In this video clip from the movie, "The Blind Side," Leigh Anne (Sandra Bullock) tries to motivate Michael (Quinton Aaron) while playing football. The levels exemplified in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs here are safety and security needs, belongingness, self-actualization, and cognitive.
Sophocles revisits Oedipus’s past experience with the sphinx to create tension about the future. He does this by having Teiresias and Oedipus get in an argument, and then have Teiresias bring up the sphinx. This makes the reader wonder whether Oedipus will have the same luck in solving the mystery of Laius's death as he did in solving the riddle of the Sphinx. Oedipus relies on the Sphinx story to fuel his argument against Teiresias that he will figure it out without him, because he has done it before without the help of a prophet. He boasts that no one could solve the riddle of the Sphinx besides him, so he will figure out this mystery with no help.
This photo essay demonstrates the value the ancient Egyptians placed in material goods and earthly possessions, even insisting on being buried with them to take to the afterlife. Many of the items Tutankhamen was buried with were things that might have been important to him in his life, and thus buried to be taken with him to the afterlife, however other items, such as the funerary barge and the ornate canopic jars, suggest that these elaborate items are connected to their belief of passage into the afterlife. If this is true, it emphasizes the point that treasures have emotional ties, the ancient Egyptians would have had an emotional connection to whether or not their pharaoh made a safe passage into the
In New Kingdom Egypt, there were many pharaohs that were very important to Egypt. These three pharaohs —Ramses II, Amenhotep II, and Thutmose III— were the three most significant to our understanding of Egyptian civilization. They were significant because either they are the ones you think of when you hear “Ancient Egypt” (chariot battles, large temples, etc.), or because they were innovative, implementing new ideas and technologies that were important to Egypt’s success and had long lasting effects.

Solving the riddle also becomes the key to the story since Oedipus ventures his way along the same pathway as the murders and meets the Sphinx. When Oedipus approaches the Sphinx he solves the riddle and the Sphinx destroys herself making the situation quite a coincidence due to Oedipus’s fate of killing his own father made in prophecy at his own birth. All of these situations lead to Oedipus becoming the King of Thebes and making him very accusable upon the coincidental circumstances.
I believe that understanding this material will allow us to better understand the motivations of the people who lived through this time. It will allow us to understand what motivated these people to achieve so much in their time. It is through this study into humanities that the ancient Egyptians go from being a mysterious culture that amazes us to humans who shared many of our struggles and fears. We will look at a few pieces of
The Rosetta Stone The Rosetta stone was the key to the decipherment of the Egyptian hieroglyphs. The Rosetta stone was used to understand Egyptian hieroglyphics, and is what has allowed us to learn and discover more about Egyptian history. The historic discovery of the Rosetta stone is a bounteous history.
In the story of Oedipus, he is known throughout Thebes as the man who defeated the great Sphinx by solving its riddle and the King, but what got him here? As we know from the myth of Oedipus, he answers the riddle correctly and the goes on to kill the Sphinx and become king. But what happened beforehand is
Once again the main priority of getting accepted into the afterlife resulted in the bettering of the mummification process. To conclude, the creation of different types of amulets, tombs and the preparation of a body for burial, helped the Egyptians progress their everyday aspects of life, develop on many of their infrastructures and art due to their top priority of getting into the afterlife.

To begin with he is most famous for his tomb discovery in 1922. “He was barely known to the modern world until 1922, when British archaeologist Howard Carter chiseled through a doorway and entered the boy pharaoh’s tomb, which had remained sealed for more than 3,200 years”. This discovery was so important because it gave the world a glimpse at what ancient Egypt was like. The tomb was perfectly preserved and was full of ancient artifacts that gave us information that we didn't

Powerful pharaohs commissioned exquisite and special burials for themselves in order to secure a “good” afterlife and protect their “ka.” Gardner further opines that the common goal for all Egyptians was to advance to the afterlife. Evidence of this Egyptian goal was prominent in the Judgement of Hunefer. Depicting the Egyptian belief of afterlife and deities, the Judgement of Hunefer demonstrates the importance Egyptians placed upon their deities and afterlife. In fact, the process of burial in pyramids was to ensure that the individuals had a good life in the afterlife. Their entire burial processes revolved upon the belief in deities and afterlife. As a result, much of early Egyptian artwork, including the pyramids, are tangibly related to the importance of deities and
