Stones of the Gods: Ancient Stones from Corsica The Tyurganat Site; nick-named as: "Tyugga" ----------------------------------- Approx. 150 Sculpted Stones depicted as; Animals & Man, Idols from various ages; Egyptian to Paleolithic Stone age, and further back to dinosaur beginnings often called the Mesozoic Era. Cultures from: Druids, Pagan Revelers, Egyptian, Tribal & Indigenous Islander's; entertaining their lifestyles, stories & beliefs, w/the sculpted stones. Identification, Nomenclature & Photography of over a 150 Ancient Sculptures. --- Time Description: "Tyugga" is filled with massive Stone Heads, where one head, is as large as 20 men. Druid-Egyptian beginnings, somewhere around 10,000 BC. However, the stone carvings and arduous work intensity with animals sculptures in particular, appears to have been from a time earlier. Most likely from animal worshiper tribes, practicing "zoolatry," and some "zoomorphic." A time closer to prehistoric Europe, of 20,000 BC. Where Animal Gods were not only regularly worshiped, but revered as keepers of life and death, as we know it. The fossil stones go back into the Paleolithic eras, before 50,000 BC. --- Location: There are large & small deities, along the trails, cliffs and small isles in the Mediterranean Sea. --- Unusual Stone Idols: An Ocean Dragon (back cover), Gremlins, Giant Sloths, Trolls, Devils & Hobglins, Druids, Giant Rukh* Birds, High Priest Stones, Pharaoh Stones & Nordic Gods. (pronounced Rook, also spelled Ruk) Other Animal Gods (life-sized & Giant-sized*); Birds*, Snakes*, Boars*, Sea Turtles, Tiger, Antelope*, Hyena, Rat, Dogs, Lioness, Marmots, Rabbits*, Wolves*, Owls*, Lizards*, Seals, Whales, Walrus, Sharks, Fish, Gorilla*, Caterpillars*, Brahmas*, Crocodile, Hippo, Goat, Frogs*, etc. Table of Contents: to locate over 150 Gods (animal or human) & their group, by associated page number. On each of their subsequent pages, a photo is included for each, with details for each sculpted stone character, or group of characters. --- The Corsican Site: Statues & Headstones, at "Tyurganat" can be seen as a comical finding, as well as ritualistic and serious (a few old tribal villager heads). Tyugga is an Archaeological site that will forever change your mind; about just how Giant our former Dinosaurs and Dragons actually were. Stone nested coves, next to the sea, filled with giant reptiles & birds. Animals that consequently, built the mountains, from their own ancient stone bodies. --- From a Reviewer's Perspective: An excellent book, discussing Cosmology, and how the keys to their cultural beliefs can be discovered in even more details. She also relates stories, for many of the stone animal scenes. Stories that would have been a pivotal inclusion for their tribes, w/their day-to-day journey toward contentment. Stories from the statues, that include the stars used as a guide, which brought them their most fortunate lifestyles. A minus on some of the photography resolutions, as she says, but on the good side of it, there are more animals and idols included in this book, because of it. Meaning more stone discoveries, brought to you, in one book. The Ocean Dragon & Sea Dragon discovery is tremendous, not to undermine the other stones though, as they can be quite incredible, including the Egyptian; Sleeping Wolf Stone. --- Other Interesting Archaeological & Architectural sites from the Travels of Therese, include: The Mayan Pyramids; in Chetumal, Mexico Mount Vesuvius; Pompei, Italy The Acropolis; Athens, Greece Meteora Monastery; Meteroa, Greece The Catacombs; Vienna, Austria The Munster; Ulm, Germany (oldest & tallest church spire) Roman Ruins; Jublains, France Lochness; Scotland Cork and Bantry; Ireland Many older Villages in; Austria, Germany, France, Italy, England, Scotland, Wales, Mexico, Greece, Mallorca, Menorca, Mainland Spain, Portugal, Stone bridges of St Augustine, Florida.

The acclaimed, bestselling rock-and-roll biographer delivers the first complete, unexpurgated history of the world’s greatest band. The saga of the Rolling Stones is the central epic in rock mythology. From their debut as the intermission band at London’s Marquee Club in 1962 through their latest record—setting Bridges to Babylon world tour, the Rolling Stones have defined a musical genre and experienced godlike adulation, quarrels, addiction, legal traumas, and descents into madness and death_while steadfastly refusing to fade away. Now Stephen Davis, the New York Times bestselling author of Hammer of the Gods and Walk This Way, who has followed the Stones for three decades, presents their whole story, replete with vivid details of the Stones’ musical successes_and personal excesses. Born into the wartime England of air-raid sirens, bombing raids, and strict rationing, the Rolling Stones came of age in the 1950s, as American blues and pop arrived in Europe. Among London’s most ardent blues fans in the early 1960s was a short blond teenage guitar player named Brian Jones, who hooked up with a lorry driver’s only son, Charlie Watts, a jazz drummer. At the same time, popular and studious Michael Philip Jagger–who, as a boy, bawled out a phonetic version of “La Bamba” with an eye-popping intensity that scared his parents–began sharing blues records with a primary school classmate, Keith “Ricky” Richards, a shy underachiever, whose idol was Chuck Berry. In 1962 the four young men, joined by Bill Perks (later Wyman) on bass, formed a band rhythm and blues band, which Brian Jones named the “the Rollin’ Stones” in honor of the Muddy Waters blues classic. Using the biography of the Rolling Stones as a narrative spine, Old God Almost Dead builds a new, multilayered version of the Stones’ story, locating the band beyond the musical world they dominated and showing how they influenced, and were influenced by, the other artistic movements of their era: the blues revival, Swinging London, the Beats, Bob Dylan’s Stones-inspired shift from protest to pop, Pop Art and Andy Warhol’s New York, the “Underground” politics of the 1960s, Moroccan energy and European orientalism, Jamaican reggae, the Glam and Punk subcultures, and the technologic advances of the video and digital revolution. At the same time, Old Gods Almost Dead documents the intense backstage lives of the Stones: the feuds, the drugs, the marriages, and the affairs that inspired and informed their songs; and the business of making records and putting on shows. The first new biography of the Rolling Stones since the early 1980s, Old Gods Almost Dead is the most comprehensive book to date, and one of the few to cover all the band’s members. Illustrated throughout with photos of pivotal moments, it is a celebration of the Rolling Stones as an often courageous, often foolish gang of artists who not only showed us new worlds, but new ways of living in them. It is a saga as raunchily, vibrantly entertaining as the Stones themselves.

National Bestseller * Named one of Rolling Stone's Best Music Books of 2018 * One of Newsweek's 50 Best Books of 2018 * A Billboard Best of 2018 * A New York Times Book Review "New and Noteworthy" selection The author of the critically acclaimed Your Favorite Band is Killing Me offers an eye-opening exploration of the state of classic rock, its past and future, the impact it has had, and what its loss would mean to an industry, a culture, and a way of life. Since the late 1960s, a legendary cadre of artists—including the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Black Sabbath, and the Who—has revolutionized popular culture and the sounds of our lives. While their songs still get airtime and some of these bands continue to tour, its idols are leaving the stage permanently. Can classic rock remain relevant as these legends die off, or will this major musical subculture fade away as many have before, Steven Hyden asks. In this mix of personal memoir, criticism, and journalism, Hyden stands witness as classic rock reaches the precipice. Traveling to the eclectic places where geriatric rockers are still making music, he talks to the artists and fans who have aged with them, explores the ways that classic rock has changed the culture, investigates the rise and fall of classic rock radio, and turns to live bootlegs, tell-all rock biographies, and even the liner notes of rock’s greatest masterpieces to tell the story of what this music meant, and how it will be remembered, for fans like himself. Twilight of the Gods is also Hyden’s story. Celebrating his love of this incredible music that has taken him from adolescence to fatherhood, he ponders two essential questions: Is it time to give up on his childhood heroes, or can this music teach him about growing old with his hopes and dreams intact? And what can we all learn from rock gods and their music—are they ephemeral or eternal?

This ground-breaking and provocative book presents new and astonishing interpretations of ancient history, mythology and world religions that will call many established beliefs into question. In Gateway of the Gods, author Craig Hines invites readers to reconsider preconceived notions concerning Biblical theology in light of recent scientific discoveries and inquiries concerning the nature of the universe. This fascinating exploration reveals a number of ideas that have been suppressed and obscured behind layers of symbolism and misguided propaganda for thousands of years... until now. Why is it that so many world cultures share details of an event when fallen angels descended upon the earth and fathered hybrid offspring called the Nephilim? Is it possible that these beings used "gateway" technology housed within pyramids and holy temples to travel between the heavenly and earthly realms? Do the latest advances in theoretical physics lend credibility to the idea that otherworldly beings might reside in dimensions parallel to our own? Do the recorded voices of the "dead," known as Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), indicate that we may be able to communicate with these other realms? Was a secret message embedded within ancient texts that could only be revealed after we have attained the knowledge and technology necessary to understand it? Does this message offer a solution to the approaching environmental disaster that scientists warn will be more devastating to human civilization than any others in recorded history? Drawing from a variety of historical sources and years of meticulous research, the author weaves together a compelling argument involving a range of seemingly disparate topics that when considered together, formulate a radically new narrative concerning the history and destiny of the human race.

In this book devoted exclusively to temples and perceptions of the divine presences that inhabit them, Michael B. Hundley focuses on the official religions of the ancient Near East and explores the interface between the human and the divine within temple environs. Hundley identifies common ancient Near Eastern temple systems and examines issues that include what temple structures communicate, how temples were understood to function, temple ideology, the installation of divine presence in a temple, the connection between presence and physical representation, and human service to the deity. Drawing on architectural and spatial theory, ritual theory, theories of language, art history, archaeology, sociocultural anthropology, and comparative studies, Hundley offers a single interpretive lens through which to view temple worship. Features: A close examination of temples in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Hittite Anatolia, and Syria-Palestine An interdisciplinary treatment of architecture, language, ritual, and art A dual focus on how a deity's divine presence connects to space and art and how human service to the deity maintains the deity's active presence

This book is vitally important to help prevent mixed-confusion and deny or stop the wicked from continued planting seeds of racial-disorder into healthy curious minds of all children, with the misuse of history. Education should show with correct color illustrations the many truths as it teaches for a clearer understanding of the world’s first civilizations, which is black history. No more wrong; deceptive depictions, depriving black peoples ownership is stealing of; their pride, dignity, self-esteem, and great contributions to preserve, for future generations.

In World of Worldly Gods, Kelzang T. Tashi offers the first comprehensive examination of the tenacity of Shamanic Bon practices, as they are lived and contested in the presence of an invalidating force: Buddhism. Through a rich ethnography of Goleng and nearby villages in central Bhutan, Tashi investigates why people, despite shifting contexts, continue to practice and engage with Bon, a religious practice that has survived over a millennium of impatience from a dominant Buddhist ecclesiastical structure. Against the backdrop of long-standing debates around practices unsystematically identified as 'bon', this book reframes the often stale and scholastic debates by providing a clear and succinct statement on how these practices should be conceived in the region. Tashi argues that the reasons for the tenacity of Bon practices and beliefs amid censures by the Buddhist priests are manifold and complex. While a significant reason for the persistence of Bon is the recency of formal Buddhist institutions in Goleng, he demonstrates that Bon beliefs are so deeply embedded in village social life that some Buddhists paradoxically feel it necessary to reach some kind of accommodation with Bon priests. Through an analysis of the relationship between Shamanic Bon and Buddhism, and the contemporary dynamics of Bhutanese society, this book tackles the longstanding concern of anthropology: cultural persistence and change. It discusses the mutual accommodation and attempted amalgamation of Buddhism and Bon, and offers fresh perspectives on the central distinguishing features of Great and Little Traditions.
