    Why Vikings Unearthed's Horizontal Excavation?

    For the structure atop the hill it will be useful to make horizontal excavations as they can show large areas of site to uncover structure plans or settlement layouts. Although we can see the structure with the naked eye, there may also be parts of it that we cannot see because of the damage the fires have caused. The horizontal excavation will be 3m x 9m, so that we may have an opportunity in finding hidden chambers or rooms underneath the ceremonial structures. It is very likely that we find human remains in the ceremonial structures because of sacrifice rituals they may have done. The remains will allow us to conduct DNA testing and determine things we could not from other objects.…

    Assess the Extent to Which Archaeological Evidence Uncovered by Heinrich Schliemann Supports Homer’s Existence of Troy.

    Schliemann began his preliminary excavations on the Ancient site of Hisarlik, Turkey in the April of 1870, an ancient high plateau that archaeologist Frank Calvert had already formulated as being ‘an artificial mound with the ruins and debris of temples and palaces which succeeded each other over long centuries’. Schliemann was immediately convinced by Calvert that this was the site of Homer’s Troy. Over 1871-73 he would make three major campaigns totalling over nine months work. He decided to drive fast trenches through the mound, removing hundreds of tons of earth and rubble, demolishing earlier structures which stood in his way. Among the walls were parts of the limestone city wall of Lysimachus and in two places behind it, an earlier wall of limestone blocks which Schliemann considered too fine to be…

    Arapesh Society Research Paper

    By saying that "the economic process...is embedded in noneconomic institutions," Karl Polanyi means that even though there is no such term as “economy“ in noneconomic institutions, it still has economic activities, but only much harder to identify. That only the concepts of economy and not the term “economy” (which was coined only 200 years ago by a group of French thinkers) itself are being used in these institutions. The goal in these institutions is not to get wealthier, but to achieve other things, like stronger relations and kinship. The economic activities are embedded in the society but not for profitable economic reasons or a measure of wealth, like they are in the modern society. For example, how economic elements are set in use in different social relationships of a non-economic character like it is in the Arapesh society.…

    Myths of the Mound Builders

    The first time I heard about the Mound Builders, which was in this class, these people seemed like a very primitive group. What was so exciting about having the skill of piling up a bunch of dirt. Then I was able to see some of these mounds and the scale was nothing I had imagined. These mounds were huge and also contained distinct structural shapes. Tombs, houses, and religious structures were constructed in or on top of the mounds. What made the edifices even more amazing was the time period they were built. Constructed all the way back to 3000 B.C., the mounds rivaled the most advanced engineering techniques in the world.…

    Sacred Spaced Ap Art History

    Throughout history, monuments have been built to show power, wealth, and even conquest. Depending on a cultures value and tradition, the types of monuments can vary from era to era. However, the construction of sacred monuments has predated from the times of the start of civilization in Mesopotamia to even modern day. People have always created buildings to show their faith, and to honor their gods. In Ashokan India and ancient Greece, the creation of sacred spaces was very common. The creation of the Great Stupa in India and the Parthenon in Greece both were built for the honor and worship for the respective god and goddess for both nation…

    Valmiki Bhavan Research Paper

    Valmiki Bhavan, or “Valmiki’s building,” is an ancient Hindu temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. I visited and researched this sacred site online through video tours and pictures. Built around 1970 and unaltered, this site was constructed with white marble and red stones from Rajasthan. Usually in Hindu temples, and in this particular one as well, around the interior are statues, scriptures, and other decor. From the tile to the walls, pillars and even the ceiling, the building has patterns, pictures and inscriptions. With a capacity of about 5,000 people, this large Bhavan would be considered almost empty due to the lack of furniture. There aren’t any chairs or benches to sit for the purpose of allowing space to walk and to allow people to worship in their preferential…

    One On The Aztecs: Film Analysis

    The Great Wall is one of the most spectacular engineering feats ever conceived: The Great Wall of China, which eventually spanned over 5500 miles, was constructed to seal the vast Chinese Empire from the outside world. Many peasant workers died constructing the wall and were buried in the wall, which coined the nickname ‘The Long Graveyard’. Mostly all of the Emperors that followed added on to the wall. Further, Shi Huangdi, engineered an opulent tomb that would be his final resting place atop a river of mercury. As discovered recently, Shi Huangdi had intricate sculptures made of his terracotta army to guard his tomb in the afterlife.…

    Mound Builders

    700 to the 1700’s was named the Mississippian culture. Few of the burial places were complex mounds, but most others were ordinary bases and temples. A famous mound that is currently located in Cahokia, Illinois today is named Monk’s Mound. It stands at 100 ft. tall, 1,000 feet long, and 700 feet wide, which is broadly considered to be the most ginormous man-made material structure in our planet currently (Franklin 33).…

    The Terracotta Army

    INNOVATIONS, CONSTRUCTION-PRINCIPLES: The tomb supposedly looks like huge trenches. The content of the tombs are believed to be human like soldiers made out of terracotta clay and bronze and represents the Terracotta warriors from the Qin Shi Huang De dynasty. There are four warrior pits. The warriors are ranged from 1.83-1.95 meters in height and are arranged according to their roles (tallest being the generals). Pit one contains most of the warriors an estimated 8000. It is 230 meters long, has 11 corridors (3 meters wide), and is paved with small bricks and wooden ceiling that are water proof sealed with clay. Pit two has the infantry and war chariots which are believed to be the guard post. Pit three is the command post and contains the high ranking officers and war chariots. Pit four is empty and appears to be unfinished by the builders. The layout of the compound is consist of long trenches side by side with a partition in between. Some of these findings were initially discovered in 1974 and the rest in years…

    Shingal: My Developing Country

    My developing nation is called Shingal, a small country depending mostly on farming, oil, and difficult jobs. It depends on other countries' technologies and industries, and its living standard is low, which satisfies the definition of a developing country (Educationalpathways.org). Here is the suggestion to fix country's problems: set up a federal government with the highest supreme leader is the president, elections every four years, and a house of representatives from all sects, parties, and regions. The president can serve only two terms with an exception of up to two years extension if at least 75 percent of the representatives and 50 percent of citizens voted for him/her. This new nation is not involved in wars with other countries, but it is very concerned about its internal and border security. In Shingal, citizens have freedom of speech, demonstration, bear a gun, and vote officials out, like most of the other democratic countries; however, the government starts with totalitarianism first year since the country in not yet ready for democracy. Singal's elections participation is different from other countries because people take a test before they can vote, and the highest their score, the more points they can give to the person they vote for. Roskin (2014) says that countries develop themselves better we develop them (p. 31). This will be true in Shingal as well, and the only interventions from other countries that will be accepted are to protect it from other…

    Harrapan Civilisation

    The Harappans and Sumerians are distinctly different politically. While the Sumerians developed the world's first monarchy, the Harappans may have developed the first democracy. Very little evidence has been found of a king in the Indus Valley, only one white priest-king idol and a silver crown; not enough to establish that the "royalty" were the rulers. Instead the empire was divided into regions with half a dozen cities functioning as capitals and was governed by a group of people. Archeologist Jonathan Mark Kenoyed has speculated that the Harappan rulers were merchants, ritual specialists and individuals controlling important resources, instead of just one social group controlling the rest. From the construction of the cities however it does appear there were some social classes, as the citadel is usually 20 feet higher than the middle and lower town. The Sumerians, on the other hand, developed into city-states ruled by a priest-king. The king led the military, administered trade, judged disputes and performed certain important religious ceremonies. The king also had a bureaucracy, which consisted mostly of priests, who assisted him in governing. To justify the authority of the priest-kings the Sumerians declared that the king was divinely selected, but later this changed and eventually they asserted that the king himself was divine and worthy of worship. So while the Sumerians worshiped their king the Harappans chose not to glorify any particular person and were instead ruled by ordinary people.…

    Amazing 7 Wonders of the World

    The agricultural section is divided into higher and lower ground. The high ground consists of five premises, the shrine of pile of stones marking a holy site and over 40 platforms. The low ground, meanwhile, comprises seven premises, four open areas and approximately 80 platforms. Some of the numerous agricultural terraces, which are placed in succession, are connected by stone stairways fitted in the walls, while others are linked by various set of steps forming corridors. The layout of the terraces and platforms is in perfect harmony with the mountains surrounding the site. Thus, the hillsides seem to be sculpted to harmonize with nature.…
