Analysis of a Prose Passage by Ralph Waldo Emerson

I found it interesting that there are people in history that we learn about in the

Looking at an artifact’s physical attributes is always the first step to uncovering the archaeological significance

"In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, - no disgrace, no calamity (leaving me my eyes), which nature cannot repair. Standing on the bare ground, - my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite space, - all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball. I am nothing. I see all. The currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God."

It is amazing how they created a writing system since it helped people talk and just advanced them by making them more educated. For example in document 2 there is a Glyph from the Mayan calendar. It is so cool how they started the calendar and how some of their stone monuments (stelae)

Since these ancient people did not work with writing, this made an obstacle for the archaeologists; who had to create artifacts to help with their studies. They did all they could do, except ignore what can’t be ignored: ancient Americans’ past events.

Torah Scrolls: This object is the most significant to the Synagogue, which is made up of the five books of Moses hand written by a pious scribe. The scrolls are kept inside an Ark of each synagogue and are read aloud in all synagogues four times a week.

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has been described by numerous scholars and biblical commentators as one of the most important finds in archeological history. (Top 10 Most Important Historical Finds) The find occurred in 1947 when a Bedouin shepherd came across sealed jars in a cave containing leather scrolls. The scrolls which were subsequently brought to an antiques dealer in Bethlehem were purchased by a Syrian Orthodox Archbishop named Mar (Athanasius) Samuel.

These scrolls were then examined by a prominent Middle East archaeologist, Dr. William Albright, and were confirmed as originating between the first and second century B.C.

    The first of which takes us to Qumran, Israel. The Dead Sea scrolls have fascinated many archeologists since they were discovered by Bedouin in 1947. These scrolls were composed of over 900 manuscripts and contained every book except Esther. These authentic

I enjoyed reading your post. Like you, I agree that finding the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Masoretic text amazing finds. I feel that the fact that they both pertained the same information and material, despite being discovered at different times in history, the true awe and the main reason that these two finds are significant to historians. Because the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Masoretic text were so parallel to one another in regards of their content and the information that they both possessed, historians can take the information and feel more confident that the information given is more accurate. Now if the two did not pertain the same information, then I feel as if they would still matter as separate pieces because of what they are; however,

Recently my Treasure Hunting Club took a trip to Boston, Massachusetts. We went to the historical area to do some metal detecting. Much to my surprise I unearthed a very old bottle with a well-preserved manuscript inside. Because of my intense curiosity, I removed the document and read it. The following is what I discovered:

As the years have gone by there have been some successes in finding articles in the pits, including a small piece of parchment that said vi

King Tut's tomb was one of the most famous archaeological finds and is known worldwide. It was found in 1922 and had many historical treasures in the tomb. One of which was the king's death mask.King tut had died in his teens and had a lot of health problems. Another very important finds from ancient Egypt Was the remains of the buzzling ports and barracks for soldiers. This was all found near the Giza pyramids and were being used when the pyramids were being built. It was said that it was to house the pyramid workers. In further discovery, they found that the barracks actually belonged to elite crews of ships because of all the cedar from the levant. They found a broken hip hop hip which proved even more that they were for the crew. The hippo hip being evidence because there were rituals performed by the troops in which they would harpoon them and then eat them in their

On September 19th, 1991, on the Ötztal mountain ridge between Austria and Italy, two mountain hikers accidently discovered a 5,300-year-old corpse, which would become known as the oldest and most intact mummy ever found in human history. The mummy was shortly given the nickname Otzi, after the mountain ridge from where he was found. He was identified as belonging to the Neolithic or Copper age, making him older than the invention of the wheel. Otzi’s body and clothing were able to show living proof about what life would have been like 5,300 years ago. Along with this, the weapons and belongings found with the body not only changed the timeline of man but also helped reveal how the Otzi could have died. An autopsy on the mummy’s

There is much information that is unknown to many about the world. It is reasonable that discovery would fascinate many because of the ability to gain knowledge about the world. Learning about ancestors can bring knowledge about how people in the past had lived and how it can be used to compare today 's society and culture. Written documents enhance the ability to understand the past. These references are not available before the activity writing and recording was done. This time period before writing and recording is called prehistory. In order to understand this period, one would obtain knowledge from research done by evolutionary biologists archaeologists. There was an evolutions for our ancestors called Homo sapiens. There was a paleolithic era and a Neolithic era that is significant with the transition to agriculture.
