Thera and the Exodus
Of all the volcanic eruptions that shook the earth, two of the volcano on the Aegean island Thera, modern Santorini, are more important to the modern world than any other. Not only did they lead to the formation of the people known as the Israelites, but indirectly also gave birth to the god of Judaism, Islam and Christianity. The biblical Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt is closely linked to these two eruptions, the second which occurred ca. 1450-1410 BCE during the reign of Amenhotep III, Egypt's golden pharaoh. The fallout of the eruption caused a deadly plague to break out in Egypt and to appease the perceived anger of the gods, Amenhotep ordered all firstborn in Egypt to be sacrificed in fires. His firstborn son, Crown Prince Tuthmosis, was first in line to be sacrificed, but was saved from the fire in the nick of time, an event recorded as the 'burning bush' episode in the Bible. Prince Tuthmosis became the biblical Moses and the events of that followed are now finally revealed. ,
Ithihaasa
Dr. Singh: '[Science] says that the different species were not created simultaneously, but evolved gradually. ...I came across a statement in the Bhagavad-Gita to the effect that all 8,400,000 species of living entities are created simultaneously. Is that correct?' Srila Prabhupada: 'Yes. Living beings move from one bodily form to another. The forms already exist. The living entity simply transfers himself just as a man transfers himself from one apartment to another. One apartment is first-class, another is second class, and another is third-class. Suppose a person comes from a lower class apartment to a first-class apartment, the person is the same, but now, according to his capacity for p...
Breaking the Bombers
'Mark Shaw is the foremost analyst of organised crime in SA.' – Jonny Steinberg At the dawn of the country's brave new democracy, Cape Town was at war. Pagad, which began as a community protest action against crime, had mutated into a sinister vigilante group wreaking death and destruction across the city. Between 1996 and 2001, there were hundreds of bomb blasts – most infamously at the Planet Hollywood restaurant at the V&A Waterfront – and countless targeted hits on druglords and gang bosses. The police scrambled desperately to respond. The new ANC government was shaken. Citizens of Cape Town lived in fear. Who could save the city? Mark Shaw tells the incredible tale of how former foes – struggle cadres and the apartheid security apparatus – pulled together to break the Pagad death squads. Out of this crisis emerged the elite law enforcement unit, the Scorpions. It is a story that has never been told in full. Now many involved have broken their silence about this pivotal chapter in South Africa's history, which offers far-reaching lessons on how to deal with organised crime today.
Israel's Exodus in Transdisciplinary Perspective
The Bible's grand narrative about Israel's Exodus from Egypt is central to Biblical religion, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim identity and the formation of the academic disciplines studying the ancient Near East. It has also been a pervasive theme in artistic and popular imagination. Israel's Exodus in Transdisciplinary Perspective is a pioneering work surveying this tradition in unprecedented breadth, combining archaeological discovery, quantitative methodology and close literary reading. Archaeologists, Egyptologists, Biblical Scholars, Computer Scientists, Geoscientists and other experts contribute their diverse approaches in a novel, transdisciplinary consideration of ancient topography, E...

Sometimes, we learn the most important lessons from reanalyzing something we think we already know. There seems to be so much we take for granted, and, throughout history, we humans have shown an overwhelming tendency to believe what we are told. Everyone knows about Jesus, right? It would be safe to assume that Christians in particular surely do, and given the prevalence of this religion in modern times, it seems that even those outside Christianity are familiar with at least some understanding of the man behind the faith. However, despite the widespread nature of the stories we all know so well, they are actually not based on fact, and beneath our mainstream acceptance are countless alarmi...
A Verdade Sobre O Gnosticismo
O gnosticismo emprega meditação, contemplação, vários sacramentos e rituais que tornam essa religião perdida única. Para se qualificar como uma religião gnóstica, existem alguns conceitos compartilhados incluídos em quase todas as seitas do gnosticismo. Geralmente há a noção de uma deidade monádica absoluta e remota. Os gnósticos acreditam que todos os seres subseqüentes emanaram deste Ser Divino Supremo. O gnosticismo constrói sua fundação conclusiva sobre a Queda do Homem. A criação é explicada pelos gnósticos através do uso de um complexo drama mitológico e cosmológico; geralmente envolvendo a queda de um elemento divino no mundo material que somente alcançará a salvação através de um processo de despertar - a jornada para a gnose.
