Synopsis

Cursed Artifacts explores the captivating world of objects believed to carry misfortune, blending historical context, cultural beliefs, and psychological factors to understand our fascination with cursed objects. It examines how societies throughout history have imbued objects with spiritual significance, sometimes attributing malevolent power to them. The book argues that the perception of an object as cursed arises from a complex interplay of historical circumstances, cultural narratives, and individual psychological suggestion, not necessarily from inherent evil within the object itself.

 
The book progresses from introducing the concept of cursed artifacts to detailed case studies, like the Hope Diamond and Tutankhamun's Tomb, analyzing how legends and documented events contribute to their cursed reputations. It further delves into psychological phenomena such as confirmation bias and the nocebo effect, illustrating how our minds can shape our experiences.

 
By adopting a balanced and analytical approach, Cursed Artifacts provides a thought-provoking exploration of the human relationship with objects and the stories we tell about them.

    The Middle East today is characterized by an astonishingly bloody civil war in Syria, a highly racialized and militarized approach to the concept of a Jewish state in Israel and the Palestinian territories, an Iraqi state paralyzed by the emergence of class- and region-inflected sectarian identifications, a Lebanon teetering on the edge of collapse from the pressures of its huge numbers of refugees and its sect-bound political system, and the rise of a wide variety of Islamist paramilitary organizations seeking to operate outside all these states. 
     
     
     
    The region's emergence as a "zone of violence," characterized by a viciously dystopian politics of identity, is a relatively recent phenomenon, developing only over the past century; but despite these shallow historical roots, the mass violence and dispossession now characterizing Syria, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, and Iraq have emerged as some of the twenty-first century's most intractable problems. In this study, Laura Robson uses a framework of mass violence—encompassing the concepts of genocide, ethnic cleansing, forced migration, appropriation of resources, mass deportation, and forcible denationalization—to explain the emergence of a dystopian politics of identity across the Eastern Mediterranean in the modern era and to illuminate the contemporary breakdown of the state from Syria to Iraq to Israel.

    When roughly classed, the myths and legends generally show two points of departure for migrations of the human race, as these were rendered in the stellar and solar mythology. One is from the summit of the celestial mount, the other from the hollow underworld beneath the mount or inside the earth. The races that descended from the mount were people of the pole whose starting-point in reckoning time was from one or other station of the pole-star, determinable by its type, whether as the tree, the rock, or other image of a first point of departure. Those who ascended from the nether-world were of the solar race who came into existence with the sun as it is represented in the legendary lore… –from “The Exodus from Egypt and the Desert 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
