World history maniac

World history maniac history is a science is no less and more. Toynbee. It examines history from a global perspective.

World history or global history (not to be confused with diplomatic, transnational or international history) is a field of historical study that emerged centuries ago, with leaders such as Voltaire, Hegel, Karl Marx and Arnold J. The field became much more active in terms of university teaching, text books, scholarly journals, and academic associations in the late 20th century. It is not to be con

fused with comparative history, which, like world history, deals with the history of multiple cultures and nations, but does not do so on a global scale. World history looks for common patterns that emerge across all cultures. World historians use a thematic approach, with two major focal points: integration (how processes of world history have drawn people of the world together) and difference (how patterns of world history reveal the diversity of the human experiences).

Newly discovered statues of the Hindu god Vanar at the Panchmukhi Hanuman Mandir, situated in the Solider Bazar area of Karachi.
Panchmukhi Hanuman Mandir in the port city’s Soldier Bazar area is said to be at least 1,500 years oldStatues of major Hindu deities were discovered during expansion work at the temple last week

KARACHI: Last week, during expansion work at an ancient Hindu temple in Pakistan’s port city of Karachi, caretakers discovered a rare treasure: up to three-hundred-year-old statues of the Hindu deities Hanuman, Ganesh Bhagwan, Shri Mata, Vanar and Shiva Linga.
A reflection of the diverse history and culture of the South Asian country, the Panchmukhi Hanuman Mandir in Karachi’s Soldier Bazar area is said to be at least 1,500 years old and was declared a national heritage under the Sindh Cultural Heritage (Preservation) Act 1994. The temple holds special significance as the only shrine in the world that houses what Hindus believe to be a divinely-revealed statue of Hanuman that is not man-made.
Expansion works at the 2,600-square-feet property first began in 2006 but resumed this year, leading to the discovery of the new statues.

Hanuman Gadha found during an excavation in Sri Lanka.
This picture claims to show the Hindu God Hanuman’s Gadha (mace), supposedly discovered during an excavation in Sri Lanka. Other versions said it is the world’s largest Gada of Veer Hanuman discovered in Gujarat. The claims are not true. It actually shows a 45 feet Gada replica for installation on a 125-foot-high Hanuman statue on the outskirts of Indore, India on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti (birthday) on 25 April 2013.

Archaeologists and conservators from Jamestown Rediscovery have begun to analyze a tombstone that has lain within iterations of the church at Jamestown for centuries. They believe the stone, which features the silhouette of a knight, belongs to Sir George Yeardley, a three-time colonial governor of Virginia, who died in 1627. Originally found in 1901 by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, the tombstone was broken into multiple pieces and is missing original monumental brasses that could definitively identify the deceased. However, the claim that it is Yeardley is bolstered by evidence from the will of a relative, Adam Thorowgood, which dates to 1680. Hayden Bassett, assistant curator, says that Thorowgood’s will states that he would like to have a tombstone of marble set forth with the coat of arms of Sir George Yeardley and himself, with the same inscription as on the broken tomb. “We believe that might be a reference to this particular tomb,” adds Bassett. According to Mary Anna Richardson, staff archaeologist, and William Kelso, director of research and interpretation, efforts to analyze Yeardley’s tombstone will be followed by an archaeological survey of the church’s chancel, slated for fall 2017, in the hope of uncovering Yeardley’s actual remains. An exhibit marking the 400th anniversary of the first representative assembly meeting in Virginia, which began in 1619 under Yeardley’s governorship, is planned for 2019.

A LARGE TREASURE HOARD DEPOSITED IN A CERAMIC JAR HAS BEEN UNCOVERED NEAR THE VILLAGE OF ZANIÓWKA IN THE LUBLIN VOIVODESHIP, POLAND.
The discovery was made by detectorist, Michał Łotys, who was surveying farmland for pieces of agricultural equipment accidently lost in the topsoil.
In Poland, it is forbidden to conduct an amateur search for artefacts using a metal detector, either for commercial or for personal use unless licensed by local authorities, requiring all finds to be reported which become the property of the state.
An inspection by archaeologists suggests that the coins were intentionally deposited in a ceramic jar in layer of subsoil, which contains 1,000 crowns and Lithuanian schillings from the 17th century.

The total hoard weighs 3kg and consists of layers of compressed coins in the jar, 115 coins which have been dispersed through agricultural activity, 62 heavily oxidised coins and several pieces of fabric.
During the 17th century the region was part of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, which was subject to a series of invasions by Russo-Cossack forces in 1655, and Sweden in 1656 – a period known as the “Deluge”.

The hoard has been transferred for further study at the Archaeology Department of the Museum of Southern Podlasie, in Biała Podlaska.

Why the hoard was purposely buried is yet to be determined. Hoards can be considered an indicator of unrest, often due to periods of conflict or for were buried for financial security.

In Poland, it is forbidden to conduct an amateur search for artefacts using a metal detector, either for commercial or for personal use unless licensed by local authorities, requiring all finds to be reported which become the property of the state.

Mr Lotys notified the Provincial Office for the Protection of Monuments (WUOZ) in Lublin, as per the Protection and Care of Historical Monuments Act of 23 July 2003.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS FROM COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AND THE DENVER MUSEUM OF NATURE & SCIENCE (DMNS) HAVE UNCOVERED A CEREMONIAL HALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOCHE CULTURE, CONTAINING 1,400-YEAR-OLD MURALS DEPICTING TWO-FACED FIGURES.
The Moche culture, also known as the Mochica culture, is an ancient Andean civilisation that flourished from the 1st to the 8th century AD on the northern coast of Peru. The name is taken from the great site of Moche, in the river valley of the same name, which appears to have been the capital or chief city of the Moche civilisation.

Excavations conducted at the archaeological site of Pañamarca, an architectural complex constructed between AD 550-800 in the Peruvian Ancash region’s lower Nepeña Valley, have revealed adobe walls decorated with 1,400-year-old murals.

A member of the Pazyryk culture, a nomadic Scythian people who once roamed the mountainous terrain where present-day Russia, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia meet, was buried nearly 2,500 years ago with a textile featuring a rich tableau of lotus buds, deer, and cross-shaped figures. The textile, which measures roughly six feet on a side and was woven with more than 1,250,000 knots, is the world’s oldest known pile carpet. Since it was discovered preserved under a layer of permafrost in 1947, researchers have marveled at the carpet’s enduring hues of yellow, blue, and red.



A team of scientists led by Andreas Späth and Rainer Fink from Germany’s Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg recently attempted to figure out how Pazyryk artisans or their trading partners produced such intense colors. They experimented with a method of fermenting wool before dyeing it. “The microorganisms that grow during fermentation eat up fat layers between the cuticle scales in wool fibers,” says Späth. He explains that these fat layers block the diffusion of most natural pigments into the fibers. When the fat layers are gone, that diffusion is strongly enhanced. The team was able to observe this effect using a high-resolution X-ray microscope on both the wool fibers they dyed in their experiment and those from a tiny sample of the Pazyryk carpet, suggesting that the fermentation technique was used to create the carpet’s dazzling colors.

A team of excavators led by Egyptologist Zahi Hawass has uncovered the city where the people who worked in the temples of ancient Egypt’s New Kingdom–era spiritual center at Luxor lived. The city’s ancient name was “the dazzling Aten,” a reference to a newly ascendant solar god. The team found a large bakery that may have been used to feed workers, as well as an administrative and residential district that was surrounded by a zigzag wall, a rare architectural style for the time. The walls’ mud bricks bear the seal of the pharaoh Amenhotep III (r. ca. 1390–1352 B.C.), who conducted an ambitious building program at Luxor.
