Synopsis

In "Farthest North (The Complete Two-Volume Edition)," Fridtjof Nansen invites readers on a breathtaking expedition through the uncharted Arctic wilderness. The work is not merely a travel narrative; it is a profound meditation on the human spirit's resilience amidst the relentless forces of nature. Nansen's vivid descriptions and meticulous observations bring the icy landscape to life, while his literary style oscillates between scientific rigor and poetic introspection, reflecting the duality of exploration both as a physical journey and an existential quest. This detailed account of his 1893-1896 voyage aboard the Fram contributes significantly to Arctic exploration literature and offers insights into the early 20th-century scientific endeavors amidst a backdrop of political and environmental concerns. Fridtjof Nansen was a Norwegian explorer, scientist, and humanitarian whose diverse experiences profoundly influenced this masterpiece. With a background in zoology and deep-seated explorative instincts, his desire to push human limits led him to traverse regions previously deemed inhospitable. His achievements laid the groundwork for subsequent Arctic research, fueling interest in the poles and efforts towards advancing our understanding of the natural world. "Farthest North" is an essential read for anyone fascinated by adventure, exploration, or the intricate relationship between humanity and the environment. Nansen's articulate prose and rich narrative compel readers to reflect on the determination required to venture into the unknown, making this a timeless classic that resonates with adventurers and scholars alike.

  • Ancient Indus Valley Civilization’s Biggest Cities The: The History and Legacy of Mohenjo-daro Harappa and Kalibangan - cover

    When one thinks of the world’s first cities, Sumer, Memphis, and Babylon are some of the first to come to mind, but if the focus then shifts to India, then Harappa and Mohenjo-daro will likely come up. These cities owe their existence to India’s oldest civilization, known as the Indus Valley Civilization or the Harappan Civilization, which was contemporary with ancient Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt and had extensive contacts with the former, making it one of the most important early civilizations in the world. Spread out along the rivers of the Indus River Valley, hundreds of settlements began forming around 3300 BCE, eventually coalescing into a society that had all of the hallmarks of a true civilization, including writing, well-developed cities, a complex social structure, and long-distance trade. 
    Mohenjo-daro was the largest city of the Indus Valley Civilization, one of the most advanced civilizations to have ever existed, and the best-known and most ancient prehistoric urban site on the Indian subcontinent. It was a metropolis of great cultural, economic, and political importance that dates from the beginning of the 3rd millennium BCE. Although it primarily flourished between approximately 2500 and 1500 BCE, the city had longer lasting influences on the urbanization of the Indian subcontinent for centuries after its abandonment. It is believed to have been one of two capital cities of the Indus Civilization, its twin being Harappa located further north in Punjab, Pakistan. 
    Kalibangan was unknown to the modern world until archaeologists began uncovering its secrets in excavations during the 1960s. Although it followed some of the patterns of larger Indus cities such as Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, it was also a unique city in many ways. Kalibangan was located on a different river from the other major Indus Valley Civilization cities, and its river suffered a fate that led to the end of the city.

    Mankind has come a long way since he learned how to control fire. And yet now in the 21st century he has created more than fire, he has created chains to bind himself into a system whereby he passes on the control of his own life to others. 
     
    Businesses, religions, royalty’s and governments have all sought to gain power by having control over our mental and physical states. They have utilized our own nature to achieve this. And these powers joined forces into a secret cabal we call the Illuminati. They have created a true Matrix of deceit and we are all being manipulated. 
     
    From the market place to the school, all-manner of magical devices have been dreamed up to entice and entrap us. We have closed our eyes and minds to the truth of the system we are now part of. And because of this we are now totally unaware of the deceit in which we reside. In fact we even perpetuate it by repeating the propaganda of those in power. Almost everything we think and do is the result of illusion created by those in power. 
     
    It is time to unlock these secrets and find freedom.
