Buried beneath the sands of Ancient Egypt lies a secret history far darker than the pyramids, pharaohs, and golden treasures we think we know… For centuries, whispers of a forbidden ritual have haunted archaeologists and historians, a chilling practice woven into the rise and fall of Egypt’s most powerful rulers. In The Pharaoh’s Kill List: Inside the Ancient Egyptian Tradition of Human Sacrifice, bestselling researcher Davis Truman pulls back the curtain on a world where divine kingship demanded blood, loyalty was enforced through death, and every royal tomb carried secrets meant to stay hidden forever. Through newly analyzed evidence, forgotten stelae, and translations of long-overlooked texts, this book dives deep into: · The origins of human sacrifice in early dynastic Egypt—and why it suddenly disappeared · Shocking archaeological finds that reveal entire retinues killed to serve their king beyond death · The Pharaohs who expanded, concealed, or weaponized sacrificial rituals · How religion, fear, and absolute power shaped one of the most secretive traditions in the ancient world Perfect for fans of ancient history, true crime, Egyptology, anthropology, and dark historical mysteries, this book delivers a gripping blend of scholarship and narrative storytelling. Every chapter pulls you deeper into the ritual logic of a civilization where gods walked among men—and where appeasing them required unthinkable acts. If you believe you already know Ancient Egypt…Prepare to be proven wrong. Enter the tomb. Face the truth. Discover what—and who—the Pharaohs were willing to sacrifice.Ver libro
Making Mary Poppins reveals the extraordinary true story behind the creation of one of the most beloved films of all time―and the two little-known songwriters who helped make it possible. Long before Mary Poppins danced across the rooftops and into the hearts of millions, Robert and Richard Sherman were struggling songwriters in Los Angeles, trying to find their voices―and their futures. In this vivid and deeply researched narrative, author and Disney historian Todd James Pierce traces the unlikely path that brought the Sherman brothers to Walt Disney's attention, and how their personal history, musical genius, and emotional lives shaped the film's unforgettable songs and surprising storyline. From their early days writing novelty tunes to the high-stakes drama of working with P. L. Travers and Walt Disney himself, the Sherman brothers' story is rich with behind-the-scenes intrigue, creative breakthroughs, and quiet triumphs. Their work on Mary Poppins not only launched their careers―it transformed Disney's live-action division and influenced an entire era of musical filmmaking. Filled with never-before-published details, Making Mary Poppins is a story of art, ambition, and resilience.Ver libro
An outbreak of plague in London forces a gentleman, Lovewit, to flee temporarily to the country, leaving his house under the sole charge of his butler, Jeremy. Jeremy uses the opportunity given to him to use the house as the headquarters for fraudulent acts. He transforms himself into 'Captain Face', and enlists the aid of Subtle, a fellow conman and Dol Common, a prostitute. In The Alchemist, Jonson unashamedly satirizes the follies, vanities and vices of mankind, most notably greed-induced credulity. People of all social classes are subject to Jonson's ruthless, satirical wit. He mocks human weakness and gullibility to advertising and to "miracle cures" with the character of Sir Epicure Mammon, who dreams of drinking the elixir of youth and enjoying fantastic sexual conquests. The Alchemist focuses on what happens when one human being seeks advantage over another. In a big city like London, this process of advantage-seeking is rife. The trio of con-artists - Subtle, Face and Dol - are self-deluding small-timers, ultimately undone by the same human weaknesses they exploit in their victims.Ver libro
