Sinossi

"Divine Twins" explores the fascinating prevalence of twin deity myths across diverse cultures and their profound significance in shaping religious, mythological, and historical narratives. These myths often grapple with fundamental aspects of the human condition, such as the tension between opposing forces like order and chaos or life and death, and the quest for balance. The recurring motif of twin deities, found in traditions as varied as the Dioscuri in Greek mythology and the Ashvins in Vedic texts, offers insights into how humanity understands the cosmos, morality, and the self. This book argues that these myths aren't mere coincidences but rather shared reflections of psychological and philosophical concerns. By examining examples from ancient cultures, the book uncovers recurring themes such as fraternal rivalry and shared destinies, demonstrating how these narratives address questions of identity, destiny, and the relationship between the human and divine realms.

 
"Divine Twins" adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from religious studies, anthropology, and history to provide a holistic understanding. The book progresses by first introducing the concept of twin deities and cosmic duality, then delving into case studies from various traditions. It analyzes the attributes, roles, and narratives of these twin figures, emphasizing their representation of complementary forces. This approach maintains scholarly rigor while remaining accessible to a broad audience, making it valuable for both students and general readers interested in comparative religion and ancient cultures.

How I Found the Lost Atlantis!...

Dr. Paul Schliemann

The article on which this audio book is based was published in the 'New York American' on October 20th, 1912.  
The author, Dr. Paul Schliemann, was the grandson of Heinrich Schliemann (1822 - 1890), a founder of modern archaeology. In this famous archaeological hoax he makes outrageous and sensational claims about the lost continent Atlantis, and his grandfather’s research.  
The text was written in an age when many of the Victorian adventure writers, like H. Rider Haggard in Britain, Emilio Salgari in Italy and Karl May in Germany topped reading lists. In 1912, the jungle calls of Tarzan echoed through American pulp magazines for the very first time.  
Paul Schliemann capitalizes on the contemporary craze for his grandfather’s archaeological discoveries, for lost worlds and legendary characters like the queen of Sheba and Prester John. Since 1907, Howard Carter had been excavating in Egypt, and in 1922 Carter made his historical discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. 
Paul Schliemann’s article is highly entertaining, and features passages reminiscent of Indiana Jones. Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, gives a spirited performance of what has become a classic and much loved hoax in archaeological circles.
