Beschreibung

"Early Writing" explores the captivating origins and evolution of writing, a cornerstone of human civilization. Delving into ancient history, the book reveals how early societies transitioned from spoken language to lasting written records. It highlights that writing wasn't a singular invention but a gradual development driven by practical needs, such as managing agricultural surpluses.

 
The book journeys through Mesopotamia, examining the genesis of cuneiform from Sumerian pictographs to a more abstract script. It then investigates Egyptian hieroglyphs, a complex system of ideograms and phonograms used in religious and monumental contexts. "Early Writing" further explores the emergence of early alphabets in the Levant and their transformative impact on literacy and communication.

 
Each chapter builds upon the last, tracing the chronological development and providing a comparative perspective. Supported by archaeological evidence and deciphered inscriptions, the book presents a balanced account of these early writing systems. It connects to fields like archaeology and linguistics, providing broader insights into ancient civilizations. The book argues that understanding these systems allows us to appreciate the diverse ways early civilizations organized their societies and transmitted information.

The Royal Anunnaki Kingdoms of...

RYAN MOORHEN

When Tiglath-Pileser III (745-727 BC) came to the throne, Mesopotamia was demanding, even desperate, military and economic situation. Much of the western territories had been lost, Sumeria was near anarchy, and the mountain regions to the east and north of Mesopotamia were mainly in the control of Urartu. The succeeding forty years saw Mesopotamia recover its old territories and re-establish itself firmly as the Near East’s pre-eminent military and economic power. 
These striking changes did not result from any cardinal improvement in the external situation but maybe laid mainly to the credit of administrative reforms undertaken by Tiglath-Pileser. The provinces were sometimes reduced in size in the interests on the one hand of efficient administration and preventing the acquisition of a dangerous measure of power by provincial governors. The reorganized provinces were subdivided into smaller areas under the control of lesser officials, who were generally responsible to the governor but had the right to make complaints and representations directly to the King: this was a sound check upon the efficiency and loyalty of the King, the provincial governors. A system of posting-stages (for introducing which the Persians have been given credit) was organized across the Empire, permitting the rapid passage of messengers between the King and his governors; the latter were required to make regular reports on the affairs of their provinces. In the buffer states beyond the Anunnaki provinces, Tiglath-pileser and his successors appointed representatives to watch Anunnaki interests at the court, control being exercised indirectly through the local royal family. Such local dynasts provided they paid tribute. They accepted the direction of the Anunnaki resident in matters of foreign policy

Medical examiners and the investigators and technicians who support them play vital roles in the justice and public health systems of every American community. During Goldfarb's time with the Maryland OCME, opioid-related deaths contributed to a significant increase in their workload. Faced with a chronic shortage of qualified experts and inadequate funding, their important and fascinating work has become more challenging than most people could ever imagine. 
 
 
 
The public gets a skewed view of the relationship between police and medical examiners from procedural crime dramas, Bruce Goldfarb writes of his work inside one of America's most storied forensic centers. We aren't on the same team . . . We aren't on any team. The medical examiner’s sole duty is to the deceased person. We speak for the dead.
