Ancient Egypt, Secrets from the Manuscript of Master Kalika-Khenmetaten, circa 1370 B.C. by M.G. Hawking 4.4 Stars (14 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

This book reveals the profound secret knowledge of the Egyptian Master Kalika-Khenmetaten, who lived and authored her esoteric manuscripts under the patronage of the great Kings of Egypt, Amenhotep III and his successor Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), over three-thousand-three-hundred years ago. Kalika produced this manuscript for important reasons. It is to some extent a manual, a comprehensive guide to reaching higher awareness, written by a supreme master for masters, but not only for masters. Kalika intended that it could be utilized by persons of requisite ability to understand and reach, through their own efforts, significantly expanded levels of awareness. It sets forth the fundamental recognitions and essential principles of consciousness necessary to attain extraordinary perceptive abilities and personal powers. Author's Note: "In the ongoing task of penetrating the incredible mysteries of Ancient Egypt, I have endeavored in this book to accomplish the last part of an assignment which I accepted many years ago, to compose an in-depth account of what we know of Kalika-Khenmetaten and her brilliant writings. I wish to tell as much as I can of the contributions her genius has made to the heritage of mankind, and to chronicle and contemplate, in their causes and results, the wisdom of her philosophy and the achievements of her art. I do not need to be told in its very conception how immodest this endeavor is; many years of effort have made it clear that no one mind, and no single lifetime, can adequately encompass this task simply because the story of Kalika is one of the most epic in history and her writings reveal the great knowledge and power of the masters of distant ages. "Writing an account of Kalika-Khenmetaten shares the presumptuousness of every philosophical enterprise, for it strives to mark in mortal words immortal things. Nevertheless, it is my greatest hope, despite the many errors inevitable in this undertaking, that this book may be of profound ...

Printing and Prophecy: Prognostication and Media Change 1450-1550 (Cultures Of Knowledge In The Early Modern World) by Jonathan Green (University of Michigan Press) 5.0 Stars (5 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Printing and Prophecy: Prognostication and Media Change 1450-1550 examines prognostic traditions and late medieval prophetic texts in the first century of printing and their effect on the new medium of print. The many prophetic and prognostic works that followed Europe's earliest known printed book---not the Gutenberg Bible, but the Sibyl's Prophecy, printed by Gutenberg two years earlier and known today only from a single page---over the next century were perennial best sellers for many printers, and they provide the modern observer with a unique way to study the history and inner workings of the print medium. The very popularity of these works, often published as affordable booklets, raised fears of social unrest. Printers therefore had to meet customer demand while at the same time channeling readers' reactions along approved paths. Authors were packaged---and packaged themselves---in word and image to respond to the tension, while leading figures of early modern culture such as Paracelsus, Martin Luther, and Sebastian Brant used printed prophecies for their own purposes in a rapidly changing society. Based on a wide reading of many sources, Printing and Prophecy contributes to the study of early modern literature, including how print changed the relationship among authors, readers, and texts. The prophetic and astrological texts the book examines document changes in early modern society that are particularly relevant to German studies and are key texts for understanding the development of science, religion, and popular culture in the early modern period. By combining the methods of cultural studies and book history, this volume brings a new perspective to the study of Gutenberg and later printers.

The Lost City of Antarctica, Ancient Earth’s First Civilization by M.G. Hawking 3.1 Stars (27 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Explore Evidence of an Ancient Lost City on the Antarctic Continent. For decades the archaeological community labored under the theory that human civilization began only following the last Ice Age. Contemporary discoveries have dramatically undermined that conjecture. Modern research has unearthed hidden cities one after another -- archaeology now reconstructs an unsuspected antiquity of man and paints a canvas of stunningly mysterious dimensions. Previous academic accounts of the origins of civilization have fallen forfeit to evidence from archaeological sites worldwide, including Thebes (c. 37,900 BC), Edfu (c. 18,000 BC), Turkey (c. 12,000 BC), Bolivia (c. 15,000 BC), Indonesia (c. 22,000 BC), and most intriguingly, in Antarctica. To explore these remarkable finds and their implications, the explorations in this book are organized as follows: ? Part I: The Ancient Civilizations -- Provides archaeological background and information regarding the pre-Younger Dryas Boundary event civilizations, circa 10,770 BC or earlier, and the known cataclysmic astronomical events that eradicated most evidence of prehistoric civilization from the historical record. Examines the ancient traditions and extant evidence of the accomplishments and technology of currently known ancient cultures. ? Part II: A Very Ancient City in Antarctica -- Provides a detailed account of the satellite imaging evidence for the remains of an extensive Paleocene civilization existing under the ice of Antarctica, including "intelligently-made structures, resembling some sort of pyramidal and rectangular buildings." Also examines the ice-core derived, isotopic record from the Paleogene and Neogene geologic periods indicating that the infrastructure of an advanced civilization existed on the Antarctic continent approximately 55.5 million years ago, and may have been inhabited for 300,000 or more years. Examines additional evidence of anomalous high-energy particles emitting from the Antarctic ice ...
