Sinopse

Stonehenge Time explores the idea that ancient megalithic sites, like Stonehenge, were sophisticated astronomical observatories and calendar systems. It examines whether these monuments were intentionally designed to track celestial movements, offering insights into the intellectual capabilities of early societies. Discover the potential use of these sites for predicting seasons and the cultural significance of timekeeping in early societies.

 
The book journeys through archaeoastronomy, analyzing astronomical alignments corresponding to solar and lunar events. It investigates how timekeeping and astronomical knowledge influenced ancient beliefs and practices.

 
The approach is to guide the reader through the main concepts of archaeoastronomy by providing a detailed analysis of Stonehenge, a comparative study of other sites worldwide, and an exploration of the cultural context.

 
The text argues that megalithic structures represent deliberate attempts to codify the cosmos, integral to survival and cultural identity. This challenges the notion that complex astronomical knowledge is a product of advanced civilizations. 

 
With evidence including surveys, statistical analyses, and reinterpretations of archaeological data, the book progresses from introducing archaeoastronomy to analyzing Stonehenge, comparing global sites, and exploring cultural contexts.

Foreign Invaders of Ancient...

Editors Charles River

From approximately 3100 BCE until around 1075 BCE, ancient Egypt was ruled by 20 different dynasties. The length of the dynasties varied: some, such as those during the First and Second Intermediate periods could be quite short, while the Thirteenth and 18th Dynasties each contained more a one dozen kings and ruled over the Nile Valley for around 200 years each. Although the first 20 Egyptian dynasties varied in number of rulers and length, most shared one important attribute: they were all native Egyptian dynasties. The one important exception came during Egypt’s Second Intermediate Period, when a mysterious foreign group of people, known as the Hyksos, conquered Egypt and established the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Dynasties some time shortly after 1700 BCE. For centuries, the Hyksos rule over Egypt was an enigma shrouded in half-truths and myth. It was only in the mid-20th century that Egyptologists, using newly discovered and translated texts, shed fresh light on the Hyksos to reveal details about their origins and rule in Egypt. 
The transition from the Bronze to the Iron Age during the late 13th and early 12th centuries BCE arguably changed the structure and course of world history more fundamentally than any period before or since. During this period, numerous wealthy and enduring kingdoms of the eastern Mediterranean Sea region collapsed, and new ones rose in their places. At the center of this period of turmoil was a group of people known today as the Sea Peoples, the English translation of the name given to them by the Egyptians. Despite their prominent role in history, however, the Sea Peoples remain as mysterious as they were influential; while the Egyptians documented their presence and the wars against them, it has never been clear exactly where the Sea Peoples originated from, or what compelled them to invade various parts of the region with massive numbers.

Living Your Unlived Life -...

Robert A. Johnson, Jerry Ruhl

The esteemed Jungian psychologist counsels on how to cope with feelings of failure or regret in the latter half of life and how to open to a more meaningful existence, even if outer circumstances cannot be changed. 
 
 
 
In Living Your Unlived Life, the renowned therapist Robert A. Johnson, writing with longtime collaborator and fellow Jungian psychologist Jerry M. Ruhl, offers a simple but transformative premise: Our abandoned, unrealized, or underdeveloped talents, when they are not fully integrated into our lives, can become profoundly troublesome in midlife, leading us to depression, suddenly hating our spouses, our jobs, or even our lives. When our unlived lives are brought to consciousness, however, they can become the fuel that can propel us beyond our limitations, even if our outer circumstances cannot always be visibly altered.
