    Southern Ceremonial Complex

    The assumption and use of the accouterments of the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex, also called the Southern Cult, is another commonality. The essential beliefs of this cult or religion were conveyed through rituals and the exchange of sacred objects engraved with symbols such as falcons, crosses, and rattlesnakes. Often the iconography illustrates scenes of violence and warfare, such as warrior figures holding weapons and decapitated heads. These symbols were carved, modeled, inscribed, and painted on many various materials (Caddo Fundamentals, 2003).…

    Statue of Kouros

    The Statue of a kouros and the Portrait statue of a boy both depict similar subjects, however are greatly different in how they accomplish this task. Through detail, or lack there of, the Greeks and Romans are able to display a certain value they have in its members. These two statues were made about 500 years apart and approach the sculpting process quit differently. The Greek statue seems to use geometric exaggerated lines to form the body while the Romans use a more realistic approach and sculpt the body with a more rounded finish. Statue of a kouros, from about 590 B.C and Portrait of a boy, from about the first century, do not share any great technical aspects and are basically nothing alike.…

    The Importance Of Temples In Pagan Art

    There are around 900 temples that stand in Pagan today. Most of them were built in the 12th century. Most of their insides are covered with layers of fine mud, and also decorated with paintings that show scenes of battle or daily life in the market for the Pagan empire residents. Some also can depict traditional spirit deities, known as nats. Stupas, also known as temples, can range from “one-face” design to a “four-face: design. One-face designs will have one main entrance and four-face have four main entrances. The temples that have been built can be credited with inspiring many other civilizations buildings as they are usually awe inspiring.

    Tenochtitla The Great Temple Analysis

    There was a calling to the city of Tenochtitlan, the presence of the celestial levels grew stronger as you were drawn towards the center of the city. As I wandered closer I felt a connection with the skies, I knew that it was my calling to find a way to bridge the realms. I was only a loyal Aztec, a firm believer. I worshipped the power before me and believed that if anyone could break the walls amongst the realms then it would be the king. There were talks about the reconstruction of a great temple going around in the city, I grew interested and wanted to learn more. Thus came the continued construction of the Templo Mayor, the largest and most significant in sacred ceremonial precinct. It was a calling from the cosmos, there was no better way to worship the gods than to create a structure that would bring us closer to them in this axis mundi.…

    Wat Buddharangsi Temple Site Visit

    I grew up in a house where both my parents practiced the teachings of Sikhism and Hinduism. My father’s job required us to move every three years to different countries, most of them of Christian majority and because of this I have been exposed to a few religions. However, ever since I first started studying religion I have always found Buddhism more relating to my beliefs more than any other religion has since it is more a philosophy against a religion. I was especially interested in the Theravada branch of Buddhism, or “The Doctrine of Elders”, which is essentially a school of Buddhism that follow the Tipitaka, a collection of religious texts. The Tipitaka is known to be one of the oldest records of Buddha’s teachings. The thing that interested me the most was the idea of no “supreme being” and the concept of after-life and reincarnation.…

    The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

    The Temple of Queen Hatshepsut

    Queen Hatshepsut, the daughter to both Thutmose I and Queen Ahmose, was unlike another daughter or son at that matter. Hatshepsut was the favorite of the children but also had two brothers, who had died prematurely, which left her as an only child. Unfortunately since both her brothers died, it left her to be the only one to take the throne when her father passed away. When her father passed away she eventually became pharaoh after realizing that she made more of the decisions that any of her step brothers. Queen Hatshepsut had now become the fifth pharaoh of the 18th dynasty and also the first female to ever rule Egypt. Hatshepsut ruled for little over 21 years and obviously was the most remarkable woman that ever had influenced Egypt. Hatshepsut was one of the most prolific builders in ancient Egypt, appointing hundreds of construction projects throughout both upper and lower Egypt. After becoming a pharaoh, Hatshepsut took on qualities that male pharaohs did as well, which was dressing and looking more masculine than women could. Eventually Queen Hatshepsut hired the architect, Senmut, who she wanted to have build and put together the temples which she had in mind. She wanted her temple to stand on the western bank of the Nile River also known as western Thebes. After many years it was noticed that Senmut had put together several excellent temples, so he was directed to have special focus on the next one, which would be the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Senmut build her one the best temples early Egypt has seen. He constructed an Obelisk, which is a tapering, four sided shaft of stone, usually monolithic and also having a pyramidal apex. This temple was the design of Hatshepsut herself, but she also had the intention to have it as a funerary temple. A funerary temple was typically a place for burial for a person like Queen Hatshepsut. This temple was said to be one of the largest temples of all time and was also…

    Temple of Anemospilia

    The temple of Anemospilia is a rather unique find, not only for its size but for its location and the way it is built. Most agree that it was most definitely destroyed by an earthquake and resulting fire; some say the earthquake was a result of an eruption by the nearby volcano Thera. When J. Sakellarakis excavated the site in 1979, he found three bodies, along with many pots, pans, food items and jars. Most temples of that time in Crete were built with labyrinthine-like walls and doorways, whereas this temple is built with simple walls, floors and doorways. It is also a lot smaller than most buildings of its type, this has led to many questions, both by historians and archaeologists. Why was the temple built in such a way? Was the man in the West Room sacrificed because the people knew the earthquake was coming and wanted to please the gods?…

    Temple of Eck

    The temple was simply breathtaking. The structure of the building was magnificent. The white walls and all the paintings were fantastic. The main meeting room was amazing and the six sided blue star on the ceiling was the perfect finish. The building was kept nice, clean and smelling fresh. The whole time I was wondering, if the building was this well taken care of, how did the nature trails look? I assumed they would be kept as clean as the building because the speakers sounded very proud of the trails. The speakers were very friendly and seemed genuinely happy to see us. This made it easier to listen to them and take what they were saying seriously because their smiles pulled in the listener’s attention very effectively. The Paintings were beautiful beyond words. The imagery was just too amazing.…

    The Amun Temple

    The dual complexity of your desired structure could potentially allow for a powerful architectural presence for this dynasty. Our society has been given a gift in its proximity to various prime natural elements; located in the abundancy of the Nile River, I propose a structure that will not only fulfill the requirements of the building’s functionality, but also be aesthetically pleasing and timeless. I decided on this particular location because a structure of this caliber should be constructed where it will not only stand out but also measure up to the locality. I am aware of your gratitude towards Amun, therefore I chose to locate this structure at the base of the cliff of the west bank off the Nile, facing the Amun temple. This cliff is…

    On November 18, 1978 more than nine hundred people died in one of the largest mass murder/suicides in history. The man that implemented and carried out that atrocity was James Warren Jones, otherwise known as Jim Jones, a self proclaimed Second Coming (God). His exposure to an intensely emotional Pentecostal church service influenced and shaped his future beliefs and actions. In 1960, despite his lack of theological training, Jim Jones became an ordained minister. He made racial equality one of goals. Jim Jones also used fear arousal to recruit his followers by Genocide and thermonuclear war.…
