This volume celebrates six such languages - Ancient Greek, Latin, Old English, Sanskrit, Old Irish, and Biblical Hebrew - by first introducing listeners to their most distinctive features, then showing how these linguistic traits play out in short excerpts from actual ancient texts. It explores, for instance, how Homer's Greek shows signs of oral composition, how Horace achieves striking poetic effects through interlaced word order in his Latin, and how the poet of Beowulf attains remarkable intensity of expression through the resources of Old English.

The prophet Joel predicted that in the last days God would pour out His Spirit on believers, and young people would see visions and old people would dream dreams. We need to learn the ancient language of dreams and the biblical importance of how to properly interpret them. In this book, we give numerous examples of God speaking though dreams and visions. We will also look at the dreams of Abraham and the Persian Magi given in extra-biblical documents. I included a small selection of dreams I have had over the years.

Roughly half the world's population speaks languages derived from a shared linguistic source known as Proto-Indo-European. But who were the early speakers of this ancient mother tongue, and how did they manage to spread it around the globe? The Horse, the Wheel, and Language solves a puzzle that has vexed scholars for two centuries and recovers a magnificent and influential civilization from the past. 

The oldest word in human language has been waiting five thousand years to be found. Someone just found it. Someone else intends to use it as a weapon. When Georgetown linguist Dr. Lawrence Cross receives an emergency call about the death of his mentor in the Vatican Secret Archives, he boards the next flight to Rome expecting a professional courtesy visit. Within twenty-four hours, his hotel room has been searched, a man is following him through the streets, and a suspended Dominican archivist has slid a photograph across a café table that stops him cold. The photograph shows a single page...

What if the struggles that have nearly broken you contain the very lessons you need to obtain peace of mind? According to the Isha Upanishad, this is exactly how life works. Though not widely known by the masses, the Upanishads have shaped nearly every spiritual and philosophical tradition we know of, including Buddhism,the philosophies of the Greeks (via Pythagoras, Plato, and others), the mysticism of Plotinus, the hidden teachings of the Gnostics, the meditations of Sufis and early Christian mystics, and even the New Age movement … along with countless others. The wisdom contained ...

In this groundbreaking study, P. C. Anderson tackles one of Genesis’s most debated episodes—the confusion of languages at Babel (Genesis 11:1–9)—with a level of clarity, rigor, and transparency rarely applied to the subject.

Across the book’s chapters, readers will ...

THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK EVER PUBLISHED. WARNING: This is not a self-help book. It is a declassification of the spiritual prison you were born into. For 5,000 years, humanity has been running on a corrupted operating system. We call it "The Human Condition." Ancient texts called it "The Fall." But the Planetary Resonance Audit reveals the terrifying truth: The "Confusion of Tongues" at Babel was not a punishment from God. It was a Macro-Sonic Dissonance Event—a calculated hack of the human mind designed to sever our connection to the Earth's frequency. The virus is Language itself. In this...

The origin of a saviour in the guise of a little child is traceable to Child-Horus, who brought new life to Egypt every year as the Messu of the inundation. This was Horus in his pre-solar and pre-human characters of the fish, the shoot of the papyrus, or the branch of the endless years. In a later stage the image of Horus on his papyrus represented the young god as solar cause in creation.

Perhaps not surprisingly given how advanced they were in comparison to contemporaries, the Egyptians invented one of the first writing systems ever, and for centuries, people thought these ancient texts held some sort of secret, be it aliens, advanced technology lost to the world, or mystical cures for all of the world’s ills. Even the ancient Egyptians saw their writing systems as full of mystery and hidden knowledge - according to Egyptian mythology, writing was invented by the ibis-headed god Thoth, the most intellectual of the gods.
