The timeless original text; required listening for anyone interested in strategy. This is a work of subtlety and paradox that shows the way to a clean and aesthetic triumph. Sun Tzu insisted that a skilled warrior observes, calculates, outwits , and outmaneuvers an adversary, and in doing so averts the destruction of battle.

There are few characters in Egyptian myth whose image and name are more widely known than Horus. His name most probably means “The Distant One”; as the celestial falcon, his wings were believed to span the length of the distant sky, and his eyes were the sun and the moon. This name betrays the connection Horus shared with Re, the “all-powerful” sun god, and also hints at his earlier incarnation as one of the earliest celestial gods in Egyptian religious belief.

Regardless of her royal attributes, however, Isis was fundamentally a healer and a peacemaker. Nevertheless, as time went on and Egypt became more influenced by the outside world, Greece and Rome in particular, Isis came to be seen as the wrathful protector of Egypt and its kings. According to the sources, she was “[C]leverer than millions of gods” and more capable of protecting the country than “[M]illions of soldiers”.

Osiris was one of the most important gods in the Egyptian pantheon, and he could well be the most famous of the Egyptian gods today. Aside from the ubiquity of the sun-god Ra in much of modern popular culture, it is Osiris who captivates the minds of modern readers most. His story is both familiar and strangely alien. He is the god of the dead, but he became so by the very fact of his mortality. All the gods of ancient Egypt were capable of dying, but Osiris was also a symbol of resurrection.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

Uncovering compelling new evidence, Egyptologist Robert Bauval and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy present the anthropological, climatological, archaeological, geological, and genetic research supporting a hugely debated theory of the Black African origin of Egyptian civilization. Building upon extensive studies from the past four decades and their own archaeoastronomical and hieroglyphic research, the authors show how the early Black culture known as the Cattle People not only domesticated cattle but were also an advanced civilization.

Giza, non lontano dal Cairo, si ergono maestose le piramidi più famose al mondo: la piramide di Cheope, la piramide di Chefren e quella di Micerino. A tutt'oggi queste mastodontiche costruzioni conservano intatto tutto il loro fascino e il loro mistero. Decenni di studi ufficiali e ricerche archeologiche non sono riusciti ancora a trovare una risposta alle troppe domande che emergono non appena si ha la possibilità di osservare da vicino questi prodigi dell'architettura. Jeremy Feldman ha affrontato tutte queste domande proponendo da una parte le teorie....

Tutankhamon salì al trono a otto anni e regnò fino alla morte: queste erano le uniche notizie certe che si avevano di lui fino al 1922 quando, nella Valle dei Re, fu scoperta la sua tomba quasi intatta, contenente più di 5000 oggetti di enorme pregio artistico; la mummia del giovane faraone era deposta in una bara di oro massiccio a 22 carati del peso di 110 chilogrammi. La notizia fece subito il giro del mondo. La nebbia che avvolgeva la figura di questo sovrano e la sua epoca cominciò a diradarsi. In Egitto la monarchia ebbe una vita lunga quasi tre millenni.

His religious zeal and unchecked power lead him to commit one atrocity after another, and soon, those who dwell in the throne's shadows must enter into a fatal conspiracy to prevent Egypt from crumbling altogether.

Tutto questo fino a quando gli archeologi e gli avventurieri del secolo scorso hanno scoperto l'ultima dimora del faraone bambino e ci hanno messi a confronto con quello che è a tutti gli effetti uno dei più grandi enigmi della storia.
