Book excerpt: "Chronicles from pre-Celtic Europe" is a factual account of European and Asian pre-history as described in an ancient manuscript discovered in the Netherlands in 1867. The old chronicles tell of an advanced European civilisation that existed more than 4000 years ago; a civilisation unknown to or denied by historians to this day. The manuscript is compared to numerous authors from antiquity and tested against modern sciences such as archaeology, paleoclimatology, genetics, linguistics and many more. Undeniable evidence proves that this highly controversial but captivating document, Europe's "Rosetta Stone", is true in every respect. It shows that West European Civilisation pre-dates Greek and Roman societies by millennia and that many milestones which were in the past attributed to the Greeks, Romans, Phoenicians, Egyptians and others should, in fact, be accredited to North-Western Europe. The old manuscript which became known as "The Oera Linda Book" is still rejected by certain Dutch academics as a "Hoax" or a "Deception Conspiracy" by unidentified pranksters and without a clear motive; their opinions and theories based on no more than intuition. The Oera Linda manuscript relates the memoirs and eye witness accounts of men and women from Western Europe who suffered the biggest catastrophe in the recorded history of man; the event that killed millions and came down to us as "Noah's Flood". The pioneers from Europe's Western seaboard founded the ancient civilisations from Greece to Persia. They introduced the world to carbonised steel, chariot warfare and cavalry charges. They gave man the "Greek" alphabet, "Indo-Arabian" numerals, democracy, free enterprise, monotheism, linen, paper and so much more. It is time to set the record straight.

Book excerpt: In the sixth novel in the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan finds himself the target of two goddesses of the hunt and a trickster god determined to unleash the apocalypse. “[Kevin] Hearne is a terrific storyteller with a great snarky wit. . . . Neil Gaiman’s American Gods meets Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden.”—SFFWorld For someone who’s been alive for two thousand years, Atticus O’Sullivan is a pretty fast runner. Good thing, because he’s being chased by not one but two goddesses of the hunt—Artemis and Diana—for messing with one of their own. Dodging their slings and arrows, Atticus, Granuaile, and his wolfhound, Oberon, are making a mad dash across modern-day Europe to seek help from a friend of the Tuatha Dé Danann. His usual magical option of shifting planes is blocked, so instead of playing hide-and-seek, the game plan is . . . run like hell. Crashing the pantheon marathon is the Norse god Loki. Killing Atticus is the only loose end he needs to tie up before unleashing Ragnarok—AKA the Apocalypse. Atticus and Granuaile have to outfox the Olympians and contain the god of mischief if they want to go on living—and still have a world to live in.

Book excerpt: In the summer of 1996 the first international conference was held on the medieval chronicle, a genre which until then had received but scant attention from historians or specialists in literary history or art history. There are several reasons why the chronicle is particularly suited as the topic of an international conference. In the first place there is its ubiquity: all over Europe and throughout the Middle Ages chronicles were written, both in Latin and in the vernacular, and not only in Europe but also in the countries neighbouring on it, like those of the Arabic world. Secondly, all chronicles raise such questions as by whom, for whom, or for what purpose were they written, how do they reconstruct the past, what determined the choice of verse or prose, or what kind of literary influences are discernable in them. Finally, many chronicles have been beautifully illuminated, and the relation between text and image leads to a wholly different set of questions. It is the aim of the present volume to provide a representative survey of the on-going research in the field of chronicle studies, illustrated by examples from specific chronicles from a wide variety of countries, periods and cultural backgrounds.

Download or read book The Celtic Realms written by Myles Dillon and published by Phoenix. This book was released on 2000 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In tracing the period from prehistoric origins to the Norman invasion of Britain, Dillon and Chadwick achieve a masterly survey of the history and culture of the Celtic peoples. The origins of the Celts begins with a focus on ancient Gaul, with separate attention to British and Irish peoples. Though Celtic art is still valued today, part of our attraction is to its mystic quality; the authors demonstrate the particular genius of the Celts in their religion, literature, and visual arts.

Download or read book The Irish Annals written by Daniel P. McCarthy and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collectively the Irish annals represent a substantial and important source for the history and culture of Ireland. These texts provide the primary witness for much of early medieval Irish history, and for many key events and persons up until c.1600. Many of the most important of these texts passed into the possession of 17th-century Anglo-Irish scholars, and it was principally their work which formed the basis for all modern scholarship on them. However, examination of their work shows that a number of the accepted hypotheses rest upon assertions of opinion, and are unsupported by any textual evidence. This book first re-examines the manuscript evidence, commencing with an account of the primary manuscript witnesses for the ten most characteristic annalistic texts. It then reviews the scholarly literature relating to the annalistic corpus and identifies those hypotheses that are not supported by the available evidence. Next, based upon a critical evaluation of both the textual and chronological characteristics of the texts, the book establishes, where possible, the place, author(s), time and salient characteristics of the compilations that have contributed to the development of these ten texts. The penultimate chapter reviews the chronology of these texts and identifies the basis for a synchronised chronology for them all.
