with agriculture. One of the commonest of the
tribal fetishes was the falcon, which later became
identified with the sky, maybe because the falcon
was able to fly so high. Horus, was the most
powerful of the falcon-deities, his people

Kara Byers 1 CH tutor: Dr. Gerard Mc Cartan It
took several thousand years to establish a
satisfactory calendar. Even in this century not
all the countries in Europe kept the same
calendar. Why was it so difficult? Do we really
need an accurate means of recording civil time?
Astronomy originated earlier in human history than
the other natural sciences. In the earliest
civilisations, the divine or occult was used to
explain the movement of the stars and the Sun: the
Aztecs, for example, believed ...

... to compare to the great houses in which the
Pharaoh or other important persons had lived
(Badawy 47). The burial chambers of the mastaba,
along with those of virtually all other forms of

this "everyday life", where the spirit experiences
all the aspects of their mortal life on earth.

reason. There are many different and often
conflicting theories in regard to the construction

What is this civilized thing called writing?
Modern linguists define writing as a system of
human communication by means of conventional,
agreed-upon signals that represent language. The
signs must be capable of being sent and received,
mutually understood, and they must correspond to
spoken words. Each written means began with simple
pictures and plain strokes or dots - adequate for
recording objects and numbers. Of all the creation
of man, writing is our most exquisite intellectual

Egyptian Influence On Ancient Rome

Egyptian influence on Ancient Rome The history of
such city as Rome indeed is a history of the whole
world that is almost impossible to be retold in

the capital of the whole ancient world and it was
the capital of Christianity. These two features,
of course, put a great mark on the citys fate. The
Romans were able to control their large empire for
a long period of time because they setup an

international conflicts have more than one side,

God tiptoes and dances upon a thread as thin as

a humane and fair lord, who punishes only the
deserving. Critics have read, reread, studied, and
analyzed the Old Testament until they were blue in
the face. Many have come up with the fact that God
