its resulting products; customary usage refers

Death And Burial In Ancient Egypt
1,106 words
To every Egyptian death was seen as a desirable
transformation, the passage of the true eternal
life (Guide to The Valley of The Kings page 159,
1996). Death in no instance was considered a
tragedy or an end but as a welcomed transition
into the Afterlife. As death was of such an
importance it was necessary that great care be
taken for a smooth transition to immortality, this
is a major reason that the Pharaohs contents of
the tomb were of such importance. Egyptians

... te. Arrogance Arrogance results from two
things. First from capability of successfully
managing one's occupation. Secondly from taking
full credit for the success. Of course individual
competence is necessary for success but does it
account for every thing? If we think so, perhaps
we are underestimating contribution of society and
our luck factor for what we are. Man is a social

Assyrian Weapons And Warfare
1,625 words
The Assyrians have long been known as a ruthless
and barbaric people of the ancient civilizations.
While this may be true in some instances, it is
not an entirely accurate view of the Empire of
Assyria. The Assyrians took their warfare
seriously; in fact they studied war techniques
like a science (Riley, 45). The Assyrians even had
special schools set up to teach sapping (military
demolition of walls etc. ) and mining city walls
(Riley, 45). The Assyrians were the innovators of

Make Good Neighbors False Sense Of Security
825 words
Walls and Borders Do "good fences really make good
neighbors?" (666) Robert Frost's poem Mending Wall
examines this as a local issue. It can also be
interpreted as a global issue. Frost writes about
two neighbor farmers and how a wall between their
property effects the relationship between the two.
Taking a more global look at the issue, the
conflict in the former Yugoslavia relates to
Mending Wall. Perhaps "good fences" give people a
false sense of security. Robert Frost's poem,

Gram Positive And Negative Bacteria

Gram Positive and Gram Negative Bacteria It is a
well-known fact that bacterial cells, like plant
cells, are surrounded by a cell wall. However, few
people know that their cell walls are quite
different. Bacterial cell walls are made up of
polysaccharide chains linked to amino acids. At

same way, bacterial cell walls themselves differ
from one another. Scientists distinguish two types
