Taíno Civilization - The...

Rolf Hedger

The origins of the Taíno people trace back thousands of years to the migrations of Arawakan-speaking groups from South America. Anthropologists and archaeologists believe that the ancestors of the Taíno first emerged in the Orinoco River basin, in what is now Venezuela, before gradually expanding into the Caribbean. These early settlers, known as the Saladoid culture, navigated the waterways of the Caribbean in dugout canoes, moving from the mainland to the Lesser Antilles and eventually reaching the Greater Antilles, where they established permanent settlements.
As they adapted to their new island environments, these early migrants developed a distinct culture that would later be recognized as the Taíno civilization. Over generations, they refined agricultural techniques suited to the tropical climate, cultivating staple crops like cassava, maize, and sweet potatoes. Their knowledge of fishing, hunting, and foraging allowed them to thrive in the diverse ecosystems of the Caribbean, from coastal regions to inland forests.
By the time Europeans arrived in the late 15th century, the Taíno were the dominant indigenous group across the islands of Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, eastern Cuba, and the Bahamas. Their society had evolved into a structured and hierarchical system led by caciques, or chiefs, who governed villages known as yucayeques. These settlements varied in size, with some growing into major centers of trade, religion, and politics. The Taíno also developed a rich spiritual belief system centered around ancestor worship and nature deities, a tradition that can be traced back to their South American roots.

Ramesses the Great - Egypt's...

Toby Wilkinson

The life, dramatic reign, and enduring legacy of the pharaoh Ramesses the Great, with lessons for the present, from internationally acclaimed Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson 
 
Ramesses II ruled the Nile Valley and the wider Egyptian empire from 1279 to 1213 B.C., one of the longest reigns in pharaonic history. He was a cultural innovator, a relentless self-promoter, and an astute diplomat—the peace treaty signed after the Battle of Kadesh was the first in recorded history. He outbuilt every other Egyptian pharaoh, leaving behind the temples of Abu Simbel; the great hypostyle hall of Karnak; the tomb for his wife Nefertari; and his own memorial, the Ramesseum. 
 
His reputation eclipsed that of all other pharaohs as well: he was decried in the Bible as a despot, famed in literature as Ozymandias, and lauded by early antiquarians as the Younger Memnon. His rule coincided with the peak of ancient Egypt’s power and prosperity, the New Kingdom (1539–1069 B.C.). 
 
In this authoritative biography, Toby Wilkinson considers Ramesses’ preoccupations and preferences, uncovering the methods and motivations of a megalomaniac ruler, with lessons for our own time.
