Stones of the Gods by Therese Vaux De La Fontaine Pdf
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.

Stones, Bones, and Ancient Cities by Lawrence H. Robbins Pdf
The idea for this book grew directly out of a course developed by Lawrence Robbins, Professor of Anthopology at Michigan State University, called "Great Discoveries in Archaeology." Professor Robbins saw the need for a good introductory book for the course. The book is primarily about four areas: 1) Spectacular and important finds and the way they were made; 2) The personalities concerned with many of these discoveries; 3) The reaction to the finds and their impact on both science and the public; and 4) Changing interpretations about the discoveries.

This study focuses on the development of archaeology as a discipline, tracing the milestones in the evolution of systematic excavation. It covers the entire history of archaeology from the "heroic age" (1450-1925), to the advanced stages of archaeology beg
The concept of Herem is found throughout the Old Testament and presented a problem to the Second Temple Jewish authors. In introducing the concept to their audiences and in applying it to themselves and other nations, they avoided it by reducing or expanding, omitting or changing the concept of Herem. Much evidence in Luke-Acts, however, indicates that Luke deliberately uses the concept of Herem in order to present the life and teaching of Jesus and his disciples. Jesus' death on the cross, resurrection and ascension can be seen as Herem, that redeems God's people. The disciples' thoughts and actions in Acts as well as all the Christ event are based on Jesus' teaching, such as Luke 9:24 and 20:25.Ultimately, this study suggests that readers of Luke-Acts should consider the whole Old Testament so as to understand Lukan use of the Old Testament and its attitude to the Mosaic law. Moreover, this study shows that the ethics of Luke-Acts are not limited to sharing possessions but related to offering or giving what belongs to oneself, even life, without expecting any reciprocal advantage. Furthermore, the concept of Herem detected in Luke-Acts makes it possible to argue that there is an 'atonement theology' in Lukan writings.

The Religions of Ancient Israel by Ziony Zevit Pdf
This is the most far-reaching interdisciplinary investigation into the religion of ancient Israel ever attempted. The author draws on textual readings, archaeological and historical data and epigraphy to determine what is known about the Israelite religions during the Iron Age (1200-586 BCE). The evidence is synthesized within the structure of an Israelite worldview and ethos involving kin, tribes, land, traditional ways and places of worship, and a national deity. Professor Zevit has originated this interpretive matrix through insights, ideas, and models developed in the academic study of religion and history within the context of the humanities. He is strikingly original, for instance, in his contention that much of the Psalter was composed in praise of deities other than Yahweh. Through his book, the author has set a precedent which should encourage dialogue and cooperative study between all ancient historians and archaeologists, but particularly between Iron Age archaeologists and biblical scholars. The work challenges many conclusions of previous scholarship about the nature of the Israelites' religion.
