Relevant subjects: Mesopotamia, Iran, Anatolia, Journals Near East., 0, Paperback / softback. New. The preeminent scholar of comparative studies of Indo-European society, Georges Dum zil theorized that ancient and prehistoric Indo-European culture and literature revolved around three major functions: sovereignty, force, and fertility. This work treats these functions as they are articulated through &quot;first king&quot; legends found in Indian, Iranian, and Celtic epics, particularly the Mahabharata. Dum zil, drawing on an extraordinarily broad range of Indo-European sources from Scandinavia to India and offering an original and provocative analytic method, set a new agenda for studies in comparative oral literature, historical linguistics, comparative mythology, and history of religions. The Destiny of a King examines one of the &quot;little&quot; epics within the Mahabharata-the legend of King Yayati, a distant ancestor of the Pandavas, the heroes of the larger epic. Dum zil compares Yayati's attributes and actions with those of the legendary Celtic king Eochaid Feidlech and also finds striking similarities in the stories surrounding the daughters of these two kings, the Indian Madhavi and the Celtic Medb. When he compares these two traditions with the &quot;first king&quot; legends from Iran, he finds such common themes as the apportionment of the earth and the &quot;sin of the sovereign.&quot, 6, New York: Columbia University, 1908.

[ED: Paperback], [PU: Thames & Hudson], The best-preserved mummies in the world are not found in Egypt or Peru but in the museums of Xinjiang, the westernmost province of modern China. For thousands of years the occupants of the barren wastes and oases that would later become the Silk Road buried their dead in the desiccating sands of the Taklamakan, the second greatest desert on earth. This arid environment, preserving body and clothing, allows an unparalleled glimpse into the lives and appearance of a prehistoric people. While the mummies lie mute, their faces eloquently challenge modern scholars to identify them. For these are not the faces of ancient Chinese but rather those of Indo-Europeans who settled in the Tarim Basin on the western rim of ancient China some four millennia ago, 2,000 years before West and East recognized each other's existence. This intriguing study describes the discovery of these people of ancient China and reveals the latest attempts of Chinese and Western scientists to explain their origin and determine their ethnic identity. The book examines the clues left by physical remains; their economy, technology, and textiles (some of the mummies even wore tartans); and the later traces of the languages of the Tarim region.
