist Lucian takes us to the Moon. But this whirlwind tour of antiquity is more than a pleasure cruise. Seneca cautions travelers that, go as far as we may, we can never escape ourselves. Gratitude, Egeria says, is the traveler’s proper response for the privilege. And Homer reminds us that, ultimately, there’s no place like home.Featuring vivid new translations, an inviting introduction, and the original Greek and Latin texts on facing pages, How to Travel captures the thrill of exploration and discovery—and how new experiences, fresh vistas, and foreign cultures can change the traveler.

  LOOK, NOBODY'S GOING TO SUGARCOAT IT - GERMAN HAS A REPUTATION 
  Four grammar cases. Crazy long words. Those guttural sounds that make your throat hurt. 
  Everyone's heard the jokes. Your friends probably laughed when you said you were learning German. "Good luck with that," they said. 
  But here's what nobody tells you: German gets a bad rap it doesn't deserve. 
  The truth? If you speak English, you're already halfway there. German and English are linguistic cousins - thousands of words are nearly identical. "Water" is "Wasser." "Book" is "Buch." You already know more German than you think. 
  The real problem isn't German itself. It's how most people try to learn it - drowning in grammar tables before they can even say "Guten Tag." 
  "Conversational German Dialogues" by Language Mastery flips that approach completely. 
  HERE'S WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS: 
  ✓ 100+ real conversations by native German speakers - the German people actually use in Berlin, Munich, and Vienna 
  ✓ Two-speed audio: Start slow to nail pronunciation, then speed up as your brain catches on 
  ✓ Story-driven learning that's actually interesting - vocabulary just sticks while you're entertained 
  ✓ Grammar you absorb naturally - no memorizing tables, just learning like kids do 
  ✓ Quick comprehension checks so you know you're progressing

  ✓ Stop being intimidated and start enjoying German 
  ✓ Understand native speakers without panicking 
  ✓ Speak with confidence (even if your grammar isn't perfect yet) 
  ✓ Open doors to career opportunities in Europe's largest economy

  Egyptian Revival - The Influence...

  Omar Khalil

  The fascination with Ancient Egypt has influenced architectural and artistic movements for centuries, culminating in what is known as the Egyptian Revival. This movement, characterized by its adaptation of ancient Egyptian motifs, emerged in response to rediscoveries of Egypt’s past. The revival gained traction during the 18th and 19th centuries, driven by archaeological discoveries, historical curiosity, and a growing appreciation for non-European artistic traditions. 
  One of the key moments that ignited interest in Ancient Egypt was Napoleon Bonaparte’s Egyptian campaign (1798–1801). This military expedition was not just an act of conquest but also a scientific endeavor that brought scholars, artists, and historians to document Egypt’s ancient ruins. The most significant outcome of this campaign was the publication of the “Description de l'Égypte,” a comprehensive collection of illustrations and studies that introduced Europe to the architectural grandeur of Egypt. The discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799 further fueled this fascination, as it eventually led to the deciphering of Egyptian hieroglyphics, allowing deeper insights into the civilization’s history and culture. 
  The widespread enthusiasm for Ancient Egypt in the early 19th century gave rise to what historians call “Egyptomania.” This cultural phenomenon influenced literature, fashion, decorative arts, and architecture. Egyptian imagery, including sphinxes, obelisks, and pyramidal forms, began to appear in European cityscapes. The influence was particularly noticeable in monumental architecture, where designers sought to capture the imposing and symbolic nature of ancient Egyptian structures. The fascination with Egypt was further fueled by colonial expansion, as European powers took a vested interest in the region’s antiquities.
