First published in 1871, Ancient America delivers the earliest comprehensive English language survey of North America’s prehistoric past. Baldwin synthesizes scattered accounts—from the fluted point hunters of the Paleo Indian era to the monumental earthworks of the Mississippi Valley “Mound Builders,” and onward to the pyramidal cities of Mexico and Central America—into a single, lucid narrative.

Pelayo Quintero Atauri fue uno de los padres de la Arqueología española y marroquí, un investigador cuyo trabajo se desarrolló en tiempos de anticuarismo a caballo entre los siglos XIX y XX. Fue contemporáneo de los más prestigiosos arqueólogos europeos y americanos como Petrie, Delattre, Bingham, Carter, Mallowan…, y como ellos llevó a cabo su trabajo en unas condiciones que nos pueden parecer impregnadas del romanticismo naïve de finales del ochocientos y principios del novecientos.

In The Buried City, Gabriel Zuchtriegel takes us on a behind-the-scenes tour of Pompeii and reveals new archaeological finds that are being unearthed at the site’s biggest dig in a generation. As director of the Pompeii Archaeological Park, Zuchtriegel presents a uniquely intimate perspective on this city that was tragically destroyed and frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. Among the ruins, we find unmade beds, dishes left drying, and bodies of victims encased in ash, but Zuchtriegel shows that we’ve only begun to understand this fascinating place.

Daughter. Duhitár-. Dustr. Dukte. Listen to these English, Sanskrit, Armenian and Lithuanian words, all meaning the same thing, and you hear echoes of one of history’s most unlikely journeys. All four languages—along with hundreds of others, from French and Gaelic, to Persian and Polish—trace their origins to an ancient tongue spoken as the last ice age receded. This language, which we call Proto-Indo-European, was born between Europe and Asia and exploded out of its cradle, fragmenting as it spread east and west.

The library of Ashurbanipal, Assyria’s last great king, held an astonishing collection at the forefront of knowledge in its day, from ancient traditions in religion and literature to the latest developments in magic and medicine. When the Assyrian empire fell, the library burned to the ground, and its contents, clay tablets inscribed with cuneiform writing, lay buried for thousands of years until a team of Victorian archaeologists discovered the remnants in modern-day Iraq. The clay had baked and hardened; the very fire that consumed the library had helped its texts to survive for millennia.

Seit Jahrhunderten fasziniert die Geschichte des Heiligen Grals die Menschheit. Er soll der Kelch sein, aus dem Jesus beim letzten Abendmahl trank, oder das Gefäß, in dem das heilige Blut Christi gesammelt wurde. Er wurde von Rittern gesucht, von Geheimbünden gehütet, von Wissenschaftlern analysiert und von Abenteurern verfolgt. Doch trotz aller Legenden, Theorien und Spekulationen bleibt eine Frage bis heute unbeantwortet: Gibt es den Heiligen Gral wirklich – oder ist er nur eine Geschichte, die sich verselbstständigt hat? Dieses Hörbuch geht der Legende auf den Grund.

The Viking Great Army landed in East Anglia in late 865 and over the following fifteen years it fought numerous battles in all four Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, made and broke peace treaties, and deposed or killed at least three Anglo-Saxon kings, replacing them with its own appointees. It had a major impact on English society, initiating extensive transformations in Anglo-Saxon society, culture, economy, and political organization. Previous Viking armies had raided only in the summer months, but the Great Army was a constant presence over this period.

Ein jeder von uns kennt die Geschichten über Riesen wie das tapfere Schneiderlein oder Jack und die Bohnenranke. Auch in alten deutschen Sagen gibt es unzählige Geschichten über Riesen. Doch was wäre, wenn ich dir sage, dass diese Geschichten weit mehr als bloße Märchen und Sagen waren? Was, wenn ich dir sage, dass es Riesen einmal wirklich auf dieser Erde gegeben hat? Noch bis ins 20. Jahrhundert gab es nachweislich Menschen, die größer als 2,50 m waren.
