This increase in numbers means that the number of recreational divers is increasing quickly, and there is a clear need for awareness of dangers and injuries that may occur. Coral reefs, shipwrecks, caverns, and many other underwater treasures around the world are great for scuba divers wanting to explore the underwater…

During the 1960s to early 1970s, Project Apollo sought out to explore the moon. Apollo 11 achieved this goal when Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon and said, "That's one small step for a man. One giant leap for mankind." Landing on the moon was a major milestone for “mankind,” but was not the only goal of Apollo. New spacecrafts were invented such as the command module, the service module, and the lunar module.

core component of mountaineering traditions. However the very notion of the business of guiding has disestablished the essence of trust among clients. Trust, as Krakauer explains, “is a luxury denied [to] those who sign on as clients on a guided ascent” (40).

It is no surprise that all of these are directly related to Egypt’s funerary culture and spiritual beliefs.
