Book Synopsis Temple of the World by : Miroslav Verner
Download or read book Temple of the World written by Miroslav Verner and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the prominence of ancient temples in the landscape of Egypt, books about them are surprisingly rare; this new and essential publication from a prominent Czech scholar answers the need for a study that goes beyond temple architecture to examine the spiritual, economic and political aspects of these specific institutions and the dominant roles they played. Miroslav Verner presents a deeper and more complex study of major ancient Egyptian religious centers, their principal temples, their rise and decline, their religious doctrines, cults, rituals, feasts, and mysteries. Also discussed are the various categories of priests, the organization of the priesthood, and its daily services and customs. Each chapter offers the reader essential and up-to-date information about temple complexes and the history of their archaeological exploration, in the context of the spiritual dimension and cultural legacy of ancient Egypt.

This book was released on with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kakatiya kings had ruled the Telugu speaking regions from Warangal as their capital during the period from 1000AD to 1323 AD. During the rule of Ganapathi Deva (1199-1262 AD), Rudrama Devi (1262-1289) and Prathapa Rudra (1289-1323AD), theKakatiya Kingdom emerged as a powerful state and there was all-round development. The rulers and their subordinates had constructed several large irrigational tanks and promoted agriculture. The tanks are still existing in and around Warangal region and providing water to the people for drinking and also for agriculture. There was a brisk internal and foreign trade which led to economic development in the kingdom. The writings of the foreign travellers like Marco Polo (Venice, Italy) are testimony to the prosperity and glory of the Kakatiya Kingdom. The Kakatiya Rulers had patronised scholars and artists and promoted literature and fine arts like music, dance, sculpture art and architecture. Vidyanada, the court poet of PratapaRudra had written Prataparudrayeshobushanam in Sanskrit language. VinukondaVallbamatya had written Kreedabhiramamin Telugu, Palkuriki Somanadha had written Panditaradya Charitra, Kolanuganapathi Deva had written Shivayoga Saramu, Kakatiya Rudra Deva had written Neetisaramu, Baddena’s Neetisara Mukthavali , Jayapa Senani’s Nritya Ratnavali in Sanskrit are very popular writings. The Kakatiya Rulers had constructed several temples and forts etc. The Warangal fort is very famous for its strength, art and architecture during the medieval times. The Temples of Palampeta, Jakaram, Ramanujapuram, Pillalamarri, Nagulapadu, Kusumanchi and several other places are known for their beautiful art, architecture and sculpture. The Ramappa Temple, Thousand Pillar Temple, Swayambhu Temple, Ganapeswara Temple of Kusumanchi, Ghanapur group of Temples of Mulugu region are well known. The sculpture art and architecture of these temples reflect the life and culture, art, crafts, costumes, sports, music and dance forms of their times and are inspiring the present generation. There are several aspects of Bio-Diversity reflected on the temple walls. There are several figures of lions, elephants, wild boars, cow and calf, swans, lotus flowers, creepers, snakes, birds, human figures both male and female etc, on the walls and pillars of the temple complex. They reflect the Bio- Diversity of those times and also the relation of man with the nature. This book is based on my research work under the Ph.D programme. I have undertaken field work and visited all the temples built by the Kakatiyas in the Telangana region. As part of the study, I consulted several Archaeologists, Historians, Writers, who worked on the Kakatiya Temples and Culture. I have also interacted with the local people, who have been living in the surroundings of the temples. I have also collected necessary data from various libraries like Kakatiya University Library, Central Library in Warangal and also Osmania University Library, Abzal Gunz Library, City Library, Srikrishna Devaraya Andhra Bhasha Nilayam, Hyderabad.

Book Synopsis Angkor Wat – A Transcultural History of Heritage by : Michael Falser
Download or read book Angkor Wat – A Transcultural History of Heritage written by Michael Falser and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 1169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book unravels the formation of the modern concept of cultural heritage by charting its colonial, postcolonial-nationalist and global trajectories. By bringing to light many unresearched dimensions of the twelfth-century Cambodian temple of Angkor Wat during its modern history, the study argues for a conceptual, connected history that unfolded within the transcultural interstices of European and Asian projects. With more than 1,400 black-and-white and colour illustrations of historic photographs, architectural plans and samples of public media, the monograph discusses the multiple lives of Angkor Wat over a 150-year-long period from the 1860s to the 2010s. Volume 1 (Angkor in France) reconceptualises the Orientalist, French-colonial ‘discovery’ of the temple in the nineteenth century and brings to light the manifold strategies at play in its physical representations as plaster cast substitutes in museums and as hybrid pavilions in universal and colonial exhibitions in Marseille and Paris from 1867 to 1937. Volume 2 (Angkor in Cambodia) covers, for the first time in this depth, the various on-site restoration efforts inside the ‘Archaeological Park of Angkor’ from 1907 until 1970, and the temple’s gradual canonisation as a symbol of national identity during Cambodia’s troublesome decolonisation (1953–89), from independence to Khmer Rouge terror and Vietnamese occupation, and, finally, as a global icon of UNESCO World Heritage since 1992 until today.
Book Synopsis Reconstructing the Temple by : Andrew R. Davis
Download or read book Reconstructing the Temple written by Andrew R. Davis and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines temple renovation as a rhetorical topic within royal literature of the ancient Near East. Unlike newly founded temples, which were celebrated for their novelty, temple renovations were oriented toward the past. Kings took the opportunity to rehearse a selective history of the temple, evoking certain past traditions and omitting others. In this way, temple renovations were a kind of historiography. Andrew R. Davis demonstrates a pattern in the rhetoric of temple renovation texts: that kings in ancient Mesopotamia, Israel, Syria and Persia used temple renovation to correct, or at least distance themselves from, some turmoil of recent history and to associate their reigns with an earlier and more illustrious past. Davis draws on the royal literature of the seventh and sixth centuries BCE for main evidence of this rhetoric. Furthermore, he argues for reading the story of Jeroboam I's placement of calves at Dan and Bethel (1 Kgs 12:25-33) as an eighth-century BCE account of temple renovation with a similar rhetoric. Concluding with further examples in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, Reconstructing the Temple demonstrates that the rhetoric of temple renovation was a distinct and longstanding topic in the ancient Near East.
Book Synopsis The Temple of Peace in Rome by : Pier Luigi Tucci
Download or read book The Temple of Peace in Rome written by Pier Luigi Tucci and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 1142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this magisterial two-volume book, Pier Luigi Tucci offers a comprehensive examination of one of the key complexes of Ancient Rome, the Temple of Peace. Based on archival research and an architectural survey, his research sheds new light on the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque transformations of the basilica, and the later restorations of the complex. Volume 1 focuses on the foundation of the complex under Vespasian until its restoration under Septimius Severus and challenges the accepted views about the ancient building. Volume 2 begins with the remodelling of the library hall and the construction of the rotunda complex, and examines the dedication of the Christian Basilica of SS Cosmas and Damian. Of interest to scholars in a range of topics, The Temple of Peace in Rome crosses the boundaries between classics, archaeology, history of architecture, and art history, through Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the early modern period.
