Sinopsis

Aztec Warfare explores how the Aztec Empire, a relatively small group, dominated Mesoamerica through its sophisticated military system. The book examines the Aztecs' military organization, weaponry, tactics, and the role of ritual warfare. Readers will learn the Aztec army possessed a complex command structure and logistical support enabling sustained military campaigns. Also, the controversial practice of sacrificial captivity intertwined military action with religious belief. 

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with the historical context before delving into the structure of the Aztec army, weaponry, and battlefield tactics. Finally, it explores the religious dimensions of Aztec Warfare.

 
By drawing on archaeological evidence, indigenous codices, and Spanish accounts, Aztec Warfare avoids simplistic portrayals of the Aztecs as solely bloodthirsty warriors. Instead, it analyzes their military system as an integrated part of their society, offering valuable insights into pre-Columbian military history.

Egyptian Wisdom in the...

Gerald Massey

[T]he drama opens in Revelation the same as in “the Book of the Dead,” with “the resurrection and the glory” of the coming Son. “Behold He cometh with the clouds, and every eye shall see Him.” It is the risen Lord of Resurrection who says: “I was dead, and behold I am alive evermore, and I have the keys of death and of hades” (Ch. i 18). This is Horus of the resurrection risen from Amenta in his triumph over death and hell or Sut and Akar. He proclaims himself to he the all-one, Har-Sum-taui-Neb-Uâ. Jesus, like Horus, is the “faithful witness” for the Father… –from “Egyptian Wisdom in the Revelation of John the Divine” 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.

A Set of Six

Joseph Conrad

Each of the stories in this collection is spun from a simple, if typically wry and bleak, idea. In "Gaspar Ruiz", a South American general who has fought in a war of independence tells his guests a long tale about a notorious strong man that explains the origin of his current domestic arrangements. "The Informer" leads the reader into the depths of a political conspiracy, dealing very slyly indeed with questions of truth and pretence. In "The Brute", we are asked whether we can believe there could be such a thing as a positively malevolent ship, while "An Anarchist" introduces us to an unfortunate man who has had a vision of society itself as malevolent and has not been able to rest in peace ever since. "The Duel", the most obviously likeable tale in this collection, recounts the history of an unfortunate feud between two officers of Napoleon's army that caused them to fight a series of duels over many years. "Il Conde" rounds out the collection, giving a new twist to the saying "See Naples and die".
