Gutes Ex. - ISSN 0043-8243. - Englisch. - Michael Jansen (* 29. Januar 1947 in Koserow; † 13. Juli 2022 in Samarkand) war ein deutscher Architekturhistoriker und Archäologe. … (wiki) // Mohenjo-Daro … ist eine historische stadtähnliche Siedlung am Unterlauf des Indus im heutigen Pakistan ca. 40 km südlich der Stadt Larkana. Sie war ungefähr von 2600 bis 1800 v. Chr. Teil der Indus-Kultur. Sie zeigt keine der üblichen Herrschaftsstrukturen; zentraler Bau ist ein Bad. Der Ort wurde verlassen und geriet danach in Vergessenheit, erst 1922 (andere Quellen: 1924) wurde er von britisch-indischen Archäologen wiederentdeckt. Geleitet wurden diese Ausgrabungen von Sir John Marshall, dem damaligen Direktor des Archaeological Survey of India. Verbunden mit den Ausgrabungen um 1950 ist der Name Sir Mortimer Wheeler. Mohenjo-Daro ist besser erhalten als das wenige Jahre vorher gefundene Harappa. Mohenjo-Daro ist das vermutete Hauptzentrum der Harappa- oder Induskultur, einer der drei frühen Hochkulturen der Menschheit im 3. Jahrtausend v. Chr. Der Name bedeutet im modernen Sindhi "Hügel der Toten". Mohenjo-Daro steht als die größte erhaltene Stadt der Bronzezeit auf der Liste des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes. Der Ruinenhügel ist in der Ebene schon von weitem zu erkennen. Die westlich der Unterstadt gelegene Zitadelle (ein späterer Bau) ragt am höchsten - bis zu 15 Meter - empor. Vor 4500 Jahren muss das Bild noch eindrucksvoller gewesen sein, da der Indus die Ebene seit dieser Zeit um mehr als 7 Meter aufgeschwemmt hat. … (wiki) // … therefore, that an average catchment radius of a mere 25m per well has been estimate for Mohenjo-Daro on the strength of the available data. If this figure is applied by extension to the entire built-up area, including the unexcavated sectors, then Mohenjo-Daro must have been serviced by at least 700 wells, with an average frequency of on. in every third house (Fig. 2). Needless to say, a water supply network on this scale within the actual city itself was unheard of at this period. Contemporary Egyptians and Mesopotamians, for instance. had to make do with fetching water bucket-by-bucket from the river and then storing it in tanks at home in the city until needed. Apart from the very fact of knowing about a vertical water supply System, which could conceivably have occurred to the Harappans through their experience in extracting potter's clay from deep pits, it was, by any Standards, a considerable technical accomplishment to install them within the urban area and to line them with wedge-shaped bricks in circular form. And yet, although they were obviously familiar with the circle as statically the Optimum structural form to withstand lateral pressure. it did not occur to the Harappans to go one step further and halve such a brick cylinder. tilt it 90 degrees, and thus invent the true barrel vault. As far as we know, the corbel vault was the only structural device used by the Harappans to bridge larger openings in brick masonry, e.g. for covering drains and roofing doorways. Naturally such a densely populated city as Mohenjo-Daro could not have survived long in a semi-arid climate without an independent water supply of its own. … (180)

Very Good English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In Turkish. 61 p. First and only Turkish Edition of Muhammad Iqbal of Lahore's 'Armughan of Hijaz' printed in 1938 firstly was a philosophical poetry book of Allama Iqbal, the great poet - philosopher of Islam. This work, published a few months after the poet's death, is a fairly small volume containing verses in both Persian and Urdu. It is incomplete, although this is not readily apparent to the reader; for Iqbal left some gaps in the book which he intended to fill when he made the pilgrimage to Mecca. The title means "Gift from the Hijaz." He had long wished to undertake the journey to the Arabian Peninsula to perform the Hajj and to visit the tomb of Muhammad, but was prevented from doing so by continuous illness during the last years of his life. Iqbal began composing the Armaghan as a gift to take to the Hijaz, intending to publish it on his return to India as a "Gift from the Hijaz" to his countrymen. In this, his last work, we find the poet more withdrawn and introspective than previously. The poems are shorter and more personal. The impression left is that the author is taking a last look at the world around him before leaving it behind. The themes are largely the familiar ones, but the treatment is as fresh, forceful and delicate as ever. Iqbal's outspokenness, even when addressing God, in criticizing human evils and in his hatred of injustice and oppression and his devotion to Muhammad and his companions, all remain undiminished. As a summing-up of the ideas and feelings of a great thinker, the Armaghan merits a special place among the literary classics of the twentieth century. It is divided into two parts, the first containing Persian, the second Urdu poems. The Persian verses, all in ruba'i form, are divided into five groups and presents God the Truth, Muhammad, the Muslim nation, Mankind and the "Companions on the Path to God." The second part comprises Urdu poems composed between 1935 and the time of his death and include a poem describing the ideological confusion of the poet's time and its impact on Muslims. In this work, Iqbal touches on practically every question with which he had been preoccupied during his life of intellectual striving and literary achievement. The poems which comprise this final work give the impression that the writer has at last found the tranquility he had for so long sought: 'The song that has gone may come again - or may not. A fresh breeze may come from Hijaz - or may not. The days of this poor humble man are ended; Another knower of secrets may come - or may not.'.
Fine English Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. [xvi], 246 p. The Turkish War of Independence and the Independencce Struggle of the South Asian muslims: The Khilafat movement, (1919-1924). Translated from Turkish by Oya Akgönenç Mughisuddin. In the early part of the 20th century, both South Asian muslims and the Anatolian muslims were suffering from cruelty and pain inflicted by the foreign powers in collaboration with the non-Muslim populations in the two regions. Both the muslim Turks and the South Asian muslims were suffering agonies in the lands where they were or had been the 'Ruling Nations'. Between the years 1919-1924, Turkey, with a great deal of human and material sacrifices, managed to remain an independent country. In the same period, the South Asian muslims set their course firmly toward freedom and independence. During his historical period, Islam linked the two countries together, Islam was not just a common belief but a philosophy that gave birth and substance to the struggle for independence. Thus, the Turks and the South Asian muslims were joined together by the common struggle for freedom concelved and nurtured by the Islamic factor. This study concentrates on the Khilafat Movemenet in South Asia. Those activities of the Khilafat Movement that coincided with Turkish interest had been highlighted in the study. Also, the role of Islam in the struggle for freedom in South Asia and Islam's role (if any) in the Turkish struggle for independence will be discussed and analyzed in this book.
