<strong>Evidence for dynastic succession among early Celtic elites in Central Europe</strong>

"_The historical and archaeological record leave no doubt that the development of culture and population in southwestern Germany was temporarily characterized by profound discontinuities, particularly during the third to first century BCE. The definitive end of the 2,000 years of relative genetic continuity from the Bronze throughout the Iron Age in southern Germany is marked by a sudden, sharp increase of Steppe-related ancestry during the Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages._"

Languages from the World of the Bible

"The breakthrough of the alphabetic script early in the first millennium BCE coincides with the appearance of several new languages and civilizations in ancient Syria-Palestine. Together, they form the cultural setting in which ancient Israel, the Hebrew Bible, and, transformed by Hellenism, the New Testament took shape."

<strong>The Making and Unmaking of a Presidency: Envisioning Empire in British Bencoolen, 1685–1825</strong>

"_The effort to transform Sumatra into a productive constituent of a larger imperial nexus depended on many of the same processes that were to shape modern capitalism. Not only did British officials in Bencoolen deploy coerced and enslaved labor, they did so with the intent of wresting control of the production, consumption, and circulation of valuable commodities such as pepper and sugar. Practices of slavery, transplantation, and agrarian change typically associated with British colonies in the Atlantic world fundamentally shaped Bencoolen._"

<strong>The Export Of Capital To Colonies And The Falling Rate Of Profit In Economic Thought: 1776-1917</strong>

"_The colonization of South Africa, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand was closely linked with European emigration. After 1870, colonization affected large areas of Africa, Asia, and the Pacific where the population remained overwhelmingly non-European (Bayly 2004). As an advocate of emigration writing in the 1830s, Wakefield argued that the main purpose of acquiring colonies was to extend the agricultural frontier by settling European farmers on previously uncultivated land._"

<strong>Biblical Gilgal: A Common Place Name or a Cult Site near Jericho?</strong>

<strong>The geometrical atomism of Roger Bacon</strong>

"_He argued that all four sublunar elements, namely, earth, water, air, and fire, can be analysed into geometrical units which take two shapes: cubical when at rest, and pyramidal when in motion. This allowed him, in turn, to solve the difficulty of the participation of the cubical portions of earth in elemental transmutations, which was due to the triangular faces of the other elements._"

<strong>Assyrian conquest and ruralization: unveiling territorial dynamics in the provinces of Magiddû and Samerina</strong>

"_This study has illustrated that the Assyrian territorial strategy implemented in the provinces of Magiddû and Samerina, established upon the remnants of the Kingdom of Israel, manifested as clusters of sites, termed ‘islands of control’. These ‘islands’ comprised a rural landscape overseen by the principal cities of Tel Dan, Megiddo and Samaria. This territorial approach mirrors a broader modus operandi adopted by the Assyrians across their empire to manage agricultural production._"

<strong>First English settlers in North America ate dogs to survive</strong>

"Archaeologists excavated about 181 canine bones in Jamestown – representing at least 16 dogs that lived between 1607 and 1617 AD.

The dog remains showed evidence of bone modifications “consistent with human skinning, skeletal disarticulation, and meat removal” – meaning they were consumed by the colonists."

<strong>The Reception of the Marduk Prophecy in Seventh-Century B.C. Nineveh</strong>

"_This article discusses how the Marduk Prophecy was read and re-interpreted in Nineveh at that time. Between the Marduk Prophecy and the royal literature during the reign of Ashurbanipal, the following common themes can be recognized: (1) reconstruction of the Babylonian temples, above all Esagil; (2) conquest of Elam; and (3) fulfillment of divine prophecies. On the basis of these, the author proposes that in the seventh-century Nineveh the Marduk Prophecy was regarded as an authentic prophecy predicting the achievements of Ashurbanipal, and that this is the main reason why this text was read at his court._"

<strong>Hebrew wasn’t spoken for 2,000 years. Here’s how it was revived.</strong>

"_In the 19th century, most Jews in Europe were still second-class citizens when a new movement emerged that looked to Hebrew as a way to inspire hope through the Jewish people’s glorious past, Reuveny says. Hebrew revivalists wanted to expand the language beyond the abstract concepts in the Bible—they wanted to use it to talk about modern events, politics, philosophy, and medicine._"

<strong>Benito Mussolini: This Was the Life of Il Duce</strong>

"_Mussolini’s propaganda was full of references to Latin and ancient Roman imagery. In 1936, after the end of the Italo-Ethiopian colonial war, the Duce boastfully announced from the balcony of Palazzo Venezia “the reappearance of the empire on the fatal hills of Rome.” A racial legislation carefully regulated the interactions between Italians and Ethiopians._"
