Sinopse

'Be part of history, walk a frontier lost for over fifteen hundred years.'
The Western Hadrianic Frontier of the Roman Empire is little known by the general public. Until recently the frontier was viewed as merely a series of forts with a fluid means of defence and administration between them, and the public was understandably drawn to the physical remains of Hadrian's Wall crossing from Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend.
Archaeologists have always known different, and it is only now that they are beginning to shout from the rooftops that the Western Frontier is as important as the stones that cross the Pennines. Fortunately, through the efforts of a small band of archaeologists and Historic England, the public perception is changing. There is a wealth of magnificent and diverse scenery and amazing archaeology which rivals the better-known sites along the Hadrian's Wall.
Walking the frontier offers opportunities for personal adventure and discovery. There is plenty of variety in the west; catch a train or bus, buy local produce, enjoy a beer and a good bed, but most of all enjoy the quest. This fully updated and illustrated guide offers the walker an insight into this relatively unknown world – one that still has much to reveal.

    The Temples of Egypt - Sacred...

    Temples in ancient Egypt were far more than mere places of worship. They stood at the very heart of Egyptian civilization, functioning as both spiritual centers and instruments of political and social order. Each temple was seen as a dwelling place for a god or goddess, and the rituals performed within their walls were believed to maintain the cosmic balance known as ma’at. The presence of a temple in a city or region signaled divine favor and legitimacy, reinforcing the bond between the gods and the ruling pharaoh. 
    Pharaohs were considered divine intermediaries between the gods and the people, and their authority was deeply rooted in religious belief. Temples were a direct reflection of this divine connection. Often constructed by pharaohs to honor specific deities, temples helped assert royal power and ensure harmony across the land. Through grand architecture and lavish offerings, rulers demonstrated their piety and reaffirmed their right to govern. This link between kingship and temple worship made temples central to the ideological framework of the state. 
    Beyond their religious significance, temples also played a pivotal role in the social life of ancient Egyptians. They were the sites of numerous festivals and ceremonial events that brought entire communities together. These occasions were marked by processions, music, dancing, and the display of sacred statues, all of which reinforced communal identity and devotion. The most prominent of these was the Opet Festival in Thebes, during which statues of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu were transported from Karnak to Luxor Temple in a public procession along the Nile. Such festivals reminded people of the gods’ presence and the pharaoh’s divine role in upholding order.
