Taylor & Francis Egyptian Solar Religion
Book SynopsisRevised and expanded, this volume deals with the religious traditions of ancient Egypt, which have come down to us in a state which is both extremely fragmentary and complex. New material - especially hymns collected in Theban tombs - now allows a much more precise allocation of religious texts and ideas in terms of time, place and social context. Within the field of solar religion, no less than five different traditions have to be distinguished: 1) the liturgical traditions of the royal solar cult, which for their secrecy and exclusivity are labelled the mysteries of the sun cult; 2) the traditional mythology of the solar course expressed in hymns and pictorial representations; 3) the revolutionary process culminating in the Amarna period, which discards the mythic images and gives a monotheistic construction of the solar course, a process which starts before Akhenaten''s revolution; 4) the theology of Amun-Re, the God of Thebes, before the Amarna Period, a theology of primacy where oTable of ContentsPart 1 The mysteries of the sun cult: preliminary considerations. acting. knowing.

Taylor & Francis The Lost Beliefs of Northern Europe
Book SynopsisFragments of ancient belief mingle with folklore and Christian dogma until the original tenets are lost in the myths and psychologies of the intervening years. Hilda Ellis Davidson illustrates how pagan beliefs have been represented and misinterpreted by the Christian tradition, and throws light on the nature of pre-Christian beliefs and how they have been preserved. The Lost Beliefs of Northern Europe stresses both the possibilities and the difficulties of investigating the lost religious beliefs of Northern Europe.Table of ContentsList of Figures, Introduction, 1 HELP FROM ARCHAEOLOGY, 2 GLIMPSES OF THE GODS, 3 THE GODS IN THE MYTHS, 4 THE CULTS OF THE NORTHERN GODS, 5 GODDESSES AND GUARDIAN SPIRITS, 6 CONTACTS WITH THE OTHERWORLD, 7 THE INTERPRETERS, Conclusion, Bibliography, Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Interpreting the Landscape
Book SynopsisMost places in Britain have had a local history written about them. Up until this century these histories have addressed more parochial issues, such as the life of the manor, rather than explaining the features and changes in the landscape in a factual manner. Much of what is visible today in Britain''s landscape is the result of a chain of social and natural processes, and can be interpreted through fieldwork as well as from old maps and documents.Michael Aston uses a wide range of source material to study the complex and dynamic history of the countryside, illustrating his points with aerial photographs, maps, plans and charts. He shows how to understand the surviving remains as well as offering his own explanations for how our landscape has evolved.Trade Review'...an interesting and stimulating account' - - Current Archaeology'...this is a book written to engage the interest of a wide readership, and it deserves to succeed' - - Antiquaries Journal'...an attractively presented and profusely illustrated book' - - Landscape Research'... a fascinating and lavishly-illustrated account' - 3rd Stone'[Aston] succeeds in putting over a series of potentially complex concepts in a straight-forward manner. The numerous illustrations and wealth of aerial photography enhance the text superbly.' - The Ley HunterTable of ContentsChapter 1 How do we know what we know?; Chapter 2 Early landscapes; Chapter 3 Estates and boundaries; Chapter 4 Status in the landscape; Chapter 5 Deserted villages and offer; Chapter 6 Surviving villages; Chapter 7 Farms and hamlets; Chapter 8 Sites and patterns; Chapter 9 Land uses; Chapter 10 Field systems; Chapter 11 Communications — the links between; Chapter 12 What does It all mean?;
