The Renaissance dictum ad fontes, or "(return) to the sources!" expressed the desire to bypass medieval textbook-like summaries of ancient writings for reading the actual texts, ideally in their original languages. In reading ancient writings, Renaissance humanists of the 14th to the 16th centuries believed they experienced a purer version of the classical and Christian past. They "returned to the sources" by uncovering little-known manuscripts from ancient monasteries, edited these texts for a wider readership, debated their meanings, and sought to apply the things they learned to their public lives. They referred to these literary endeavors as keeping to "the footprints of the ancients." The present book seeks to channel this humanistic spirit and apply it to the sources of world history from the earliest written records up to the 16th century C.E.

Explore pilgrimage routes, epigraphy, and the history of writing with an expert guide From the late 1970s through 1982, Michael E. Stone conducted a number of expeditions to the Sinai peninsula, searching for ancient inscriptions. In this book Stone describes his search, crowned by the discovery of the most ancient Armenian inscriptions known. Here Stone describes not only the inscriptions discovered along his journeys but also the Sinai, its past and present, its human inhabitants, its flora and fauna, and its history. Though once common, well-informed travel books to the Middle East with a broad academic interest and a specific focus have become rare. Stone’s diary of his expeditions in the Sinai fill this gap with vivid descriptions, poetry, and illustrations. Features An account of five expeditions into the Sinai Thirteen poems written by Stone Twenty-six figures and five maps

First Footprints tells the extraordinary story of the Aboriginal people of Australia. How they made their way out of Africa 60,000 years ago, and how they survived across this vast continent, from the harsh deserts of the inland to the glaciers of southern Tasmania. With photos from the ABC TV series of the same name. Some 60,000 years ago, a small group of people landed on Australia's northern coast. They were the first oceanic mariners and this great southern land was their new home. Gigantic mammals roamed the plains and enormous crocodiles, giant snakes and goannas nestled in the estuaries and savannahs. First Footprints tells the epic story of Australia's Aboriginal people. It is a story of ancient life on the driest continent on earth through the greatest environmental changes experienced in human history: ice ages, extreme drought and inundating seas. It is chronicled through astonishing archaeological discoveries, ancient oral histories and the largest and oldest art galleries on earth. Australia's first inhabitants were the first people to believe in an afterlife, cremate their dead, engrave representations of the human face, and depict human sound and emotion. They created new technologies, designed ornamentation, engaged in trade, and crafted the earliest documents of war. Ultimately, they developed a sustainable society based on shared religious tradition and far-reaching social networks across the length and breadth of Australia.

Footprints in Parchment Rome Versus Christianity 30-313 AD masterfully tackles the question: How did a group of Christians with no homeland and no standing army defeat the juggernaut of ancient Rome? Using hundreds of first-hand accounts of events, Silver guides the reader through the rise and the reach of Imperial Rome to its eventual ruin and rescue by the infant Christian Church. Over a three hundred year period Rome killed tens of thousands of Christians in an attempt to eradicate this new religion that it correctly intuited would bring Rome to its knees. Tertullian had said in the early 200's, "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church." Why did Rome kill all those people just because they believed in a Jewish carpenter from an obscure part of her Empire and why did so many Christians willingly die? The martyrs died for the religious freedom to publicly say the words "Christianus sum." "I am a Christian." They won that right. Rome Versus Christianity leads the reader down the road of Rome's decline and Christianity's rise. There are many fascinating sights along the way.

This book is the result of more than 53 years of research which includes the many field studies and observations that we have done throughout the years that were conducted in the Lower Colorado River Basin Valleys and in Mexico.This book is centered in the area of Blythe, CA in the Palo Verde/Parker Valleys. The unique research that is presented in this book opens a Pandora's Box of unknown history that remained lost for centuries. Most of the work is based on the sacred images that are in the surrounding mountains which provide a majestic view seen from our home located in the ancient Barrio de Acacitli, today's Barrio de El Cuchillo.The Xicano MOvement has motivated the foundation of this book and provided the vision for the social activists that gave birth to the ideals that fueled the Xicano Movement to its height. This in-depth research brings forth the truth of the Azteca/Mexica place of origin of Aztlan and of our forefathers, Moctezuma and Cuauhtémoc. Our participation in the Xicano Movement and the search for the truth of the origin of our Indigenous roots has been more than just a hobby or fad. It has been our way of life.Our research was conducted within the Lower Colorado River Basin Valleys and is based on the sacred mountain images, sacred ancient trails, landmarks, pictographs, petroglyphs, intaglios/geoglyphs, solstices and equinoxes. These overwhelmingly geographical and cosmological connections cannot be denied. Our research is also based on the Native oral language, traditional songs, and history of the Lower Colorado River Basin Valleys.We have called the area of the Palo Verde/Parker Valleys "La Cuna de Aztlan" because the old Island of Aztlan was located in the Colorado River Indian Tribes Reservation (CRIT) as shown in the Boturini codex.

When we think of the "First Americans" we generally tend to think of the American Indian. After all, there is no doubt that the Indian has lived in North America for thousands of years, descended from those original explorers who trekked across the Bering land bridge. At least this is what we are taught in school. But is this entirely correct? Were there others that came perhaps before and during the original population of North and South America by those that would later be called "Native Americans"? Were there others that embarked on expeditions to the mysterious lands to the west (or east) that brought not only trade goods but knowledge and ideas of other religions, cultures and oral traditions?

THE PERFECT READ FOR TROUBLED TIMES From the bestselling author of The Story of the British Isles in 100 Places comes this inspiring and beautifully written meditation on the wisdom inherited from our ancestors. For all we have gained in the modern world, simple peace of mind is hard to find. In a time that is increasingly fraught with complexity and conflict, we are told that our wellbeing relies on remaining as present as possible. But what if the key to being present lies in the past? In Wisdom of the Ancients, Neil Oliver takes us back in time, to grab hold of the ideas buried in forgotten cultures and early civilizations. From Laetoli footprints in Tanzania to Keralan rituals, stone circles and cave paintings, Oliver takes us on a global journey through antiquity. A master storyteller, drawing on immense knowledge of our ancient past, he distils this wisdom into twelve messages that have endured the test of time, and invites us to consider how these might apply to our lives today. The result is powerful and inspirational, moving and profound.
