    This book contains 2 topics, which are: 
    1 - Sumerians: The Sumerians were the people from Sumer, the first recognized society in the historic area of southern Mesopotamia (now southern Iraq), developed throughout the 6th and 5th centuries BC throughout the Chalcolithic and early Bronze Ages. In addition to age-old Egypt, the Caral-Supe culture, the Indus Valley civilization, the Minoan civilization, and age-old China, it is also one of the world's early civilizations. Sumerian farmers who lived along the Tigris and Euphrates valleys grew a great deal of grain and other items, which allowed them to establish metropolitan towns. Before 3000 BC, there was proto-writing. The earliest files date from between 3500 and 3000 BC and are from the cities of Uruk and Jemdet Nasr. 
    2 - Hittites: The Hittites were mentioned in the Bible. They were an Anatolian people that contributed to creating a kingdom in Kussara before 1750 BC, the Kanesh or Nesha kingdom between 1750 and 1650 BC, and finally an empire based upon Hattusa in north-central Anatolia around 1650 BC. Under uppiluliuma I, the empire reached its peak in the mid-14th century BC, when it ruled over much of Anatolia and areas of the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia. 
    Between the 15th and 13th centuries BC, the Hattusa Empire, also called the Hittite Empire, defended control of the Near East with the New Kingdom of Egypt, the Middle Assyrian Empire, and the Mitanni Empire. The Middle Assyrian Empire ultimately emerged as the dominant power, took much of the Hittite Empire, and ransacked the rest by Phrygian newbies to the area. The Hittites separated into numerous self-governing Syro-Hittite countries around c. 1180 BC, at the time of the Late Bronze Age collapse, some of which stayed till the 8th century BC before giving up to the Neo-Assyrian Empire.

    August 25, 1943. A lone bicyclist transports a cache of explosives, hidden in a beer crate, to a Copenhagen hall being readied to house German troops. In a violent blast, the would-be barracks is reduced to rubble. It's the boldest act yet of Holger Danske and the growing Danish resistance combating the oppressiveness of Hitler's Reich. 
     
     
     
    In 1940, on its way to conquering Western Europe, Germany coerced the Danish government into a "cooperative" agreement that lasted three long years until the increasing brazenness of the Resistance movement prompted a crackdown. Denmark's nearly 8000 Jews, who had so far been spared Hitler's wrath, now became the focus of his rage. A roundup was ordered to begin on October 1st, 1943, the first day of the Jewish New Year. 
     
     
     
    The only passage to safety was across the Oresund to Sweden. But no group existed to organize an escape. Until the last moment, Sweden didn’t agree to allow the refugees into the country; and the strait between the two nations was swarming with Gestapo. What happened next was a miracle. 95% of Denmark's Jews survived the Holocaust, the highest percentage in Europe. Here are the riveting true accounts of ordinary Danes who, using their modest resources, wiles, remarkable courage, and camaraderie, quietly orchestrated their escape.

    Greek mythology is filled with powerful deities, but the goddesses of Olympus stand out as figures of immense influence, embodying wisdom, love, war, motherhood, and the natural world. Unlike many other ancient pantheons, the Greek goddesses were not merely passive consorts to male gods; they held dominion over vast aspects of life and fate, shaping the world alongside their male counterparts. Their myths reveal complex personalities, often showcasing both nurturing and vengeful qualities, making them among the most dynamic figures in classical mythology.  
    The Olympian goddesses played a crucial role in the religious and cultural life of the ancient Greeks. Each goddess had her own temples, festivals, and priestesses, emphasizing her importance in daily worship and ritual practice. For example, Athena’s grand temple, the Parthenon, dominated Athens, reflecting her status as the city’s protector. Similarly, Demeter’s worship at Eleusis was central to agricultural and spiritual life, demonstrating the deep connection between divine power and human existence. These deities were not merely symbols; they were revered beings believed to influence everything from war strategies to the fertility of the land.  
    Beyond religion, Greek goddesses also played a major role in storytelling, appearing in epic poetry, drama, and philosophy. Figures like Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite were central to the Trojan War myth, while Persephone’s descent into the underworld explained the changing of the seasons. Their myths often reflected the Greeks’ views on power, femininity, and morality. Unlike the rigid roles imposed on mortal women, the goddesses possessed a wide range of attributes, from Artemis’s independence and warrior spirit to Hestia’s quiet but essential presence as the guardian of the home. Through these divine narratives, the Greeks explored themes of justice, fate, love, and revenge, using their goddesses as symbols of both order and chaos.
