Book Synopsis The First Fossil Hunters by : Adrienne Mayor
Download or read book The First Fossil Hunters written by Adrienne Mayor and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fascinating story of how the fossils of dinosaurs, mammoths, and other extinct animals influenced some of the most spectacular creatures of classical mythology Griffins, Centaurs, Cyclopes, and Giants—these fabulous creatures of classical mythology continue to live in the modern imagination through the vivid accounts that have come down to us from the ancient Greeks and Romans. But what if these beings were more than merely fictions? What if monstrous creatures once roamed the earth in the very places where their legends first arose? This is the arresting and original thesis that Adrienne Mayor explores in The First Fossil Hunters. Through careful research and meticulous documentation, she convincingly shows that many of the giants and monsters of myth did have a basis in fact—in the enormous bones of long-extinct species that were once abundant in the lands of the Greeks and Romans. As Mayor shows, the Greeks and Romans were well aware that a different breed of creatures once inhabited their lands. They frequently encountered the fossilized bones of these primeval beings, and they developed sophisticated concepts to explain the fossil evidence, concepts that were expressed in mythological stories. The legend of the gold-guarding griffin, for example, sprang from tales first told by Scythian gold-miners, who, passing through the Gobi Desert at the foot of the Altai Mountains, encountered the skeletons of Protoceratops and other dinosaurs that littered the ground. Like their modern counterparts, the ancient fossil hunters collected and measured impressive petrified remains and displayed them in temples and museums; they attempted to reconstruct the appearance of these prehistoric creatures and to explain their extinction. Long thought to be fantasy, the remarkably detailed and perceptive Greek and Roman accounts of giant bone finds were actually based on solid paleontological facts. By reading these neglected narratives for the first time in the light of modern scientific discoveries, Adrienne Mayor illuminates a lost world of ancient paleontology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great drought has swept across western North America. The bison are dying, and with them The People. The Chosen One was murdered long ago and The Sacred Relics of the Ancestors stolen. Running Bison is desperate. He and Prairie Grass have traveled far to the west, following a 'gut instinct' in search of Clover Blossom. He hopes that the old woman has the Sacred Relics... but he arrives too late. Clover Blossom is dead and her granddaughter, Sage has fled. Running Bison sees all hope for The People vanishing along with her. Sage has indeed fled; her grandmothers dying words frightening her into taking a large vicious dog and only what she can load on a single travois, along with the strange packet she knows contains 'spirit power'. She has been instructed to protect it with her life, and return it to The People. Set against the Panorama of the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains of North America during late Paleo-Indian's Agate Basin Period, 9,500 years ago, The Spirit Hunters attempts to portray the way of life, the pain, agony, and joy of these early Americans. Get swept along in the life and death struggle of The People as they seek to survive the drought, the wrath of the 'spirits', and the deadly attacks of Raiders and Savages. Their only hope is the powerful leader Running Bison and an even more powerful woman, 'The Chosen'.
