Описание: Money, currency, capital, credit. It has many names but only one use: our tool for exchange. And as important as money is, it's unfortunately not well understood by most people, to their peril. As representative of the actual value of things in the world, money has no value in itself-the value of money is "borrowed" from the potential things that can be purchased with it. And because there is so much in the world, and so many different people, you would think that money would be as diverse and adjustable as the agreements we make with one another every day. But it's not. Government currencies like the dollar and the euro are one-dimensional, outdated vehicles for wealth. There's so much more potential inherent within the concept of currency, and many are waking up to it. Change is coming to money, and fast. New tools like Bitcoin show us that technology can change the way we think about money. With amazing new ideas and conventions are new questions, like: What is value? What is wealth? Are these things fully captured by modern money, or could it be better? What if everyone had a currency? What if they already do? Welcome to the future of money.

Описание: A study of the material culture of Egypt during the period of Achaemenid Persian rule, c. 526-404 BCE
Read the blog post 'How to Find Persians in Egypt: The Archaeology of Achaemenid Egypt'
Provides a clear overview of the archaeological evidence for Achaemenid Egypt, including temples, tombs, irrigation works, statues, stelae, seals and coins
Demonstrates how different types of evidence, both textual and archaeological - including material of uncertain provenance - can be used to address a single historical question
Offers critical discussion of the dating criteria used by archaeologists for Egyptian Late Period material
Elucidates strategies used by the Persians to establish and maintain control of Egypt
Examines how these strategies may have affected the lives of people living in Egypt during the 27th Dynasty
Creates a new explanatory model for the introduction of coinage to ancient Egypt
Previous studies have characterised Achaemenid rule of Egypt either as ephemeral and weak or oppressive and harsh. These characterisations, however, are based on the perceived lack of evidence for this period, filtered through ancient and modern preconceptions about the Persians.
Henry Colburn challenges these views by assembling and analyzing the archaeological remains from this period, including temples, tombs, irrigation works, statues, stelae, sealings, drinking vessels and coins. By looking at the decisions made about material culture - by Egyptians, Persians and others - it becomes possible to see both how the Persians integrated Egypt into their empire and the full range of experiences people had as a result.
