Book Synopsis From Cyrus to Alexander by : Pierre Briant
Download or read book From Cyrus to Alexander written by Pierre Briant and published by Eisenbrauns. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 1218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around 550 B.C.E. the Persian people--who were previously practically unknown in the annals of history--emerged from their base in southern Iran (Fars) and engaged in a monumental adventure that, under the leadership of Cyrus the Great and his successors, culminated in the creation of an immense Empire that stretched from central Asia to Upper Egypt, from the Indus to the Danube. The Persian (or Achaemenid, named for its reigning dynasty) Empire assimilated an astonishing diversity of lands, peoples, languages, and cultures. This conquest of Near Eastern lands completely altered the history of the world: for the first time, a monolithic State as vast as the future Roman Empire arose, expanded, and matured in the course of more than two centuries (530-330) and endured until the death of Alexander the Great (323), who from a geopolitical perspective was "the last of the Achaemenids." Even today, the remains of the Empire-the terraces, palaces, reliefs, paintings, and enameled bricks of Pasargadae, Persepolis, and Susa; the impressive royal tombs of Naqsh-i Rustam; the monumental statue of Darius the Great-serve to remind visitors of the power and unprecedented luxury of the Great Kings and their loyal courtiers (the "Faithful Ones"). Though long eclipsed and overshadowed by the towering prestige of the "ancient Orient" and "eternal Greece," Achaemenid history has emerged into fresh light during the last two decades. Freed from the tattered rags of "Oriental decadence" and "Asiatic stagnation," research has also benefited from a continually growing number of discoveries that have provided important new evidence-including texts, as well as archaeological, numismatic, and iconographic artifacts. The evidence that this book assembles is voluminous and diverse: the citations of ancient documents and of the archaeological evidence permit the reader to follow the author in his role as a historian who, across space and time, attempts to understand how such an Empire emerged, developed, and faded. Though firmly grounded in the evidence, the author's discussions do not avoid persistent questions and regularly engages divergent interpretations and alternative hypotheses. This book is without precedent or equivalent, and also offers an exhaustive bibliography and thorough indexes. The French publication of this magisterial work in 1996 was acclaimed in newspapers and literary journals. Now Histoire de l'Empire Perse: De Cyrus a Alexandre is translated in its entirety in a revised edition, with the author himself reviewing the translation, correcting the original edition, and adding new documentation. Pierre Briant, Chaire Histoire et civilisation du monde achémenide et de l'empire d'Alexandre, Collège de France, is a specialist in the history of the Near East during the era of the Persian Empire and the conquests of Alexander. He is the author of numerous books. Peter T. Daniels, the translator, is an independent scholar, editor, and translator who studied at Cornell University and the University of Chicago. He lives and works in New York City.

Book Synopsis Drauga - Indra Edition by : Michael Ford
Download or read book Drauga - Indra Edition written by Michael Ford and published by . This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indra Edition is available as a talismanic edition which is available for the 2nd International Left Hand Path Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, July 25th-27th. This edition will be sold by Succubus Productions/Luciferian Apotheca for this time period and will be out of print shortly after. A grimoire honoring Ahriman as the "Prince of the World" and the Daevas as 'Deific Masks' of primal power, DRAUGA has been a work which has been developed and adapted from ancient texts and practical modern interpretation. Presenting the origins of the Yatuk Dinoih (witchcraft) from Bronze Age Mitanni in Mesopotamia, Indo-Aryan North India (Rig Veda) and the cult of the Daevas including the storm/war Daevas Indra and Savar (Rudra), to the Persian Zoroastrian period, DRAUGA offers the historical and mythological foundation of the practices of Yatuk Dinoih and Ahura Mazda, Mithra, Anahita and the pantheons which held balance in the cosmological war of darkness and light. DRAUGA is beautifully illustrated by Kitti Solymosi and Mitchell Nolte, the sigils and illustrations present a gateway to a rich ancient tradition of Persian demonology and modern Left Hand Path (Luciferian) magical practice invoking the primal force of darkness and guiding it internally with the order-bringing Mithraic force of the Solar mysteries. The rites of the Yatuk Dinoih include adaptations from ancient Indo-Aryan, Median, Persian and Zoroastrian inversions associated with the Avesta and Vendidad ceremonies. The Yatukan tradition is centered on gaining insight, power and control over the elementals and internal darkness; the desires and instincts associated with Ahriman allows for pleasure, success, wealth and the balance of death, destruction and cursing ones' enemies.
Book Synopsis Cosmos, Chaos, and the World to Come by : Norman Cohn
Download or read book Cosmos, Chaos, and the World to Come written by Norman Cohn and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All over the world people look forward to a perfect future, when the forces of good will be finally victorious over the forces of evil. Once this was a radically new way of imagining the destiny of the world and of mankind. How did it originate, and what kind of world-view preceded it? In this engrossing book, the author of the classic work The Pursuit of the Millennium takes us on a journey of exploration, through the world-views of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and India, through the innovations of Iranian and Jewish prophets and sages, to the earliest Christian imaginings of heaven on earth. Until around 1500 B.C., it was generally believed that once the world had been set in order by the gods, it was in essence immutable. However, it was always a troubled world. By means of flood and drought, famine and plague, defeat in war, and death itself, demonic forces threatened and impaired it. Various combat myths told how a divine warrior kept the forces of chaos at bay and enabled the world to survive. Sometime between 1500 and 1200 B.C., the Iranian prophet Zoroaster broke from that static yet anxious world-view, reinterpreting the Iranian version of the combat myth. For Zoroaster, the world was moving, through incessant conflict, toward a conflictless state--"cosmos without chaos." The time would come when, in a prodigious battle, the supreme god would utterly defeat the forces of chaos and their human allies and eliminate them forever, and so bring an absolutely good world into being. Cohn reveals how this vision of the future was taken over by certain Jewish groups, notably the Jesus sect, with incalculable consequences. Deeply informed yet highly readable, this magisterial book illumines a major turning-point in the history of human consciousness. It will be mandatory reading for all who appreciated The Pursuit of the Millennium.
