    Daily Life In Ancient Egpyt Summary

    In this critique of Kasia Szpakowska’s book, Daily Life in Ancient Egpyt, I am going to discuss her purpose, my likes and dislikes, her use of images, and how I felt this book related to this course. Daily Life in Ancient Egypt was an excellent choice for this course. The information supplements the in-class lectures by providing sufficient information into the life of the mundane versus the life of the rulers and pharaohs. It provides information that is clear and concise so the reader doesn’t have to dissect the information and gains a clear understanding of real life for the Ancient Egyptians. In addition, this book is a good reference for other classes in ancient civilizations as well as a reference for those of us who are going on to teach…

It is not clear whether this observation is based on either how the river is in these day or how the river used to be. One might wonder if the river was less deep and dangerous in the past due to in other ages the whether could benefit the native to cross the river without using boats. Extreme cold or highest degrees of hot weather could allow Palean people to go over the river. In the former case, walking over the ice and in the latter case, the river could even not exist.…

This theory, she puts forward is supported by many facts; most of which can be traced through historical sources and the archaeological record. In the case of the “Ludovisi…

    Herodotus Influences

    The first literary art form regarding the preservation of historical events can be traced back to accent Grease, and more specifically Herodotus. Author of The Croesus Logos, Herodotus founded the significant notion of writing down human events, in hopes of preventing them from being erased with time. Establishing a milestone of such immensity in 440BC has left Herodotus named the “Father of History”. The impact caused by breaking from Homeric tradition, and instead regarding events though a process of investigation and facts, leaves a lasting influence on classics to come. These influences can be seen though the writings of Caesar, written almost four hundred years after the publication of The Croesus Logos.…

    The Fate Of The Temple Of Athena On The Acropolis

    The Persian sack of Athens in 480 B.C.E. has left modern archeologist perplexed as to what it meant for the fate of the temple of Athena on the Acropolis. Gloria Ferrari has compiled and analyzed the most predominant theories concerning the temple’s actuality through use of evidence provided through archaeological, epigraphical, and historical means. The first theory is proposed by Dörpfeld, in which the temple was not destroyed during the sack of Athens merely damaged and repaired (Ferrari 2002, 11). Bates theorized the temple was destroyed by the Persians, but not rebuilt in order to uphold the Oath of Plataea (Ferrari 2002, 13). Thirdly Curtius proposes that the damaged temple was simply repurposed (Ferrari 2002, 15).…

    Ethiopians In The Iliad

    The Ethiopians - unlike the Hyperboreans - are a real people but have been imagined by the ancient sources . Similarly, they are described as living in a golden age state in that they are purer, nobler, taller, just and more beautiful than the people at the centre . They also do not practice seafaring – despite their location beside the ocean - and have no want or use for gold . Homer’s Iliad gives the Ethiopians their first appearance in literature and in book I Thetis reports that the gods are enjoying the company of the ‘blameless Ethiopians’ . The Ethiopians then like the Hyperboreans are therefore favoured by the gods; for the Olympians of the Iliad visit the Ethiopians by impermanently abandoning civilisation’s Trojan War much like Apollo’s…

In the north cows were very scarce because the cows would die of frost bite or being famished, due to the lack of grass and other resources. The Neanderthals ate mostly nuts, berries, and other things they could scrounge up to eat.…
