John Brown's Effect on World History

The pharaoh was undoubtedly the most important terrestrial figure in ancient Egypt and played a significant role in the functioning of Egyptian society. Entrusted with governing the realm of Egypt and providing a link between the Egyptian people and the gods, pharaohs were “an essential element in the maintenance of the position of society in the order of creation”. This idea has been substantiated through the various artefacts located in tombs in the Valley of the Kings, particularly that of Tutankhamun. These finds have shed light on the role and lifestyle of the pharaoh in ancient Egypt. Through the discovery and analysis of these items, historians and archaeologists alike have been able to glean considerable amounts of information in

John Brown came from a line of men who were passionate about their convictions. In 1620, Peter Brown, a passenger aboard the Mayflower and signer of the Mayflower Compact, began the Brown legacy in America (Weiser). John Brown’s grandfather, his namesake, was a captain in the Revolutionary War when he lost his life to dysentery while fighting for his beliefs in 1776. He left behind his wife and ten children, including his five year old son, Owen Brown.

In the article “Mysteries of Egypt” Canadian Museum of History it is explained that mystery surrounds the Egyptian origins. The first civilization was along the Nile River which nourished the Pharaonic Kingdom. The Nile River attracted all sorts of life, like during the pre-dynastic times nomadic hunters grew crops. The first communal project was the building of irrigation canal. The Egyptians believed that the sun represented the eternal cycle of birth, Pharaohs were seen as gods and after death would become immortal and would join the gods. Funerary practices included mummification and the burial in tombs to help the dead find their way. The most impressive tombs are the pyramids they were also vary ambitious projects. And the largest

“Caution, Sir! I am eternally tired of hearing that word caution. It is nothing but the word of cowardice!” (“John Brown”) John Brown, known for his actions prior to the Civil War, spoke these words, and they truly show who he is. Brown, born on May 9, 1800, in Torrington, Connecticut, fought for everything he believed was right all the way up until his death in 1859. He was known mostly as an abolitionist and a freedom fighter, constantly trying to liberate slavery. John Brown’s actions would lead him to having a role in Bleeding Kansas, as well as Harper’s Ferry.

At a young age, John Brown, was introduced to the brutal truth of a slaves life as he watched a boy around his age being beaten with an iron shovel. (page 4) That’s when everything changed for Brown and wanted to do something about it. Abolitionist, was someone who wanted to put an end to slavery, but no one want to free the slaves as much as John Brown did. He was moved by an encounter he had with some liberators arguments, that is when he decided to become more involved in abolitionism. (page 7) This became his top priority, wanting to free as many slaves as he could, even knowing what could happen if he got caught. Brown was also known for being “convinced that God was about to bring the South’s slaves “out of the house of bondage.”. (page 7) Many thought he was crazy for believing that he knew God’s plan for what was going to happen to the slaves. This didn’t stop others for wanting to help in some way, whether it be keeping them hidden or going to fight.

They named him John Jr. Brown and his family moved to Pennsylvania and he bought two hundred acres of land for them to live on. He was an American abolitionist who did not believe in slavery.

The Egyptian pyramids have been the subject of many outlandish claims and construction theories for centuries. The Great Pyramid for example has been associated with pyramid power, curses, Atlantis, Mexican pyramids, Stonehenge, Nazca, the Bermuda Triangle, Biblical prophecy, Martian faces, advanced civilizations, space aliens, cavity resonators, and even levitation. It is not surprising that some who have proposed such theories have been dubbed "pyramidiots". This paper will attempt to give a more logical solution to the methods ancient Egyptians may have had used, and the problems they may have had, using factual information, scientific evidence and a bit of common sense.

The size, outline, and structure of the pyramids uncover the expertise of these old manufacturers. The pyramids were incredible landmarks and tombs for the rulers. The Egyptians trusted that a lord's spirit kept on managing issues of the kingdom even after his passing. To guarantee that they would keep on enjoying the gifts of the divine beings, they safeguarded the pharaoh's body through the embalmment procedure. They fabricated the pyramids to secure the pharaoh's body, the pyramid was an image of expectation, since it would guarantee the pharaoh's union with the divine beings.“The Pyramids.” Egypt: Art and Architecture, St. Petersburg Times. ,

One of the first scholars to make any real headway on the translation was Thomas Young, a British polymath (Silet 1). Being a polymath and not understanding any of the language to begin with, Young meticulously inspected the stone, looking for recurring patterns and recording the number of times each symbol was repeated (Meyerson 123). Young knew that Ptolemys were Greek, so he assumed that the name “Ptolemaios,” spelled in the Greek style, would appear spelled the same way in the hieroglyphic section. Indeed he did find several times the cartouche containing what he believed to spell “Ptolemaios” (Giblet 40). He misunderstood a few of the symbols’ meanings, and it was later discovered that the Egyptian spelling was “Ptolmis,” but Young had taken the first major steps into translating the hieroglyphics (Giblet 41).

This paper will discuss the history of the pyramids, the Pharaohs at the times of construction, and how they were built. The Pyramids of Giza were built on the Giza Plateau by three different Pharaohs. Before the Giza pyramids were ever thought of the first pyramid to be built in Egypt was constructed by a king known as Sneferu, this took place during the old kingdom; his reign was from 2613 BC - 2589 BC(History). According to Professor Joshua J. Mark, Sneferu had made a few pyramids before his best one.

The pyramids were so important to the Egyptians because the pyramids would protect the body of the pharaoh. The death of the pharaoh was considered an important event as the pharaoh would be needed to be protected internally to avoid a cosmic disturbance. My reasoning for this is that while the pharaoh is alive, the pharaoh is believed to be the god Horus and raise the sun. When the pharaoh died, he would be the god Osiris and set the sun. This process would need to continue repeatedly because if the deceased pharaoh, now Osiris, didn't set the sun due to the lack of protection, then the Egyptians believed the sun wouldn't set.

In the deserts of Egypt lie the colossal remains of an ancient civilization. These enormous works of human endeavor are the only member of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World that time has passed down to us. These are, of course, the great pyramids of ancient Egypt. But these imposing structures were not built to impress civilization millennia down the road. The pyramids in fact had a purpose to the ancient Egyptians. While they seem very simple in nature, as they are simply four-sided pyramids with square bases, they had a meaning for those that had them built. Even by today’s standards, the pyramids of ancient Egypt were an impressive feat of engineering, due to their enormous size, both in building materials and finished product.
