Myths from Mesopotamia Creation, The Flood, Gilgamesh, and Others (Oxford World’s Classics)

Original price was: £8.99.Current price is: £7.85.
The ancient civilization of Mesopotamia thrived between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates over 4,000 years ago. The myths collected here, originally written in cuneiform on clay tablets, include parallels with the biblical stories of the Creation and the Flood, and the famous Epic of Gilgamesh, the tale of a man of great strength, whose heroic quest for immortality is dashed through one moment of weakness.

Recent developments in Akkadian grammar and lexicography mean that this new translation, complete with notes, a glossary of deities, place-names, and key terms, and illustrations of the mythical monsters featured in the text, will replace all other versions.
ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World’s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford’s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Uncovering Celtic Mythology: A Beginner’s Guide Into The World Of Celtic Myths, Fairy Tales, Folklore, Warriors, Celtic Gods and Creatures (Ancient History Books)

£23.99
Relive the magic of captivating legends and folktales in this rich collection on Celtic Mythology

In 58 BCE, when Julius Caesar – the famous Roman general – wrote a commentary on the Gallic wars, he described the “Celt” speaking people who lived in the area then known as the Gaul.

These people had their own culture, gods, and beliefs – called Celtic Mythology – which were very different from the Romans.

The influence of this mythology, however, was not limited to a small territory. This culture spread across Europe, especially to the western nations of Britain, Ireland, France, and Spain.

The legacy of Celts is still alive, and you may even have encountered these traces of Celtic culture:

  • The languages spoken by modern-day Irish, Scottish, and Welsh people
  • King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
  • The legends and pop-culture depictions of the shrieking spirit of Banshee
  • Conan the Barbarian, a very famous character appearing in films as well as comics
  • Bran Stark, from Game of Thrones, who becomes the Three-eyed Raven

The above examples are just a handful of successors from the ancient Celtic culture, and the last two draw direct inspiration from Celtic mythology.

And there’s even more from where those came from…

In Uncovering Celtic Mythology, you will discover:

  • A comprehensive, beginner-friendly guide to understanding the world of Celtic Mythology
  • The origins and culture of the Celtic people that inhabited Western Europe since the Iron Age
  • Symbolisms and Beliefs: explore creation myths, sacred trees, sacred festivals, and more!
  • Irish and Welsh Mythologies (and how they continue the folkloric traditions of the Celts)
  • The Great Cycles – relive the 4 great sagas that form the mythological history of Ireland’s Celtic people
  • A curated collection of folktales that form an important part of Irish and Welsh mythologies
  • 50+ character profiles – enjoy a lively cast of well known mythical heroes, gods, and goddesses
  • Over 30 different creatures – legendary monsters and mythical beings – waiting for you
  • How the Legend of King Arthur links with Celtic Mythology

And much more.

The Celtic culture, practices, beliefs, and myths are not just records of a bygone era… They are also examples of resilient traditions that continue to inspire mankind even in modern times.

This book is a handbook for exploring the depths of your own soul, guided by the Light that illuminates your being.

£14.99
This book embarks on a journey through time, tracing the deep genetic lineage of the Balkans from its earliest inhabitants to those who walk these lands today. Through cutting-edge DNA analysis, archaeological revelations, and the whispers of ancient texts, long-lost truths begin to emerge.

Serbia’s Hidden Past: From the First Europeans to Modern Times: A Journey into the Lost History of Serbia and the Balkans

£19.99
Serbia, a land rich in history, holds some of the most significant yet often overlooked archaeological sites in Europe. From the enigmatic stone settlements of Lepenski Vir to the advanced urban planning of Vinča, the region has been home to some of the earliest and most advanced civilisations on the continent. However, despite their importance, many of these ancient sites have been neglected, submerged, or overshadowed by modern developments. This book seeks to uncover the true history of Serbia by exploring its archaeological past and linking it to modern DNA analysis, revealing the genetic continuity of its people and the potential secrets hidden beneath its soil.
For centuries, mainstream history has often overlooked or misrepresented the significance of Serbian archaeological sites. The deliberate flooding of Lepenski Vir, the lack of proper excavation at Vinča, and the industrial developments at Viminacium raise questions about why these places have not received the attention they deserve. Were these events simply coincidental, or do they point to a broader effort to suppress historical truths? This book will examine these patterns, exploring the possibility that Serbia’s ancient past holds discoveries that challenge conventional historical narratives. By following a chronological timeline, we will trace the development of human civilisation in Serbia from the first known European settlers to modern times. The journey begins with the earliest human presence in the region, as evidenced by Neanderthal and early Homo sapiens remains found in caves such as Pešturina and Velika Balanica. These discoveries suggest that early humans inhabited the region far earlier than traditionally acknowledged, with genetic links to both Western European and Asian populations.

Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind

____________________________________

Less than 50,000 years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as “the greatest riddle in human history”, all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious “before-and-after moment” and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to the modern human mind.

His quest takes him on a journey of adventure from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain and Italy to remote rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa where he finds a treasure trove of extraordinary Stone Age art, ending in the depths of the Amazon rainforest, where he drinks the powerful plant hallucinogen Ayahuasca with Indian shamans, whose paintings contain images of “supernatural beings” identical to the animal-human hybrids depicted in prehistoric caves and rock shelters.

Could these “supernaturals” be the ancient teachers of mankind? And is human evolution in fact more purposeful and intelligent that we have barely even begun to understand?

The Sumerian Civilization: An Enthralling Overview of Sumer and the Ancient Sumerians (History of Mesopotamia)

£10.49
How much do you know about the “cradle of civilization?” Come explore the legacy of the brilliant ancient Mesopotamians who transformed the world.

Ancient Mesopotamia’s legacy was truly revolutionary. Childlike pictures scratched into wet clay evolved into the first written language. The Mesopotamians wrote the first epic poems, the first hymns, the first histories, and the first law codes. They developed the first wheel for transportation; simple carts that hauled bricks or produce morphed into chariots racing along at thirty-five miles per hour.

They gazed at the sky and mapped it, observing the planets’ retrograde motions and predicting lunar and solar eclipses. They developed the concept of time, measurements, basic counting, higher math, and hydraulic engineering.

Mesopotamia gave birth to the world’s first great empires—the Akkadians, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Achaemenids—which stretched over three continents.

A glimpse at the questions this overview unpacks includes:

  • How old is the world’s first city?
  • How did the Eridu Genesis compare to Noah and the ark?
  • How fast was the world’s first postal system?
  • How many times did Babylon’s patron god Marduk get stolen?
  • How did Hammurabi’s law code compare to the Law of Moses?
  • Who calculated pi (π) to the value of 3.125 and understood the Pythagorean theorem twelve centuries before Pythagoras was born?
  • Did Xerxes really have a million men in his army?
  • Which empire encompassed 44 percent of the world’s population?
  • What eunuch poisoned most of the Persian royal family?
  • And much, much more!
