sculptures. In ancient Iraq, Mesopotamia, the Sumerians represented their sophisticated relationships between the people and the gods through making clay sculptures (Carr, 2016). While in ancient Egypt, the old kingdom's art was mainly represented in limestone sculptures that emphasized rituals of kings and gods, as well as the dead services of common and elite people in the society (Smith, 1941). This paper compares and contrasts the sculpture of The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu with the…

If the acid rain falls on limestone soil, it will be neutralised and have very little effect. However, if it falls on soil, vegetation or a lake or ocean, it can have serious effects on the ecosystem in that area. If acid rain falls on soil it will acidify and add extra hydrogen ions…

A View into Three Art Periods Amarna Style Although Egypt has a vast and rich history the style ushered in by Akhenaten may be one of the most important in ancient Egyptian history. The rule of Amenhotep IV began in 1350 B.C. During his reign, his devotion to the sun god Aten caused the Egyptians to transform into a more monotheistic society. Following the beginning of his rise to power Amenhotep IV soon changed his name to Akhenaten and promptly moved the capitol to a new city named Akhetaten…

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…

from the body through urination. This is the safest most natural method I found through my research to eliminate the acids and therefore inflammation. The actual formula is H3O +OH = 2H2O. The best product I found is AQUA OH-!. It is made from pure limestone, heated and cooled several times and then filtered to remove almost all of the calcium. No chemical or non- natural methods are used. It comes as a concentrate where one concentrated quart makes 32 diluted useable quarts. Because it is a…

The Sierra Nevada is the longest mountain range in America and it lies partially within the parks. Along this range lies Mt. Whitney, at an elevated height of 14,491 feet and considered the tallest mountain within the lower United States. In Sequoia National Park, resides another prominent ridge of mountains called the Great Western Divide and it has been posed as the rival of the Sierran Crest. The topography and its gradual formation was the result of the uplift of the southern portion of the…

the history of Egypt and its people covers thousands of years, I decided to focus my information on the Sphinx and the Egyptian pyramids. The Sphinx of Gaze is a symbol that has represented the essence of Egypt for thousands of years. Made out of limestone with the body of a lion and the head of a king or god, the sphinx has come to symbolize strength and wisdom. From the north side you can see the profile of the Sphinx. It appears as though the head is disproportionate to the body. Because of…

Buechner, in Berlin, Germany. Her father worked at the Dresdner Bank building in downtown Zehlendorf. The four-story tall building reflected the Nazi’s dream of a “Thousand Years Reich” and used limestone instead of the modern concrete and steel girders. Marion explains, “The Nazi’s believed that, by using limestone, they were mirroring Roman and Greek building structures and would therefore also last for a thousand years.” Her mother, on the other hand, stayed home and cared for Marion and her…

and appeal of the property, especially for housing developments. Geologically, the dense bedrock directly below the surface provides a solid foundation with few erosion issues, decreasing the chances of shifting in the future. The shallow-sloping limestone makes building easier as steep inclines are not apparent. Further development and access in this area affects both biotic and abiotic components of the wetland. The area provides habitat for endangered species that would be greatly impacted…

Charles Dickens once stated that “The men who learn endurance, are they who call the whole world, brother” (Charles Dickens Quote). Endurance has been represented in literature since long before the time of Charles Dickens and is a message readers often pocket and use during the course of their own lives. However, how are authors able to get the message across that to become successful, one might have to learn to endure through several hardships? One way to exemplify the significance of…
