Titres dans Égypte

Egipto es considerado una de las cunas de la civilización y su vasta historia ha llamado desde siempre la atención de todas las ramas del saber. Las ciclópeas y enigmáticas pirámides, la esfinge y otros monumentos son sólo algunas muestras de su fascinante historia que se remonta al 10000 a.C. y en la cual convergieron distintas culturas, entre las etapas denominadas Predinástico y Período Tardío.

Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world's first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world.

The life story of Ramesses II is voluminously recorded and illustrated through documents and inscriptions, and it is even represented physically through his funerary goods and the well-preserved mummified remains of the man himself. But despite the resources available with which to reason about who Ramesses II was and what his impact might have been, there is also a necessary disconnection between him and those who chronicled his story.

Grabräuber, Mumien und Pharaonen...Das alte Ägypten ist ein Phänomen für die Wissenschaft und ein beständiger Quell neuer Hypothesen und abenteuerlicher Theorien. Die vorliegende Hördokumentation beschäftigt sich mit dem Alltag des Pharaonenvolkes, von der Einigung unter- und Oberägyptens über den Pyramidenbau bis zum Einfluss der Römer. Wir betrachten eingehend die Ägyptomanie Bonapartes und die Wiederkehr dieses Kultes durch Carters Weltsensation, der Entdeckung des unberührten Königsgrabes Tutenchamuns.

What is often referred to as Egyptian mythology is actually a collection of all myths that existed in ancient Egypt. Call them myths or beliefs - these were an important part of ancient Egyptian religion and described the actions of the many gods and goddesses.

This book is a sequel to Dr. Goldberg's Time Travelers from Our Future, and depicts the significance of Hermes, the very first time traveler, on both Egypt's development and our planet's heritage. According to Dr. Goldberg's case histories and research, Egypt developed from four sources: Lemuria(Mu), Atlantis, ETs, and time travelers. One of the most dramatic chapters deals with Hermes' role as Moses' advisor and rewrites the history of the Exodus by demonstrating that the original jewish people were Egyptians!

Little more than two hundred years ago, only the most reckless or eccentric Europeans had dared traverse the unmapped territory of the modern-day Middle East. Its history and peoples were the subject of much myth and speculation–and no region aroused greater interest than Egypt. It was not...

The lack of libraries in the West helped contribute to the popular imagination of the ancient Library at Alexandria, and all the myths and legends that have come to be associated with it, but the Library of Alexandria deserves its reputation. While the exact nature of the Library remains murky, it functioned for at least several centuries and is believed to have housed hundreds of thousands of books, most written as scrolls on papyrus, and it essentially became the culmination of two ancient literary and cultural traditions converging.

Africa may have given rise to the first humans, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later.

Today, the term "Philistine" is often used as a euphemism for a person who is particularly uncouth, uncultured, ignorant, and possibly violent. Most people probably do not know the etymology of the word when they use it, and those that do probably only know the Philistines as villains from the Old Testament who were the eternal enemies of the Hebrews prior to and immediately after the latter formed the kingdom of Israel.

The ancient world was full of many fantastic cities and places, and like today's major cities, the great ancient cities were hubs of trade, religion, and science. Among the many cities of the ancient world, Rome and Athens may come to mind first, but the city of Babylon in the land of Mesopotamia was already an ancient, venerated city when the others were still inconsequential settlements

In 1595 BCE, a mysterious new army struck Babylon without warning, spreading terror throughout the city. These warriors would cross the ancient Near East, destroying anything in their way with ruthless efficiency. In a time of war and conquest, they were the mightiest military power of their age. They were the Hittites, a warlike civilization that rose in central Anatolia from the capital city of Hattusa.

When we think of ancient Egypt we think of the great pyramids, the Sphinx, Egyptian gods, and the great myths. But what influenced this great civilization to create and live as they did?

In northern Iraq, on the banks of the Tigris River, lie the ruins of the ancient city of Aššur. This was the first capital and the most important religious center of the Assyrian Empire.

Known today as Qal'at Sherqat, and also as Kilah Shregat, the city dates back to the third millennium BCE.

On the Salisbury Plain, only a few hours from the hustle and bustle of Central London, remains one of the greatest surviving relics of humanity's ancient past: the mighty stone circle of Stonehenge.

When scholars study the history of the ancient Near East, several wars that had extremely brutal consequences (at least by modern standards) often stand out. Forced removal of entire populations, sieges that decimated entire cities, and wanton destruction of property were all tactics used by the various peoples of the ancient Near East against each other, but the Assyrians were the first people to make war a science.

The story of the ancient Israelites in Egypt is one of the most famous stories in the world, and one of the most contentious from a historical standpoint. Today, most people know about the relationship between the ancient Israelites and the Egyptians from the Old Testament book of Exodus, and the numerous feature films that often depict the dealings between the two peoples in contentious ways.

The pyramids of Egypt are such recognizable symbols of antiquity that for millennia, people have made assumptions about what they are and why they exist without full consideration of the various meanings these ancient symbolic structures have had over the centuries. Generations have viewed them as symbols of a lost past, which in turn is often portrayed as a world full of romance and mystery.
