  Arnold J. Toynbee, the most famous professional historian of the twentieth century, is widely quoted as having declared that “History is just one damn thing after another.” This book argues that history is not about “things” at all but is all about turning points—the decisions, acts, innovations, errors, ideas, successes, and failures on which the shape of a nation’s life—our lives—depends. It presents the one hundred points at which America’s path decisively turned on its way to where we find ourselves today. 
  Columbus arrives in the New World 
  The first slaves arrive in America 
  Independence is declared 
  Female suffragists meet in Seneca Falls 
  Fort Sumter falls 
  A transcontinental railroad is completed 
  Edison lights his first electric lamp 
  FDR offers a “New Deal” 
  The B-29 Enola Gay drops an atomic bomb on Hiroshima 
  Neil Armstrong sets foot on the moon 
  President Nixon creates the EPA 
  9/11, Obama, Sandy Hook, Russian election “meddling,” and the Age of Trump 
  These and many more are the crucial “plot points” in our grand national story, and bestselling historian Alan Axelrod presents them here.

  ROMAN MYTHOLOGY 
  Why did the Roman Empire fall? 
  The theories are numerous, including the rise of Islam, lead in the drinking water, inflation with other economic problems, and even allowing vandals and barbarians to have positions of power.

  Egyptian Book of the Dead and...

  There is no death in the Osirian religion, only decay and change, and periodic renewal; only evolution and transformation in the domain of matter and the transubstantiation into spirit. In the so-called death of Osiris it is rebirth, not death, exactly the same as in the changes of external nature. At the close of the day the solar orb went down and left the sun god staring blankly in the dark of death. Taht the moon god met him in Amenta with the eye of Horus as the light the was to illuminate the darkness of the subterranean world. –from “Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Mysteries of Amenta” 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 4 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey discusses the Egyptian Book of the Dead as the “pre-Christian word of God,” and explores the idea that Amenta, the threshold to the Egyptian underworld, is the first overt expression of a human desire for a noncorporeal afterlife. Massey goes on to connect the “mystery of the mummy” to “the mystery of the Christ” by likening the Christian dogma of physical resurrection to the Egyptian impetus for mummification. 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.
