Dr. Kara Cooney: Recycling for Death

A meticulous study of the social, economic, and religious significance of coffin reuse and development during the Ramesside and early Third Intermediate periods, illustrated with over 900 images

Funerary datasets are the chief source of social history in Egyptology, and the numerous tombs, coffins, Books of the Dead, and mummies of the Twentieth and Twenty-first Dynasties have not been fully utilized as social documents, mostly because the data of this time period is scattered and difficult to synthesize. This culmination of fifteen years of coffin study analyzes coffins and other funerary equipment of elites from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-second Dynasties to provide essential windows into social strategies and adaptations employed during the Bronze Age collapse and subsequent Iron Age reconsolidation.

Many Twentieth to Twenty-second Dynasty coffins show evidence of reuse from other, older coffins, as well as obvious marks where gilding or inlay have been removed. Innovative vignettes painted onto coffin surfaces reflect new religious strategies and coping mechanisms within this time of crisis, while advances in mummification techniques reveal an Egyptian anxiety about long-term burial without coffins as a new style of stuffed and painted mummy was developed for the wealthy. It was in the context of necropolis insecurity, economic crisis, and group burial in reused and unpainted chambers that a complex, polychrome coffin style emerged.

The first part of this book focuses on the theory and evidence of coffin reuse, contextualized within the social collapse that characterized the Twentieth and Twenty-first Dynasties. The second part presents photo essays of annotated visual data for over sixty Egyptian coffins from the so-called Royal Caches, most of them from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

Illustrated throughout with high-quality images, the line drawings and color and black-and-white photographs are ideal for careful study, especially evidenced in the digital edition, where pages can be enlarged for close examination.

Kara Cooney is a professor of Egyptology and chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA. Specializing in social history, gender studies, and economies in the ancient world, she received her PhD in Egyptology from Johns Hopkins University. In 2005, she was co-curator of Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Her popular books include The Woman Who Would Be King: Hatshepsut's Rise to Power in Ancient Egypt, When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt, and The Good Kings: Absolute Power in Ancient Egypt and the Modern World. Her latest academic book is Ancient Egyptian Society: Challenging Assumptions, Exploring Approaches.

Trevor Grassi: The Labyrinth of Hawara

Trevor Grassi: The Labyrinth of Hawara

The lost labyrinth of Egypt, or the Hawara labyrinth is a buried complex in Egypt. Built beneath the pyramid of Hawara, it is said to have contained mortuary temples, galleries, courtyards, and libraries that hold unseen information about Ancient Egyptian society, as well as other ancient civilizations, including some prior to commonly recorded history. It was described as a labyrinth by the Ancient Greek historian Herodotus, who was one of several Greek historians who saw the inside of the complex. While a labyrinth typically refers to a complicated maze, Herodotus saw the complexity of the structure and saw similarities. It is an apt comparison because the passages in the labyrinth seem to have been constructed to be confusing as a way to deter unwanted visitors and keep the temples safe. It supposedly has over 3,000 rooms, all laden with lost culture.Trevor Grassi is an independent researcher, world traveler, writer and filmmaker who has been studying and searching for the Hall of Records at Giza for nearly two decades. In the past few years he has worked closely with civil engineer and 'Gizatologist', William Brown, at Giza to reveal evidence of underground structures very close to the Sphinx and throughout the plateau. They have shared never-before-seen ground penetrating radar scans, photos, videos, and personal accounts of the subterranean network of tunnels and chambers that are likely connected to the record chambers described by Edgar Cayce. They are planning an excavation project at the most promising locations in the near future, and have released a three part documentary series entitled The Secret Underworld of Giza.https://opusmagnum.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Patrick Chouinard: Giants of Atlantis

Patrick Chouinard: Giants of Atlantis

Deep beneath the waves of myth and time lies Atlantis, a lost empire of unparalleled splendor, whispered to have birthed a race of giants whose legacy endures in ancient stone and scattered lore. In *Giants of Atlantis: The Legacy of the Fallen Race*, we embark on a speculative journey into the heart of one of humanity’s greatest enigmas. Were the Atlanteans towering beings of superhuman stature, as some ancient texts suggest, or are their monumental traces merely echoes of a forgotten culture? This book explores the tantalizing possibility that a race of giants once walked the earth, shaping civilizations and leaving cryptic markers in stone circles and megalithic temples. Drawing from the accounts of Plato, who described Atlantis as a naval power sunk by divine wrath, we begin with the philosophical cornerstone of the Atlantean myth. Plato’s dialogues, *Timaeus* and *Critias*, paint a picture of a sophisticated society lost to catastrophe. Yet, he hints at inhabitants of extraordinary might, capable of feats that defy modern understanding. Could these be the giants of legend? The book delves into parallel accounts from Saxo Grammaticus, whose *Gesta Danorum* chronicles Norse tales of towering figures wielding godlike power, and Adam of Bremen, whose descriptions of Baltic temples suggest sacred sites built for beings of immense scale. Patrick Chouinard is an American author, alternative archaeologist, and investigative mythologist who challenges conventional narratives about humanity's remote past. A prolific writer with ten published books exploring ancient civilizations and forgotten histories, Chouinard serves as Editor-in-Chief of The New Archaeology Review, a platform for cutting-edge archaeological research. As former host and producer of Archaeology TV, he brought alternative archaeological perspectives to mainstream audiences. Beyond academia, Chouinard is a dedicated political activist who advocates for transparency in historical research and the democratization of archaeological knowledge.www.patrickchouinard.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Randall Carlson: The Great Upheaval

Randall Carlson: The Great Upheaval

Randall Carlson is known for his interdisciplinary work as a geomythologist, architectural designer, and researcher into the connections between ancient mysteries and modern science. He is particularly recognized for his exploration of sacred geometry, catastrophism, and the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis. He is also known for his work on ancient civilizations, climate change, and the potential for cosmic impacts to have shaped Earth's history. Here's a more detailed breakdown:Geomythology and Catastrophism:Carlson is known for his work integrating geological and mythological evidence to suggest that Earth's history has been punctuated by large-scale, sudden catastrophic events, rather than solely gradual change. He is a proponent of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, which proposes that a comet or asteroid impact during the Younger Dryas period (roughly 12,800 years ago) caused significant environmental changes. Sacred Geometry and Ancient Mysteries:Carlson explores the patterns and proportions found in sacred geometry and their potential connections to ancient civilizations and their architecture. He believes that these patterns hold clues to understanding the universe and the nature of reality. Research and Public Outreach:Carlson has organized numerous expeditions to document evidence of past catastrophic events and has presented his findings through lectures, classes, and multimedia programs. He has also been featured in documentaries, podcasts, and books, including Graham Hancock's "Magicians of the Gods". He is also a co-host of the Kosmographia podcast. Architectural Design:Carlson is a master builder and architectural designer, and he applies his understanding of sacred geometry to his design work. He is also a Freemason, which he says informs his understanding of ancient symbolism and architecture. Focus on Cycles and Patterns:A core theme in Carlson's work is the idea that Earth and its civilizations are subject to cycles and patterns of change, influenced by cosmic events and other factors. https://randallcarlson.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Destiny: Susan Plunket, Paranormal Perspectives

Destiny: Susan Plunket, Paranormal Perspectives

This book will introduce you to yourself in a new way. It will transform how you thnk about yourself and help you recognize your own self-limitimg beliefs about who you are and can be. It is the author's story but it is also all of our story. The book moves through time from right after World War II, when the author was born, through the fifties, sixties and seventies as she grows up, eventually becoming a Jungian psychologist in the eighties. You have a front-row seat as you travel through the decades right up to the present witnessing Susan's sometimes harrowwing but always wondrous experiences with the invisible world.  Astral travel, angel visits, travel to the life between life realm, encounters with ghosts, conversations with the dead, including Jung, out of body experiences, possession by a dark being, dream realities, and visits to other dimensions, are some of the things she will share with you in A Jungain Understanding of Transcendent Experiences. By 2024 Susan realizes that the nature of reality is One Consciousness supporting all of us, or as Nobel Prize winning quantum phyisicist, Erwin Schrodinger, put it: "The number of minds in the universe is One."  We all have access to this Mind. This realization offers us freedom to move beyond hopelessness and negative thinking, to harness the power of this Mind to think the thoughts which create the experiences we desire. What we think, we create.This book is part of a series of books by different authors sharing their perspectives on the paranormal. Gavin Davies conceived the idea and invited the rest of us. The title all the books begins with Paranormal Perspectives: -- and then the author's subttitle. That should make it possible to find all of them on Amazon. I hope you enjoy the whole series. The first bunch will be released October 30, 2024. I enjoyed writing this more than any other book I've written.https://www.susanplunket.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Special Edition: Freddy Silva, Megalith, a Documentary

Special Edition: Freddy Silva, Megalith, a Documentary

Over 100,000 megaliths covered the French region of Bretagne, to the point where it once resembled a forest of stone. It is the world’s largest megalithic metropolis.And yet in central Portugal and the isles of Scotland there exists the same phenomenon. Why were these three locations chosen above all others by Neolithic architects?  And why were stones as tall as sixty feet transported as much as forty miles from their quarry?In his latest documentary https://invisibletemple.com/megalith.html bestselling author and researcher Freddy Silva takes an in-depth look at these regions — along with southern England — and finds a common thread: the selective choice of stone, identical design and construction methods, folklore, experiences of altered states, and legends of gods arriving from the sea. Add an understanding of gravity anomalies, electromagnetism, fault lines, a migration from the Black Sea region, and a language fingerprint originating in Armenia, and seemingly unconnected ideas converge to explain who masterminded this megalithic enterprise. And why.has rarely travelled anywhere since graduating in 1982 without being attached to a Nikon or a Leica. He began as an acredited concert photographer in London, and now captures his passion for temples, ancient sacred sites and the spirit inherent in the land. He is also a best-selling author and documentary filmmaker.
