Secrets of the Pharohs

Sherif Shaban

Summary

For thousands of years and to this day, there have been numerous myths and misconceptions about ancient Egypt in the minds of many around the world. Perhaps it is because of the nature of the ancient Egyptians to keep the secrets of their civilization within the minds of their priests, like the secrets of the ancient Egyptian language and  hieroglyphic writing, magical secrets, miracles of architecture,  astronomy, and other knowledge that  other nations  could not understand, and turned into mysteries.  This book comes as a serious and sincere attempt to reveal  falsehoods and refute the myths surrounding ancient Egyptian  civilization, which unfortunately turned into facts in mind of the public and some specialists both inside and outside Egypt. So, let me take you through an interesting journey to discover the secrets of Ancient Egypt and to reveal its mysteries and myths.

Robert Graves' Greek Epics - The...

Robert Graves

Robert Graves’ Greek Epics includes the compelling war story, The Anger of Achilles, and the compelling world of Greek mythology in Hercules, My Shipmate.
The Anger of Achilles is a novelized interpretation of Homer’s Iliad, told by noted classicist and historical novelist Robert Graves. The war between the Greeks and the Trojans has reached a fever pitch. Offended by Agamemnon, the great Greek warrior Achilles is in his tent, refusing to fight. But then Trojan prince Hector slaughters Patroclus, Achilles’ close friend. Willing or not, Achilles must take revenge for his friend’s death, even if it will result in his own.

In this innovative take on the classic tale, Achilles comes to life in all his vivid rage, bravery, passion, and lust for battle. Combining his advanced expertise in ancient Greek warfare and culture with a talent for telling a compelling story, Robert Graves is the ideal translator to bring this ancient epic of war to a modern audience.

Hercules, My Shipmate is an inventive reimagining of the story of Jason and the Argonauts, this novel by renowned poet and classicist Robert Graves brings heroic figures of Hellenistic myth to life. Graves’ Jason is belligerent, energetic, and full of life, and the society Graves builds for him is outlandish and deeply invested in ancient cults.

Against this primitive, religious backdrop, the charismatic Jason assembles a crew and sets out to retrieve the sacred gold-trimmed fleece that is sacred to Zeus, and that has been stolen by worshippers of the Triple Goddess. Accompanying him is Hercules, a brave warrior known more for his brawn, and his astonishingly good luck, than his brains. Robert Graves builds a compelling world that sets Hellenistic magic and mystery in a surprisingly gritty, realistic setting, a fascinating read for fans of Greek mythology.

The Tales of Odin - Exploring...

Odessa Nightshade

Odin, the Allfather, stands at the heart of Norse mythology as the ruler of Asgard and the most revered of the Aesir gods. His presence looms over the myths, guiding fate through wisdom, war, and magic. Unlike many deities who rule with absolute power, Odin is a seeker—forever chasing knowledge, sacrificing for wisdom, and embracing the harsh realities of destiny. His relentless pursuit of understanding, even at great personal cost, defines his role as a sovereign figure in Norse tradition.
One of the defining aspects of Odin's character is his thirst for wisdom. Unlike other gods who rely on brute strength or trickery, Odin seeks knowledge from the farthest reaches of the cosmos. He surrenders an eye at Mimir’s well to glimpse the secrets of the universe, proving that true power comes not from force but from insight. His self-imposed suffering on the World Tree, Yggdrasil, where he hangs for nine days and nights to uncover the runes, further exemplifies his willingness to endure hardship for enlightenment. These sacrifices are not acts of desperation but a calculated investment in his dominion. To rule effectively, Odin understands that he must possess knowledge beyond that of gods and mortals alike.
While wisdom is his greatest pursuit, Odin is also a god of war. Unlike Thor, who thrives in battle with sheer might, Odin’s approach is more strategic. He governs over Valhalla, where fallen warriors, the Einherjar, prepare for Ragnarok. His connection to war is not merely about bloodshed but about the honor and destiny of those who fight. He chooses the slain, sending the Valkyries to collect souls for the final battle. Yet, Odin is not a god who fights on impulse. His understanding of fate informs his actions, and every decision he makes is in preparation for the ultimate conflict.

Mad in USA The Ravages of the...

Michel Desmurget

In America, liberalism brings prosperity to the majority? False. - In America, "anything is possible" for those who work hard? False. - In America, the unemployment rate is minimal? False.
In America, poverty is relative and the poor live "like modest Europeans?"
False. - In America, those excluded from the health care system receive free care when they really need it? False—really false. 

In an excellent investigation, with clear and relevant examples, Michel Desmurget shatters the myth of a beautiful and prosperous America where everyone can succeed as long as they are hardworking and courageous. Taking the opposite view of the current dominant discourse on the virtues of the Anglo-Saxon liberal model, the author writes a disconcerting antithesis, based on American researchers, sociologists and journalists who have studied the failures of the American model and who, for the most part, recommend surprisingly European solutions (universal social security, introduction of a minimum wage indexed to inflation, federalized education, etc.).
