Book excerpt: The dream of four Egyptians to immigrate, and to flee their destined ugly future, brings them together. They are rid but one choice to take on a deadly mission, and prove they are appealing candidates; otherwise their visa gets rejected and their dream lies shattered before their eyes once and for all. In efforts to save their future, their worlds collide, their cores shake, and the dream that once gathered them intertwines, twist and knots beyond repair. They fall deeper and deeper into the dark abyss of corruption. Their fate entangles, forcing them to fight in the struggle of life and death. Will they be able to undergo the needed transformation? If they make it alive, will they still pursue immigration, or stay and fix their troubled country? After all is it fixable?

Book Synopsis Sunshine on an Open Tomb by : Tim Kinsella
Download or read book Sunshine on an Open Tomb written by Tim Kinsella and published by featherproof books. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in fall 1988, Sunshine On An Open Tomb shuttles between two storylines: the creation of The CIA as a result of the Texas/Kingdom oil connection, and a love triangle involving the moon. Our narrator is the brooding runt of a political dynasty whose father is about to be appointed Prez. He is thoughtful, but has trouble expressing himself due to his many physical defects as a result of inbreeding. Desperate for content at the advent of the 24-hour news cycle, even our narrator is suddenly of interest to The Media. So after years of living freely among The Barbarians, The Family hides him away in one of its secret hideouts. Exhausted by the shape-shifting estate and his irresolvable love life, our narrator cloisters himself deep in the estate’s bunker and constructs a tomb around himself out of soup cans. Here he gets to work correcting the best-selling, so-called objective biography of The Family.
Book Synopsis Tutankhamun's Tomb by : Susan J. Allen
Download or read book Tutankhamun's Tomb written by Susan J. Allen and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2006 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book of vintage photographs commemorates one of the most memorable episodes in the history of archaeology: the discovery and exploration in 1922 of the tomb of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun (Dynasty 18, ruled ca. 1336-1327 B.C.). These photographs, documenting every stage in the process of discovery, were taken by the renowned archaeological photographer Harry Burton. Burton was a staff member of the Metropolitan Museum Egyptian Expedition when he was "lent" to Howard Carter, the famed excavator of Tutankhamun's tomb. From the rock-cut steps leading down to the entrance passage, to the opening of the sealed chambers inside, to the first view of the contents of the tomb and the removal of the objects, Burton's beautiful black-and-white photographs show thousands of the richly made and decorated objects found in the tomb. Carefully reproduced from Burton's original prints, the photographs are accompanied by new descriptive text written by two prominent Egyptologists with extensive knowledge of the history of Tutankhamun and the contents of his tomb.

Book Synopsis House of Eternity by : John K. McDonald
Download or read book House of Eternity written by John K. McDonald and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1996-11-28 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nefertari, the favorite queen of Rameses II, was buried about 3,200 years ago in the most exquisitely decorated tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Queens. Discovered in 1904 by Italian explorer Ernesto Schiaparelli, the tomb had deteriorated to a disastrous extent when emergency consolidation began in 1986. The six-year conservation project of the GCI and the Egyptian Antiquities Organization was completed in 1992. In this fascinating exploration of the tomb, John McDonald takes the reader through each chamber, describing the hieroglyphic messages depicted in the brilliant wall paintings and discussing the images within the context of Egyptian beliefs. He also offers insights into the life of Nefertari, the development and symbolism of royal tombs, and the construction and decoration of the tombs. House of Eternity is illustrated with historic black-and-white images and more recent color photographs that reveal the vibrant beauty of the wall paintings. In November 1995 the tomb was reopened to the public. Because of the potential for damage and deterioration to the fragile wall paintings caused by increased humidity, carbon dioxide, and microbiological activity introduced by visitors to the tomb, the number permitted to enter daily is strictly controlled by the Egyptian authorities. This book results from a desire of the GCI to enrich visitors' experience by providing a detailed descriptive walk-through of the tomb while conveying a strong message regarding the need for conservation and continuous monitoring to ensure the long-term survival of the tomb's paintings. Visitors to the tomb and the armchair traveler alike will find House of Eternity to be an excellent resource for understanding Nefertari's journey to the afterlife and for appreciating the extraordinary depictions of that journey on the walls of Nefertari's tomb.
Book Synopsis After Seven Wows and time in the Tomb, Jesus Resurrects on the Third Day by : Debbie Dunn
Download or read book After Seven Wows and time in the Tomb, Jesus Resurrects on the Third Day written by Debbie Dunn and published by T.R.E.A.T. Tales Presents. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Seven Wows and time in the Tomb, Jesus Resurrects on the Third Day is a book crafted for youth groups, Jesus lovers, church leaders, Bible study groups, and families. The author, deeply understanding these groups' unique needs and interests, has filled this book with conceptual color illustrations that will resonate with them and has included a study guide for their convenience. Seven Wows (unanticipated things) occurred right after Jesus died: Jesus died on command around 3 PM on Friday, 30 AD. The 60-foot-tall veil tore in the temple from top to bottom. An Earthquake followed. Some tombs opened, and these holy people walked around Jerusalem after Jesus' resurrection. A Roman centurion concluded Jesus was the Son of God. Followers of Jesus grieved and smote their chests when they saw the mangled appearance of Jesus' tortured body. To ascertain that Jesus was dead, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear but did not break His legs. Other parts of this book include: l Timeline from Adam to the Flood to King David to Jesus to Today. l Pilate permitted Joseph of Arimathea to house Jesus' body in his newly constructed tomb. l The book explains what happened to Jesus during His three days in that rich man's tomb. l On the third day, Jesus rose from the dead and appeared first to Mary Magdalene and later to dozens of followers, including eleven of His twelve Disciples. l The Pharisees bribed the soldiers guarding the tomb to lie and say that His Disciples stole His body. l Jesus gave His Disciples an assignment to share the good news with Jews and Gentiles worldwide. l On the fortieth day, the Disciples witnessed Jesus ascending into Heaven. l On Pentecost, 50 days after Jesus rose from the dead, He gave 120 followers the gift of the Holy Spirit. As a result, 3000 Jews converted. The author will donate fifty percent (50%) of all book sales to Covenant House, a charity dedicated to 'joining the fight to end youth homelessness.'

Book Synopsis The Tomb and Beyond by : Naguib Kanawati
Download or read book The Tomb and Beyond written by Naguib Kanawati and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides a much needed summary overview of the key elements of Egyptian tomb form, use and decoration over time. The tombs, with their scenes, inscriptions, objects and human remains, represent our richest source of information for the understanding of Egyptian beliefs and practices, art and architecture and of many aspects of daily life. Detailed, scholarly reports on individual cemeteries and tombs are abundant but in this fully illustrated, more general work, reproduced in this facsimile edition, Kanawati provides an invaluable introduction to, and overview of, the key elements of Egyptian tombs from Predynastic to the Late Period. The Egyptian dead enjoyed a continued existence in both the Netherworld and the land of the living – the individual possessing multiple entities that experienced different destinies after death. The tomb provided an everlasting earthly dwelling and consisted of a chapel above ground where the deceased’s cult was maintained and offerings presented, and a burial chamber for the body. Either or both could be richly decorated with paintings, reliefs and inscriptions. Kanawati describes and illustrates the principal forms and features of architecture and nature and subject matter of decoration and demonstrates how tomb design and decoration changed through time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most detailed set of studies ever on all aspects of one of the most beautifully decorated Egyptian non-royal tombs, new in paperback This lavishly illustrated book is the culmination of a project to document and conserve the tomb of Menna, one of the most beautiful and complex painted tombs of the ancient Egyptian necropolis at Luxor. Through conservation, the tomb, which previously lay open to environmental influence, was brought back to its former glory. Aided by non-invasive methods of scientific analysis, the historical and cultural importance of Menna’s paintings can now be viewed and studied and enjoyed by a worldwide audience. High-definition photography and drawings complement specialist essays by scholars, scientists, and technicians, who discuss the artistic and cultural significance of the paintings, their architectural context, and scientific importance. Directed by Dr. Hartwig and administered by the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) as part of its Egyptian Antiquities Conservation Project, the project was funded by a grant from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), sponsored by Georgia State University, and carried out in collaboration with Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities.
