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: Long before women in rock became a media catchphrase, African American guitar virtuoso Rosetta Tharpe proved in spectacular fashion that women could rock. Born in Cotton Plant, Arkansas, in 1915, Tharpe was gospel's first superstar and the preeminent crossover figure of its golden age (1945-1965). Shout, Sister, Shout is the first biography of this trailblazing performer who influenced scores of popular musicians, from Elvis Presley and Little Richard to Eric Clapton and Etta James. Tharpe was raised in the Pentecostal Church, steeped in the gospel tradition, but she produced music that crossed boundaries, defied classification, and disregarded the social and cultural norms of the age; incorporating elements of gospel, blues, jazz, popular ballads, folk, country, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll. Tharpe went electric early on, captivating both white and black audiences in the North and South, in the U.S. and internationally, with her charisma and skill. People who saw her perform claimed she made that guitar talk. Ambitious, flamboyant, and relentlessly public, Tharpe even staged her own wedding as a gospel concert-in a stadium holding 20,000 people Wald's eye-opening biography, which draws on the memories of more than a hundred people who knew or worked with Tharpe, introduces us to this vibrant, essential, yet nearly forgotten musical heavyweight whose long career helped define gospel, r&b, and rock music. A performer who resisted categorization at many levels-as a gospel musician, a woman, and an African American-Tharpe demands that we rethink our most basic notions of music history and American culture. Her story forever alters our understanding of both women in rock and U.S. popular music. SHOUT, SISTER, SHOUT The Untold Story of Rock-and-Roll Trailblazer Sister Rosetta Tharpe By Gayle F.

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.

Название: Indus Script Deciphered: Rosetta Stones, Mlecchita Vilalpa, `Meluhha Cipher` ISBN: 0991104846 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780991104840 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 14650.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: A brief overview on 6 rosetta stones & the method of Indus Script decipherment. The cipher is rebus-metonymy layered Meluhha (mleccha speech). Signs and pictorials are hieroglyph multiplexes of Indian sprachbund of Bronze Age Ancient Near East. The language of the writing system is Prakritam. Indus Script Corpora surveyed as catalogus catalogorum of metalwork include c. 7000 inscriptions along the Maritime Tin Road from Hanoi, Vietnam to Haifa, Israel. Meluhha people who created the Sheffield of Ancient Near East in Chanhu-daro, invented and used writing in the River Valleys of Sarasvati, Indus(Sindhu) rivers and Indo-Iran borderlands.An ancient document Rigveda refers to these people as Bharatam Janam who lived on the banks of Rivers Sarasvati and Sindhu. They mediated the maritime trade of tin from the Tin Belt of the world in Ancient Far East. Meluhha settlements are attested in cuneiform texts. A cylinder seal of Shu-ilishu points to an Akkadian translator needed to transact with the Meluhhan seafaring merchant. The discovery of two pure tin ingots in a shipwreck in Haifa points to the links with the Nahal Mishmar cire perdue artifacts. The continuum of the writing system is evident on hundreds of hieroglyphs of the Indus Script which continue to signify metalwork on early punch-marked coins with Kharoshti and Brahmi syllabic scripts used conjointly. Inscriptions signify metalwork catalogues on copper plates. Such inscriptions point to the possibility of printing such copper plates on tree-barks or other media for dissemination of artisans' messages. The unique hypertext formats of Indus Script Corpora provide a framework for improved cyber security and advanced encryption systems with multi-layered hieroglyph multiplexes. Successful decipherment points to the need for re-evaluating the formation and evolution of Ancient Indian languages. Austro-asiatic, Indo-Aryan and Dravidian speakers seem to have formed an Indian sprachbund (speech union) during the early Bronze Age as evidenced by the many metalwork glosses present in all these language streams. The presence of Sivalinga in Harappa and of over 80% of the archaeological settlements on the banks of Vedic River Sarasvati, the tradition of wearing sindhur (vermilion) at the parting of the hair by married women, wearing turbinella pyrum (sankha) bangles, persons seated in penance yoga postures attest to the continuum of Sarasvati-Sindhu Civilization into the historical periods of ancient India. What Geoerge Coedes calls in his work Histoire ancienne des tats hindouises d'Extr me Orient,1944 is an attestation of the dharma-dhamma as the founding principles of state formation in India and in the Far East. Further researchers into the Maritime Tin Road from Hanoi, Vietnam exemplified by Dong Son Bronze Drums and the 3rd millennium BCE Bronze Age site of Bon Chiang will be significant contributions to archaeometallurgical studies to further evaluate the nature of the tin-bronze revolution achieved from 3rd millennium BCE. The contours of the Indian sprachbund (speech union) have to be further outlined by comparative and historical studies in Indo-European linguistics and Chandas of Vedic times in relation to mleccha (meluhha) speech or vaak. The presence of ancu of Tocharian as a cognate of ams'u (synonym of Soma) in Rigveda points to the oral transmissions of knowledge systems and Vedic heritage across Eurasia. The narrative of Soma has not yet been fully told; it is clear that Soma is in nuce in the ancient human document, the Rigveda. A tree associated with smelter and linga from Bhuteshwar, Mathura Museum. Architectural fragment with relief showing winged dwarfs (or gaNa) worshipping with flower garlands, Siva Linga. Bhuteshwar, ca. 2nd cent BCE.
