Beschreibung

Siberian Frontiers explores Russia's expansion into Siberia, a pivotal period in world history. This territorial acquisition, driven by the lucrative fur trade and the ambition for resources, had profound consequences for indigenous populations and reshaped global commerce. The book highlights how this contiguous land grab differed from overseas colonialism, significantly influencing Russia's identity and its relationship with Asia. The Russian state implemented administrative and legal frameworks, affecting land ownership, taxation, and religious conversion, further altering the region's socio-political landscape. The book presents a comprehensive account of Russia's eastward march from the late 16th through the 19th centuries.

 
Initially, the book sets the stage by examining the diverse indigenous cultures, economies, and political systems of pre-colonial Siberia. It then analyzes the early stages of Russian penetration, focusing on the role of Cossack explorers, fur traders, and state officials in establishing control over key territories. The book connects history with anthropology, economics, and environmental studies, emphasizing the agency of indigenous actors who resisted and adapted to Russian expansion.

    Collapse of Mediterranean Trade...

    The concept of international trade was born in the ancient Mediterranean, which provided the perfect set of circumstances needed to produce an intricate trading system whose influence can still be seen in present-day economic practices. The ancient Mediterranean was home to a diverse range of cultures and landscapes, encompassing deserts, forests, islands and fertile plains. Different natural resources were available in different geographical areas, and with the advent of sailing ships around 3000 B.C., people were suddenly able to travel much further afield than ever before. This created an opportunity to trade local resources in international markets in exchange for exotic goods not available at home.  
    	At the same time, this shift in Mediterranean trade from a local to international scale was a catalyst for immense social, political and economic changes that helped to shape the course of Western Civilization as a whole. Starting with the Egyptians and Minoans around 3000 B.C. until the decline of the Roman Empire at the end of the 5th century A.D., ancient trade in the Mediterranean brought cultures into increasingly close contact with one another, and just as in the globalized world today, these cross-cultural influences came to shape the development of belief systems, languages, economics, politics, and art throughout wide expanses of land. Traders introduced foreign goods, but also foreign ideas and new methods of expression, and they in turn took new ideas home with them from the places they visited.  
    	Most importantly, the evidence researchers have for tracing trade is usually incomplete and scattered due to the destruction brought about by the Sea Peoples, who are credited for ending the Bronze Age with their invasions across the region. The collapse of Mediterranean trade thrust most of the once powerful civilizations along the sea into what historians now call a “Dark Age”, and it would take several centuries to recover.

    “Myth-making Man” did not create the Gods in his own image. The primary divinities of Egypt, such as Sut, Sebek, and Shu, three of the earliest, were represented in the likeness of the Hippopotamus, the Crocodile, and the Lion; whilst Hapi was imaged as an Ape, Anup as a Jackal, Ptah as a Beetle, Taht as an Ibis, Seb as a Goose. So it was the Goddesses. They are the likenesses of powers that were super-human, not human…. A huge mistake has hitherto been made in assuming that the Myth-Makers began by fashioning the Nature-Powers in their own human likeness. –from “Sign Language and Mythology as Primitive Modes of Representation” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 1 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey argues that “primitive man” found no human agency in the phenomena of the natural world, which led to a woeful misinterpretation of Egyptian hieroglyphics by the Greeks and Romans as well as a misunderstanding of the essence of Egyptian mythology. As a consequence, Massey contends, a deep fount of wisdom of the ancients has been lost, and he goes on to reveal how it can be rediscovered. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.
