Ancient Enemies Future Heroes


Book Description

What if earths history as we know it is only a fragment of the actual truth? What if it started thousands of years before we ever thought? Could it be possible that an advanced society and civilization thrived here on earth, but due to a worldwide flood, their existence was nearly wiped away from history? With melting glaciers at the end of the last ice age then combined with a comet colliding with the earth, it caused global rainstorms and increased volcanic activity resulting in the rapid melting of earths ice. It quickly flooded earths entire surface. After over a month of flooding, only a small fragment of earths inhabitants survived. Many civilizations and creatures were totally wiped away. Many great cities were buried or sent to the bottom of seas. Animals and humans had to start over with repopulating the earth. Over time, some evidence of this time has been found. Some of these items found are more advanced then we are today. Some items are even questionable if they are even from earth. Only a few left today really know the truth about our planet.

After many hundreds of years, a civil war broke out among them with the human race getting caught in the middle.

Now in todays world, the aliens are once again planning their takeover of our world with their extinction agenda. They have already started influencing our society. A small group of individuals have been tragically brought together after their ancestors were eliminated by the aliens because they were being seen as threats. Now this small group is the only one in the aliens way of global domination.







Enemies of Civilization


Book Description

Enemies of Civilization is a work of comparative history and cultural consciousness that discusses how "others" were perceived in three ancient civilizations: Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China. Each civilization was the dominant culture in its part of the world, and each developed a mind-set that regarded itself as culturally superior to its neighbors. Mu-chou Poo compares these societies' attitudes toward other cultures and finds differences and similarities that reveal the self-perceptions of each society. Notably, this work shows that in contrast to modern racism based on biophysical features, such prejudice did not exist in these ancient societies. It was culture rather than biophysical nature that was the most important criterion for distinguishing us from them. By examining how societies conceive their prejudices, this book breaks new ground in the study of ancient history and opens new ways to look at human society, both ancient and modern.




Ancient China and its Enemies


Book Description

Relations between Inner Asian nomads and Chinese are a continuous theme throughout Chinese history. By investigating the formation of nomadic cultures, by analyzing the evolution of patterns of interaction along China's frontiers, and by exploring how this interaction was recorded in historiography, this looks at the origins of the cultural and political tensions between these two civilizations through the first millennium BC. The main purpose of the book is to analyze ethnic, cultural, and political frontiers between nomads and Chinese in the historical contexts that led to their formation, and to look at cultural perceptions of 'others' as a function of the same historical process. Based on both archaeological and textual sources, this 2002 book also introduces a new methodological approach to Chinese frontier history, which combines extensive factual data with a careful scrutiny of the motives, methods, and general conception of history that informed the Chinese historian Ssu-ma Ch'ien.

Where Once We Feared Enemies


Book Description

Whether we are conscious of it or not, we fear difference. That often unwarranted fear leads us to create enemies in our hearts and minds. Growing out of the experience of a multi-cultural congregation in which diversity is both valued and feared, Where Once We Feared Enemies offers an uncompromising prophetic vision of the American church's identity and mission. Stroupe firmly grounds a liberal social viewpoint within the biblical and theological traditions of the church, and he calls us to hear God's claim on us in our place and in our time. Underlying his powerful messages is the fundamental conviction that the barriers which separate us from our neighbors have been brought down in Jesus Christ. This book will be an indispensable addition to any pastor's library. It is also inspiring and enlightening reading for anyone interested in the future of the American church, as well as its role in the continuing stories of race relations, civil rights, and peace and justice issues.
