    Geschichte Mesopotamiens
    Dietz Otto Edzard legt hier sein großes Überblickswerk über die ältesten Hochkulturen der Menschheit vor. Seine Geschichte Mesopotamiens zwischen dem 4. Jahrtausend vor Chr. und dem 1. Jahrhundert nach Chr. umfaßt Politik, Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft, Kultur und Religion so bedeutender Völker wie der Sumerer, Akkader, Assyrer und Babylonier.In Mesopotamien, dem Land zwischen Euphrat und Tigris, stand - ebenso wie in Ägypten - die Wiege der Zivilisation. Hier entstanden vor mehr als 5000 Jahren die ältesten Hochkulturen der Menschheit. Hier wurde die Schrift erfunden, die auf Ton geschriebene Keilschrift. Die Keilschrifttafeln, die in gewaltiger, noch längst nicht voll erschlossener Fülle erhalten geblieben sind, bilden ein lebendiges und facettenreiches Mosaik der Geschichte, Literatur, Gesellschaft und Kultur des Alten Orients. Dieses Mosaik hat der bekannte Altorientalist Dietz Otto Edzard zusammengesetzt zu einer informationsreichen und faszinierenden Gesamtdarstellung. Edzard erläutert die Voraussetzungen und Anfänge der Kulturen des Zweistromlandes und bietet einen Überblick über die Geschichte der einzelnen Staaten in Sumer, Akkad, Ur, Elam, Assur, Urartu und Babylonien und all ihrer konfliktreichen Beziehungen untereinander. Er beschreibt auch die Grundzüge ihrer Götterwelt und ihrer religiösen Vorstellungen, ihres Rechtswesens und ihrer Wirtschaft. Schließlich resümiert er den Niedergang der alten Reiche, den Aufstieg der Perser bis zum Sieg Alexanders des Großen über Dareios III. und dem Verschwinden der Keilschrift im ersten Jahrhundert der römischen Kaiserzeit.

    The Origin of Civilization, Hörbuch, Digital, 1443min
    What defines a civilization? How did the first states emerge? How were the world's ancient states similar and different? Answer these and other dramatic questions with this grand 48-lecture course that reveals how human beings around the world transitioned from small farming communities to the impressive cultural and political systems that would alter the course of history. Taking a gripping archaeological and historical approach to formative states such as the ancient Egyptians, the Chinese, and the Maya, Professor MacEachern completes your understanding of the history of civilization by exploring it at its earliest stages. Unlike traditional surveys of ancient civilizations, which tend to focus only on the glorious achievements of these cultures, you'll look at those first all-important steps that the world's first civilizations would take on the road to glory. You'll investigate places such as Mesopotamia, where agriculture laid the foundation for groundbreaking experiments in social and political development in places like Uruk and Sumer; the eastern Mediterranean, where expanding maritime trade during the Bronze Age increasingly knit the different societies of these islands into a web of political and economic relationships; and Mesoamerica, where the indigenous states in and around what are now Mexico, Honduras, and Nicaragua reveal the full flowering of Olmec and Maya civilization. You'll also take an engaging look at what archaeologists have learned from some of the world's oldest and most intriguing sites. In the end, these lectures will leave you awestruck at the diverse ways that ancient people crafted complex systems - systems whose broad strokes remain with us even today.

    Great Battles of the Ancient World, Hörbuch, Digital, 733min
    Forget Hollywood's portrayal of violence and mayhem in ancient warfare and find out what the ancient battles were really like. What were the weapons, tactics, armor, training, and logistics? What were the crucial factors that could turn the tide of battle, giving one side victory and the other defeat? In 24 exciting lectures, Professor Fagan introduces you to the many fateful battles that became crucibles of history: the fearsome clash between the Athenians and the invading Persian army at the Marathon, Alexander the Great's crushing hammer-and-anvil tactics against the Persians at Gaugemela, and the Roman mastery of siege warfare at the Jewish fortress of Masada. Encompassing the region from Mesopotamia to western Europe-including Egypt and Northern Africa-this course charts the development of warfare from prehistoric times and examines battles and warfare from the city-states of early Sumer to the fearsome Assyrian war machine, the Greeks' distinctive form of combat, the Persian invasions, and the legions of Rome, which evolved brutally effective tactics that gained them dominion over the entire Mediterranean basin. Although the battles you study were fought long ago, considerable controversy exists among contemporary historians. Professor Fagan presents contending theories without losing sight of the grim realities of war, and the many millions who have died on the battlefields. "We owe it to them," he concludes, "and to the thousands who continue to perish in our planet's wars, to understand as fully as possible what it was that killed them. If this course has advanced its audience's comprehension of war even a little, then it has amply fulfilled its purpose."

    Gobekli Tepe: Genesis of the Gods: The Temple of the Watchers and the Discovery of Eden , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 753min
    Built at the end of the last ice age, the mysterious stone temple complex of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey is one of the greatest challenges to 21st century archaeology. As much as 7,000 years older than the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge, its strange buildings and rings of T-shaped monoliths - built with stones weighing from 10 to 15 tons - show a level of sophistication and artistic achievement unmatched until the rise of the great civilizations of the ancient world, Sumer, Egypt, and Babylon. Chronicling his travels to Göbekli Tepe and surrounding sites, Andrew Collins details the layout, architecture, and exquisite relief carvings of ice age animals and human forms found at this 12,000-year-old megalithic complex, now recognized as the oldest stone architecture in the world. He explores how it was built as a reaction to a global cataclysm - the Great Flood in the Bible - and explains how it served as a gateway and map to the sky-world, the place of first creation, reached via a bright star in the constellation of Cygnus. He reveals those behind its construction as the Watchers of the Book of Enoch and the Anunnaki gods of Sumerian tradition. Unveiling Göbekli Tepe's foundational role in the rise of civilization, Collins shows how it is connected to humanity's creation in the Garden of Eden and the secrets Adam passed to his son Seth, the founder of an angelic race called the Sethites. In his search for Adam's legendary Cave of Treasures, the author discovers the Garden of Eden and the remains of the Tree of Life - in the same sacred region where Göbekli Tepe is being uncovered today. ungekürzt.

    Der zwölfte Planet
    »Der zwölfte Planet« liefert eindrucksvolle Belege für die Existenz eines zusätzlichen Planeten in unserem Sonnensystem: Nibiru - der Heimatplanet der Anunnaki, »jene die vom Himmel auf die Erde kamen«.Zecharia Sitchin schildert in diesem Ausnahmewerk die Ursprünge der Menschheit anhand von Erkenntnissen aus der Archäologie, der Mythologie und antiken Texten und dokumentiert außerirdische Einflüsse auf die Erdgeschichte. Er konzentriert sich dabei vorwiegend auf das alte Sumer und enthüllt mit beeindruckender Genauigkeit die vollständige Geschichte unseres Sonnensystems, wie sie von den Besuchern eines anderen Planeten erzählt wurde, der sich alle 3.600 Jahre der Erde nähert. »Der zwölfte Planet« ist das kritische Standardwerk über die Astronauten der Antike - wie sie hierhergelangten, wann sie kamen und wie ihre Technologie und Kultur die menschliche Rasse seit Hunderttausenden von Jahren beeinflußt.»Aufregend ... glaubwürdig ... sehr provokativ und zwingend. 'Der zwölfte Planet' präsentiert Nachweise für eine völlig neue Theorie, die einige uralte Fragen beantwortet und einiges an Wellen schlagen wird (wie der Autor selbst schreibt: 'Wenn die Nefilim den Menschen erschaffen haben - wer hat dann die Nefilim erschaffen ...?')« Library Journal»Eines der wichtigsten Bücher über die Ursprünge der Erde, das je geschrieben wurde.« East West Magazine»Sitchin ist ein eifriger Erforscher der Ursprünge des Menschen. Eine unglaubliche Leistung.« Kirkus Reviews»Sitchins Buch ist nichts geringeres als eine Sensation (...). Ein nüchternes und ausgezeichnet recherchiertes Buch mit tiefschürfenden Schlußfolgerungen und ganz offensichtlich das Ergebnis akribischer und scharfsinniger Forschungsarbeiten an den Texten vergangener Zeitalter. Als solches ist es aufrichtig und überzeugend.« Worcester Evening Press

    Kalibangan: The History of the Indus Valley Civilization's Provincial Capital in Ancient India , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min
    Well-regulated streets (were) oriented almost invariably along with the cardinal directions, thus forming a grid-iron pattern. (At Kalibangan) even the widths of these streets were in a set ratio, i.e. if the narrowest lane was one unit in width, the other streets were twice, thrice and so on...Such a town-planning was unknown in contemporary West Asia. (B.B. Lal)When one thinks of the world’s first cities, Sumer, Memphis, and Babylon are some of the first to come to mind. If the focus then shifts to India, then Harappa and Mohenjo Daro will undoubtedly come up, but after that, India’s other ancient cities are often overlooked. This is unfortunate, since India’s oldest civilization, known as the Indus Valley Civilization or the Harappan Civilization, was contemporary with ancient Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt and had extensive contacts with the former, which makes it one of the most important early world civilizations.Spread out along the rivers of the Indus River Valley, hundreds of settlements began forming around 3300 BCE, eventually coalescing into a society that had all of the hallmarks of a true civilization, including writing, well-developed cities, a complex social structure, and long-distance trade. Among the many cities that formed in this region was a site known today as Kalibangan, which was unknown to the modern world until archaeologists began uncovering its secrets in excavations during the 1960s. They uncovered a city that was not as large or important as the better-known sites of Mohenjo Daro and Harappa, but one that was still relatively large and the most important of all Indus cities along the now extinct Saraswati River. Excavations at Kalibangan have revealed that the city had two phases of settlement which corresponded with the two major phases of Indus Valley Civilization and that it influenced the smaller settlements along the Saraswati River. Archaeological work at Kalibangan has also shown that although ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/174754/bk_acx0_174754_sample.mp3.

    Harappa: The History of the Ancient Indus Valley Civilization's Most Famous City , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 96min
    When one thinks of the world’s first cities, Sumer, Memphis, and Babylon are some of the first to come to mind, but if the focus then shifts to India, then Harappa and Mohenjo-daro will likely come up. These cities owe their existence to India’s oldest civilization, known as the Indus Valley Civilization or the Harappan Civilization, which was contemporary with ancient Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt and had extensive contacts with the former, making it one of the most important early civilizations in the world. Spread out along the rivers of the Indus River Valley, hundreds of settlements began forming around 3300 BCE, eventually coalescing into a society that had all of the hallmarks of a true civilization, including writing, well-developed cities, a complex social structure, and long-distance trade.The fact that the ancient Indus Valley Civilization is also often referred to as the Harappan Civilization demonstrates how important the discovery of Harappa is. As archaeologists and historians began to uncover more of the ancient Harappa site in the 19th and early 20th centuries, a more complete picture of the city emerged, namely its importance. Research has shown that Harappa was one of the three most important Indus Valley cities, if not the most important, with several mounds of settlements uncovered that indicate building activities took place there for over 1,000 years. At its height, Harappa was a booming city of up to 50,000 people who were divided into neighborhoods by walls and who went about their daily lives in well-built, orderly streets. Harappa also had drainage systems, markets, public baths, and other large structures that may have been used for public ceremonies. Ancient Harappa was truly a thriving and vibrant city that was on par with contemporary cities in Mesopotamia such as Ur and Memphis in Egypt.The research that has been done at Harappa over the last several decades has helped scholars understand various aspects of life there ungekürzt.

    The Ancient Indus Valley Civilization’s Biggest Cities: The History and Legacy of Mohenjo-daro, Harappa, and Kalibangan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 189min

It was a metropolis of great cultural, economic, and political importance that dates from the beginning of the third millennium BCE. Although it primarily flourished between approximately 2500 and 1500 BCE, the city had long-lasting influences on the urbanization of the Indian subcontinent for centuries after its abandonment. It is believed to have been one of two capital cities of the Indus Civilization, its twin being Harappa located further north in Punjab, Pakistan.The fact that the ancient Indus Valley Civilization is also often referred to as the Harappan Civilization demonstrates how important the discovery of Harappa is. As archaeologists and historians began to uncover more of the ancient Harappa site in the 19th and early 20th centuries, a more complete picture of the city emerged, namely its importance. Research has shown that Harappa was one of the three most important Indus Valley cities, if not the most imp ungekürzt.
