evolution has determined human nature as innate and selfish, with survival and self-preservation an unconscious priority. I comprise this article into five sections, comprehensively describing human nature, and, more importantly, how our understanding of human nature determines Government as a reflection of such natural tendencies. Section 1 will offer a more plausible alternative…

For different styles, recurring patterns and shapes of pottery, he provided an accurate depiction of the stages of the Minoan civilisation. He divided it in three phases: Early Minoan, Middle Minoan and Late Minoan, and every section was again divided in A and B, early and late. Evans never intended to assign the pottery to a specific calendrical date. He correlated the findings with artifacts recovered in Egypt, finding obvious similarities and establishing a more specific date…

Kasia Szpakowska’s book takes a look at what the life of a middle-class inhabitant of the settlement of Hetep-Senusret, better known as Lahun, would be like in the Late Middle Kingdom. Although this book is a nonfiction informative text, Szpakowska uses a fictional family constructed out of what were once real people as a model to recreate the daily life of an Egyptian living in ancient times. Szpakowska focuses on the character of a young girl named Hedjerit, who serves as a virtual example of…

undiscovered pieces of information nestled within Aztec ruins. It is correct to say that much history of this grand civilization was destroyed during the Spanish Conquest of 1519 led by Hernan Cortes and his populous army of men. However, through archaeological explorations, the remains of the Mexica have allowed us to fill in the gaps in our historical timeline and give us insight into their way of life. I contend that artifacts that were uncovered in El Templo Mayor are indicators that…

The Cilicia Museum was established in Antelias, Lebanon year 1998 and it preserves part of the religious history of the Armenian nation. All of the collection’s valuable objects- such as Medieval manuscripts, chalices, golden crosses etc.- have been protected and carried out of Cilicia during the Armenian Genocide (1915-1923), either by monks or by ordinary people, hidden among their belongings. The history of the museum’s collection will be further elaborated in the coming chapters. However, it…

First and foremost in taking this systematic approach, our eyes gravitate towards the rounded Assyrian crown being worn on its head, calling to mind some connotations of high regality. The “hairpiece” falls in layers of sorts, extended down around the ear(s) and encompassing the back of the head and neck. The hair itself slides out naturally, forming in dreaded, distinct, almost “curled” ends, which come together in reaching the shoulder(s); prominent and imposing, as Assyrian manes were usually…

(Boyce, 91). Christianity has even been referred to as a Mithraic cult, due to the amount of Christian beliefs, ideas, practices, and teachings that have been adopted from Zoroastrianism (Min-Ju, 6). However, according to most academic sources, archaeological evidence does not support this claim (Beard & North,…

I am writing about Mawangdui which is an archaeological site in Changsha, China. Mawangdui is from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) period. This site is important because the Chinese found a body which was still intact from thousands of years ago. Mawangdui has helped the Chinese learn more about their culture. This site has had a huge impact on the Chinese society. In one of the results of their discoveries, the Chinese archaeologists found differences in their culture. During the Han Dynasty…

1. Hi my name is Taylor and I chose to study the serve water crisis happening in California. This water crisis has a start date of 2012 but in reality has been going on for much longer than that. 2. The drought in California isn’t just a natural disaster but is also a man made one in another critical sense by capitalist governments largely beholden to giant energy cooperation 's refusal to seriously address the issue. Since the states founding in 1850 water policies have never been carried…
