Ancient Art Revisited

Ancient Art Revisited develops new perspectives on ancient art by weaving together diverse strands within archaeology and art history, exploring it through recent developments in archaeological theory. In order to foster dialogue among various subfields, contributors are drawn from a wide range of domains. Classical archaeology, Aegean prehistory, Near Eastern archaeology, Egyptology, Pre-Columbian South America, and North America are brought together to explore ancient art from multiscalar perspectives and through the lenses of entanglement theory, network thinking, assemblage theory, and other recent theoretical developments. Representing a new wave in research on ancient art, considering both the proximal and distributed operations of artworks, Ancient Art Revisited provides broad and inclusive coverage of ancient art and offers a cohesive approach to a fragmented area of study. This book will be suitable for archaeologists, anthropologists, and art historians wishing to understand the latest thinking on ancient art.

Do you want to learn more about the marvelous, magical tools our ancestors used to help maintain and heal their bodies? Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is one such tool. The practice dates back to before the time of Christ and unleashes spiritual wisdom and life force energy. It may have begun in Tibet, India, or Egypt, but it has spread throughout the world, and for good reason. Reiki harnesses life-force energy to promote deep relaxation on mental, physical, and emotional levels; assist the body in its own innate healing process; and encourage the release of disease on all levels. Reiki: An Ancient Healing Art Revisited offers information on the history and precepts of Reiki. You can use this background to learn to use spirit-guided life-force energy for healing and maintenance; become a Reiki therapist and share healing energy with friends, family, clients, and pets; and use Reiki to achieve your desires and goals. Put Reiki and its techniques to use as soon as possible. With a longtime practitioner as your guide, you can change your life with Reiki: An Ancient Healing Art Revisited.
