this monument in modern day Wiltshire, England has left people with a mystery. The large stone circle, called the Stonehenge, astonishes scientists with how such a large scale construction was able to be pulled off within the Neolithic Period and Bronze age. It is one of the seven wonders of the world, and nobody knows what the reason for building it was. After reviewing the evidence found from the Stonehenges, they were most likely used for a feasting site, an astronomical calendar, a healing…

by numerous waves of colonization during the Archaic Greek through Roman periods (c. 750BCE-AD400). Frequent voyages over land and sea meant that different social groups were beginning to interacting with one another. One group that ushered in an age of colonization in the Mediterranean region were the Greeks, who prior to exploration were cultivators of the land (Wilson, 2006:27). However, because their homeland was mountainous prime regions for farming were not abundant and many Greeks…

years, as humans we have constantly built monuments and structures with different purposes. I am going to concentrate on why monuments such as Stonehenge and Avebury may have been built, and how they may have been used in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, when these monuments were often built in clusters of similar topographic location (Richards 1996, 190). I am going to explore the possibilities of their social, religious and scientific purpose. To do this, I will analyse a variety of…

The Bible narrative story I chose was Joshua 2:1-24. The Bible story is about a woman named Rahab. The Bible story begins when Joshua secretly sends two spies to go to the land of Jericho. When the two spies got to Jericho they entered a house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there.

prehistoric society buried their cremated dead. (Greaney, n.d.) The unique lintelled stone circle with its massive sarsens and tinier bluestones were raised in the late Neolithic era around 2500 BC. Stonehenge remained significant into the early Bronze Age, when many burial mounds were built nearby and used. (Greaney, n.d.)…

The Shang and Zhou dynasty coexisted and originated in China, around the Yellow / Huang He river in the Bronze era ( 1,700 bce ) and went on to exist for nearly 2,000 more years. Though these Dynasties weren’t in perfect peace and harmony with one another, they shared similar values and working methods in which made the two opposing dynasties very similar. Each pillar (social, political, interaction with the environment, cultural, and economics) had it’s own way of showing through in it’s time…

The Stela of Iykhernofret is an artefact that dates back to the Middle Kingdom. It contains an autobiography of an official named Iykhernofret, who lived during the reigns of Senwosret III and Amenemhet III in the end of the Twelfth Dynasty.

It is home to a necropolis – a vast burial site – in which the pharaohs from the Early Dynastic Period were buried.…
