  Bestselling author Erich von Däniken explores the evidence of ancient visitors treated as gods in religious scripture and mythology. His findings shake the foundations of both science and faith. Why do nearly all the world’s major religions share similar myths and legends? Whether it’s the Old Testament, ancient legends, or the creation myths of New Zealand’s natives, you come across similar stories everywhere. Erich von Däniken, author of the international bestseller Chariots of the Gods, believes he knows the answer—and it is as wondrous and awe-inspiring as it is controversial: The winged angels populating the Bible, the Koran, and other religious texts from cultures the world over were, in reality, extraterrestrials who visited the Earth in ages long past. Who were the gods of ancient lore? How can the contradictions in the Bible be explained? Why are the pagodas of Myanmar (formerly Burma) so amazingly similar to space-capable rockets? Erich von Däniken provides convincing new and surprising interpretations and answers that fundamentally contradict both the teachings of religion and current science. His astonishing conclusion: The gods were not metaphysical beings that humans created in their imagination, but extraterrestrial intelligences that have left their traces all over the Earth. He offers persuasive evidence that actual living beings inspired the legends that became the basis for many of our religious traditions.

  Decades ago, Malcolm X eloquently stated that communities have the legitimate right to defend themselves “by any means necessary” with any tool or tactic, including guns. This wide-ranging anthology uncovers the hidden histories and ideas of community armed self-defense, exploring how it has been used by marginalized and oppressed communities as well as anarchists and radicals within significant social movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. 
  Far from a call to arms, or a “how-to” manual for warfare, this volume offers histories, reflections, and questions about the role of firearms in small collective defense efforts and its place in larger efforts toward the creation of autonomy and liberation. 
  Featuring diverse perspectives from movements across the globe, Setting Sights includes vivid histories and personal reflections from both researchers and those who participated in community armed self-defense. Contributors include Dennis Banks, Kathleen Cleaver, Mable Williams, Subcomandante Marcos, Kristian Williams, George Ciccariello-Maher, Ashanti Alston, and many more.

  This book traces the dramatic stories of five of the most influential empires in medieval and late antiquity, exploring how they rose to greatness, maintained control, and ultimately declined or transformed. 
  Begin with The Fall of Rome, the collapse that set the stage for the medieval world. Learn how internal strife, economic decay, and barbarian invasions led to the downfall of one of history’s greatest civilizations, creating a power vacuum that reshaped Europe. 
  Discover The Byzantine Empire, the eastern continuation of Rome, which blended Roman governance, Orthodox Christianity, and Greek culture to become a resilient power for over a thousand years. From Justinian’s legal reforms to the fall of Constantinople, its story is one of cultural brilliance and gradual decline. 
  Explore the fragmented yet enduring structure of The Holy Roman Empire, a complex patchwork of territories that struggled to balance local autonomy with imperial ambition. This section reveals the ongoing conflicts between emperors and popes, as well as the empire's role in shaping central Europe. 
  Witness the unstoppable rise of The Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in world history. Led by Genghis Khan and his successors, it connected East and West through conquest, terror, and unexpected cultural exchange. 
  Finally, delve into The Rise of the Ottoman Empire, a story of transformation from a frontier beylik into a formidable Islamic empire that would eventually absorb Byzantine lands and challenge Europe for centuries. 
  Together, these five empires showcase the complexity, ambition, and fragility of medieval powers—and how their legacies continue to influence the world today.

  Lost Civilizations of...

  The phenomenon of the Olmec Heads and their Mysterious origins is observed in the Coast of the Gulf of Mexico, in the early pre-classic period, with the development of the Olmec culture. The first representations of political power are witnessed there, expressed through monumental sculpture and large-scale architecture. The dominant figure of the rulers appears and alludes to forms of government exercised by individuals who can convene to populations through ideological management and other coercion mechanisms. 
  The socio-political complexity thus emerged encouraged the development of similar forms in other areas of Mesoamerica, which would later lead to the appearance of the first stratified societies made up of actual states, such as the cases of Teotihuacan in the Mexican highlands, Monte Albán in Oaxaca and the city-states of the Maya area during the classical period. The corollary of this process was made up by some societies of the post-classic period that reached supra-state levels, as happened with the Mexica who settled in the Mexican highlands and came to establish a true pan-Mesoamerica empire.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Many doctors in Germany were convinced that they were the chosen people to create a healthy, racially pure Volkskörper (body of people) and by doing so, establish a racial utopia. As strong supporters of National Socialism, they welcomed the founding of the Third Reich. After Hitler acceded to power, German physicians joined the SS in particular. During the twelve years of the Nazi era, seven percent of German doctors became members of the SS. The average membership of the population was only 0.6 percent. Moreover, doctors were also overrepresented as a profession, with teachers consisting of less than half a percent and musicians only three percent. Only lawyers had a larger share in the SS than doctors. 
  The average income of German doctors increased extremely after 1933, even exceeding the income of lawyers. The Nazi doctors of the human experiments also joined the SS in large numbers. German doctors were far more reluctant to join the NSDAP than the SS. Before 1933, only seven percent of all German doctors joined the NSDAP (Nazi party). They joined the party when it seemed opportune to do so, in 1933, and particularly in 1937. In 1933, physicians made up almost a quarter of all academic professionals in the NSDAP. Most doctors joined the NSDAP in 1937, with a membership rate of 43 percent of the total profession. German physicians sat on the fence during the first years of the Nazi era, insecure about the effects of the new regime on their profession. By 1937, the Third Reich had won the trust of several reasons. The NSDAP had solved the economic crisis and had reorganized the medical profession. Moreover, the regime had solved “the Jewish question” in the medical sector.
