Sinossi

In the realm of ancient civilizations, where empires rose and fell, and cultures flourished and faded, there lies a forgotten world of knowledge, inscribed in the wedge-shaped characters of cuneiform. "Histories and Tales from Ancient Cunei" takes you on a captivating journey through the world of cuneiform, unveiling the secrets of a long-lost era.

Within these pages, you will discover the remarkable story of cuneiform, a writing system that emerged in ancient Mesopotamia, the cradle of civilization. You will learn how this intricate script, etched into clay tablets, served as a vital tool for communication, record-keeping, and cultural expression. Through cuneiform, the people of Mesopotamia documented their history, recorded their laws, and shared their stories.

But cuneiform was more than just a writing system; it was a gateway to a world of rich and diverse literature. The Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the world's oldest and greatest stories, was inscribed in cuneiform, capturing the epic journey of a legendary hero in search of immortality. Myths, legends, and tales of love and loss were etched into clay tablets, providing invaluable insights into the beliefs and values of the ancient Mesopotamians.

Beyond its literary significance, cuneiform played a crucial role in shaping the development of science, mathematics, and law. Cuneiform texts reveal the sophisticated astronomical observations of the Mesopotamians, their mastery of mathematics, and their development of legal codes that governed their society. These cuneiform records provide a window into the intellectual achievements of a civilization that laid the foundation for much of our modern knowledge.

"Histories and Tales from Ancient Cunei" is not just a book about cuneiform; it is a journey through time, a voyage of discovery into the heart of an ancient civilization. As you delve into the world of cuneiform, you will uncover the enduring legacy of Mesopotamia, a civilization that left an indelible mark on the course of human history.

Join us on this captivating exploration of cuneiform, as we decipher its secrets, explore its diverse applications, and discover its profound impact on history. From the earliest clay tablets to the final remnants of this ancient script, "Histories and Tales from Ancient Cunei" will captivate your imagination and transport you to a world long forgotten, where the stories of ancient Mesopotamia come to life.

    - The Arab Spring: The Arab Springs stands as one of the most transformative events of the 21st century, reshaping the political and social landscapes of the Middle East and North Africa. Triggered in December 2010 by the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in Tunisia, the movement quickly spread across the region, igniting a wave of protests, uprisings, and revolutions.  
    - The Dakota Access Pipeline Protests: The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests were a defining moment in the intersection of environmental advocacy and Indigenous rights. Proposed to transport crude oil from the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota to Illinois, the pipeline’s route crossed sacred lands and the Missouri River, threatening water supplies and cultural heritage. While its proponents touted economic benefits and energy security, the project drew fierce resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and their allies, sparking a global movement.  
    - The Hong Kong Protests: Hong Kong, a former British colony handed back to China in 1997, has long been a symbol of political and economic success. Its unique status under the "One Country, Two Systems" framework promised a high degree of autonomy, preserving its freedoms and capitalist economy for 50 years after the handover. However, in recent years, this promise has been put to the test, as Beijing's increasing influence over the region has sparked widespread protests and growing unrest. 
    - The MeToo Movement: The movement’s resonance stems from its powerful message: sexual harassment and assault are widespread issues that affect women and marginalized groups across all sectors of society, from entertainment to politics, from workplaces to homes.

    The universe wakes up through you. 
    We see history as an unceasing flow of causality and time; an endless series of past events leading up to the present. We feel ourselves as the detached observers of it, somehow standing on the outside watching the world go by. But the truth is we’re not on the outside. We’re at the very center of it all. 
    Interweaving history, mythology, psychology, and mystical experience, author John Payne charts the journey of I from its Paleolithic origins through the emergence of language and literacy, forward through the worldviews of the Greeks and Hebrews, and on to the present time. 
    The premise of this book is that the Universe’s most sincere project is the creation of a self-reflection point called I. Climbing up out of the universe’s primordia using the rungs of matter, animal biology and cultural enterprises such as myth, religion, literacy and science, Consciousness has constricted itself to a place two inches behind your forehead. 
    And it has been waiting for you to wake up.
