However, more accessible destinations and larger cities offer a glimpse into ancient civilization and varied culture that delights the kid in all of us. Most hotels can arrange extra beds at little additional cost, and connecting room capability is common. Familyhostel (tel.

Extractions: Mr. Schoch, a full-time faculty member at the College of General Studies at Boston University since 1984, earned his Ph.D. in geology and geophysics at Yale University. Mr. McNally is a writer and poet whose early education in classical Latin blossomed into a lifelong fascination with ancient civilization and mythology. They are the authors of Voyages of the Pyramid Builders (Tarcher/Putnam, 2003). When most of the academics trained in the study of the ancient world look at pyramids on different continents, they see proof of humankind's division into distinct, separate civilizations. We see something quite the opposite: compelling evidence of the underlying unity of civilization. At its most extreme, the orthodox viewpoint goes something like this. Civilization dates to no earlier than the middle fourth millennium B.C. It began in Mesopotamia, then spread to Egypt, and subsequently throughout the Old World. Other civilizations arose on their own - and much later - in the Americas, where they remained disconnected from Asia and Africa until Columbus piloted his three small ships across the Atlantic. The Old World and the New World each invented civilization independently. I (Schoch) first came to understand there was something wrong with this view while investigating the origins of the Great Sphinx of Giza. As a geologist, I knew that the weathering patterns of the Giza plateau indicated that the Sphinx was carved in stages. In addition, the oldest portions went back much farther than the conventional 2500 B.C. date given the sculpture; the earliest part most likely predates 5000 B.C.

Angkor Life Handbook of Oriental Studies, Section Three, SouthEast asia, vol.12. Brill, Leiden.Higham, Charles2002The Civilization of Angkor. http://engineering-books-online.com/0942777158.html
Extractions: Customer Reviews This book is based on the 13th-century Chinese document currently published as "The Customs of Cambodia." This original document contains about 85 pages of commentary and description, all concerning life in old Angkor Wat.The author of the present book apparently decided that he could write a sort of "fantasy" based on this ONE surviving document. After he had completed his magic, he wound up with 111 pages.The choice is yours: would you rather have the genuine, original document, or its "fantasy interpretation" by some American professor of sociology?A completely disposable book! I don't think that there is a logical ordering of the material written by the one eye-witness of the Khmer Empire, but Murray's book which draws heavily on that hodgepodge builds to a consideration of the base of Khmer society and art: harvests of rice and how the surplus was depleted over time.Although there are many books of beautiful pictures of the ruins, and the intriguing mathematical/astronomical analysis of the great temple of Angkor Wat, Murray's book is the best available account of what the society that built the temples was like.If the previous reviewer knows of some important new breaktrhoughs in understanding SOCIAL LIFE he or she should specify what it is. A book published in 1996 was presumably written in 1995, but I am not aware of any new archaeological interpretations of the Khmer Empire.
