Book Description
Egypt is an archeologist’s delight, a tourist’s dream vacation, a sculptor’s pilgrimage location and a philosopher’s learning destination. This is due to the country’s extraordinary, ancient civilization that poses more questions than answers to today’s scientists, researchers and intelligentsia. There are many secrets and mysteries surrounding ancient Egypt – the life of the pharaohs, construction of megastructures like the pyramids and the Sphinx, their gods, temples and rituals, arts, occult sciences and hieroglyphs and concepts of mummification and afterlife. All these subjects have been discussed in detail and made interesting to absorb the interest of readers. This book also briefly covers the history of Egypt from 2500 BC to the Greek, Roman and Arab conquests of Egypt till 646 AD. During the research that was done for the book, the author discovered a lot of similarities between the contemporaneous Egyptian and Indian civilizations, and they have been succinctly brought out. Many people around the world have heard about the greatness of ancient Egypt but lack the in-depth knowledge about what exactly transpired in that era. The Egyptian civilization that lasted for nearly three millennia is unparalleled in the annals of world history in terms of their exceptional advancement and unique culture. This book is a sincere attempt to demystify Egypt for the layman, and showcases the entire ancient Egyptian history along with its secret mysteries for readers. I assure you that this book will be a great learning and revealing experience.

Book Description
In Nicholas Meyer's The Return of the Pharaoh, Sherlock Holmes returns in an adventure that takes him to Egypt in search of a missing nobleman, a previously undiscovered pharaoh's tomb, and a conspiracy that threatens his very life. With his international bestseller, The Seven Per Cent Solution, Nicholas Meyer brought to light a previously unpublished case of Sherlock Holmes that reinvigorated the world's interest in the first consulting detective. Now, many years later, Meyer is given exclusive access to Dr. Watson's unpublished journal, wherein he details a previously unknown case. In 1910, Dr. John Watson travels to Egypt with his wife Juliet. Her tuberculosis has returned and her doctor recommends a stay at a sanitarium in a dry climate. But while his wife undergoes treatment, Dr. Watson bumps into an old friend--Sherlock Holmes, in disguise and on a case. An English Duke with a penchant for egyptology has disappeared, leading to enquiries from his wife and the Home Office. Holmes has discovered that the missing duke has indeed vanished from his lavish rooms in Cairo and that he was on the trail of a previous undiscovered and unopened tomb. And that he's only the latest Egyptologist to die or disappear under odd circumstances. With the help of Howard Carter, Holmes and Watson are on the trail of something much bigger, more important, and more sinister than an errant lord.

Return to Meaning
Author: Andrew Cort
Publisher: Andrew Cort
ISBN: 143821409X
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 559
Book Description
If God exists, and God is all powerful and good, why did God create an imperfect world? Does religion have a credible answer? Morality, as secularists know, does not require a deity. Blind faith, as atheists know, often leads to hatred and war. Taking scriptural stories as literal history, as scientists know, borders on the nonsensical. There has to be more. And there is. In their most important sense, these are symbolic psychological stories. Everything that happens - the wars, the joys, the obstacles that are overcome - must occur in one's own soul. In other words, all the great myths and scriptures are how-to manuals for Initiation. In this groundbreaking work, Andrew Cort describes the inner journey of Creation and Return that is revealed by the Greek Myths, the Torah, the Gospels and the Qur'an. He demonstrates the stunning unity of our western religious traditions, whose common aim is to enlighten the soul and restore a sense of meaning to our lives and culture.
