Sinopse

"Pyramid Death Traps" unveils the sophisticated security systems within ancient Egyptian pyramids, designed to protect pharaohs' remains and treasures. These weren't just simple barriers; they were elaborate combinations of deceptive architecture, like hidden passages and false doors meant to disorient intruders, and intricate mechanical traps, such as falling stones triggered by unsuspecting footsteps. 

 
The book explores how religious beliefs about the afterlife fueled the creation of these defenses, reflecting the high status of pharaohs who required unparalleled protection even in death. The book examines the evolution of tomb security from simple chambers to complex labyrinths, categorizing death traps by their mechanisms and psychological deterrents. 

 
It details the operation of devices like spring-loaded mechanisms and explores how curses and intimidating imagery were used to discourage tomb robberies. Ultimately, "Pyramid Death Traps" analyzes the effectiveness of these measures, drawing on historical accounts and archaeological evidence to understand how and why some tomb breaches succeeded while others failed, giving insight into ancient Egyptian culture and engineering.

    Many people who've experienced trauma tend to blame themselves. This tendency to self-blame often begins in childhood and is carried into adulthood and can manifest in a number of emotional and behavioral problems. You've probably tried to quiet your critical inner voice through avoidance and distraction, only to have the negative self-talk return time and time again to sabotage your self-esteem and interfere with your life. Fortunately, you possess the power to forgive yourself and discover your inner strength. 
     
     
     
    With this workbook, you'll learn proven-effective skills that integrate self-forgiveness with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), compassion-focused therapy (CFT), functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP), and relational frame theory (RFT). You'll develop the self-compassion and self-acceptance needed to overcome the sense of shame and guilt that's keeping you from a meaningful life. You'll also gain a new perspective on your life's story, empowering you to get in touch with your values and make an ongoing commitment to self-forgiveness. 
     
     
     
    Forgiving yourself does not mean the pain of the past will go away forever, but it can reduce the burden you've placed on yourself. If you're ready to replace self-blame with self-empowerment and self-reliance, this book will be your guide on a journey toward healing and joy.

    "Sierra Snowpaw is just at the Lonnegan Ski Resort looking for a good time. You can trust him. If he doesn't talk a lot about his past, well, a lot of guys have done things they'd rather forget. A lot of guys have been through things they'd rather forget, too. He's so nice that it isn’t that weird when he asks about some of the other guests. Not like a cop, though, or a Fed--well, okay. Maybe a little like that one guy from that movie. Maybe he's off-duty, settling a score on his own time. Or maybe he's the guy on the run.
