Because both were made to dedicated their god or leader/ruler, it also has the unique design, made of muds which turn into baked bricks, and have numerous steps. Their difference is both were made in other lands, as the pyramid made in Egypt and the great ziggurat is in Mesopotamia. Another thing about their difference, is the design of it. the pyramid is design as a three-dimensional triangle form…

Madeline Danielson Ms. Prewitt H. Algebra II – E Block 8 May 2017 Egyptian Numbers The numbers of Ancient Egypt arose around 3000 BC. At this time the Egyptian society was already advanced, urbanized, and expanding rapidly long before the creation of the written numeral system.

The Egyptians felt the need to move away from oral culture because of the importance of the…

All throughout history management Theorists have attempted to get the best and most efficient use out of labour, managers and employees, as well as their equipment through observation and experimentation. In many cases management theorists have stumbled upon many of their ideas by accident while working. Management history can be traced back to around 4000BC, in Egypt, as those who created the pyramids would have had some concept of management skills. Two of the most influential theorists of the…

The Hanging Gardens are one of the Seven Wonders in the World and still to this day is very attractive to tourist. With walls about “56 miles in length, 80 feet thick, 320 feet high”, this was one of the most impressive architectures (The Seven Wonders). The Gardens were built around 600 BC and got destroyed in the second century BC. Due to an earthquake much of the Hanging Gardens were destroyed. There are two different theories to how the Hanging Gardens were built. One theory was that the…

The Pre-Pottery Neolithic period was the very earliest period of the Neolithic in the Near East and Levant. Much can be discovered about this period in time by excavating archaeological sites and examining what has been preserved such as architecture and other physical materials. One aspect of these excavations that are particularly fascinating are the burial practices that prevailed within these sites throughout the Pre-Pottery Neolithic. There were many burial similarities, as well as…

This week we learned about the chapter, Egypt Under the Pharaohs in the Old, Middle, and New Kingdom. I will be cornering in on the art of the Palate of King Narmer, the Fragmentary head of Senuret III, and Akhenaton, Nefertiti, and three daughters. I will also be discussing “Egypt’s Golden Empire: The Warrior Pharaohs”. In the Old Kingdom, the front and back carvings on the Palette of King Narmer were of big focus. Dated circa 3000-2920 BCE, from Hierakonpolis, Egypt, in the Predynastic era,…

Hello, I am Geoff Barnes and I am here with Kirralee Bishop to debate the factors contributing the design of Teotihuacano architecture. Was Teotihuacan designed for Aesthetics or Ritual? The monumental architecture in the heart of Teotihuacan creates a unique sense of place. The scale of the pyramids, the far reaching stretch of the avenue of the dead, the symmetry of the walls, the rhythmic placement of the temples and highly decorated dwellings, filling the visitor’s peripheral vision,…

Archaeologists discovered a monumental stairway in the plaza that depicts the history of Copan with more than 1800 individual glyphs. The Mayan elite had a practice of burying their ancestor’s in front of their dwellings, they considered this a place of honor. This is important to archaeologists as it enables…

Tiner however did an extraordinary job at explaining the different ideas and theories about the mysteries of Stonehedge. He gave different interpretations about the transportation, construction, and the use of Stonehedge. The transportation of the stones at Stonehedge is impossible to…
