Movement of a pre historic culture The Nebulosa Chain
Introduction

The Nebulosa Chain is a chain of Islands that stretch from the Digitus Peninsula of Illysium to Obscurata at the East. The Islands were formed by volcanoes and are named after the thick fogs that surround the area caused by warm and cold currents running through the area. These two nations have been in a constant feud and frontier dispute because of this and the fact that the two nations speak different languages there is not a lot exchange in information between them. The people that once inhabited these islands were known as the Lert population. When European sailors came over in the late seventeenth century they brought diseases with them and the Lert were almost killed off. One of the sailors described this culture as amazing seamen with sturdy and fast skin-covered boats. They had semi-subterranean homes next to the seashore and had bone harpoons with stone as the tips for hunting sea animals.

Recently archeological research here has been supported by the Illysium government in hopes to declare that the Lerts originated from there mainland opposed to from the eastern nation of Obscurata. There are approximately 10 islands in between the peninsula on the west and Obscurata to the east. There have been16 sites, from both nations and the islands that have been found, with four of them having undergone excavations. The four excavated sites are Foggy Bottom on Drygalski Island, Echinus Bay on Helios Island, Hecate beach on Erebus, and Lingula Inlet on the mainland of Illysium. (Fig.1) Some of the typical artifacts found from the Nebulosa Islands include; Bone and Ivory tools such as toggling harpoon heads, barbed harpoon heads, hooks and labrets; Obsidian and Chert tools like prismatic cores, both large and micro blades, bifacial discoid scrapers, bifacial burins, bifacial send set points, bifacial points, and bifacial knives. A few ground slate tools were found such as knives and end-set harpoon heads. One site even had igneous rock worked in to

    In the article Body Ritual Among The Nacirema by Horace Miner, he makes fun of people’s weaknesses, mistakes, foolishness, and wrong behavior. He uses confusing vocabulary words to make it hard for use to know who the article is talking about. Miner refers Nacirema as to America. He wanted to make Nacirema seem magical and silly by describing them as born with behaviors. Miner also, believes that Nacierma do bizarra thing because he does not understand the meaning behind their behavior. One of the behavior is the belief in the ugliness of human body. In society, we are told what is pretty from what is ugly. This is determined by models, hairdressers, barber shop, spa, and infomercial. As a society, we have the power to decided what is right…

    Sandstones of the Lillevannet Member are very mature and were deposited in fluvial and shallow marine environments. These sediments are conformably overlain by mudrocks and sandstones of the Innerevla Member yielding Ediacara-type fossils. The latter, originally described by Farmer et al. (1992), consist of various genera of discoidal forms, but this is in need of more documentation (Fedonkin et al. 2007, p. 199). During recent field expeditions by the "Digermulen Early Life Research Group", where the applicant is a member, new Ediacara-type fossils and other traces of early life were discovered in sections along the eastern part of the peninsula (Fig. 3), the only area in Scandinavia where Ediacara-type fossils have been found. Interestingly, the apparent lack of trace fossils may be an indication that the Ediacara-type fossils from the Digermulen Peninsula in fact are older than comparable ones from the White Sea (>555 Ma), which also could explain the lack of more complex forms such as Dickinsonia (Fig. 2). Other explanations are possible, including lack of preservation (see recent discussion in Boag et al. 2016). Narbonne (2005) included the Innerelva Member fossils in his category of Fermeuse-style preservation,…

    In the everyday life of the perceived “normal” individual, rituals and rites performed by individuals as part of a different culture might seem harsh, cruel or even barbaric. After my first read of "Body Ritual among the Nacirema", that is how I perceived their daily way of life. They believe in magic potions, seeking pain from the “holy – mouth – men” a couple of times a year, and the men and women perform acts that seem to contradict one another by trying to obtain abnormal body shapes, and then the men cut their face daily and the women “bake their heads in small ovens for about an hour”. What I discovered when reading this article again was that the author, Sir Horatio Galbraith, put a spin on words in many different ways, but this article just goes to show that what may seem normal to you could be portrayed as a terrible way to conduct daily life to others.…

    Before concluding the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely palean, the evidence given in the argument should be examined from several other angles. The author seems to have assumed that Woven baskets found in Lithos were not from Palean since the Brim River between Palean and Litho is deep and broad and no boats found without examining any other factors which may have affected the result.…

    After searching the island and taking survey of what were still here, questions then arise. How did the people of this island transport these statues that stood 33 feet tall, and weighed up to 99 tons as far as 6.2 miles from where they were constructed in the quarries to the coastal sites where they were positioned? What happened to the people who once populated this island? Who were these people, culture, nationality and traditions? Last but not least, where were all the trees and vegetation that once occupied this island?…

    Long before it was discovered by later more minor civilizations, the people of the now called Christmas Island were the greatest inventors, governors, and intellectuals the world had ever seen. They built prehistoric skyscrapers that rivaled the creations of their Gods! They had expanded their own lifespans and had such scientific advantage that they felt immortality was nearly achievable. They prided themselves on their beliefs in pacifism and isolationism and rather than spending money on wars overseas, risking the discovery of their civilization, they spent money on advancement and the welfare of the people. This civilization was called Brachua.…

    The work of Arthur Evans in exploring Ancient Minoan civilisation on the island of Crete has significantly contributed to our understanding of the past. In examining his work, three observations may be made about Evans archaeological examinations. The interpretation and reconstruction of a site should not be influenced by archaeologist’s preconceived ideas, in investigating the past it is important to record and present observations and by using typology archaeologists are able to cross compare dates and sites. Evans work in the reconstruction of the palace of Knossos caused a controversial divide in the archaeological community.…

She maintained a lifelong interest in the culture and customs of her homeland. She came to the United States as an immigrant from the Soviet government in 1949 after earning a Doctor of Philosophy degree in archaeology in 1946 at Tubingen University in Germany.

    Since we don't actually know how Indian tribes, over 500 to 600 of them, got to California there have been three theories made. The most well- known, the Bering Strait theory, informed us that the tribes might have descended from northern Asia and migrated, crossing over a land bridge, from Siberia to Alaska. Another theory is the Multiple Migration theory, which told us that the Indians migrated from many places in different ways to arrive in California. In addition to these two theories there is the Indigenous Origin theory, which apprised us that the Indians had been to California since the first day of light when sky people fell to earth, as their ancestors came from a world below through a vertical tunnel. One of these tribes, the Yana tribe, was an independent tribe who had settled in Northern California between the Feather and Pit rivers.…
