Beschreibung

"Messages In Stone" explores how ancient cultures used inscriptions, tombstones, and petroglyphs to communicate vital information about their belief systems, historical events, and daily lives. These seemingly static objects offer a unique window into the minds of our ancestors, reshaping our understanding of world history. The decipherment of ancient scripts, like hieroglyphs, allows us to unlock secrets of the past, while the symbolic language of funerary art provides insights into social hierarchies and beliefs about the afterlife. The book examines the narrative power of rock art, uncovering ancient methods of storytelling. 

 
"Messages In Stone" progresses by establishing a historical and archaeological context, then delving into specific case studies, such as the Rosetta Stone and Native American petroglyph sites. By analyzing these diverse sources, the book offers a comparative framework for understanding the broader significance of these messages and emphasizing their ongoing relevance in contemporary society for cultural heritage.

    Spend twenty-four hours with the ancient Chinese. 
     
     
     
    Travel back to AD 17, during the fourth year of the reign of Wang Mang of the Han dynasty, a vibrant and innovative era full of conflicts and contradictions. But as different as the Han culture might have been to other great ancient civilizations, the inhabitants of ancient China faced the same problems as people have for time immemorial: earning enough money, coping with workplace dramas, and keeping your home in order—although the equivalent in this era was more about bribing inspectors, avoiding bullying from abusive watchmen, and trying to keep your house from being looted by Huns. 
     
     
     
    In each chapter we meet one of twenty-four citizens of this ancient culture, from the midwife to the soldier, the priest to the performer, and the blacksmith to the tomb looter, and see what an average day in ancient China was really like.

    A look at the major events of the twentieth century through the eyes of the man who witnessed it all: celebrated BBC foreign correspondent Charles Wheeler. This audiobook is narrated by his daughter, Shirin Wheeler, and features original audio from Charles' broadcasting days. Charles Wheeler, the BBC's longest-serving foreign correspondent, was one of Britain's greatest news reporters. For more than four decades, he reported for radio and television from most of the world's trouble spots. Present at many of the key episodes of the twentieth century, he had - as a BBC manager noted after the shooting of George Wallace, Presidential candidate and Governor of Alabama, on 15 May 1972, 'a knack of being in the right place at the right time'.  It was typical of Charles that he ran towards the sound of the gunshot while the crowd was running in the opposite direction.Wheeler's investigative skill and sense of judgement made him one of the most authoritative reporters of his generation. But what was it like to have been witness to the events that shaped our modern world? In this book - part memoir, part history, part reflection - his daughter, Shirin Wheeler, examines her father's journalistic legacy and brings her personal knowledge to bear on the project. She will tell the story of her father: a patient listener and forensic interrogator who was driven by curiosity and passion to report and expose injustice, and above all to give a voice to people ignored or unheard by many.
