Golden Tome of Treasure Signs, Symbols, and Marks #1
Author: A. Adams
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781718672901
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
This book provides examples of candidate treasure signs, symbols, and marks still visible right now where the pavement and noise of civilization have not yet encroached. More than a mere table of idealized treasure sign sketches, this book is full of actual pictures of a wide variety of real signs, symbols, and marks from lonely corners of the ever-rugged North American Southwest. Many of these examples are in areas of known mineral wealth, along known routes of ancient travel, or in areas with a documented legendary tale. Others are from wondrous, stumbled-upon areas possessed of no current name, record, or legend. These are the most precious. In truth, Gold, Silver, Copper and valuable minerals have been recovered while prospecting the areas where these signs, symbols, and marks were documented, and perhaps an examination of these occurrences can help you in some future quest of a similar nature. What You Will Find in This Book: * Pictures, not just drawings, of REAL treasure signs, symbols, and marks, including several never-before released stone maps * Advice for how to use treasure signs, symbols, and marks for yourself * Examples of certain site set ups, and analysis of several famous "big" treasure legends * Web links to numerous treasure tales and resources, including GPS starting points

Coronado's Children
Author: J. Frank Dobie
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292789408
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
“This is the best work ever written on hidden treasure, and one of the most fascinating books on any subject to come out of Texas.” —Basic Texas Books Written in 1930, Coronado’s Children was one of J. Frank Dobie’s first books, and the one that helped gain him national prominence as a folklorist. In it, he recounts the tales and legends of those hardy souls who searched for buried treasure in the Southwest following in the footsteps of that earlier gold seeker, the Spaniard Coronado. “These people,” Dobie writes in his introduction, “no matter what language they speak, are truly Coronado’s inheritors . . . I have called them Coronado’s children. They follow Spanish trails, buffalo trails, cow trails, they dig where there are no trails; but oftener than they dig or prospect they just sit and tell stories of lost mines, of buried bullion by the jack load . . .” This is the tale-spinning Dobie at his best, dealing with subjects as irresistible as ghost stories and haunted houses. “As entrancing a volume as one is likely to pick up in a month of Sundays.” —The New York Times “Dobie has discovered for us a native Arabian Night.” —Chicago Evening Post

The Triumph of the Symbol
Author: Tallay Ornan
Publisher: Saint-Paul
ISBN: 9783525530078
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
This book analyzes the history of Mesopotamian imagery form the mid-second to mid-first millennium BCE. It demonstrates that in spite of rich textual evidence, which grants the Mesopotamian gods and goddesses an anthropmorphic form, there was a clear abstention in various media from visualizing the gods in such a form. True, divine human-shaped cultic images existed in Mesopotamian temples. But as a rule, non-anthropomorphic visual agents such as inanimate objects, animals or fantastic hybrids replaced these figures when they were portrayed outside of their sacred enclosures. This tendency reached its peak in first-millennium Babylonia and Assyria. The removal of the Mesopotamian human-shaped deity from pictorial renderings resembles the Biblical agenda not only in its avoidance of displaying a divine image but also in the implied dual perception of the divine: according to the Bible and the Assyro-Babylonian concept the divine was conceived as having a human form; yet in both cases anthropomorphism was also concealed or rejected, though to a different degree. In the present book, this dual approach toward the divine image is considered as a reflection of two associated rather than contradictory religious worldviews. The plausible consolidation of the relevant Biblical accounts just before the Babylonian Exile, or more probably within the Exile - in both cases during a period of strong Assyrian and Babylonian hegemony - points to a direct correspondence between comparable religious phenomena. It is suggested that far from their homeland and in the absence of a temple for their god, the Judahite deportees adopted and intensified the Mesopotamian avoidance of anthropomorphic picorial portrayals of deities. While the Babylonian representations remained confined to temples, the exiles would have turned a cultic reality - i.e., the nonwritten Babylonian custom - into a written, articulated law that explicity forbade the pictorial representation of God.
