Sinopse

In 'The Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World: Media,' George Rawlinson offers a meticulous exploration of the ancient kingdom of Media, one of the pivotal powers in the early history of the Eastern world. Through a blend of detailed historical accounts and engaging narrative, Rawlinson examines the political, cultural, and social dimensions of Media, contextualizing its significance within the broader tapestry of ancient empires. His scholarly approach, infused with rich descriptions and critical analyses, reflects the Victorian fascination with uncovering the vestiges of past civilizations while integrating classical sources with modern archaeological findings. George Rawlinson, a noted historian and Assyriologist, was deeply involved in the study of ancient civilizations, which profoundly influenced his writing. His academic background, including his work on cuneiform inscriptions and contributions to the deciphering of ancient texts, equipped him with the tools to delve into the complexities of the Medes and their interactions with neighboring empires. Rawlinson's scholarship not only aimed to illuminate the past but also to instill a sense of appreciation for the interconnectedness of ancient cultures. With its scholarly rigor and narrative depth, 'The Seven Great Monarchies' is an essential read for historians, students, and enthusiasts of ancient history. Rawlinson'Äôs incisive insights will not only provoke thought but also enrich one's understanding of the pivotal role Media played in shaping historical trajectories. This book is a must-have for anyone looking to grasp the intricacies of one of history'Äôs great monarchies.

    Beauty is a feeling. 
    Had we not looked at the rose would it have been beautiful? 
    Had the name of rose not been rose but instead it would have been something else then would we have loved it? 
    Nothing matters with the name. 
    If we look at the rose and say it's beautiful then it becomes beautiful. 
    Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. 
    Whatever creates happiness in our mind that is beautiful. 
    All the feelings are being controlled by hormones. So, the feeling of beauty, form, flavour, fragrance, touch, music every feeling is the creation of hormones. In one word we can say everything is illusion.

    While the bow was used throughout ancient times and the Middle Ages, on mainland Europe it was mostly replaced by the crossbow in the early 13th century, but that would change with the introduction of the longbow, a more powerful weapon than the traditional hunting bows. The original longbowmen were Welshmen recruited by King Edward I of England after he conquered Wales, and the weapon got its name from the fact that it was almost as tall as the man using it. This gave it a longer draw and therefore more force, as longbows were generally made of yew, a strong and pliable wood. The longbow was cheap and easy to make, but they required extensive training to be used well, so in England, commoners were encouraged and at times required to practice archery. A statute of Richard II dating from 1388 reads, “Servants and Laborers shall have Bows and Arrows, and use the same the Sundays and Holydays, and leave all playing at tennis or foot-ball, and other games called coits, dice, casting of the stone, kaikles [skittles], and other such importune games.” 
    	The longbow’s greatest day was at Agincourt in 1415, but the fact that this did not end the age of heavy plate cavalry indicated the longbow did have some limitations. For example, modern tests show that longbow arrows had trouble piercing plate armor, likely the main reason they were used as a massed weapon. With arrows raining down, it increased the chances of hitting a joint in the armor or an imperfection. Also, horse armor couldn’t protect the entire animal and the knights would soon find themselves dismounted. At some battles like Agincourt, the knights foundered in soft earth, and as their horses fell and the men became confused and hampered by the arrows clanking off their armor, they got mired in the mud and the English infantry could move in and finish them off.

    A Promise Kept - The Muscogee...

    "At the end of the Trail of Tears there was a promise," United States Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the decision issued in the case of McGirt v. Oklahoma. And that promise, made in treaties between the United States and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation more than 150 years earlier, would finally be kept. With the Court's ruling, the full extent of the Muscogee (Creek) Reservation was reaffirmed—meaning that 3.25 million acres of land in Oklahoma were recognized as "Indian Country." A Promise Kept explores the circumstances and implications of McGirt v. Oklahoma, likely the most significant Indian law case in well over a hundred years. Combining legal analysis and historical context, this book gives an in-depth, accessible account of how the case unfolded and what it might mean for Oklahomans, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and other tribes throughout the United States. 
     
     
     
    Robbie Ethridge traces the history of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation from its inception to its resurgence in Oklahoma in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Robert J. Miller considers McGirt v. Oklahoma, examining important related cases, precedents that informed the Court's decision, and future ramifications. Their work clarifies the stakes of a decision that, while long overdue, raises numerous complex issues profoundly affecting federal, state, and tribal relations and law.
