Sinopsis

War and Museums explores the profound and multifaceted relationship between armed conflicts and cultural institutions. It examines how museums, as guardians of cultural heritage and symbols of national identity, are affected by wartime destruction, the looting of artifacts, and ethical dilemmas surrounding cultural property protection. The book highlights that museums can transform from passive repositories into active participants in preserving and even manipulating collective memory.

The book delves into the deliberate destruction and collateral damage inflicted on museums during conflicts, noting instances where they become strategic targets. It also investigates the systematic looting of artifacts and the challenges of repatriation, emphasizing the vulnerability of cultural treasures.

Through case studies ranging from World War II to contemporary conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, War and Museums methodically examines the impact of war, covering historical context, ethical frameworks, and long-term consequences. The book's analysis progresses by first introducing the historical role of museums, then exploring specific conflicts through case studies. Following this, ethical and legal frameworks are discussed, leading to a final consideration of long-term consequences like rebuilding and repatriating looted artifacts. It offers a comprehensive view of the challenges museums face in a world marked by instability, making it valuable for museum professionals, historians, and policymakers alike.

The Egyptian Wisdom in Other...

Gerald Massey

When the word Sheol in the Old Testament is rendered in English by “the grave,” it is inadequate times out of number. The Hebrew writers were not always speaking or thinking of the grave when they wrote of Sheol, which has to be bottomed in Amenta, the divine nether-earth, not simply in the tomb. The grave is not identical with hell, nor the pit-hole with the bottomless pit. The pangs and sorrows of Sheol, like the purging pangs of the Romish purgatory, have to be studied in the Egyptian Ritual. –from “Egyptian Wisdom in other Jewish Writings” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 8 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey connects the stories of the Egyptians with the tales and lessons of the Hebrew prophets, likening David to Osiris and the “King of Glory” and “Lord of Hosts”–that is, Yahweh–to the sun-god of astronomical mythology. With similar symbology of flocks and shepherds, light and darkness, and immortality in an afterlife, it is impossible, Massey argues, not to see deep connections to and influences of Egyptian wisdom in that of the Hebrews. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.
