Ptolemy I Soter

accomplishment and how did it impact the Ottoman Empire? In 1494, a baby boy was born in Trabzon, Turkey, to Sultan Selim I as the only surviving heir, with little knowledge of, when he came to the throne in 1520, his great destiny. His destiny would hold forty-six years of many achievements in “which the Ottomans would reach the apex of their history.” This baby’s name was Sultan Suleiman I, a ruler later recognized by his famed large turban and his many names, the two most familiar names…

The age of King Kamehameha III was one of revolution and change for land redistribution. The Mahele of 1848 occurred because King Kamehameha III feared that take over from foreigners was imminent unless he handled land ownership. The foreigners were forceful with this idea of one’s right to own land because they were accustomed to it. The King fulfilled their demands so that an event like the Paulet Episode, where ship commander George Paulet tried to take over Hawaii (Potter, Kasdon, and Rayson…

Justinian's code was a revolutionary law code that even today, has remnants in the law. The 12 Tables were used to create Justinian's Code as previous laws were unorganized and outdated. Justinian's Code was also heavily influence by the Christian religion. Using both of these ideas, the Byzantine empire created a special group of jurists for final authority on punishments. Old Roman law was a jumble of unorganized and outdated laws that Justinian took upon himself to modernize with the idea…

(Bar-Haim, Aviezer, Berson, & Sagi, 2002). In this experiment, the different realm of personal space were tested and the subject’s attempts to protect his region were observed. Gender was not a problem as all test subjects were males with moustache. I hypothesised that the test subjects would dislike the invasion of personal space and move away from such intrusion by jerking their head away. The procedures of this experiment is simple. First, the experimenter approaches the subject and starts…

a relationship almost impossible if the “mooching” becomes too common. Nobody wants to go out for a weekend of fun with someone who is always begging them for money. A sure fire way of spotting a moocher is when they swear by the phrase, "I 'll pay you back, I swear!" Females fall into this trap of only inviting certain people when they need something from them. These friends are episodic friends. Close to the concept of a moocher, episodic friends are more frustrating. They are not dependable…

Rome has a complex history with many layers that one must peal individually to fully comprehend. A very complicated time for the political stage of the empire was during the 4th century, when Rome was divided into East and West. The shifting powers at the time led to one of the most influential incidents in Roman history, the Battle of Milvian Bridge. On the 28th of October 312 A.D., two of the greatest authorities at the time faced off on the outskirts of Rome. Constantine the Great engaged…

on a tv screen. The prototype displayed a few numbers and ran sample programs. In 1976 Jobs and Wozniak built the Apple I computer. Wozniak designed the hardware, circuit board, and operating system all by himself. Jobs wanted to sell it as a complete computer, a fully assembled circuit board. They sold some possessions and assembled the computer in Job’s garage. The Apple I sold for $666, Wozniak had no idea about the biblical ‘mark of the beast’ at the time. Because of their success on their…

The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ created a spiritual up rise in the early centuries of Rome. Jesus’ teachings were being spread throughout the kingdom by his Apostles and a new religion called “Christianity” was embraced and expanded. Christians worship one God and believe in a trinity of their God. The concept of a monotheistic religion wasn’t accepted in the pagan Roman Empire. Christian beliefs were insulting to the pagan polytheistic culture. Christians did not have legal…

The world is in denial, climate change is happening, and the earth is dying because people are killing it. A clear example of this denial is seen in the decline of news coverage regarding environmental change, “in 2007, the three major U.S. networks—CBS, NBC, and ABC ran 147 stories on climate change; in 2011 the networks ran just fourteen stories on the subject” (Klein, 34). People do not want to hear about climate change and decreasing natural resources. Continued denial will be the downfall…

The life of cosmopolitan women in late-antiquity has remained something of an enigma to scholars. Perceptions of general decadence and moral impoverishment date back to the early research of historians like Edward Gibbon, who argued that a loss of virtue-ethics plagued the secular government. Authors of the 5th and 6th centuries, like Procopius and St. Augustine, offer little to undermine that notion. One would be quick to assume that the general decline in quality of life in the late…
