The Secret of the Hittites" returns to the startling panorama of the author's first book. Gods, Graves, and Scholars" in the continued examination of the most ancient world known to man. Since the publication of C. W. Ceram's famous first work, a new discovery of enormous significance transformed the perception of ancient history. The darkest archaeological riddle of the Orient is on the verge of an ultimate and improbable resolution. And this with dramatic suddenness in the space of a few momentous years. The mysterious ruins discovered in central Turkey in 1834 were perplexing. Yet no one was willing to ascribe them to the Hittites, a people given scant acknowledgement in the Bible and dismissed as a minor Syrian tribe. It was not until 1880 that a hero of archaeology advanced the dynamic theory that there had once been a mighty Hittite Empire stretching from the Black Sea to Damascus. By 1910, only archaeologists and historians had begun to gain a faint and fragile knowledge of its lost history. Furthermore. Only in the years since 1946 has there been any hope of reading the fantastic Hittite hieroglyphic inscriptions, and only recently has anyone actually done so.

Regal Red Garnet Emerald. ORIGIN: The Ural Mountains. Russia. 19th Century. CLASSIFICATION: Red Garnet Faceted Octagon. SIZE: Length: 9mm. Width: 6mm. Depth: 5mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: Approximately 2.03 carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Ancient Christians regarded the blood-red garnet to be symbolic of Christ’s blood sacrifice. According to ancient Hebrew mythology. A giant garnet provided interior lighting for Noah's Ark. It is also believed that garnet, described as“nopek” was one of the twelve gemstones described in the Bible in Exodus 28:17-20 as adorning Aaron’s breastplate, representing the twelve tribes of ancient Israel. Ancient cultures including the Celts, Greeks, Hebrews, Persians and Romans highly valued garnet. The ancient Persians regarded garnet as a royal stone, and only royalty was allowed to possess the gemstone. Most ancient Mediterranean populations believed that a garnet could give its wearer guidance in the night, allowing them to see when others could not. Here's a gorgeous. Richly textured, regally hued red faceted garnet gemstone from the Ural Mountains of Russia, where the production of garnet has gone on for many centuries. The gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. This particular variety of garnet is especially favored for its dark, regal, blood red tones. The gemstone is very clean, crystal clear, and exquisitely colored. It possesses great lustre, lots of flash, and at least to the eye, is essentially flawless. It is truly a gorgeously colored, brilliant, sparkling semi-precious gemstone.

Handcrafted in or near Yekaterinburg(Siberia) Russia. SIZE: Length: 30mm. Width: 24mm. Depth: 16mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 72.22 carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: Though Ametrine was known in the ancient world(the ancient source for ametrine was likely India via camel caravan through Persia) It first became famous in the modern world in the seventeenth century when a Spanish conquistador received it as a dowry when he married a South American Indian princess. Ametrine was subsequently introduced to Europe through the conquistador's gifts to the Spanish queen. You can think of Ametrine as a gemstone quality quartz crystal which when growing up could not decide whether it wanted to be an Amethyst or a Citrine, and so developed a“split personality” This is a very large. Very clean, handcrafted checkerboard faceted“old fashioned” also known as“cushion cut” ametrine semi-precious gemstone from the Anahi Mine in Bolivia. Exported to Russia for use in indigenous jewelry, the gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a Russian artisan, part of a centuries-long heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. Ametrine is actually very rare in nature, having both the manganese traces which produce amethyst’s purple, as well as the iron traces which produce citrine’s yellow. The crystals must then be exposed to a variable source of heat, such as might be the case when a crystal partly encased in rock is exposed on one surface to sun shine. Slowly a

The"Shah-nameb" or"Book of Kings" is Iran's central literary work, a historical epic peopled with monarchs. Monarchs some of inspiring goodness, others of unmatched wickedness. Also peopled with handsome paladins, beautiful maidens, malevolent witches, and treacherous demons. The particular manuscript of the"Shah-nameb" introduced here by Stuart Cary Welch, Curator of Indian and Islamic Painting at the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, is the most sumptuous one every produced. Containing scores of paintings where other sixteenth-century manuscripts contained perhaps a dozen. The Houghton"Shah-nameb" identified with the name of its owner, Arthur A.

Court artisans and craftsmen continued their work on the 759 folios for the better part of two decades. As a consequence, the book offers a fascinating mixture of artistic styles. The extraordinary quality of the paintings was known even in Shah Tahmasp's time. One commentator wrote then of Sultan Muhammad's page representing"The Court of Gayumars" the boldest painters hung their heads in shame before it" While that superb image.

CLASSIFICATION: Faceted“Antique Cut” Emerald. ORIGIN: The Ural Mountains(Siberia) Russia. 19th Century. SIZE: Length: 5mm. Width: 4mm. Depth: 3mm. All measurements approximate WEIGHT: 0.51 carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: During the Middle Ages an emerald amulet was believed to keep a woman chaste. Medieval shamans and magicians believed that emeralds enabled them to foretell future events if put on the tongue or worn on the left side of the body. Emeralds were also believed to reveal what was true or false. And to give eloquence in speech and make people more intelligent and honest. Worn as a talisman, emerald was regarded as a sure antidote for enchantments and spells, was believed to repel evil spirits, and it was believed that a high quality emerald would change hues to alert the wearer to impending danger. In many medieval legends of King Arthur, the Holy Grail(the cup used to catch Christ’s blood at the crucifixion) is described as being fashioned from a large emerald. In the Renaissance medical practitioners ground up emerald with laudanum, an opium derivative, as a medicine for certain fevers and ailments. Here's a very nice. Near eye clean, beautifully colored natural emerald precious gemstone from the Southern Urals of(Siberia) Russia. The gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. Emeralds are nearly 100 times rarer than diamonds, and there are few opportunities to acquire good quality natural emeralds at reasonable prices. The best specimens can bring over $40,000 a carat.
