He devises ten walks, each demonstrating a different chapter of Amsterdam's history, from its humble beginnings in the early 1200s as a small fishing community through two Golden Ages, fueled by the growth of the Dutch colonial empire, two world wars, and countless reinventions.

Neue Ausgrabungen weisen auf eine Besiedlung des Elbtals durch die Slawen im 7. Jahrhundert hin. Dabei geht der Name auf das slawische Wort für Sumpfwald zurück. Um 929 von der Burg Meißen unterworfen, entwickelte sich die Stadtbevölkerung so geschwind, dass es zur Germanisierung und 1206 schließlich zur ersten urkundlichen Erwähnung von Dresden kam.

Though it was one of the most advanced civilizations of its time and responsible for the most ancient prehistoric urban sites across the Indian subcontinent, the Indus Valley Civilization was forgotten for millennia, until 20th century archaeologists rediscovered and began excavations at Mohenjo-daro and Harappa.

In his debut book, Landon discusses everything you've ever wanted to know about the South, including why they say the things they say, why they eat the things they eat, and what it really means when someone says, "Bless your heart."

Throughout time, felines have played a sacred role in human life. In this guidebook, you’ll meet 51 feline deities and demons from four geographical families around the world—Africa, Americas, Asia, and Europe.

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.

Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 7 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explains how Egyptian wisdom–which greatly concerns itself with matters of the womb and birth, water, and the offspring of gods–was appropriated by the Hebrew holy books, and explains how the Hebrew account of creation is a clear repetition of Egyptian mythology.

The origin of a saviour in the guise of a little child is traceable to Child-Horus, who brought new life to Egypt every year as the Messu of the inundation. This was Horus in his pre-solar and pre-human characters of the fish, the shoot of the papyrus, or the branch of the endless years. In a later stage the image of Horus on his papyrus represented the young god as solar cause in creation.

Las ideas africanas sobre cómo empezó el mundo son muy diferentes de la historia del Génesis. Aunque en repetidas ocasiones se considera que el dios creador se ha retirado del mundo, la gente suele tener una relación muy directa e intensa con semidioses, antepasados y espíritus de la sabana. Todo el paisaje está impregnado de significados espirituales y habitado por dioses y espíritus. Aunque hoy en día muchos africanos siguen formalmente la fe cristiana o musulmana, a menudo mezclan estas creencias con ritos y tradiciones ancestrales.

É muito comum no Nordeste que um artista ou qualquer outra pessoa dê um mote palavra ou ideia a ser desenvolvida numa glosa a um violeiro, cantador ou folhetista. Em 1970, quando tinha apenas 23 anos, o escritor Raimundo Carrero escreveu o conto 'O bordado, a pantera negra', que o consagrado...
