Synopsis

In "History of the Phoenician Civilization," George Rawlinson meticulously unravels the intricate tapestry of Phoenician society, exploring its significant contributions to trade, culture, and the evolution of written language in the ancient Mediterranean world. Employing a narrative style that beautifully marries scholarly rigor with accessible prose, Rawlinson situates the Phoenicians within the broader context of ancient history, deftly analyzing their interactions with neighboring civilizations such as the Egyptians and Greeks. The work is distinguished by its comprehensive use of archaeological evidence alongside classical texts, thereby enriching our understanding of a culture often overshadowed by its more dominant contemporaries. George Rawlinson, a prominent historian and philologist of the 19th century, was deeply influenced by his extensive study of ancient Near Eastern scripts and historical contexts. His familiarity with classical authors and dedication to accuracy promote a nuanced portrayal of the Phoenicians, shedding light on their complexities as seafarers, traders, and innovators. Rawlinson's passion for history is evident in his painstaking research, which aims not only to document the Phoenicians but to foster an appreciation for their enduring legacy. Readers interested in ancient civilizations and the foundations of Western culture will find Rawlinson's work an invaluable resource. With its balanced blend of historical detail and engaging narrative, "History of the Phoenician Civilization" invites scholars and casual readers alike to explore the richness of a civilization that laid the groundwork for contemporary trade and commerce. This book stands as a testament to the Phoenicians' pivotal role in shaping the ancient world, making it a crucial addition to any serious historical library.

    The human race has accepted the word God unquestionably from time immemorial. Which has resulted in an avalanche of diverse faiths warring with each other. To circumvent this and present the true nature of God the thesis provides adequate literature. God is the supreme Self, a Sakshi, a detached Witness of activities of the body, mind and intellect. A role in beings which fits in with that of petrol in vehicles. Petrol is a sakshi which activates vehicles while witnessing the best or worst of their performances.

    Embark on an epic voyage through the tumultuous era of Norse exploration and conquest. From their legendary expeditions to distant lands to their fierce battles and enigmatic culture, Theodore Zepher's rich narration brings to life the indomitable spirit of these seafaring warriors in this series Box Set. 
    Contains: 
    Book 1 : Vikings 
    Book 2 : Longships on Restless Seas 
    Few are those that have not heard of the fearsome Vikings and their daring exploits. These Northern seafarers, the scourge of the Middle Ages, left their mark on the world’s history in a grand fashion. Courageous, defiant, and driven by the desire for exploration, the Norsemen were the most feared of all Medieval conquerors. Many thought them invincible, and they held many struggling Christian nations in their sway. From Scotland, England, France, and Ireland, down to the shores of Spain and the Baltic, the Vikings left their undeniable mark. Brutal conquest was not the only tool of their trade: these men were able seafarers and great explorers. Vikings discovered and established colonies in the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, and North America. Many agree that they were the first to set foot in the land we know today as Canada. All in all, the Vikings hold a vital role in the history of the world. Who knows how our world would look today if it weren’t for these grand Norsemen?
