Most fascinating about the ancient Egyptians is that they were natural-born storytellers, which shows not only in their myths and gods, but also in how they lived their lives. They invented a unique writing system unique containing over 1,000 signs, including ideograms and phonograms, but that isn't all. The ancient Egyptians managed to fill the walls of their temples, palaces, tombs, obelisks, and even houses with their history, their stories, and the details of how they lived. They immortalized their history on stone, papyrus, and clay.

Ancient Africa holds a rich legacy of oral cultures, philosophies, and standards that reflect today's deep moral standards. For centuries, African mythology has largely been overlooked by its Western neighbors, particularly Greece and Rome, where myths and legends are typically narrated as single stories, unlike their African counterparts. But in recent years, academics and popular readers are starting to steer back to this continent, where legends and deities from ancient civilizations are just waiting to be revealed to the world. &#65279;

Even with all our modern technology and advanced science, we still know relatively little about the origins of our fascinating species. We have an idea about the natural processes that have led to the emergence of Homo sapiens as we know ourselves today as well as the nature of some of our ancestors. We also possess insight into other archaic human species that we once shared this planet with. Even though we have these bits of information and a general picture of what happened, much about our origins and early history remains mysterious. &#65279;

Marie Curie is renowned for her remarkable achievements and discoveries as a scientist. The fact that she's a female scientist may not be that controversial in our time, but that wasn't the case back in the 1800s when women were expected to marry, cook, and raise children. Maire set out on a road that was completely uncharted for women. Not only did she prove that women can do everything that men can, but she was also able to surpass many of her male colleagues and the male scientists of her era. Despite the prejudice she faced every step of the way, Marie Curie was set on pursuing her passion for science and never crumbled under pressure. &#65279;

The myths, beliefs, and customs of the Cherokees remain illustrative and interesting even today. Cherokee mythology has been recognized as a creative amalgamation of the physical world with the mythical one. This is quite evident in the creation and spiritual tales that we read throughout this book. The Cherokees have been devout worshippers of the Creator, Unetlanvhi, who is their main god. They are still proud of their mythology and wish to keep it alive for generations to come. Today, the sovereign Cherokee Nation has formed communities to promote their culture and keep their native history alive. Since the significance of tribal culture and myths is fading away over time, Native Americans are trying to pass the information to the new generations. &#65279;

As much as it has been used in popular culture as a horror aesthetic, it has also in recent years become a light, illuminating the living practice of African American folk religion. Hoodoo itself developed as a combination of beliefs from different African cultures. African slaves united their beliefs and cultures after being brought to America in an attempt to go back to their own roots, to rekindle the flame of their home cultures, and thus hoodoo was born. Hoodoo was used as both a spiritual and physical tool for survival. African slaves were very unlikely to get proper medical attention, and so they had to look after their own with the use of the botanical knowledge that they had at their disposal in order to keep themselves balanced and healthy. Traditional hoodoo practices were preserved orally by those enslaved in order to ensure that practices were not lost, as many of those enslaved did not always have many earthly possessions. These practices have survived to the present day, despite the belief that it is used only in late seventeenth-century midnight seances. &#65279;

Kabbalah for Beginners: An Introduction to Jewish Mysticism

The Kabbalah has long languished in darkness, unknown outside the confines of Jewish Mysticism and the communities who practiced it. But today, the Kabbalah is well-known but often misunderstood.The story of Kabbalah is as old as Judaism itself, with many of the ideas present in the Hebrew Scriptures interpreted in the canon of Kabbalah. Applying Jewish theological premises and Neo-Platonist cosmology, the Kabbalists created a systematic interpretation of familiar Creation Narrative in the Book of Genesis, which today illuminates and serves Judaism. At the same time, Kabbalistic concepts have entered mainstream consciousness with great interest expressed in mainstream Christianity and even in modern science.\nThis book will open your mind to: 
-The wisdom of the ancient sages. -Their philosophical and theological brilliance, and their inspiration – to understand their solution to the problem of evil in a “good” Creation.-Discover how Messianic hope was embodied in the canon of Kabbalah to answer historical persecution.-How the mitzvot (blessed acts practiced in Judaism) are the building blocks of tikkun olam (the repair of Creation).You’ll find in these pages a completely different way of approaching the mystery of Divinity, the purpose of humanity in Creation, and how we can, in our small, creaturely way, partner with God toward the final healing of Creation and the return of the Messiah and the dawn of Olam Haba (the World to Come).Kabbalah for Beginners, an Introduction to Jewish Mysticism, is my personal invitation to you to enter a world of bold exploration and humble introspection that has led, over many centuries, to a unique vision for humanity living in intimate relation to the Creator.

Black Wall Street: The Wealthy African American Community of the Early 20th Century

The story of the historic Greenwood District is a bittersweet one that speaks of triumph but was interrupted by tragedy, leaving one wondering, "what if?" The Black people of Greenwood had managed to overcome oppression, segregation, and widespread racism, only for all their progress to come to a sudden halt in May 1921. The last breaths of May 2021 marked a hundred years since the Tulsa Race Massacre. The massacre was a two-day attack performed by weapon-carrying white men against the thriving Black community in the Greenwood district in Tulsa, Oklahoma. While the Tulsa Race Massacre was one of the worst racially motivated carnages in U.S. history, and it is essential to bring awareness and proper respect to it and events like it, the massacre will not be the focus of this book. This project chooses to focus on the positive parts of the Greenwood District history and shine a light on the achievements and stories of early 20th century Black Americans and the formation and eventual astounding prosperity of the Greenwood community.
