The history of bowling goes way back to the 3200BC in egypt. In the 1930’s Sir Flinders Petrie found a colection of objects that represented bowlig in a egyptions childs grave.

The mass number of tombs eventually lead to the creation of the Pyramids, which are not only some of the largest man-made structures, but also some of the most…

For example, everyone knows of mummification. Priests embalm the body, take out the organs needed for the afterlife, wrap the body in linen, place protective amulets on the body, and then place the body in a tomb with all kinds of goods just to be looted or found later. Nobody considers how these…

lasts for over half an hour. Nevertheless, surfing through this world’s longest wave is risky, frightening and dangerous. The Tupi-Guarani Indians themselves have once expressed their fear by calling it “poroc poroc”, or in English translates as “great destructive noise”.

INTRODUCTION Dorton Arena was completed in 1952 and is the first structure to be primarily supported by cables. This feat of civil engineering was visualized by Matthew Nowicki. The entire structure is unique and efficient, and an important component of Dorton Arena is the stability of the roof.

it’s a fact. And when MacBeth says he’s a friend, he doesn’t actually mean it. Nothing is as it seems. Words have power. Debate involves the manipulation of words.

The power of one’s words can not be underestimated. If words didn’t matter than no one would care about Trump’s tweets, but they do. Because words have…
