Sarah: Sarah: Book One of the Canaan Trilogy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 575min
The first novel in a dazzling new trilogy about the women of the Old Testament by internationally best-selling author Marek Halter. The story of Sarah - and of history itself - begins in the cradle of civilization: the Sumerian city-state of Ur, a land of desert heat, towering gardens, and immense wealth. The daughter of a powerful lord, Sarah is raised in great luxury, but balks at the arranged marriage her father has planned for her. The groom is handsome and a nobleman, but on their wedding day, Sarah panics and impulsively flees to the vast, empty marshes outside the city walls. There she meets a young man, Abram, a member of a nomadic tribe of outsiders. Drawn to this exotic stranger, Sarah spends the night with him, but reluctantly returns to her father's house. But on her return, still desperate to avoid another wedding, she drinks a poisonous potion that will make her barren and thus unfit for marriage. Many years later, Abram's people return to Ur, and he discovers that the lost, rebellious girl from the marsh has been transformed into the most splendid and revered woman in Sumeria - the high priestess of the goddess Ishtar. But the memory of their night together has always haunted Sarah, and she gives up her exalted life to join Abram's tribe and follow the one true God, an invisible deity who speaks only to Abram. It is then that her journey truly begins - a journey that holds the key to her remarkable destiny as the mother of nations.From the great ziggurat of Ishtar and the fertile valleys of Canaan to the bedchamber of the mighty Pharaoh himself, Sarah's story reveals an ancient world full of beauty, intrigue, and miracles. ungekürzt.

History and Religion in Ancient Egypt Collection: Ancient Egyptian Legends, The Religions of Ancient Egypt and Babylonia, Papyrus of Ani, & The Ancient History of the Near East , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2453min
Three of the world’s great religions originated in the Middle East: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Before that, religion in ancient Babylonia and Egypt had a history of thousands of years. In Egypt, religious practice centered on the pharaohs who acted as intermediaries between their people and the gods. They were obligated to sustain the deities through rituals and offerings so that they could maintain Ma'at, the order of the cosmos. The state dedicated enormous resources to maintaining religious rituals and to the construction of temples. The History and Religion in Ancient Egypt Collection consists of: Book one: Legends of Ancient Egypt, by Margaret Alice Murray (1863-1963), an archaeologist, anthropologist, Egyptologist, and historian and the first woman to serve as a lecturer in archaeology in Britain. The book contains 11 stories based on ancient Egyptian legends. Each legend is stylistically adapted to English but in a way that sticks close to the original. They include "The Princess and the Demon", "The King's Dream", "The Coming of the Great Queen", "The Book of Thoth", "The Legend of Osiris", and "The Scorpions of Isis". Book two: The Religions of Ancient Egypt and Babylonia (1903) consists of Egyptian religion in part one, including discussions of the sun god, the Ennead, Osiris, and the journey of the soul. Part two deals with animism and the beliefs of Sumeria, Babylonia, and Assyria. The book comprises the Gifford lectures on the ancient Egyptian and Babylonian conception of the divine. Book three: The Papyrus of Ani is a papyrus manuscript created c. 1250 BCE, in the 19th dynasty of the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt. The introduction by E.A. Wallis Budge is followed by reproductions of the Egyptian hieroglyphs, an interlinear transliteration of their sounds, a word-for-word translation, and a smooth translation.

Forbidden Knowledge: Aliens, Templars and Sacred Monoliths , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 177min
Forbidden Knowledge: Aliens, Templars and Sacred Monoliths: Throughout millennia, the ruling elite have obtained and hidden from the masses the vast ancient knowledge and technology given to man by the gods. While forcing the populace to obey and believe a repressive doctrine, they themselves pursue an agenda of total dominion upon the planet for reasons beyond that of conquest and the material, but for sinister motives that affect all of mankind. Secret of the Holy Grail: The Holy Grail has been linked to the mysterious family known as the Merovingians who are said to be a dynasty of priest-kings with magical powers. Some experts think that the Merovingians were descended from an ancient race of fallen angels that spanned the globe, taking wisdom and knowledge with them as Atlantis sank. But these Merovingians also held a dark secret and the true ruling power on Earth. Ancient Alien Origins: The true gods gave rise to the great powers of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and more. They spread outwards around the world and were the genesis of a very real holy bloodline that remains with us today. They were also known as "the watchers," those who came to Earth as beings of light to teach and guide mankind. The aliens left Earth millennia ago but the signs are growing daily that the prophecy of their return is imminent. Secret Societies and Sacred Stones: From the origin of ritualized worship in Sumeria and Egypt, to secret societies such as the Knights Templar and the Illuminati, ancient stones and objects have been idolized and used in secret ceremonies unknown to the outside world; used to hold power over the souls of others; and have even been fashioned into beautiful gems and artifacts; and yet, they remain a mystery. ungekürzt.

To the Best of Our Knowledge: Into the Woods, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min
In this hour, biologist and professor at the University of the South, David George Haskell set himself an unusual task for one year: to examine a one-square-meter patch of biologically diverse old-growth Tennessee forest nearly every day and record his observations. He writes about his experiment in contemplative science in a book of essays: The Forest Unseen: A Year's Watch in Nature. Biologist E.O. Wilson says the book represents "a new genre of nature writing, located between science and poetry." Next, what does it mean to be an ecological steward of your own land? Stephen Long and his wife live on 95 wooded acres in Central Vermont. He is also the founder of Northern Woodlands Magazine and the author of More Than a Woodlot. He takes us for a walk in his woods, revealing how much there is to notice, and to care for. Then, noted nature writer Terry Tempest Williams is one of this country's most ardent advocates for the preservation of wild places. She also knows from first-hand experience that wild woods can be dangerous, if visited with the wrong person. In her new book of essays, When Women Were Birds, she tells the story of the day she narrowly escaped a brutal attack, while hiking in Idaho's Sawtooth Wilderness. After that, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Red Riding Hood... fairy tales are full of stories that take place in enchanted forests. And sacred woods and trees figure strongly in mythic traditions, from the British Isles to the Norselands to ancient Sumeria. Marina Warner writes about art, symbolism, myth and fairy tales. She explores the many meanings of forests in the human imagination.Finally, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's landmark musical, Into the Woods celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Sondheim looks back over its history and we hear musical selections. [Broadcast Date: April 17, 2013] Language: English. Narrator: Jim Fleming.

Cataloging the World: Paul Otlet and the Birth of the Information Age , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 527min
The dream of capturing and organizing knowledge is as old as history. From the archives of ancient Sumeria and the Library of Alexandria to the Library of Congress and Wikipedia, humanity has wrestled with the problem of harnessing its intellectual output. The timeless quest for wisdom has been as much about information storage and retrieval as creative genius. In Cataloging the World, Alex Wright introduces us to a figure who stands out in the long line of thinkers and idealists who devoted themselves to the task. Beginning in the late 19th century, Paul Otlet, a librarian by training, worked at expanding the potential of the catalog card, the world's first information chip. From there followed universal libraries and museums, connecting his native Belgium to the world by means of a vast intellectual enterprise that attempted to organize and code everything ever published. Forty years before the first personal computer and fifty years before the first browser, Otlet envisioned a network of "electric telescopes" that would allow people everywhere to search through books, newspapers, photographs, and recordings, all linked together in what he termed, in 1934, a reseau mondial essentially, a worldwide web. Otlet's life achievement was the construction of the Mundaneum, a mechanical collective brain that would house and disseminate everything ever committed to paper. Filled with analog machines such as telegraphs and sorters, the Mundaneum, what some have called a "Steampunk version of hypertext" was the embodiment of Otlet's ambitions. It was also shortlived. By the time the Nazis, who were pilfering libraries across Europe to collect information they thought useful, carted away Otlet's collection in 1940, the dream had ended. Broken, Otlet died in 1944.Wright's engaging intellectual history gives Otlet his due, restoring him to his proper place in the long continuum of visionaries and pioneers who have struggled to classify knowledge. ungekürzt.

The Keepers: A New World, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 204min
The natural course our planet Earth has taken is in sheer and utter devastation. Global warming has awakened with full force and over half of the population is in third world poverty or dead already. Lucky for some of us our one world government, known as Grendel had a secret plan. They had discovered years prior of a habitable sister planet in our galaxy that they called Genesis. In the last days before Earths final destruction Grendel allowed a few hundred of us to board the shuttle and begin our journey to repopulate and thrive on Genesis. Everything went according to plan and I was grateful to have my family included in that plan. Life was good on Genesis, just like the government had promised. Years of growth and construction allowed us to really build a community in a town we all knew as the Locks. Until our fears were lit once more. The rain that showered our crops had turned to a horrid scalding temperature; the sun that welcomed us with prosperity now burnt those who allowed themselves in it for more than a minute. Life was turned upside-down in a flash as mother nature unleashed her worst on Genesis. All hope was lost and souls were drowning in despair as we faced an uncertain future yet again. All hearts but one, my own mother Annabelle. She had found an ancient tablet in the Garden of Eden’s fragile grounds. A tablet that spoke of the devastation and offered a resolve to these unbearable days. The tablet spoke of a sacrifice that had to be given and in return a promise of restoration of the planet Genesis. The only problem was Annabelle was making a deal with Sumeria. An evil witch serpent that she knew nothing of or stopped to consider what she was really putting at stake. The sacrifice my mother offered was far worse than the towns-people could ever dream she opened the doors to the other unknown realms, letting an unforeseen depth of horror into our lives. ungekürzt.
