History (Arts & Humanities) - September 2007

I need some websites that I can get some information on this topic. the topic is "Was the story of the native Americans exclusively one of oppression and exploitation, or is there more to the story than that? how did they adapt to their world before the arrival of the Europeans, and what were some of the ways they reacted to the Europeans?"

I really need some help. I tried Google so don't suggest that. I did not find very much there.

Did the King Solomon worship the Jewish Jehovah, or the Babylonian Astarte?

I was reading about the recent archaeological discovery of a beekeeping industry in the Beit Shean Valley in Israel, dating from 3000 years ago or so. Which just so happens (I think) to be around the time of King Solomon.

The beekeeping = honey ... which led me to muse on Moses’ enticing prospectus in Exodus about Canaan being “a land flowing with milk and honey”.

So, then I began to read about the association of ideas involved in this “flowing with milk and honey” hyperbole in the Ancient World. And, lo and behold, all of a sudden I’m back to Solomon and Astarte (or “Ashtoreth” in the Bible). Because, it seems, the “flowing with milk and honey” phrase could have had sexual connotations for the Ancient Semites; and could have been particularly associated with that earth-mother type goddess, Astarte.

This is one of those situations where a little reading becomes a dangerous thing. Can anyone set me straight, please?

What is The Best Invention of All Time?

I think it would be the printing press by Guttenberg. Now books and the power of reading were available to the masses. Societies went from illiterate to literate.

Without it, knowledge would not have been preserved and passed on and accumulated, and all other inventions/developments would not have occurred.
