Memi And Sabu Comparison

Richard Leonard Kuklinski, known as “The Iceman” was born April 11, 1935. Kuklinski was a contract killer who was convicted of 5 murders. Kuklinski was given the nickname “Iceman” for freezing a body of a victim to mask the time when the victim was murdered. Kuklinski lived with his wife Barbara Kuklinski and 3 children in the suburb of Dumont, New Jersey. Prior to his arrest, his family was apparently unaware of Kuklinski's double life and crimes. Kuklinski was a contract killer for Newark's DeCavalcante crime family and New York City's Five Families of the American Mafia. Kuklinski favored to murder people with sodium cyanide since it killed very quickly and also was hard to detect. With Cyanide, Kuklinski would simply kill the victim by either injecting the cyanide in them, putting it in the victim’s food, aerosol spray or spilling it on the victim’s skin. After killing his victim, he will dispose the body in a 55-gallon oil drum. Other ways Kuklinski would dispose the body were either burying the body or putting the body in the trunk of a car then having it crushed in the junkyard. Kuklinski says that Robert Pronge, nicknamed “Mr. Softee” has taught him different methods to use cyanide to kill his victims. Pronge allegedly asked him to carry out a hit on Pronge's

The Eagle-headed Apkallu Guardian Figure is a low relief sculpture from 883-859 B.C. Assyria. Made from gypsum, this sculpture measures approximately 42 1/8 inches tall, 26 inches wide and 1 ½ inches thick. The sculpture is mounted on the wall of the dark, navy-blue painted Antiquities section of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, dimly lit by the luminance of showcase lights. The guardian figure watches over the room as visitors pass through the archway between two exhibits of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. In The Eagle-headed Apkallu Guardian Figure, the artist uses compositional choices, stylistic

The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu statue was used in the ancient tombs and burial grounds of Ancient Egypt. The purpose of the statue was to give the deceased spirits a home and a place where they could received the gifts of food that used to be laid outside their tomb after they had passed away (Metropolitan Museum of Art a, 2016). The Statue of Gudea was used to honour the lives of the rulers in Ancient Iraq. The statue was one of many that were placed in temples throughout the Lagash region of Iraq honouring the great leader (Metropolitan Museum of Art b, 2016).

Many people are split on the idea of whether or not college athletes should be payed to play. Student athletes are dedicated to a variety of sports. According to a 2011 lawsuit that dealt with a major university, the average athletic program spends anywhere from five to six hours a day practicing. These athletes are playing sports voluntarily, they are not being hired to. All the time the athletes spend practicing they are doing so by their own free will. College athletes should not be paid for playing their sports for multiple reasons. The paid athletes will no longer have the same passion or competitive nature, and they are already compensated in the form of big scholarships.

This is proof of the Sumerian architectural abilities. The architecture in Mesopotamia are considered to have been contemporary with the founding of the Sumerian cities, but there was some complexity in the architectural design during this Protoliterate period (c. 3400-c. 2900 BC). This is shown in the design of many religious buildings. Typical temples of the Protoliterate period--both the platform type and the type built at ground level--are, however, much more elaborate both in planning and ornament. The interior was decorated with cones sunk into the wall, covered in bronze. Most cities were simple in structure, but the ziggurat was one of the world's first complex architectural structures.

All over the world statues have been a common form of art among many civilizations throughout history. Two examples of these historical pieces of work would include, The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu, and Statue of Gudea. According to The Metropolitan Museum of Art (2017), the first sculpture dates back during the fourth dynasty of ancient Egypt between 2575 and 2465 BC. The second statue, according to The Metropolitan Museum of Art (2017), which was made of diorite was created around 2090 BC, during the Neo-Sumerian period, near Mesopotamia. Looking further into the background and composition of these two sculptures it can be found that The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu, and Statue of Gudea share some characteristics while at the same time differing in some important details.

Mesopotamia’s ziggurats and Egypt’s pyramids have mostly the same the same structure and concept. Although, these monuments do serve different functions and were made by different materials.

In this essay I will attempt to make justice to the overwhelming contrast of two sculptures, The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu and a Statue of Gudea. The latter mentioned sculpture is believed to be at least 485 years older than the first, but still, seems subsequent in evolving forms of art. Being a portrait of a character of great legacy, the Statue of Gudea does exactly what is intended even in modern times- evokes a feeling of admiration and serenity towards this leader.

The two sculptures presented for this assignment are the Statue of Gudea, which dates back to 2090 B.C. (“Statue of Gudea,” 2000) and The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu, which dates back to 2575–2465 B.C. (“The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu,” 2000). Both statues represent people; however, they depict different types of people from completely different time periods and cultural backgrounds. The Statue of Gudea shows the ruler of southern Mesopotamian, Gudea, whose reign was from 2144-2124 B.C. (“The votive statue of Gudea: A formal analysis,” 2011) sitting in a praying position with his hands locked and his eyes forward. He is dressed in what appears to be a lavish robe with an inscription that clearly depicts what Gudea thought of himself and his successes during his time as ruler. The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu represent what is thought to be a married ancient Egyptian couple who are lovingly embracing each other. Aside from looking at

In the text the author states, “ The pyramids are harmonious because limestone, a warm, quiet material, is a cordial companion for a simple, logical, pleasing shape. In fact, the stone and the shape are so comfortable with each other that the pyramids seem inevitable –as though they were bound to have the form, color, and texture that

From the introduction above, we can note that the statue of Memi and Sabu was dated to Dynasty 4, which was around 2575 to 2465 B.C. It was coated all over and/or painted with limestone and the likeness of it consisted of a couple that were deemed as having been non-royal in status. However, the scripts inscribed on it denoted that this likely couple may actually have a royal acquaintance, (maybe they are could have been priests) especially for being honored. The more reason being that they are dressed in common clothings and the fact that they are not standing or sitting down in any casual position that may be fitting of royalty, can only mean

The artworks of Ancient Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt are both strikingly different and similar at the same time. Consistent is the theme of serving the different gods the two cultures believed in. In Mesopotamia the various city-states each had their own protective deity, and in Egypt they sometimes differed from one dynasty to the next. Whatever the case, with the beginning of kingdoms and rulership came the need to justify a position of power and establish a hierarchy. And as more time passed came also the human need to leave an impression on their world. Looking at the example of the statues of Gudea from the Neo-Sumerian period and the Temple of Ramses II from the New Kingdom of Egypt in the 19th dynasty, will show how both rulers of

The limestone’s that were used to build the pyramids were taken from quarries along the Nile River. When the building was completed the Great Pyramid was surfaced using white casing stones that slanted and were flat at the top (Krystek, 2010). The smooth blocks were beautiful, extremely well polished and white. This came to be known as the Casing Stones (Krystek, 2010). These have since then been cut off by Arabs who use them to build mosques in Cairo. However, a few of them still remain. Before the Arabs begun to strip off the casing stones they were very beautiful to look at. The original pyramid with its white casing would operate like humongous mirrors that powerfully reflected light on the moon and be seen like a star on earth (gizapyramid.com, 2011).
