remains are technologically rescanned to reassemble and rediscover the unknown with scientist supervision. These supervisions allow for deeper thought analysis for the past questions of why? “Otzi” the oldest man discovered frozen from the Tyrolean Alps consistently forgoes through these various scientific studies with advanced technologies to better understand the human past and “preservation conditions” (Hansell, 2017).

There is a distinguished painting by Jacques-Louis David, titled Napoleon Crossing the Alps. This oil painting was painted at the end of the year 1800, glorifying napoleon’s march into the Alps to attack Austria, which occurred early that year. It is often viewed as a propaganda piece of his military power and achievements. Although the subsequent French victory in Austria was due to French reinforcements, Napoleon “was careful to appropriate all the glory to himself. In the painting,…

its rich volcanic soil, and its protective mountains all gave it an extreme advantage when it started to expand. For that reason, one can conclude that Rome’s geography contributed to its rise to power. First, the Alps and Apennine mountains gave Rome seclusion from land attacks. The Alps provided a deadly fence between the rest of what is today Europe and the Italian peninsula, as…

Introduction The Tasman Glacier is located in the heart of the Southern Alps, in the South Island of New Zealand. Tasman Glacier is New Zealand’s biggest glacier and therefore is an attraction. However, the Glacier has been retreating due to a number of processes which are operating. For example, between the years of 2000-2006, the Tasman Glacier had retreated at approximately 54 metres per year (Robert C. Dykes, Brook, & Winkler, 2010). The aim of this research was to gain an understanding as…

For this essay, I plan to compare and contrast Francois-Joseph Heim’s Charles X Distributing Prizes after the Salon of 1824 and Francois-Auguste Biard’s Four O’Clock at the Salon. Heim’s Salon of 1824 represents a scene of salon in the Restoration period , and Biard’s Salon depicts a scene of Salon during July Monarchy . Those two periods are contiguous, which Restoration period was right before the July Monarchy. According to Chu, those two periods had totally different social processes and…

flesh and accustom them to this…Hannibal had nothing to say against the boldness and usefulness of this suggestion” (Poly p.61). Hannibal knew that when he crossed the Alps it would be a feat never before achieved or even attempted. It would require desperate measures when the going got tough and if need be, cannibalism. In the Alps there would be no food, it would be cold, the passage would be narrow, and the convoy would suffer frequent raids by the Gaul’s (early German people), and yet it…
