environment in which they inhabited. With Knowledge came the dawn of a new breed of gods.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 passage from “Enuma Elish” reveals that water was a precious element to the Balbylonians; it was difficult to find water because they lived in such dry and barren land. In Babylonian culture, Titmat became the Earth, which literally made her, Mother Earth, therefore making the land and agriculture important to the civilization. “The Creation of the Titans and Gods” shows that the people of Greece were abundant in agriculture thanks to Zeus; although Mother Earth and Zeus are not the same, they had the same value in society and that they had created the land the people lived on. Not only were the land, water and agriculture important in society, but also the society and structure itself was a growing matter. The myth, “The Creation, Death, and Rebirth of the Universe” tells of a message that was sent throughout the people of India about their roll in society. In order for one to be the best of their abilities, they must work within their social cast and not be removed from said placing. In a Chinese teaching, called “The Creation of the Universe and Human Beings”, the people believed in the wealthy and the poor; “The people whom Nu Kua had fashioned by hand from the rich yellow earth of the riverbed were high-born, wealthy, and intelligent. But the people who had fallen in drops from her rope were low-born, poor, common folk.”

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.

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.

A reed was formed from the Earth becoming the god Kuni-toko-tachi no Mikoto. Furthermore, more gods were evolved which had both female and male. Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto were the important ones here. They talked about how the earth was lacking things. They through their heavenly spear to create an ocean. After this, they created islands and the islands had deities which created rivers and mountains.

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 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:

The caves within the mountains are deep and narrow; they lead into multiple rooms, which are connected through tunnels. These caves were a host for Buddhist worshippers throughout the years, and were a hideaway and a military airbase for the US Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. The place is still a popular religious destination for Buddhists in South East Asia. The marks of bullets on walls and ancient sculptures instantly

The word of God brought everything into being: heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, and every living thing. In the beginning, God called into existence the heaven and earth. Within six days and he shaped a world of order and beauty.

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.
