The Hohokam civilization, flourishing in the deserts of what is now southern Arizona, represents one of the most fascinating examples of ancient ingenuity in the American Southwest. Known for their advanced irrigation techniques, complex social structures, and distinctive artistic expressions, the Hohokam thrived in a harsh environment for over a thousand years. Their story provides valuable insight into human adaptability and innovation in response to challenging surroundings. The origins of the Hohokam civilization are traced back to around 300 BCE, with their culture emerging as a distinct entity by approximately 600 CE. Archaeologists and researchers have found evidence of their presence in the Sonoran Desert, a region marked by intense heat and little rainfall. Despite these extreme conditions, the Hohokam were able to build thriving communities that relied heavily on farming, with maize, beans, and squash being staple crops. The Hohokam’s ability to create sustainable agricultural systems in the desert is considered one of their greatest achievements. Central to the Hohokam way of life was their mastery of water management. They constructed a vast network of irrigation canals, some of which stretched for miles, to channel water from rivers into their fields. This water was crucial not only for agriculture but also for their communities' survival. The Hohokam’s innovative canal systems transformed the desert landscape, allowing them to cultivate the land and support large populations. These systems remain a testament to their engineering skills and ability to harness the natural environment for their benefit.Zum Buch

Two celebrated Egyptologists bring to vivid life the intriguing and controversial reign of King Tut’s parents Akhenaten has been the subject of radically different, even contradictory, biographies. The king has achieved fame as the world’s first individual and the first monotheist, but others have seen him as an incestuous tyrant who nearly ruined the kingdom he ruled. The gold funerary mask of his son Tutankhamun and the painted bust of his wife Nefertiti are the most recognizable artifacts from all of ancient Egypt. But who are Akhenaten and Nefertiti? And what can we actually say about rulers who lived more than three thousand years ago? November 2022 marks the centennial of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun and although “King Tut” is a household name, his nine-year rule pales in comparison to the revolutionary reign of his parents. Akhenaten and Nefertiti became gods on earth by transforming Egyptian solar worship, innovating in art and urban design, and merging religion and politics in ways never attempted before. Combining fascinating scholarship, detective suspense, and adventurous thrills, Egypt’s Golden Couple is a journey through excavations, museums, hieroglyphic texts, and stunning artifacts. From clue to clue, renowned Egyptologists, John and Colleen Darnell, reconstruct an otherwise untold story of the magnificent reign of Akhenaten and Nefertiti.Zum Buch
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the timing appeared perfect to bring Sesame Street to millions of children living in the former Soviet Union. With the Muppets envisioned as ideal ambassadors of Western values, no one anticipated just how challenging and dangerous this would prove to be. In Muppets in Moscow: The Unexpected Crazy True Story of Making Sesame Street in Russia, Natasha Lance Rogoff brings this gripping tale to life. Amid bombings, assassinations, and a military takeover of the production office, Lance Rogoff and the talented Moscow team of artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, and puppeteers remained determined to bring laughter, learning, and a new way of seeing the world to children in Russia, Ukraine, and across the former Soviet empire. With a sharp wit and compassion for her colleagues, Lance Rogoff observes how cultural clashes colored nearly every aspect of the production—from the show’s educational framework to writing comedy to the new Russian Muppets themselves—despite the team’s common goal. Brimming with insight and nuance, Muppets in Moscow skillfully explores the post-Soviet societal tensions that continue to thwart the Russian people’s efforts to create a better future for their country. More than just a story of a children’s show, this book provides a valuable perspective of Russia’s people, their culture, and their complicated relationship with the West that remains relevant even today.Zum Buch
