During the seventh millennium BC Minoan civilization inhabited Knossos, the capital of Minoan Crete until 1375, which marked the end of Minoan civilization. After an earthquake destroyed the first palace in 1375, the palace was rebuilt to become something magnificent even in todays terms. It begins with Greek mythology when according to script, architect Dedalos designed something so extraordinary that King Minos who commissioned the palace held Dedalos captive to prevent the prisoner from introducing the palace plan to anyone else. However, Dedalos had built two sets of wings enabling himself and his son to fly off the island. After actually setting off, his son flew too close to the sun, melting the wings that supported him resulting in his

Luca argues that the shah ‘promoted western values and culture, whilst gaining control of the customary sectors of the Iranian society. This included religion, education and the bazaars’ . This is backed up by Kamran Matin, who states that he attempted to liberalize Iran through his attempt to ‘modernize the bazaars, irritating merchants of the bazaars with his policies such as obligatory membership and dues. He also interfered in the political, economical and religious concerns of the Iranians ’. Trenta further extends the argument and argues that this ‘westoxication of Iran culture and society angered religious leaders. The bazaaris also resented the impositions such as price controls and having to make room for western size malls’ . Trenta further extends her argument and highlights that ‘the Iranian opposition groups viewed and interpreted the interest and intention of liberalizing Iran as a response to the election of President Jimmy Carter in November 1976 as Human Rights was his ‘corner stone’ in foreign policy’ . Due to this coincidence, the Iranian people began to build resentment towards the Shah and his regime. The opposition grew as the Iranians viewed the Shah as a ‘puppet of the united states’ . Trenta argues that the election of ‘Jimmy carter and his rhetoric of Human Rights was merely a coincidence’ .

According to the article, “searing memories of Nazi Germany’s First concentration camp,” by Soraya Sarhaddi Neison, “The original plan was to house 5,000 political prisoners,” However, an “SS leader Henrich Himmer extended Dachau’s mandate to forced labor, the prisoners of war.” This states that the camps didn’t start out as deadly as it came to be. However, survivor, Max Mannheimer, states “Dachau was less evil than other camps I experienced.” So, the camp was indeed deadly but not as deadly than the other

John became a Carmelite monk at Medina del Campo, Spain, in 1563 and was ordained priest in 1567. St. Teresa of Ávila, the celebrated mystic, enlisted his help (1568) in her restoration of Carmelite life to its original observance of austerity. A year later, at Duruelo, he opened the first Discalced Carmelite monastery. Reform, however, caused friction within the order and led to his imprisonment, first in 1576 and again in 1577 at Toledo, where he wrote some of his finest poetry. Escaping in August 1578, he later won high office in the order, becoming vicar provincial of Andalusia from 1585 to 1587. Near the end of his life, the Discalced Carmelites were again troubled by dissension, and he withdrew to absolute
