The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus The Christ


Levi H. Dowling - 1908
    It covers his travels and meetings with various masters and holy men in countries like India, Egypt, Assyria, Greece and Tibet. It also teaches many deeper truths not found in other books and sometimes clarifies or reinforces known teachings in the Bible. Includes chapters on Mary his mother, John the Harbinger, much on his travels and teachings, his betrayal, trail, execution and resurrection, plus a chapter on the materialization of his spiritual body. Said to have been retrieved from the �Akashic Records�, this popular gospel may not be historically accurate in its entirety, but the truths in its teachings are timeless.

Western Asia in the Days of Sargon of Assyria


Albert T. Olmstead - 1908
    Sargon II became co-regent with Shalmaneser V in 722 BC, and became the sole ruler of the kingdom of Assyria in 722 BC after the death of Shalmaneser V. It is not clear whether he was the son of Tiglath-Pileser III or a usurper unrelated to the royal family. In his inscriptions, he styles himself as a new man, rarely referring to his predecessors; however he took the name Sharru-kinu ("true king"), after Sargon of Akkad, who had founded the first Semitic Empire in the region some 16 centuries earlier. The nine chapters of Western Asia in the Days of Sargon of Assyria covers the history of Sargon II’s reign. A table of contents is included for easier navigation.
