Synopsis

"Thrones Abandoned" explores the intriguing phenomenon of royal abdication, examining why rulers voluntarily relinquish power. It challenges the notion that power is universally craved by analyzing the personal, political, and societal factors compelling monarchs to abdicate. The book delves into the motivations behind these decisions, such as personal crises or political pressures, and investigates the lasting effects on both the rulers and their former realms.

 
The book looks at how abdication highlights the intricate relationship between personal desires, political realities, and societal expectations. It emphasizes that these decisions are rarely, if ever, purely personal. For instance, a ruler might abdicate due to shifting social norms that challenge the legitimacy of the monarchy, or because of political instability threatening their reign. Through case studies and historical analysis, "Thrones Abandoned" provides a framework for understanding this complex historical phenomenon.

 
The book progresses thematically, beginning with the definition and historical prevalence of abdication. Subsequent chapters explore the motivations, analyze case studies, and examine the consequences. By emphasizing the agency of rulers in choosing to relinquish power, the book offers a unique perspective often overlooked in traditional narratives.

    Bestselling author Erich von Däniken explores the evidence of ancient visitors treated as gods in religious scripture and mythology. His findings shake the foundations of both science and faith.Why do nearly all the world’s major religions share similar myths and legends? Whether it’s the Old Testament, ancient legends, or the creation myths of New Zealand’s natives, you come across similar stories everywhere. Erich von Däniken, author of the international bestseller Chariots of the Gods, believes he knows the answer—and it is as wondrous and awe-inspiring as it is controversial: The winged angels populating the Bible, the Koran, and other religious texts from cultures the world over were, in reality, extraterrestrials who visited the Earth in ages long past.Who were the gods of ancient lore? How can the contradictions in the Bible be explained? Why are the pagodas of Myanmar (formerly Burma) so amazingly similar to space-capable rockets? Erich von Däniken provides convincing new and surprising interpretations and answers that fundamentally contradict both the teachings of religion and current science. His astonishing conclusion: The gods were not metaphysical beings that humans created in their imagination, but extraterrestrial intelligences that have left their traces all over the Earth. He offers persuasive evidence that actual living beings inspired the legends that became the basis for many of our religious traditions.

    Far more than just a faint echo of the past, Ireland's fairy forts are still vibrantly alive. 
    The traditions connected to them are so powerful that, even today, people rarely interfere with Irish fairy forts or fairy trees. They aren't built on; roads curve around them; farmers don't plough over them 
    The most numerous ancient remains in Ireland today, numbering up to 50,000 or more, these enigmatic mounds and grassy banks seem to call out to us from an earlier time. So, what are they, who built them and what were they for? And how have so many survived for so long?
    With evocative photographs by Richard Mills, master folklorist Jo Kerrigan explores the origins of these mysterious circular structures: the stories and legends, the history and archaeology, the living traditions and practices connected to them. And reminds us of the dangers of disturbing the ancient spirits dwelling beneath.

    Over a vast period of time men have plotted for control over other men. Using religion, politics and secret societies they have manipulated history itself. 
     
    Thousands have built vast fortunes and special families become entrenched as the power brokers with authority placed into the hands of a few. 
     
    Their plan was written down in code, cipher and symbolism thousands of years ago. We will examine their special language in-order to uncover the truth. From the special names to the special numbers, a secret lies hidden and waiting. 
     
    We will reveal the significance of the number of the beast and see the truth behind their religious symbols such as the cross and tree and through these see the beast for what it truly is. We will know the one that shall follow. The one they call the anti-Christ, and we shall be amazed. Never in the history of mankind, until now, was it possible to deliver this beast upon the earth. 
     
    The New World Order is ready and it's new messiah about to be revealed.

    Alfred Hitchcock’s work is legendary, and although he himself was known as a rather quiet and subdued figure in public, those who knew him privately saw a fiery disposition and unbridled passion lurking just beneath the surface of his placid exterior. Films such as Rebecca, Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds sky-rocketed him to fame and have since led many to hail him as the greatest director of all time.
     
    Throughout his career, Hitchcock was always sure to deliver thrilling suspense and twist endings while delving into subject matters few were willing to explore. At the same time, his own personality and dark humor became a staple in popular culture through his film trailers, interviews, and the popular TV show Alfred Hitchcock Presents. This book explores both the films and the life of the “Master of Suspense”—Alfred Hitchcock.
