Languages : en
Pages : 1042

Book Description
This book, in English version, starting from the researches of the Sumerologist Zecharia SItchin, of the organic chemist Corrado Malanga, tries to demonstrate through the use of philosophical-ontological concepts, the validity in particular of Corrado Malanga's research concerning, among other things, anthropomorphic-humanoid-differently physical and exodimensional-esoterrestrial beings, which for centuries have been operating on planet Earth, to achieve their own end. This "Interpretation of John's Apocalypse-subtitle-A new hermeneutics-epistemology of History", expands the discourse, of the previous "The authentic mimetic meaning of Christianity and religious esotericism" by the author himself, incorporating the text into his internal, with the addition of new material, trying to unify-decode politics-economics-exobiology-terrestrial human history-fairy-tale literature-esoteric symbolism-artistic-philosophical works-advertising communications and spoken language. In the literary-philosophical-artistic-political-economic-commercial advertising field, further texts-images etc. could be considered. but to avoid an excessive increase in the pages of the book, we have chosen not to do so. An interrelated whole that always shows the same project aimed at the theft of the terrestrial human soul, through the construction of a genetic crossing race between terrestrial humans and exodimensional-exoterrestrial-energetic parasites of various physical nature. All covered under a self-referring-mystical apologetic, symbolic-religious metaphoric, which reveals among other things, the esoteric-religious crucible represented-syncretized over time, by Christianity-Catholicism. Some artistic-literary-musical works are decoded by-in their metaphorical-symbolic content, revealing concrete meanings other than the hermeneutic custom of which they were the object. The esoteric turns out to be biological exoteric.

Book Description
Earth begins to heal with the passage of time. It starts with the land, different than the last time, when life began in the sea. Shadow’s twins, Morgan and Michaela, have come a long way, but their paths have diverged. Michaela is air and dragon, making her home in the mountains. While on the coast, Morgan is water and leviathan. He is drawn to The Old Writings, to tales of mages, black, white, and gray. He seeks to gain respect for the black mages of the past—which they’ve never had—by creating life. If he can do that, he believes he can become a deity and earn the respect long denied him. Shadow is unexpectedly drawn into a situation she cannot control, and only the aid of Ghost keeps her from certain death. To the others, she has simply vanished. Her disappearance hits Dodger hard, and he leaves everyone behind, including his oldest friend, Raz. In the wake of Dodger’s absence, Raz discovers his own destiny, and he doesn’t shirk in doing his duty. Morgan’s anger—and his overwhelming desire to create life—threaten the future of a world that is trying to heal and move on from its past. Is history doomed to be repeated? Has humankind learned nothing? Is all lost, or will a savior rise to save Earth from destruction?

Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004186638
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 405

Book Description
This book is a pioneering work on a key iconographic motif, that of the dragon. It examines the perception of this complex, multifaceted motif within the overall intellectual and visual universe of the medieval Irano-Turkish world. Using a broadly comparative approach, the author explores the ever-shifting semantics of the dragon motif as it emerges in neighbouring Muslim and non-Muslim cultures. The book will be of particular interest to those concerned with the relationship between the pre-Islamic, Islamic and Eastern Christian (especially Armenian) world. The study is fully illustrated, with 209 (b/w and full colour) plates, many of previously unpublished material. Illustrations include photographs of architectural structures visited by the author, as well as a vast collection of artefacts, all of which are described and discussed in detail with inscription readings, historical data and textual sources.
