Founding Director AA VVooyyaaggee TThhrroouugghh HHiissttoorryy By Garrett Fagan What do the ancient Greek doctor Hippocrates, the Knights of St. John, and the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World have in common? Well, this: we’ll be visiting sites connected with all three on the wonderful Voyage Through History tour. Traveling on a private yacht – a traditional Turkish wooden boat called a gulet – we visit four Greek islands and various sites dotting the spectacular southwestern coast of Turkey. Among the Greek islands where we stop is Kos, closely associated with the healing god Asklepios and birthplace of Hippocrates, the originator of rational medicine. Whereas the cult of Asklepios involved healing by means of divine visions combined with remedial regimens prescribed by priests, Hippocrates pioneered the close observation and documentation of patients’ symptoms, insisting that illness stemmed from natural, not supernatural sources. With this Travel with Professor Fagan on insistence, medical treatment started its long march from Voyage through History , ancient supersition to its modern, scientific form.

The Colossus stood for a mere 54 years of spectacular sites with dramatic histories – places like before it collapsed in an earthquake and lay there, broken at Myra, Xanthos, and Telmessos – with plenty of options for the knees, as a tourist attraction until an Arab merchant carted swimming in the azure waters of the eastern Aegean. it away for scrap in the 7th century CE. History has never been so alluring! 2 • www.farhorizons.com Reported by Nick Card, The Ness of Brodgar Excavations, Project Manager Orkney, Scotland Described as one of the most important Neolithic discoveries in the last 50 years, the award winning Photo by Hugo Anderson Whymark excavations at the Ness of Brodgar, Orkney, Scotland are revealing a unique 5,000 year old Neolithic temple complex. Situated in the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site, the Ness is surrounded by several iconic prehistoric monuments: the stone circles of the Ring of Brodgar and the Stones of Stenness, and Maeshowe, the finest chambered tomb in Europe. Ongoing work each summer by the Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology has uncovered a large walled precinct enclosing several monumental decorated stone buildings, representing some of the oldest architecture in Europe and rivalling the famous temples in Malta. An equally impressive assemblage of Neolithic decorated pottery, art and polished stone tools compliment these structures. These discoveries are challenging many of our perceptions of Neolithic life – and yet less than 10% of the site has so far been investigated – what wonders still await discovery! The excavations can be followed on www.orkneyjar.com/archaeology/ nessofbrodgar/ or through the American Friends of the Ness of Brodgar on Facebook. Visit the Ness of Brodgar as a special guest of Nick Card on Far Horizons’ trip to Scotland, August 2 - 17, 2014.

  • Estudio Sobre Armas De Guerra Y Caza En El Área Centro-Andina
    Arqueología y Sociedad Nº 27, 2014: 297-338 ISSN: 0254-8062 Recibido: enero de 2014 Aceptado: mayo de 2014 ESTUDIO SOBRE ARMAS DE GUERRA Y CAZA EN EL ÁREA CENTRO-ANDINA. DESCRIPCIÓN Y USO DE LAS ARMAS DE ESTOCADA Y DE TAJO Vincent Chamussy Investigador asociado al CNRS – Universidad de París I [email protected] RESUMEN Todos los tipos de armas no fueron utilizados de la misma manera ni en el mismo momento durante la prehistoria del área centro-andina. Las armas arrojadizas servían principalmente para la caza. Las armas de estocada han sido armas de guerra por excelencia y la lucha cuerpo a cuerpo, la forma de combate predilecta. Arma de combate temible, la maza siempre ha simbolizado el poder y el prestigio; asimismo, entre las armas de corte, el hacha se convirtió en el arma de sacrificio conocida como tumi, mientras que el cuchillo se volvió puñal. PALABRAS CLAVE: Andes, armas, guerra, caza, instrumento, símbolo. ABSTRACT All types of weapons were not used in the same way and at the same time during the prehistory of the Cen- tral Andean Area. Throwing weapons have been used mainly for hunting and ritual. Thrusting weapons have been war weapons par excellence, and hand to hand fight the preferred type of fight. Among thrus- ting weapons, the club, although dreadful in action, always symbolized power and prestige, while among cutting weapons, the axe became the tool of sacrifice called tumi, whereas the knife became the dagger. KEYWORDS: Andes, warfare, weapons, hunting, tool, symbol. Las armas ofensivas pueden ser clasificadas en tres categorías: las armas de «estocada», las armas «de corte» —cortantes y afiladas—, así como las armas arrojadizas.
