The book of Sella MONDE PROLOGUE In the beginning of everything, the gods were gracious and kind to form a world fit for their people. Blessed with prosperous, green lands; various breeds of animals, for food; the highest mountains made of strong gray stone, for shelter. It is said that in these very mountains (the Argenmoon Mountains), the first people built their dens as means of protection, and they began to call themselves, Dwellers. For a long time, the only residence known to these Dwellers were inside the depths of the Argenmoon Mountains. As the number of families kept increasing, the shelter they provided was not enough. The gods graced one man, named Manus, with power and vision. He foresaw the possibility of using rock from the mountains to build their homes on the lands below—this way, the water would be …show more content…
The Argenmoon Mountains, with their crescent shape, loomed behind these lands, protectively covering them like a guarding shield. Over the years the Castle grew in size; sections of floors were added for rooms. The Grand Ballroom was constructed for celebration purposes; and the Twin Towers, for means of watch. High walls became the surroundings of Castle Grisrock, and with the King’s family also growing in number; houses were built beyond these walls and were later called the Domains. The Dwellers, by orders of King Manus, spread out into the world of Mondé—except through the Vast Lands, which were the rocky, barren lands, behind the mountains—and they built cities and small communities where they lived and worked for the King and his royal family. In addition, the King created three Orders for the protection and wellbeing of his world. The Order of the Illustrious; formed by men of superior intelligence and the ability to resolve problems—their priority, to help the King make asserted decisions or guide him toward the correct
Evolutions of civilizations can occur because of differences in people’s religion, culture, or geographic setting of the settlement. The relationship between the world of the gods and that of men was perceived differently by the Sumerians, Egyptians, and Hebrew ancient civilizations. This is demonstrated by the way each group viewed the process of creation. They had different thoughts on the creation of their gods, the universe and of man. This essay will discuss the relationship between humans and their gods in three different ancient civilizations: Sumerian, Egyptian and Hebrew.
Elden Pueblo was home to The Sinagua. The Sinagua is a early Spanish term for “without water”. The Sinagua people lived off a hunting and gathering lifestyle. They hunted animals like elk and mule deer. They fathered plants in the forest and grew crops. They had farm plots with a system of check dams and irrigation ditches. This allows the water to reach the plants. Their homes consisted of a stone-lined pithouse. In the 11th Century, Sunset Crater erupted. There was also a twenty year drought which displaced many people to seek location in higher elevations.
American writer David Sedaris is a distinguished person. He has nine essay collections, most of which are best sellers. It all started with “SantaLand Diaries,” an essay that was the spark to his flaring fame. He is the second of six children and was born and raised in North Carolina but has been living in Europe for a long time with his partner Hugh Hamrick. His works receive critical acclaim and adoration from readers. His works were nominated to and won several awards as well. (Wikipedia, “David Sedaris”)
The world of the ancient Near East believed in a creator deity as member within a plethora of deities; that is, there was no supreme being. Within this plethora, each deity held a specific responsibility, representing such matters as order, justice, love, and truth, to name but a few. Among ANE inhabitants, according to Philip J. Nel, “a normative principle of justice was maintained as part and parcel of the created universe. The human life-world and the order of nature were seen as inextricable entwined.” It is not surprising, therefore, how ancient civilizations understood justice to be a concomitant attribute of a deity within a pantheon of deities; a pantheon where members had origins and, in most instances, were familial in nature. According to their understanding of creation, ancient civilizations held views on social and economic justice as a means that would “facilitate the service of the community to the divine world.” Nel observes that, “The principle of justice was . . . not so much regarded as a system of moral order, but rather the assumption of an existing/created autonomous design/order which should be upheld and adhered to in all sectors of society.” The Sumerians, and the Egyptians, serve as examples.
The Sioux creation story and the book of Genesis in the Bible both mirror an image of how the world along with human life was created. When forming their creations they were dissimilar in the way they produced water and land. In Genesis God created water by just a spoken word and it would appear. However, the Creating Power would form his creations with objects using his hands to form land from mud the story states “He sang all the while that he shaped the mud in his hands and spread it on the water to make a spot of dry land for himself.” Additionally, he completely covers everything with land by a command and using feathers from an eagle by waving them over the spot he had produced. Both of these stories reveal that in a previous time their God was unpleased with what he had created so he destroyed the world because of the people’s acts of immorality and unruliness. Also, this gives reflection on the role of the natural world being impure, failed and contaminated by sin and only the grace of “God” can save them. When God or the “Creating Power” recreated the world in their effort to maintain order people needed to understand how powerful and almighty they were by being able to create life or to end it.
If you leave your car behind and join a ranger-led hike in Southwest Colorado's Mesa Verde National Park, you'll find yourself at a spot where the scrubby pinyon-juniper forest drops off. It falls into a sandstone chasm. It reveals a maze of 800-year-old stone dwellings. They are wedged beneath an overhang in the canyon wall. They're so well preserved that it's easy to imagine you've stepped back in time. And that nothing has changed in this high desert landscape since the Ancestral Puebloans built these chambers. They were built in the 12th century.
That was a rather embarrassing collegiate polo career! Thank you so much for bearing with me one more time yesterday at Mona Plummer. It was exceptionally long that the fresh and colorful flowers my friend brought me were dying, maybe died. Shout-out to Keeve's family coming out to support and every single of you. I've been truly blessed and grateful to play as a Sun Devil at the home pool. Despite my mediocre performance, I'd say I did a pretty solid job to give my favorites hell as always. Carry on! Devils. Certainly, It's always personal and Thank you again.

In George Bernard Shaw's play Saint Joan, the main character, the Inquisitor, is attempting to persuade a church court to condemn Joan of Arc as a heretic through allusion, hyperbole, and ethos and pathos.
In this essay I will be discussing how Minoan peak sanctuaries have been constituted and altered through social practice. Peak sanctuaries are natural spaces which have been altered through social practices in order to create a religious relationship between the space within the peak sanctuary and the people in the settlement. There is limited information on peak sanctuaries due to them having a poor publication record. Briault (2007: 122). However, we do know that peak sanctuaries were religious cult places that where located in the mountains in various places throughout Crete with fifty sites having been claimed as peak sanctuaries, although only 23 of those claimed sites have been excavated and identified as peak sanctuaries. Peatfield (1987:
DILI is currently the leading cause of acute liver failure in the USA and Europe. In addition, DILI is also the primary cause of attrition in drug development and is one of the most common reasons for drug withdrawal from the marketplace, restrictions of indication and project terminations. Between 1969 and 2002 12 out of 76 drugs removed from the market were due to DILI [1]. Not only does the lack of specific detection of DILI lead to drugs causing harm and being removed from the market but false positives can also lead to unnecessary attrition and non-approval of drugs therefore preventing patients from accessing beneficial drugs and also creating an economical issue. The wide range of DILI clinical presentation and offending agents, the
In the beginning of the myth, the gods Plumed Serpent and Hurricane created the first plant life and the mountains on Earth. As time went by, the gods felt there was something missing because there was no noise on the planet. They then created animals to live in the forests. Once the animals were created, the gods had the intention of having the animals speak. Without language, the animals could not worship the gods properly. This left the gods unsatisfied. With this, the gods decided to create humans. The humans would be able to worship the gods and the animals would stay in the forests to serve the needs of man.
Although, from the outside, the Tower of London is not very lavish when compared with the majestic, grand, and intricate buildings in England, it was once a desired place for royals to stay - whether for one night or longer. During the time it was used as a royal residence, it was referred to as The White Tower, and was quite an alluring place. The Tower of London (or The White Tower) consisted of several buildings surrounded by a wall and mote. Later on after the construction was completed, Richard the Lionheart, Edward I, and Henry VIII enlarged the complex.
