JOURNEYS IN REALITY. COME STROLL WITH US AT YOUR OWN PACE
OUR LEARNING LECTURES AND COMMUNITY.
A JOURNEY THROUGH ANCIENT AND MEDIVAL SUNLIGHT
When you join and enter the CLASSROOM you will find a series of adventures awaiting. It can appear a little daunting at the start but let's break it down. E copies of the textbook " Introduction to the Study of Numismatics" and of the book "Artifacts of Empire Part I" will be provided as soon as possible. This is $30 value and even if on a monthly program you will still receive them.
1.Coins, Money, India and the Old Silk Road.
This is the main lecture series where you can work through our series of lectures based on our textbook.
The first simple lecture is the course on steroids and is for people who just wish a brief overview and no more. Here we present a series of lectures based on the book as a guide. We take you through all aspects of numismatics and introduce you to some science.
From here you can look at all the other modules but if you are interested in coins and numismatics there is one stream and another stream for Archaeology and Travel.
2.The Copper Coins of Akbar
The textbook has a special section on the copper coins of Akbar, chapters 29 and 30. But this is more. Because Tariq and Needham are preparing a major book on this, so collectors of these coins can help with adding data if they note we have made errors or they have new information.
3. The Rupees of Shah Alam I Bahadur
The book is written and in print and selling well. Now is the time to update it with any new finds. So we are looking for help.
4. The Coins of Jahandar Shah
The same situation as part 3 above.
5. The Coins of Aurangzeb
Time to put our basic information out there, ask for help and finish the book. A large and involved volume.
6. The Coins of Farrukhsiyar
The same as Aurangzeb.
7. The Coins of the Two Rafis
The same as above. Interesting coins from two short lived reigns.
8. The Coins of the Jaunpur Sultanat
The same as above. this is the first venture into Sultanat coinage. A wonderful exploration on highly collectable coins.
9. Ancient Roman and Byzantine Coins in India
This is the major research project for the Numismatics Foundation and our working team. Here we will work through a major research project with real archaeology happening right now and exploring in depth the discoveries made of coins Roman and Byzantine coins (and a few others) in various field sites as well as exploring old data. This is REAL archaeology with REAL archaeologists and REAL numismatists. Join in as we explore the finds. And please join in the discussion I guarantee this will get a little wild.
10. A Walk Through Ancient and Medieval Sunlight
Come with us as we stroll through some of the great archeological sites of India. This will be a visual experience through books (e books and beautiful coffee table types) with the music of Arthur Needham and ARMO. Here you will become a true EXPLORIST.
11. Journeys in Real Indian Archaeology
Led by archaeologist Shivam Dubey and his team we will journey to sites in India currently under review and research. Each site will have a book written about it and what is there and any new finds. Each book with be available as an ebook and as a hardback with dust jacket in full gloss and colour.
This is for those who love real archaeology in real time. So it is not exactly quick but enticing. Buying the books will help the team.
12. Artifacts of Empire
Here we meet our author Matthew and follow his progress through this long series. You will receive a real insight into how a working researcher goes about their work. This will include meetings online with Matthew and his support team. An interesting journey.
13. The Numismatics Foundation
The whole process is designed to help the Numismatic Foundation raise funds for its research work and to help buy equipment for the students it supports. The Foundation is fully registered and compliant in India as a Not-for-profit Company.
14. THE EXPLORIST Merchandise
We will link you to our merchandise page. A portion of funds raised under the banner THE EXPLORIST will help fund the Numismatics Foundation. All profits from Foundation merchandise go to the Foundation and all profits from authors other than Tariq and Needham go the authors.
Join in the fun of being an EXPLORIST by using the merchandise as we wander through ancient and medieval sites. A little bit of fun and little bit different.
