St Petersburg

Kelly Mass

St Petersburg's structures lay over the skeletons of the press-ganged servant workers who worked to build it, making it the label "the city built on bones." Historians approximate that 100,000 18th-century slaves are buried underneath the city's stunning Italianate estates and large Parisian-style streets.They passed away of cold, appetite, illness, or, if they were truly unfortunate, wolves. They were drawn from all around the Russian Empire at the time. They dedicated their lives for the magnificence of Imperial Russia, and the city they built, St Petersburg, stands as a testimony to the Russian state's single-mindedness.Its extravagant palaces radiate European elegance and were actively built in a Western way to bring Russia closer to Europe.Still, more than 3 centuries later, Russia has yet to finish this journey, and St Petersburg is a witness to the trouble of the journey.Let’s take a look at what else makes Saint Petersburg such a unique place.

Egyptian Mythology and Religion...

Omar Khalil

Egyptian mythology is a vast and intricate belief system that shaped the religious and cultural identity of ancient Egypt for thousands of years. Rooted in a deep connection with nature, the cosmos, and the divine, these myths provided explanations for the creation of the world, the role of gods, and the afterlife. Unlike other mythologies, Egyptian beliefs were not static; they evolved over time, adapting to political changes and regional influences while maintaining core spiritual principles.
The origins of Egyptian mythology can be traced back to the early dynastic period, though many of its concepts likely predate written history. Ancient Egyptians believed that the universe emerged from a primordial chaos, giving rise to powerful deities who shaped the world. Myths were recorded on temple walls, tombs, and papyrus scrolls, serving both religious and educational purposes. These stories were not merely symbolic; they were deeply woven into daily life, influencing laws, traditions, and the duties of rulers.
The geography of Egypt played a crucial role in shaping its mythology. The Nile River, essential for agriculture and survival, became a central symbol of life and renewal, often associated with gods like Osiris and Hapi. The vast deserts surrounding Egypt were seen as chaotic and dangerous, embodying forces of disorder such as the god Set. The sun’s daily journey across the sky was one of the most significant celestial events, leading to the worship of Ra, the sun god, as a dominant figure in Egyptian religious thought.

Bye Bye I Love You - The Story...

Michael Erard

With our earliest utterances, we announce ourselves—and are recognized—as persons ready for social life. With our final ones, we mark where others must release us to death's embrace. In Bye Bye I Love You, linguist and author Michael Erard explores these phenomena, commonly called "first words" and "last words," uncovering their cultural, historical, and biological entanglements and honoring their deep private significance. Erard draws from personal, historical, and anthropological sources to provide a sense of the breadth of beliefs and practices about these phenomena across eras, religions, and cultures around the world. 
 
 
 
What do babies' first words have in common? How do people really communicate at the end of life? In the first half of the book, Erard tells the story of first words in human development and evolution, and how the attention to children's early language—a modern phenomenon—arose. In the second half, he provides a groundbreaking overview of language at the end of life and the cultural conventions that surround it. Throughout he reveals the many parallels and asymmetries between first and last words and asks whether we might be able to use a linguistic understanding of end of life to discover what we truly want.
