Robert Temple Bücher

In der verlorenen Welt der Urgeschichte wird ein Mädchen geboren. Ist sie eine Göttin? Cija selbst glaubt, dass sie es ist. 17 Jahre lang hat ihre Mutter, die Diktatorin, sie in einem Turm gefangen gehalten. Sie befreit sie mit einem Ziel: Zerd, den schuppenbedeckten "Drachen-General" einer besetzenden Armee, zu verführen und ihn dann zu töten. Durch die Wälder der schleudernden Fouls, unter den Reptilienvögeln, in Ländern, wo halb-menschliche Hybriden als Haustiere gehalten werden, reist Cija mit der Nordarmee. In der großen, bösartigen Stadt des Südens schmiedet Zerd Pläne mit den Südländern, um den fabelhaften Kontinent Atlan, mitten im Atlantischen Ozean, anzugreifen. Cija entkommt und wird verfolgt. Sie findet einen Liebhaber; es gibt Kämpfe zwischen den Nord- und Südarmeen; sie erleidet Vergewaltigung durch zwei sehr unterschiedliche Männer... Diese fantastische Geschichte von Liebe, Eifersucht und plötzlichem Tod ist einzigartig und fesselt die Vorstellungskraft von Anfang bis Ende.

Robert Temples faszinierendes Buch sollte von all denen gelesen werden, die ein Interesse an der Geschichte der Wissenschaft haben, denn es kann auf diesem Gebiet gut und gerne zu einer Revolution führen. Sir Arthur C. Clarke Eine verlorengegangene Technologie des Altertums wiederentdeckt Robert Temple rekonstruiert in diesem Buch eine vollkommen vergessene Geschichte: die Geschichte der Licht-Technologie in antiken Zivilisationen. Sie datiert mindestens bis ins Jahr 2600 v. Chr. ins Alte Königreich von Ägypten zurück. Waren die alten Ägypter im Besitz eines Wissens und einer Technologie der Optik, die es ihnen ermöglichte, Teleskope zu bauen? Wie waren sie imstande, in den Bau der Pyramiden alle astronomischen Maße des Sonnensystems einfließen zu lassen - mit einer Genauigkeit, die ihresgleichen sucht? Wie kommen perfekt geschliffene optische Linsen, wie sie zur Herstellung von Teleskopen verwendet werden, in die Gräber und Kultstätten von Pharaonen und anderen Herrschern des Altertums? Und warum weigern sich die Ägyptologen, diese Linsen als das anzuerkennen was sie sind, und bezeichnen sie als Schmucksteine und Grabbeigaben.? Robert Temples neuestes Werk ist eine der revolutionärsten Studien auf dem Gebiet der Archäologie und Altertumsforschung. Es stellt alle Verfechter des bisherigen Geschichtsbildes vor eine große Herausforderung, der sich bisher nur sehr wenige gestellt haben.

"I knew it was a book I needed to read" - VIVIENNE WESTWOOD. "His book explains complex scientific theory in a graspable way" - LILY ASHLEY. "This book is an important contribution... discussions of David Bohm, bioplasma, biophotons, and bioelectronics" - PROFESSOR ZBIGNIEW WOLKOWSKI, Sorbonne University, Paris. This work answers numerous scientific and esoteric questions about our reality, promising to revolutionize our understanding. It delves into the science of plasma, a fourth state of matter that underpins the other three: gas, liquid, and solid. Despite its significance, plasma has remained largely overlooked in popular science narratives, which have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. Over 99% of the universe is composed of plasma, including two recently discovered Kordylewski Clouds between Earth and the Moon. The book reveals that plasma can exhibit characteristics resembling intelligence, potentially reshaping our search for extraterrestrial life. Bestselling author Robert Temple, who has studied plasma for decades and collaborated with leading scientists, including Nobel laureates, brings this fascinating subject to light. His insights may change how we perceive the universe and our place within it, igniting new discussions and explorations in science.

This collection features 203 of Aesop’s most enduring and popular fables, translated into modern English and illustrated with classic woodcuts by the renowned artist J. J. Grandville. Aesop, a Greek slave who lived over two thousand years ago, has left an indelible mark on language and moral education. Phrases like “sour grapes,” “crying ‘wolf,’” and “actions speak louder than words” are just a few examples of the metaphors and ideas that have become integral to Western culture, all originating from Aesop’s Fables. As an extraordinary storyteller, Aesop used cunning foxes, surly dogs, clever mice, fearsome lions, and foolish humans to depict the realities of a harsh world. His narratives are appealing, humorous, politically astute, and profoundly true. The morals of his stories continue to resonate, affecting us both intellectually and emotionally. This collection includes beloved fables such as “The Fox and the Grapes,” “The Ants and the Grasshopper,” and “The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse,” among many others.

We tend to think of ancient stories of visits to the Underworld - by, for example, Odysseus, Orpheus and Aeneas - as being poetic fictions, but in fact in the ancient world the Underworld was believed to be real place that actually existed. Unfortunately, this entrance to the Underworld was lost in the Dark Ages, and hasn't been rediscovered since - or at least until the 1960s. Recently Robert Temple heard a rumour that an archaeological expedition in 1962 HAD actually rediscovered the entrance near Baiia in Italy, but that the Italian authorities had forbidden exploration. While lobbying to be allowed to excavate, he researched all the classical sources relating to the Underworld and began to piece together what actually happened on these visits to the underworld - how waters in the ritual bathing that preceded entry would be full of hallucinogenic drugs, how a system of trap doors would be used to fake supernatural happenings and how the priests would quiz you as to what you'd experienced when you re-emerged - and if you didn't believe in it, they'd kill you! Netherworld is the extraordinary story of what Temple discovered when he did eventually get permission to make his own descent into the Underworld - including the river Styx, the false doors, the snake pit and carved invocations to the Goddess of the Underworld, all seen here for the first time since ancient civilization.

Composed by a slave in Greek antiquity, some of the most ancient, sharp-witted and mysterious stories ever told.
