Описание: In 1798, young French general Napoleon Bonaparte entered Egypt with a veteran army and a specialist group of savants--scientists, engineers, and artists--his aim being not just conquest, but the rediscovery of the lost Nile kingdom. A year later, in the ruins of an old fort in the small port of Rosetta, the savants made a startling discovery: a large, flat stone, inscribed in Greek, demotic Egyptian, and ancient hieroglyphics. This was the Rosetta Stone, key to the two-thousand-year mystery of hieroglyphs, and to Egypt itself. Two years later, French forces retreated before the English and Ottoman armies, but would not give up the stone. Caught between the opposing generals at the siege of Alexandria, British special agents went in to find the Rosetta Stone, rescue the French savants, and secure a fragile peace treaty. Discovery at Rosetta uses French, Egyptian, and English eyewitness accounts to tell the complete story of the discovery, decipherment, and capture of the Rosetta Stone, investigating the rivalries and politics of the time, and the fate of the stone today.

Описание: "In the late afternoon light McAllister squinted in the direction of the wreck site several kilometers away, imagining he could see the large yellow buoy they'd laid only the day before, as a marker for the heavy mooring that would anchor the barge when it arrived. The Peruvian crew had been buzzing with excitement, and the anticipation of the next stage in the story of the Santa Lucia de Alcantara was almost intoxicating. Just yesterday, he thought. He wondered at how the safe, academic bubble of his archaeological life had been overtaken by this juggernaut. Global geo-politics were as febrile as they'd ever been since the Cold War, the flames fanned lustily by social media. Russians in Crimea and threatening eastern Europe, the Chinese militarizing the South China Sea, with North Korea and Iran stubbornly nursing their nuclear ambitions - and stampeding into this hair-triggered mix comes Rosetta." Dr. Philip McAllister, senior marine archaeologist at the British Museum, is leading the project to raise a 16th Century Spanish treasure ship from the ocean floor off Lima, Peru. But just before he returns to Peru for the final stages of the excavation, he finds himself accosted by shadowy elements of the British secret services, who accuse him of cyber-terrorism, while curious Russians have also been lurking near his home. Meanwhile, a Californian artificial intelligence expert seems to have lost control of his most advanced creation, which he'd hired out to a Japanese investment banker to fraudulently manipulate the international financial markets. All of these disparate events are on a violent collision course that will endanger the lives of everyone involved, and ultimately threaten the very foundations of modern existence Is the juggernaut unstoppable? Is native human ingenuity irrelevant, or is it now the only way ahead?

Описание: The Rosetta Stone remains one of the world's most recognizable ancient artifacts, and has come to symbolize not only Egypt, but also the art of translation. Dating from the Macedonian Ptolemaic era in Egypt (ca 196 BC), the Rosetta Stone contains a royal decree by King Ptolemy V, set out in three languages: in hieroglyphic (suitable for a priestly decree), demotic (the native script used for daily purposes), and Greek (the language of the administration). By the fourth century AD, all knowledge and understanding of hieroglyphs had been lost by the mixed-race population, and it was only some 1400 years later, after the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, that scholars were able to use the Greek inscription on the stone as the deciphering key. Thomas Young, an English physicist, was the first to show that some of the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone wrote the sounds of a royal name, that of Ptolemy. The French scholar Jean-Fran ois Champollion then realized that hieroglyphs recorded the sound of the Egyptian language and laid the foundations of our knowledge of ancient Egyptian language and culture. In this work, EA Wallis Budge, perhaps the British Museum's most famous Egyptian section curator of all time, tells the story of the stone and exactly how it was eventually deciphered. Starting with the events surrounding the stone's discovery-by French forces under Napoleon Bonaparte-and its capture by the British army and its transportation to London, Budge then discusses the slow process through which the hieroglyphic part of the stone was eventually deciphered. The majority of the booklet is given over to a graphic explanation of the logical process used to translate the Rosetta Stone, and how, by cross-referencing it with the Coptic language and by using other clues the mystery of the ancient Egyptian's written language was eventually unlocked. Finally, Budge provides a fascinating transcript of what the Rosetta Stone actually says.

These picturesque areas have a rich history of beautiful desserts, many of them tied to holidays and festivals.

And the Sicilian chilled watermelon pudding Gelo di Mellone is a refreshing dish served in summer for the festival of Palermo's patron saint, Rosalia. Other desserts such as persimmon gelato, chocolate-dipped figs stuffed with almonds and candied orange peel, and chocolate-hazelnut cake rolls celebrate Southern Italy's local bounty and traditional foods. With recipes for more familiar Italian desserts such as cannoli and gelato, as well as deliciously obscure sweets such as rich cassatas, almond-flecked cookies, and flaky cream-filled sfogliatelle pastries, Southern Italian Desserts features a treat for every occasion.
