Holt sets out to rediscover the ancient civilization of Bactria. In a gripping narrative informed by the author's deep knowledge of his subject, this book covers two centuries of Bactria's history, from its colonization by remnants of Alexander the Great's army to the kingdom's collapse at the time of a devastating series of nomadic invasions. Beginning with the few tantalizing traces left behind when the 'empire of a thousand cities' vanished, Holt takes up that trail and follows the remarkable and sometimes perilous journey of rediscovery.Lost World of the Ancient King describes how a single bit of evidence-a Greek coin-launched a search that drew explorers to the region occupied by the tumultuous warring tribes of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Afghanistan. Coin by coin, king by king, the history of Bactria was reconstructed using the emerging methodologies of numismatics. In the twentieth century, extraordinary ancient texts added to the evidence. Finally, one of the 'thousand cities' was discovered and excavated, revealing an opulent palace, treasury, temple, and other buildings. Though these great discoveries soon fell victim to the Afghan political crisis that continues today, this book provides a thrilling chronicle of the search for one of the world's most enigmatic empires. 410 0$aHellenistic Culture and Society 606 $aGreeks$zAfghanistan$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCoins, Greek$zBactria 606 $aCoins, Greek$zAfghanistan 607 $aBactria$xCivilization 607 $aBactria$xAntiquities 607 $aAfghanistan$xCivilization 607 $aAfghanistan$xAntiquities 610 $a18th century afghanistan. 610 $a19th century afghanistan. 610 $aadventure. 610 $aafghan political crisis. 610 $aalexander the great. 610 $aancient civilization of bactria. 610 $aancient history. 610 $aarchaeological evidence. 610 $aarchaeological mysteries. 610 $aarcheology. 610 $aasian history. 610 $abooks for history lovers. 610 $aeasy to read. 610 $aeducational books. 610 $aengaging. 610 $ahellenistic coins. 610 $ahistorical discoveries. 610 $ahistoriography. 610 $ahistory of bactria. 610 $ahistory of empires. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aleisure reads. 610 $amost powerful empires ever. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apage turner. 610 $atravel and discovery. 610 $awhat is bactria. 615 0$aGreeks$xHistory 615 0$aCoins, Greek 615 0$aCoins, Greek 676 $a939/.6 700 $aHolt$b Frank Lee$0171564 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791932103321 996 $aLost world of the golden king$93690033 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03998nam 22006855 450 001 9910255210403321 005 20230810191518.0 010 $a9783319570129 010 $a3319570129 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-57012-9 035 $a(CKB)3710000001632871 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4981700 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-57012-9 035 $a(Perlego)3497164 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001632871 100 $a20170821d2017 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Contemporary Islamic Governed State $eA Reconceptualization /$fby Joseph J.

Conclusion: Creating a New Discourse. 330 $aThis book offers a normative reconceptualization of a modern Islamic governed state. First, Joseph Kaminski surveys the historical context of the trajectory of Islamic thought, and offers a unique discursive framework for reconceptualizing an Islamic governed state that rejects secular Enlightenment liberalism and instead is heavily grounded in Ancient Greek ideals of politics and political leadership. Despite heavily borrowing from Greek thought, the model offered remains firmly rooted in a Shari'ah-based, discursive ontological framework. The volume explores topics of bureaucracy, law, democracy, women in politics, and economic justice. Further, this volume presents case studies from Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, and Malaysia, and utilizes the presented theoretical framework as a lens for analysis. . 410 0$aPalgrave Series in Islamic Theology, Law, and History,$x2945-6703 606 $aIslam$xDoctrines 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aEthnology$zMiddle East 606 $aCulture 606 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 606 $aIslamic Theology 606 $aPolitical Theory 606 $aHistory of the Middle East 606 $aMiddle Eastern Culture 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics 615 0$aIslam$xDoctrines. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aMiddle East$xHistory. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aMiddle East$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aIslamic Theology. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aHistory of the Middle East. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Culture. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 676 $a320.917671 700 $aKaminski$b Joseph J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0926604 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255210403321 996 $aThe Contemporary Islamic Governed State$92080755 997 $aUNINA
