I have always enjoyed reading various editions of "The Tao Te Ching." I find the words calming and stimulating at the same time. Calming in the peaceful nature of the lessons. Stimulating in that the passages cause me to reflect on my own life and actions and how they relate to the world around me. When I saw "The Parent's Tao Te Ching: Ancient Advice for Modern Parents" by William Martin, I was intrigued. As a parent now, I was interested, where before becoming a father, this edition wouldn't have caused me a second glance. (To be expected, right?) However, what sold me on the book was seeing it had a forward by Dan Millman. Millman's "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" is one of my favorite books, and I...

The tiny island of Malta has a rich history which spans over 7000 years. To this day, many of its discoveries continue to baffle both scientists and archeologists alike. Halfway between Sicily and Tunisia, Malta is home to the world's oldest free standing structures, the magnificent and world famous Neolithic Temples. Researchers wonder in awe at how highly developed the people who built these temples must have been! These impressive temples also highlight Malta's former significance and prosperity. But who exactly were these people and where did they come from? And most of all, how did they manage to carry those huge megaliths and turn them into temples? Many of these questions are still largely...

Teaching Music History is a very difficult task. You face the stigma that most history teachers face. Most students attribute any kind of history to that of boredom and repetition. They mainly feel this way because music history is a subject which mostly has a lot of theory, and have little scope for practice. Students thus, feel bored. Also, the topics are extremely vast, and you often have a lot to cover. This makes kids feel bored to go through it all. However, this is one of the most crucial aspects to any kind of musical education. It is only by knowing the history of old and famous eras of music that students will be able to appreciate the modern instruments of today. These instruments weren't...

Prior to the 19th century there were many facts contained within the historical narratives of the Bible which were not verifiable. In other words, there were many people, places, battles, and dates which were only found in the Bible. Severe attacks on the Bible originated in the 19th century which asserted that the writers of the Scriptures resorted to folklore and myth to validate their spiritual teachings. These critics asserted that the people and places recorded in the early parts of Scriptures were mere legend. Just as these theories of higher criticism seemed on the verge of destroying the integrity of the Scriptures, an explosion of archaeological evidence silenced the critics. In the early...

The primary benefit of laser scanning-also referred to as laser surveying-is its ability to gather precise data from objects and environments, which can be used to carry out a variety of procedures and applications, from examining manufactured parts for warping to creating animations of how the components of a machine would work. Ultimately, most 3D laser scanning applications center around design in one way or another, which explains why 3D scanning is commonly associated with engineering and manufacturing. But 3D laser scanning also has a place in areas that have little if any connection with the engineering and manufacturing industries, one of which is art and archaeology. Below, we list and...

In many parts of the United States, archaeologists have found relics of people who lived thousands of years before Columbus discovered America.

Form the very early ages the appearance has been an important issue for the people. It is believed that the appearance of a person is the reflection of his personality. And our hair is the most integral part to build up our appearance. Often the personality of a character is reflected in a person’s hairstyle. In the ancient times the Egyptians had a lot of concern about their hairstyles. And their hairstyles varied with their age. While it is seen in the ancient Egypt the children had their head shaved except for a long lock of hair on the side of the hair. This lock was called the side-lock of the youth.

There are many theories about why the Roman Empire collapsed. Some say that their economy, which was largely driven by tributes from conquered kingdoms and smaller empires, expanded to the point where their income was far surpassed by their spending. In short, they spent more in Rome than they received through their conquests. Others will argue that their military stronghold over their surrounding areas expanded too much to be effective, leaving Rome itself open to enemies who were waiting at their front door for such an opportunity. When the Gauls sacked Rome in 387 AD and then again by the Visigoths in 410 AD, it became clear to Roman authorities that their city was not as impenetrable as they had...

Ancient Gladiators trained like true athletes, similar to the way professional athletes train today. Along with regular physical training, they were also taught how to use various weapons including the war chain, net, trident, dagger, and lasso.

Resistance training itself has been linked to numerous benefits including increasing bone mineral density, increasing strength, helping with daily activities, reducing body fat, leading to longer life, and improving heart condition. In other words, you may not need to be as agile, and strong as a Roman Gladiator, but it wouldn't...

Ever wonder why birth is so painful? Why women in the Middle East hide their bodies? Why is man so cruel? Going back into man’s history, some form of hunter-gatherer had been relatively the same for millions of years; no buildings, no farms, no language. About 12,000 years ago all that rapidly changed. Without explanation and suddenly man had agriculture, language, math, astronomy, herbology, and had started to build buildings. What was this missing link? Recently unearthed ancient documents like the Sumerian Tablets, Dead Sea Scrolls and the Book of Enoch have been pored over by the experts for the last 30-20 years. These scholars are saying that there might have been a visitation from advanced...

Italy has cultivated vines using ancient Greek methods for thousands of years. Ancient Greece's viticulture influence stretched past southern Italy and Sicily -the so-called Magna Grecia -to the Alps. Many Italian names date back to the mid-Byzantine period -Aglianico, Aleatico, Greco, Malvasia, Moscato-Moscatelli, Romania and Vin Santo must all be considered to have Greek origins. The 14th century judge Petrus de Crescentiis refers specifically to viticultural methods inherited from Greece. Veneto, in particular, was influenced by the Greek style-all of its finest wines were made from grapes half-dried in the sun. The strong, sweet Recioto and Amarone are believed to have been Venetian adaptations...

In the Bible (1 Corinthians 1:13-31), Paul says: 1) Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul? I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else. 2) For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing For it is written:  "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." 3) Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For...

Byzantine is the most popular, most recognized weave in chainmaille jewelry. There are numerous places on the internet to find patterns, but most people have a hard time figuring out which size to use and how many rings they'll need. It doesn't help that so many of the older patterns were written long ago when chainmakers used to make their own rings using the cut off shank of a screw driver or a wooden dowel that actually shrank a little bit every time they used it. Then they would lay their ring down on a ruler and pick the closest fraction as the size. Today rings are made with a little more precision. Specialized mandrels are machine ground to exact millimeters. Digital calipers will give you an...
