The Ancient Egyptians were fairly interested in fashion. Which was evident by how the lower classes copied the upper classes because they looked cool. The most popular fabric among the Egyptians was linen, but due to the fact that it was hard to dye most of their clothing stayed white/off-white (the original color of the linen). Due to having very bland colored clothing the Egyptians would add a lot of colors to their collars along with wearing other jewelry as well. The oldest pieces of garment
The supermarket, churches, and stadiums are have one thing in common, they are all common gathering spaces. Although each space serves a different purpose, people of all backgrounds are free to attend each place as they please.

By examining the Altar of the Twelve Gods, the Tholos, Stoa of Attalos, and finally
penetrate the sacred area with his rays. Also, temple reliefs evolved to depict scenes of daily life at Amarna and the activities of the royal family instead of that of gods, as previously seen in Egypt. The Great Temple contained nine hundred open air mudbrick offering tables, like the ones depicted in the relief, in which food offerings would be left for Amen. Akhenaten probably decided to be depicted as the sphinx in the above relief because of the connection the sphinx previously held to the sun god
Have you ever wondered what whether the level of engineering skill that ancient Egyptians had were considered modern? A giant triangular shaped monument built by the ancient Egyptians, called pyramids, can show this. Pyramids reveal ancient Egypt’s engineering styles because of how it was built, what it was made out of, and what was inside the pyramid. One of the ways pyramids can show ancient Egyptians’ engineering skill is by the development of pyramid building. Pyramid building techniques were
Under the reign of the Abbasid caliphates in 750-1258 the capital of the Islamic empire was moved to the east, from Damascus to Baghdad in Iraq and later they established a new city to the north, Samarra (836-83). The three first centuries of this dynasty were called the golden age because those where the years where the court of Baghdad reigned with political and cultural power. They abandoned the Umayyad art of decorative stone, wood and ceramic objects and introduced a new method called the arabesque
to the site of the pyramid and set in place. Most of the workers were farmers who worked on building the pyramid during the flood season when their fields were under water. After the first lever of blocks was in place, the workers built ramps of mudbrick, limestone chips, and clay. The workers dragged the large stones up the ramps to build the next level of the pyramid. For about twenty years, hundreds of men worked on building the pyramids. As they built each level, they also build up the ramps
cemeteries that held over six thousand individuals requires monumental engineering. Sixteen of the burials are classed as burials of royalty due to their immense stashes of riches and design within the sepulchers. These tombs are also characterized by mudbrick and stone rooms topped with domes and vaults, some of the first in ancient cultures. The bodies were buried in a deep pit that was then covered with dirt and used for an area of worship and reverence. These structures emphasize the drastic difference
The Earth as a whole is not comprised of individual civilizations cut off from one another. This being said, influence can be seen all over the world, through many different cultures. As trade and natural movement of people brought artistic or architectural influences to other places, one can recognize an evolution of ideas and adaptation to the tools available in the area. Architectural styles and remnants of these can be seen trickling down from the more modern era of Gothic work all the way back
The Mesopotamians found out that clay is an extremely versatile natural resource, one way that is was used was a mud brick. A mud brick was a lump of clay shaped usually into a rectangular and dried under the sun to create a tough brick. These mudbricks were revolutionary as taller structures were built. Although these bricks could not fight water, they led to the invention of the actual brick. The author of the Epic uses clay differently, Endiku is made of clay, and when he dies, Gilgamesh says
Gaius Octavius Thurinus (better known as Augustus) was the man who would turn the Roman Republic into an Autocracy, ruled by one man: Himself. It is true that Augustus built the Roman Empire around himself, and refurbished Rome for the better however, he achieved his title Imperator through rather questionable means. He emerged as emperor by defeating people who were once allies, he forced Marc Antony to be exiled to Gaul successfully defeating him as a rival, and he also had many supporters and
and supplied the early Egyptians with copious amounts of building materials. They would use mud from the riverbanks to make sundried bricks. These bricks could be used to build: homes and or other buildings. Primarily most ancient Egyptians used mudbricks to build their small houses. They would use wood beams to hold up their flat mud roofs (Mankato). Limestone and sandstone were also gathered from the hills nearby that also could have been used in construction of their pyramids and their other
communities are found all over the island, such as at Khirokitia, Kalavasos-Tenta, Apostolos Andreas-Kastros, Phrenaros, Petra tou Limniti. Neolithic Cypriots built circular houses with small undressed stones for the lower structures and sun-dried mudbricks and clay for the middle and superstructure. The Khirokitia neolithic settlement in Larnaca district stands out as a striking example of prehistoric architecture. The Bronze/ Copper Age Large copper deposits brought fame and wealth to the island
The Egyptian pyramids are one of the oldest known structures that are still standing today and the largest man-made structures in ancient Egypt. 1This is greatly caused by the elaborate construction of these pyramids. The Egyptians were very smart and used their intelligence to construct some of the world’s most fascinating structures. The construction of the Egyptian pyramids had changed greatly over the centuries they were built. The Egyptians started with the step pyramid, then the bent pyramid

Chapter 1 Describe the first humans. In East Africa, archaeologists have unearthed bones and tools of human ancestors called hominids that go back about five million years ago. Australopithecus, known as “the southern ape”, were an example of hominid creatures whom were short, hairy, and limited in intelligence. They walked upright, had some ability to communicate verbally, and could travel over long distances to obtain particular stone to fashion tools. These tools included choppers, scrapers
