Radu Cinamar stunned the world when he announced the greatest archeological find of all time in his first book, Transylvanian Sunrise, which revealed a hidden chamber some 50,000 years old beneath the Romanian Sphinx in the Bucegi Mountains. This chamber includes holographic technology with a visual data bank of infinite DNA permutations in additon to three tunnels: one leading to the inner earth, one to Tibet and one to Egypt. In Mystery of Egypt, Radu is part of an expedition to explore the tunnel to Egypt where they encounter ancient artifacts that look more futuristic than they do ancient. It is a detailed account of a remarkable adventure that includes further interactions with Cezar Brad, the head of Romanian Intelligence's Department Zero, and Elinor, the enigmatic alchemist. While these claims are more than controversial, Cezar ignites further controversy when he shares some of his experiences since their last meeting. An amazing follow-up to Radu's second book, Transylvanian M

This collection attempts to set the study of literacy in the ancient world in the wider contexts of the debates among anthropologists over the impact of writing on society. Was writing a revolutionary innovation, prompting or participating in social change, or a fundamentally repressive and disciplinary technology? The book consists of a series of studies ranging over the whole of the Mediterranean world and much of northern Europe during a period of more than a millennium (c. 600 BC–AD 800). The areas examined include Pharaonic and Hellenistic Egypt, Persia and the Near East, Judaea, classical Greece, and the Roman and the Byzantine empires. Each of the contributors investigates, in his or her particular area of expertise, the changing roles of writing in history, in particular the extent to which writing played an active role in historical change in antiquity.
