Assyria: The Rise and Fall of the World’s First Empire (Bloomsbury Publishing)

£12.55

The first comprehensive account of the rise and fall of what historians consider to be the world’s very first empire: Assyria

‘A work of remarkable synthesis. The range of its sources is truly extraordinary . . . Frahm punctures a fair share of myths too’ Pratinav Anil, The Times

At its height in 660 BCE, the kingdom of Assyria stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf. It was the first empire the world had ever seen.

Here, historian Eckart Frahm tells the epic story of Assyria and its formative role in global history. Assyria’s wide-ranging conquests have long been known from the Hebrew Bible and later Greek accounts. But nearly two centuries of research now permit a rich picture of the Assyrians and their empire beyond the battlefield: their vast libraries and monumental sculptures, their elaborate trade and information networks, and the crucial role played by royal women.

Although Assyria was crushed by rising powers in the late seventh century BCE, its legacy endured from the Babylonian and Persian empires to Rome and beyond. Assyria is a stunning and authoritative account of a civilisation essential to understanding the ancient world and our own.

Justinian’s Empire: Triumph and Tragedy (The Fall of the Roman Empire)

£12.99

IT WAS AN AGE OF GLORY…
…BUT ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD.

‘A riveting account of Justinian’s reign that challenges traditional consensus’ Kirkus Reviews

The sixth-century AD witnessed a remarkable turn-around in the Roman Empire’s fortunes. Justinian’s general, Belisarius, recovered North Africa and Italy from the barbarians. An impressive new law code was inaugurated that would endure to this day. Astonishing building projects, like the iconic Hagia Sophia, rivalled the great monuments of Old Rome.

But rather than restoring Rome’s greatness did Justinian in fact pave the way for its collapse less than a century after his death? Drawing on the contemporary sources, especially those of the chronicler Procopius, Nick Holmes reveals a darker side to Justinian – a ruthless opportunist, whose costly conquests and misguided priorities drained the empire’s wealth and critically weakened its army.

This is the fourth volume in Nick Holmes’ series on the Fall of the Roman Empire. The first three books trace the empire’s story from the ‘crisis of the third century’, through its reinvention by Constantine as a Christian state, and then onto the fall of its western half. A fifth volume will tell of its rapid demise in the seventh century AD, when the first Islamic Caliphate became the new superpower of western Eurasia.

Tesla & The Cabbage Patch Kids: Exploring the lost Empire of Tartaria and the Reset of 1776

£12.99
The years is 1776 and across the world a reset is taking place, at the hands of the Elite. Their aim – to remove all traces of the Tartarian Empire!

Mud-floods, fire and earthquakes destroyed a great deal of the empire and the civil and the Napoleonic wars killed-off many of its inhabitants. Those that survived were incarcerated within the newly established asylums and prisons, hidden away from those that now lived in the New World. Their children were taken and distributed to every major town and city, not just to be used as slave labour, but to repopulate too!

Centres of Healing became cathedrals and churches; technology that harnessed energy from the Aether was destroyed and then came the Industrial Revolution.

A repopulation program known as The Cabbage Patch Babies, produced thousands of human clones, that would grow up never knowing anything of the fallen empire.Then came Nikola Tesla, with inventions mirroring Tartarian technology, whose death would remain shrouded in mystery for all eternity.

Today we are living through another reset, at the hands of the descendants of the Anunnaki. This book serves as a stark warning of history repeating itself, with the hope of awakening as many people as possible, before it’s too late!

The Middle Kingdoms: A New History of Central Europe

£13.59

‘Fascinating, masterful … gems scattered throughout the book’ Peter Frankopan, Spectator

‘Quirkily original but also scholarly and authoritative, to be read for pleasure and serious reflection’ Telegraph

*The dramatic history of Europe’s shape-shifting centre, from the author of The Habsburgs*

Central Europe is not just a space on a map but also a region of shared experience – of mutual borrowings, impositions and misapprehensions. From the Roman Empire onwards, it has been the target of invasion from the east. In the Middle Ages, Central Europeans cast their eastern foes as ‘the dogmen’. They would later become the Turks, Swedes, Russians and Soviets, all of whom pulled the region apart and remade it according to their own vision.

Competition among Europe’s Middle Kingdoms yielded repeated cultural effervescences. This was the first home of the High Renaissance outside Italy, the cradle of the Reformation, the starting point of the Enlightenment, Romanticism, the symphony and modern nationalism. It was a permanent battleground too for religious and political ideas.

Most recent histories of Central Europe confine themselves to the lands in between Germany and Russia, homing in on Poland, Hungary, and what is now the Czech Republic. This new history embraces the whole of Central Europe, including the German lands as well as Ukraine and Switzerland. The story of Europe’s Middle Kingdoms is a reminder of Central Europe’s precariousness, of its creativity and turbulence, and of the common cultural trends that make these lands so distinctive.

Mystery Cults in the Ancient World

£14.15
A landmark study of ancient Greek and Roman cults, from the nocturnal mysteries at Eleusis to the cults of Dionysus and Mithras.

Mystery cults are one of the most intriguing areas of Greek and Roman religion. In the nocturnal mysteries at Eleusis, participants dramatically re-enacted the story of Demeter’s loss and recovery of her daughter Persephone; in Bacchic cult, bands of women ran wild in the Greek countryside to honour Dionysus; in the mysteries of Mithras, men came to understand the nature of the universe and their place within it through frightening initiation ceremonies and astrological teachings.

These cults were an important part of life in the ancient Mediterranean world, but their actual practices were shrouded in secrecy, and much of what they were about has remained unclear until now. This is the first book to describe and explain all the major mystery cults of the ancient world, cult by cult, reconstructing the rituals and exploring their origins. It makes plentiful use of artistic and archaeological evidence, as well as ancient literature and epigraphy. Greek painted pottery, Roman frescoes, inscribed gold tablets from Greek and South Italian tombs and the excavated sites of ancient religious sanctuaries all contribute to our understanding of ancient mystery cults. Making use of the most recent work on these cults, the book is also informed by crucial current work on the anthropology and cognitive science of religion.

Not only is this clearly written book a significant contribution to the study of these cults, but it is also accessible to a general readership. More than any other book on ancient religion, it allows the reader to understand what it was like to participate in these life-transforming religious events.

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

£14.99
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.

Beneath the myths and legends passed down through centuries lies something far older—fragments of history encoded within us, waiting to be uncovered. The past is not lost. It lives, hidden in the shadows of time, waiting for those who dare to look.

Cosmic Legacy of Ancient Egypt

£15.49

Today, we do not use our ancient cosmic orientation to relate to the natural world as we once did. It’s no longer determined by where we are or what time it is by the Sun’s daily motion across the sky. Our perception of the outside world has changed, and we have lost our sense of wholeness within a great system. Factors such as our work and play rhythms, clothing, diet, and travel are affected by climatic and seasonal factors. These factors affect our unconscious sense of timing and our ability to communicate with nature, which we often overlook.

Often we marvel at the apparent serenity and spiritual confidence of ancient people, forgetting that their tools were taught and used within an environment that encouraged them to recognize and embrace natural and divine forces. These tools enabled one to maintain a profound sense of cosmic orientation, keep it, and view one’s role as actual spiritual work. In ancient Egypt, a man named Al was gifted with a sense of cosmic orientation.

As dams have been constructed in our era, the Nile no longer produces an annual flood, but understanding the rhythm of that event and others associated with it is essential to understanding Egyptian rituals and ceremonies. To restore cosmic orientation, we need to leave our temporal field of time and enter the visible universe of ancient Egypt, where cosmic rhythms sustained human life, nature, and even the gods.

For Egyptians, both secular and spiritual matters were governed by the concept of time. Even though the gods’ realms (Neheh) were considered eternal, they were also continuous and manifested in cycles. According to cosmic life’s ebbs and flows, gods appeared at different times but were lasting and constant. Through the medium of heavenly bodies, events take place in linear time (Djet) and according to the ebb and flow of cosmic life. The three dimensions of cosmic activity were thought to be formed by three distinct rhythms, the lunar, solar, and stellar.

Magic and Mysteries of Ancient Egypt

£18.40
Of all the civilisations of the ancient world, Egypt holds the greatest fascination. Both art and science flourished, and the knowledge of medicine, anatomy and biology was unequalled until modern scientific breakthroughs were made. The ancient Egyptians were also masters and mistresses of the magical arts. Magic was part of the very structure and fabric of their society and the Egyptians’ understanding of the spiritual realms, and of those hidden powers of the mind that we call psychic and magical, were unsurpassed. In Magic and Mysteries of Ancient Egypt you will learn how the ancient Egyptians used their psychic and magical powers to help them in everyday life. You will understand the cosmos as the ancient Egyptians saw it and become familiar with their pantheon of gods, including Heka, the god of magic.

The Ancient Mysteries: A Sourcebook of Sacred Texts

£19.34

Zeus and the other gods of shining Olympus were in reality divine only by popular consent. Over the course of time Olympian luster diminished in favor of religious experiences more immediate to the concerns of people living in an increasingly cosmopolitan ancient world. These experiences were provided by the mysteries, religions that flourished particularly during the Hellenistic period and were secretly practiced by groups of adherents who decided, through personal choice, to be initiated into the profound realities of one deity or another. Unlike the official state religions, in which people were expected to make an outward show of allegiance to the local gods, the mysteries emphasized an inwardness and privacy of worship within a closed band of initiates.
In this book, Marvin W. Meyer explores the sacrifices and prayers, the public celebrations and secret ceremonies, the theatrical performances and literary works, the gods and goddesses that were a part of the mystery religions of Greece in the seventh century B.C. to the Judaism and Christianity of the Roman world of the seventh century A.D.

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

£22.52
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.

If you want to explore the magical myths of Celtic Mythology – and have fun while doing it – then scroll up and click “Add to Cart” right now.
