Egypt was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in 1517, following the Ottoman-Mamluk War, and Syria was absorbed into the Empire in 1516. Egypt was always a difficult (eyalet) province for the Ottoman Sultans to control, mainly due to the continuing power and influence of the Mamluks, the Egyptian military caste who had ruled the country for centuries; this left Egypt as semi-autonomous under the Mamluks, until 1798. However, Egypt was in disorder due to dissension among the ruing Mamluk elite.…

“A couple of hours ago,” Jack began answering. “Luke called and said I was hired. The part requires me to know some other languages other than English. I know most people would probably buy Rosetta Stone, but I believe traveling to different countries will give me more insight into the culture of those countries, too.” “Well, good for you, Jack,” Ronald responded. Jane indirectly reiterated, “We’re all so proud of you, honey.” First, Jack…

This statue portrays the goddess Sakhmet in a seated, and therefore static position. Her head is that of a lioness--as most Ancient Egyptian gods were depicted with the head of a creature--and she is frontal, engaging the viewer with her gaze, giving herself a sense of presence. The statue is does not stand freely and is attached to the throne in which she sits. She is clothed in typical royal egyptian garments. Being that Sakhmet was a goddess worshipped from Old Kingdom to the Early Period, it…

In a diverse learning environment, minority students are often at an economic disadvantage and are considered at-risk due to social, cultural, and economic factors (Cooper, 1998; Osborne & Walker, 2006). Osborne High School’s Title 1 status, high transiency rate, and large minority population, has led many of our students in being labeled at-risk (National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education., n.d). “At-risk” students lack many of the skills they need to become successful…

This being said their form of worship tends to follow a lineage-based system…
