First English-language edition, with revisions and additions by the author.This classic work by one of the world's most distinguished Egyptologists was first published in German in 1984. The Search for God in Ancient Egypt offers a distillation of Jan Assmann's views on ancient Egyptian religion, with special emphasis on theology and piety. Deeply rooted in the texts of ancient Egypt and thoroughly informed by comparative religion, theology, anthropology, and semiotic analysis, Assmann's interpretations reveal the complexity of Egyptian thought in a new way.Assmann takes special care to distinguish between the "implicit" theology of Egyptian polytheism and the "explicit" theology that is concerned with exploring the problem of the divine. His discussion of polytheism and mythology addresses aspects of ritual, the universe, and myth; his consideration of explicit theology deals with theodicy and the specifics of Amarna religion.

Beeler's funny and intriguing sampling of lost-tooth traditions from around the world shows that teeth are every bit as likely to end up down a mouse hole, in the stomach of a dog, or on the roof of a house, as they are under a pillow. . . . Lots and lots of fun."

A charming debut." Kirkus Reviews "This book describes a variety of rituals for the numerous occasions on which a child loses baby teeth. About a half-dozen countries in a broad geographic region are covered on each two-page spread. For each nation, an appealing youngster dressed in native attire provides one- or two-sentence summaries of local tooth customs. . . .

Four rare Buddha sculptures dating back to 3rd and 4th Century AD were unearthed from a tank in Khammam district last Thursday. The statues made of limestone were found in Ramasamudram tank in Nagulavamsa of Chintakani mandal when workers were removing silt. They brought it to the notice of the mandal revenue officer. Mr Nagaraju, who informed director of archaeology and museums N.R. Vishalatchy, said the sculptures were priceless and this was the first time that four sculptures had been found together (Representational image) While two sculptures were intact, one was damaged and other was headless. However, the damaged pieces were recovered from the site. Mandal revenue officer Srinivas Rao alerted the state department of archaeology whose rushed to the spot. “There were four sculptures, one more than 1 metre high and the others half-metre. They are made of limestone and dates back to 3rd and 4th Century AD. Either the place was a Buddhist site or someone might have hid them in the tank,” said Mr P. Nagaraju, assistant director, department of archaeology and museums. Mr Nagaraju, who informed director of archaeology and museums N.R. Vishalatchy, said the sculptures were priceless and this was the first time that four sculptures had been found together. The findings are significant since Khammam has a famous Buddhist stupa in Nela-kondapalli, which is a historical site with a mud fortification wall covering nearly 100 acre. Excavations have unearthed foundations of brick viharas, wells, cisterns, a maha stupa, terracotta figurines, bronze idol of Buddha, a miniature stupa carved in lime stone and other materials dating back to 3rd and 4th century AD. It is also believed that the Pandavas spent a year of Agyata Vasa after being exiled for 12 years, while working in disguise in the palace of Virata Raju, the king of Nagaram.

The Archaeology of Disease shows how the latest scientific and archaeological techniques can be used to identify the common illnesses and injuries that humans suffered from in antiquity. In order to give a vivid picture of ancient disease and trauma the authors present the results of the latest scientific research and incorporate information gathered from documents, from other areas of archaeology and from art and ethnography. This comprehensive approach to the subject throws fresh light on the health of our ancestors and on the conditions in which they lived, and it gives us an intriguing insight into the ways in which they coped with the pain and discomfort of their existence.

I teach both science and social studies but do not have two periods to do so, so finding and/or using easy-to-use, straightforward resources is vital to teaching all my content. This was a great way to do that. I also have the ancient civilizations bundle from A Page Out Of History and really like both resources. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful way for me as an educator to get started with interactive notebooks! My students enjoyed this! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great way to spice up note-taking! I made a teacher copy following the images provided and then it was easy to project for students using the document camera. ___________________________________ Having difficulty with a file?

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND SUNDAY TIMES, OBSERVER AND BBC HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR FINALIST FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING 2022 'Pacey and potentially revolutionary' Sunday Times 'Iconoclastic and irreverent ... an exhilarating read' The Guardian For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike - either free and equal, or thuggish and warlike. Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century as a reaction to indigenous critiques of European society, and why they are wrong. In doing so, they overturn our view of human history, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery and civilization itself. Drawing on path-breaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we begin to see what's really there. If humans did not spend 95 per cent of their evolutionary past in tiny bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? If agriculture, and cities, did not mean a plunge into hierarchy and domination, then what kinds of social and economic organization did they lead to? The answers are often unexpected, and suggest that the course of history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful possibilities than we tend to assume. The Dawn of Everything fundamentally transforms our understanding of the human past and offers a path toward imagining new forms of freedom, new ways of organizing society. This is a monumental book of formidable intellectual range, animated by curiosity, moral vision and faith in the power of direct action. 'This is not a book. This is an intellectual feast' Nassim Nicholas Taleb 'The most profound and exciting book I've read in thirty years' Robin D. G. Kelley
Neanderthal, one of a group of archaic humans who emerged at least 200,000 years ago in the Pleistocene Epoch and were replaced or assimilated by early modern human populations (Homo sapiens) 35,000 to perhaps 24,000 years ago.

Decolonizing “Prehistory” combines a critical investigation of the documentation of the American deep past with perspectives from Indigenous traditional knowledges and attention to ongoing systems of intellectual colonialism. Bringing together experts from American studies, archaeology, anthropology, legal studies, history, and literary studies, this interdisciplinary volume offers essential information about the complexity and ambivalence of colonial encounters with Indigenous peoples in North America, and their impact on American scientific discourse. The chapters in this book reveal how anthropology, archaeology, and cultural heritage have shaped the collective ideological construction of Indigenous cultures, while actively empowering the voices that disrupt conventional tropes and narratives of “prehistory.” Constructions of America’s ancient past—or the invention of American “prehistory”—occur in national and international political frameworks, which are characterized by struggles over racial and ethnic identities, access to resources and environmental stewardship, the commodification of culture for touristic purposes, and the exploitation of Indigenous knowledges and histories by industries ranging from education to film and fashion. The past’s ongoing appeal reveals the relevance of these narratives to current-day concerns about individual and collective identities and pursuits of sovereignty and self-determination, as well as to questions of the origin—and destiny—of humanity. Decolonizing “Prehistory” critically examines and challenges the paradoxical role that modern scholarship plays in adding legitimacy to, but also delegitimizing, contemporary colonialist practices.
