Ancient Beliefs

Sinopse

Ancient Beliefs explores how early civilizations grappled with life's mysteries, shaping the foundations of human culture through their religious practices. From the dawn of animism and shamanism in prehistoric societies to the complex pantheons of Mesopotamia and Egypt, the book traces the evolution of religious thought. Intriguingly, monumental architecture, like the pyramids, served not only as symbols of power but also as expressions of deeply held spiritual beliefs. Furthermore, early religious beliefs weren't just primitive superstitions; they were sophisticated systems that fostered social cohesion and provided meaning in the face of existential questions. The book's approach blends archaeology, anthropology, and religious studies to offer a multifaceted understanding of ancient beliefs. It delves into recovered cuneiform tablets, Egyptian hieroglyphic inscriptions, and early Greek and Roman literature. Organized into three parts, the book first introduces religion in the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras, then analyzes specific religious systems, and finally, explores the societal impact of these beliefs on political power, social hierarchies, and artistic expression. The book ultimately demonstrates how ancient beliefs continue to resonate in contemporary society.

Tales From Tipperary

Edward Forde Hickey

Full of amusement, this series of fictional tales starts with a Galwayman’s arrival in Tipperary’s post-famine days and portrays the daily lives of a hillside community.  
Written in the colloquial and lyrical language of some of our ancestors, it tells – amongst others – such diverse stories as the reliance of families on children rabbit-poaching, on the pre-dawn cattle-droving days of a young school-leaver, the re-appearance of a dead girl to her newly-born sister… along with a number of love-hate incidents, like the townie scorn for a mountainy man at the show-fair, before he walks off with the big trophy!
