Tyler Boertje Ancient Honors Women have played an important role since the beginning of history. What is in question is what exactly they did during the course of their lives and how they did it. Things such as their social status, what their marriages were like, occupation, roles at home, and education all vary around the world depending on where they were geographically located. Two ancient civilizations, Egypt and Mesopotamia, had different views as well as some similar views on how…

Ancient Egypt When you think of Egypt, you think of pyramids, mummies, and Cleo Patra. Even though those things are important, there is a lot more then just that. When you read this, you will be surprised at how much there really was, and how some things are still holding together today. Some history may not be true, as in Cleopatra because no tomb was built for her and if there was one it was destroyed. Some say mummification was started upon Chinchorros. Now lets see their history in what…

We live in a unique time in history. Our generation is embarking on a renaissance which the world couldn’t have imagined a few decades ago. With the invention of the printing press and the internet we have unprecedented access to knowledge and information. Few would disagree that we are living in a privileged time. But few recognize the responsibility we have to be stewards of the information at our finger tips. Are we taking advantage of the wealth of free resources? We can pick any topic…

(“Epic of Gilgamesh” 10-40) In Egypt, men were often seen as the…

While reading this book it got me wondering about another book that I have read, which is called “ Lost Cities” by Neil, Morris. The two books share a common main idea, as well does this book talk about abandoned and forgotten cities all throughout history. These two books take us on a fantastic journey to look back on the forgotten. Wretched ruins talks specifically about lost cities that have been populated for a period of time and then had gotten abandoned as time went on. For example, the…

In my opinion, I think the artifacts, located in the Hall of Ancient Egypt should be return to its origin. This is not only considering as a personal view, but it is also an international debate. Even if these artifacts were stolen, which we do not know, they still need to be present in their country not in other places like America. They are part of the Egyptian’s background, including the people, culture, religion and so on. Imagine if someone comes to America and digging up George Washington,…

Due to the impact it had in their daily lives, religion greatly impacted the development and thought processes of the ancient peoples. Religion has shaped and changed cultures throughout history, and arguably for the better. Religion inspired creativity, encouraged peace…

it is an image of Christianity but also fuse the divine art of stained glass medium that integrated a continuous narrative of Christian stories. In Survey of Western Art I, even though we were lectured that technically the course was a study of history of images and the iconographic meanings of past cultures, I would consider this course truly taught a combination of images and art. That the images are the ideas that is portrayed by art of any medium. Never have I been challenged to question…
