        The Imperial Kiln Gold Brick

        by Zhou Zhenlin, Jin jin

        Gold bricks produced by the imperial kiln in Suzhou in eastern Jiangsu Province are not actually made of gold. The smooth, shiny bricks are big and square. They got their name from their quality, the tedious manufacturing process and the high cost involved. The bricks, which have long been used to build imperial palaces, are a specialty of Lumu, a small village near Yangcheng Lake in Suzhou. In the early 15th century when the Forbidden City began to be constructed, the bricks made in Lumu were recommended to the Ming government (1368-1644). Central government officials assigned to Lumu found the yellow earth in Lumu was especially good to make bricks. Besides the special material, the advanced firing technique and the strict firing procedures of the Lumu kiln also contributed to producing the high-quality gold bricks. Thus the Lumu kiln was named the Imperial Kiln by the Ming emperor.

        VOLVER A MASADA

        by Amnon Ben-Tor

        VOLVER A MASADA por Amnon Ben-Tor Este libro resume los ocho volúmenes de la serie de Informes finales de Masada que se han publicado hasta la fecha. Las excavaciones en el sitio bajo la dirección de Yigael Yadin en la década de 1960 revelaron el palacio-fortaleza herodiano, que fue el último bastión de los rebeldes judíos en su revuelta contra las poderosas legiones romanas entre los años 66 a 73 de la era cristiana. Según el testimonio del historiador contemporáneo Flavio Josefo, los defensores optaron por suicidarse antes que rendirse. Cientos de voluntarios de todo el mundo participaron en dichas excavaciones. Los capítulos cubren los restos arquitectónicos y pequeños hallazgos de la época de Herodes, de los celotes y del período romano, las obras romanas durante el sitio y restos del período bizantino. En las excavaciones se encontraron miles de objetos, incluidos manuscritos. Masada no es solo un sitio arqueológico, sino también un símbolo, principalmente, pero no exclusivamente para los modernos israelíes. Esto se refleja en los cientos de miles de visitantes que acuden cada año de todos los rincones del mundo. En 2001, Masada fue declarado por la UNESCO como Patrimonio de la Humanidad. El capítulo final del libro examina el así llamado "mito de Masada" a la luz de la evidencia arqueológica y evalúa las recientes críticas de la metodología y de las conclusiones históricas de los excavadores de Masada en vista de sus resultados reales. Amnon Ben-Tor, profesor emérito de la Cátedra Yigael Yadin de Arqueología de la Tierra de Israel en el Instituto de Arqueología de la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén, fue miembro del equipo de Yadin en las excavaciones de Masada. Estudió arqueología e historia judía en la Universidad Hebrea, donde se doctoró en 1968 y enseñó hasta 2004. Paralelamente, participó en excavaciones en diversos sitios en Israel, incluido un estudio regional del área occidental del Valle de Jezreel, en los sitios de Tel Kiri, Tel Kashish y Yokneam. Desde 1990 dirige las excavaciones en Hatzor de la Fundación Selz en memoria de Yigael Yadin. 25×19 cm, 320 páginas, edición en tapas duras, muchas fotos e ilustraciones.
