The Gospel of Luke I chose to read The Gospel of Luke for my project. It is said that The Gospel of Luke was written somewhere between 80 CE - 90 CE. The Gospel of Luke was written for Theophilus, who was called “Friend of God”. But The Gospel was also written for a wider audience, including converts and potential converts. One thing that surprised me while reading the Gospel of Luke was how much of Jesus’ life they skipped. In one paragraph he was a baby, and in the next paragraph he was twelve

By the mid-10th century, paper replaced papyrus and parchment completely in the Muslim world. (Whitaker-theguardian.com) Parchment was made from animal skins in a long, drawn-out, expensive process. When paper came along, its manufacture was easier and quicker, and no sheep had to die in the process. (Bloom) Another good thing about paper was that ink soaked into it, so it was more secure for important documents because it could not be erased like papyrus or parchment.

9. In what sense did the Mesopotamian authors “do algebra”? Did they have the concept of an equation or a classification of types of equations? The Mesopotamian authors didn’t “do algebra,” they solved problems by following a set of steps which allowed them to get a numerical answer. Today, if we tried to solve those problems, we would use algebra, but they did not (Cooke, 2005, p. 40). They had no concept of an equation, or of a set of rules that would allow them to solve a variety of problems
measurement and calculations. With their vast knowledge in geometry they were able to calculate the areas of triangles, bricks, trapezoids and pyramids. The Egyptians practiced the mathematical arts through hieroglyphics, pyramids, and the Rhind Papyrus. Ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphics for many things including mathematics. They had a decimal system using seven different symbols for the multiples of the number ten. One was represented by a single stroke. Ten was represented by a drawing of a

The final judgment Egyptian papyrus, Figure 1, is an artwork that was created during the Ancient Egyptian period +-3100 BCE - 30 BCE (Harris & Zucker 2013). According to Kleiner (2005:76), this particular artwork was created during the 19th Dynasty, which was within the New Kingdom. During the New Kingdom, the power was passed on to the shepherd kings (Kleiner 2005:67). They brought with them a new influential culture as they came from the Syrian and Mesopotamian uplands (Kleiner 2005:67). This time
Old Kingdom, can be found in their rendering of the human form. An interest in portraiture developed early in Egypt. (Gardner, 75) Whether painted on pottery, or cut into rock, the figures all had notably Egyptian characteristics.

non-fiction. We will not spend much time discussing the history of books, however it is proper to quickly mention that the history of books dates back about 5,000 years when ancient Egyptians would write on a plant that grew along the Nile River called Papyrus. Papyrus sheets were glued together to form a scroll. The Codex as a form of book can be dated back to the end of the first century but it gained popularity in the Christian community in the 3rd and 4th centuries . This format of books was more economical

The predynastic period of Egypt began in 3500 bce. Egypt was split between the south and the north and then became unified towards the end of the predynastic period (book). The palette of King Narmer supposedly depicts the events of the unification. The Palette is dated between 3000 bce and 2920 bce. “The Egyptian artist’s portrayal of Narmer combines profile views of his head, legs, and arms with front views of his eye and torso” (book). This representation became the norm in Egyptian art as well
