Assyria

The first part of the book deals with Ebla and the Early Dynastic (ED) period in Mesopotamia. At this time period they saw the first empires in the ancient Near East, and Ebla was usefully founded between coastal Syria and northern Mesopotamian cities. Exploiting on this location, rulers of Ebla created pacts with neighboring towns and placed tariffs on goods arriving to the city. Many of the extravagant goods were meant for the royal household; Podany describes the contents and effects of a…

However, regardless of the major differences, there were still a few similarities between the two of them. This paper will compare and contrast the administrative structure of both empires, along with the leader’s attitudes toward their citizens. The Assyrian Empire as a whole was a rather…

Jarriett Hicks Article Review This article explained the formation and organization of civilizations. As referenced in the article, civilization is the highest cultural grouping of a people and the broadest level of cultural identity. All civilizations derive from a common birthplace and exhibit a patrilineal or matrilineal society. Ancient Kent had controversial views as to being patrilineal or matrilineal until the research of Cheika Anta Diop proved otherwise. According to the Monogenetic…

Heinrich Schliemann: Heinrich Schliemann was born in Neubukow, Mecklenburg-Schwerin on January, 6, 1822. He was a German pioneer of field archaeology. At the age of 14 he was forced to leave the country for ill health reasons, so he became a captain boy on a ship heading from Hamburg to Venezuela.

We all know that the earliest writing systems were drawings usually done on rock, sides of mountains and cave walls. Doesn’t that seem pretty tedious? Though of course it’s beautiful, imagine writing a 10,000-word essay for a college class all done on several clay slabs with thousands of pictures. Aren’t you glad we evolved our way of writing? The earliest writing systems evolved separately and at pretty much the same time in Mesopotamia and Egypt, but current information shows that…

book will remind them of what being Christian actually means. I’ve already underlined some of the strengths so here are some weaknesses. Wright talks little of personal sin, repentance and the Judgement Day. When he tells of Israel’s exile into Assyria and Babylon it sounds like “Poor innocent Israel” needs to be rescued from these two monsters. He vaguely mentioned Israel’s sin but Daniel says it less vaguely,” All Israel has transgressed your law and turned away refusing to obey you.…

One of the earliest and most complete ancient legal codes was proclaimed by the Babylonian king Hammurabi, who reigned from 1792 to 1750 B.C. Hammurabi expanded the city-state of Babylon along the Euphrates River to unite all of southern Mesopotamia. His code, a collection of 282 laws and standards, stipulated rules for commercial interactions and set fines and punishments to meet the requirements of justice. Hammurabi’s Code was proclaimed at the end of his reign and carved onto a massive,…

Typology in the Old testament is mostly Christologically centered. A classic example is The sacrifice of The Passover Lamb. The New Testament verifies typology as a legitimate form of biblical interpretation. (see 1 Cor. 5:7; John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:19) But what of typology in the Old Testament not officially sanctioned by the New Testament writers? Many types of Christ found in the Old Testament are not specifically cited in the New Testament. Joseph, son of Jacob, is a classic example. Any…
