In addition, the overall volume is maintained consistently. And that's saying a lot for Librivox if you know what I mean. 2 thumbs up! Let's keep our fingers crossed 4 the next volume.

    I Wish Audible would have had Graham Redmun narrate this book.

    Unfortunately I believe David Timson's narration, on Audible (although I usually love him narrating) is not quite right for Herodotus, I think Graham Redmun's no nonsense and no artifice minimalist approach is spot on and really helps the listener hear the actual information clearly.

    @4:34:10 One of the most overlooked statements Herodotus ever made. He is hinting that Egypt compared to what it was is dead even in his era. That Thebes used to BE EGYPT and the delta was some minor far away part of it. He is almost saying Egypt has been turned upside down and weakened. Thank Psamtik I for that

      I have yet to know what Herodotus has to say in the chapters read by a certain narrator.
      While they have a perfectly fine voice, that would be perfect for many things and genres, but I just can't make it more than a minute before skipping ahead until it returns to a voice that fits the material.
      It's so bad. It's like a 95 year old man reading the diary of a 13 year old girl, and my brain just can't pay attention to the words.

      Phoinix is the mythological bird that is reborn from its ashes.
      The Phoenicians were called by the ancient Greeks various populations of Semitic origin that were engaged in maritime trade in the Mediterranean. These may have included Aramaeans, Assyrians and other peoples from the Middle East. In other respects, the Greeks used the general term "Phoenicians" for all the Eastern merchants of the East who carried exotic products and spoke exotic languages, and not for a specific city-state, ethnicity, language or cultural group.

      Herodotus is wonderful! Just so you know, alot of what he says does end up NOT being true, but I do believe he wrote it to the best of his ability. He also did lie about quite a few things - for example, most historians (i, also, studied history extensively, and it is my speciality) know that he didn't go to Egypt, or many of the places he says he visited, but only spoke to people who had, or who were from those places.. BUT, HE IS, NEVERTHELESS, A WONDERFUL SOURCE ON MANY ASPECTS OF HISTORY OF HIS PERIOD, AND OTHERS, AND, ALONG WITH THAT, A WONDERFUL WRITER!
      ● HEY! A GREAT ANCIENT WRITER IS XENOPHON!! HE WAS ONE OF "THE 10,000," A GROUP OF GREEK MERCENARIES WHO FOUGHT IN A PERSIAN CIVIL WAR, HAD THE PERSON FOR WHOM THEY WERE FIGHTING DIE - EVEN THOUGH THEY WOULD HAVE WON THE BATTLE - AND, SUBSEQUENTLY, HAD TO MARCH, WHILE BEING PERSUED, OVER A THOUSAND MILES BACK TO GREECE THROUGH PRESIAN TERRITORY. XENOPHON IS WHAT WAS A MUCH MORE COMMON THING THEN - AND, EVEN, AS LATE AS WORLD WARS 1 AND 2 - THAN IT IS TODAY: A SOLDIER (OR GENERAL) WHO IS ALSO A TRUE HISTORIAN. IT IS TRULY FASCINATING, BECAUSE, AS THEY'RE MARCHING BACK TO GREECE, THEY PASS MANY ABANDONED CITIES (LIKE NINEVEH - THE ASSYRIANS, ASSUR - ASSYRIANS, ETC.)AND HE DISCUSSES THE CITIES, CULTURES AND PRACTICES, HISTORIES, PEOPLES, ETC., OF EVERY PLACE THROUGH WHICH HE PASSES.
      I THINK YOU WOULD LOVE HIM! HE - ALTHOUGH I LOVE HERODOTUS - IS ONE OF THE BEST ( AT LEAST, ONE OF MY FAVORITES!) LITERARY/HISTORICAL SOURCES ! I'VE LOVED HIM SINCE I FIRST READ HIM WHILE I WAS GETTING MY FIRST UNDERGRAD DEGREE! LIKE HERODOTUS, I CAN READ XENOPHON OVER AND OVER, AND OVER, AND ENJOY IT EVERY SINGLE TIME!!

In the case of christians the religion as we know it bares very little resemblance to it's early forms. At the time they were zealots following an outlawed religion.

      @sh-hg4eg 3 года назад +1

      Modern schools teach little of value, regarding history. In England you will learn about Romans, Norman invasion, Henry VIII, WWI, WWII and that's it. Nothing about the founding of the nation, the pre-Anglo-Saxon era (you'll maybe get Beowulf for the following Anglo-Saxon era), nothing about the civil wars and certainly nothing about the great western canons, such as this. This history you are taught is often done so in a one sided fashion, to give a false impression of wider society at that time, such as various brutal invasions being championed as examples of diversity or the grotesque misrepresentation of human bondage in human history, for political reasons.
      To teach history honestly often means going against the modern egalitarian dogma or, at the very least, it means eating up time from other useless classes or classes that have been padded out with thinly disguised propaganda from the prevailing ideological dogma of today.

      It means they are well considered and rational. Although, you'll find other writers often portray this trait of the Athenians as inhibiting and, in the context of democracy, open to abuse. Indeed, democratic rule was largely considered a poor system later on, due to the above considerations of how slow it is today react, that it is often open to serial corruption (think of modern politicians) and, with the advent of mass emancipation, that it eventually becomes a race to the lowest common denominator.

    Seminar Report: Is thought a Mental Representation
    By Haridath C U
    Semister III, MA Philosophy

    21KA03PH14
    SSUS Kalady
    To Prof. Sreekala M. Nair

    Introduction
    Thought is the part of man that marks him from the other animals. Knowledge of thought is therefore honorable.
    The contents are divided into On Representation, On Mental Represention and On Thought.
    The reason for the topic is that philospers in the sense of philospers of cognative science are prone to use this expression "mental representation" though it's unclear what they mean ny this or what their own sources are nor why they beleive that thought can be said to be a "mental representation". It's plain that thst it has to be mental representation or it cannot be mental representation at the same moment in the same respect. There is a hypothesis that the philospers in the sense of philosophy of cognative science were under the influence of Arthur Schopenhauer, and Immanuel Kant. But such supposition will take us away from the subject matter.
    One of the austro-german variations of the numerous post-hegalian philosophies, was used to "eliminate metaphysics" by such organisations as the "Berlin Circle", "Vienna Circle", etc. during the so-called "lingustic turn". The culture of Britian was suitable for such an operation( the tendency can already spotted in the promotion of empiricism, utilitarianism, scepticism, etc. in British culture) and Cambridge Apostles, an apparent secret society, in opposition to the Oxford hegalians or neo-hegalians such as F.H. Bradley and T. H. Green, was atleast sucessful atleast in persuading some faculties departments-mainly around domain that was once governed by the British Empire( and some north European countries too)-thsy

    Unfortunately, at the 5th hour, a woman starts reading who does not have a good reading voice and doesn't know the pronunciation of words: she pronounced Heraklis (Hercules) as Hur-a-culs (like miracles). then = den, other = udder...
    Dionysus = Di-on-is-is....
    Patience.

    please when you post ads make sure the volume is not so loud that it breaks the eardrums. I do not mind a couple of ads but I will skip ads before 30 seconds thus you do not make pennies from this listener. Try listening to a book you post after adding the ads, then you'll understand a legitimate complaint as opposed to whinging.

      Africa and the Americas are vastly different than implied domestic population. Due to be uncomfortable truth for some, but we need to revise the land bridge theory as the primary point of population movements between Asia and the Americas.
      New information has not fully been processed yet to be determined that the Bering sea land bridge was the primary route to inhabitants of North America and Central America let alone the vast distance from Brazil to Patagonia.
      Keeping this in mind the Nubians of tribal life had No written languages. Only during the Nubian dominant era of ancient Egypt
      did they use the same hyrogliphs.

    • @byronraptis686

      Comprehension does not equal truth, when you say every non Nubian is a direct result of invasion. I ain't beefin by saying this . Respect, just there is so much in history and allot of the peices seem to fit then we have shit that really can challenge what we percieved as truth and I am a white African.

    So the Ethiopians lived to 120 years and ate boiled meat of every creature under 4 foot high , freely available on their altar if the sun and they drank milk. They refused to eat the wheat dough bread of tPersians who only lived to be 80 . But they liked their palm wine

    • @sh-hg4eg
      @sh-hg4eg 3 года назад +1

      120 years seems an exaggerated account but similar descriptions of vigour and health are made of the Mongolians and Scythians who subsisted off similar pastoral diets. They were considered stronger, healthier and able to go longer between meals than people on a grain based diet. There is speculation on this being a factor in their ability to dominate neighbouring regions.
