The twelve statues known collectively as the Tell Asmar Hoard (Early Dynastic I-II, ca. 2900-2550 B.C.) were unearthed in 1933 at Eshnunna (modern Tell Asmar) in the Diyala Region of Iraq. Despite subsequent finds at this site and others throughout the Greater Mesopotamian area they remain the definitive example of the abstract style of Early Dynastic temple sculpture (2900 BC-2350 BC).In the late 1920s antique dealers in Baghdad were acquiring large quantities of unusual, high quality artifacts from the desert east of the Diyala River, just north of its confluence with the Tigris.[1] In 1929 the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago obtained a concession to excavate the area.[1] James Henry Breasted (1865–1935), the founder of the

Fighting a war against the oppression and persecution of a people, how hypocritical of the American government to harass and punish those based on their heritage. Magnifying the already existing dilemma of discrimination, the bombing of Pearl Harbor introduced Japanese-Americans to the harsh and unjust treatment they were forced to confront for a lifetime to come. Wakatsuki Ko, after thirty-five years of residence in the United States, was still prevented by law from becoming an American citizen.

How do you think you would have handled being a Japanese living in America during World War Two? I would guess not too well, being taken from your home, put into camps, and you were treated like you were less than the rest of the Americans. Even though a lot of the Japanese living in America during this time had done nothing to support Japan, this still happened to them. It happened to Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston, and she tells about it in her book, Farewell to Manzanar. It wasn’t fair, America had other enemies during that time but only the Japanese were sent to camps for that time. The Japanese-American Internment was fueled by more than war time panic. What role did prejudice play in the Japanese-American Relocation? Are there modern day

Farewell to Manzanar is sociologist and writer Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston's first hand account of her interment in the Japanese camps during World War II. Growing up in southern California, she was the youngest of ten children living in a middle-to lower class, but comfortable life style with her large family. In the beginning of her story, she told about how her family was close, but how they drifted apart during and after their internment in the camp. The ironic part of it is that her family spent their entire time together in the same camp. So why did her family drift apart so? What was once the center of the family scene; dinner became concealed with the harsh realities of the camp. This reflects the loss

The internment of Japanese Americans is often a part of history rarely mention in our society. One of these internment camps was Manzanar—a hastily built community in the high desert mountains of California. The sole purpose of Manzanar was to house thousands of Japanese Americans who were held captive by their own country. Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston was interned at Manzanar when she was seven years old with her family. Their only crime was being of Japanese descent. In her memoir, “Farewell to Manzanar,” Mrs. Wakatsuki Houston transcribes a powerful, heart breaking account of her childhood memories and her personal meaning of Manzanar.

The book, Farewell to Manzanar was the story of a young Japanese girl coming of age in the interment camp located in Owens Valley, California. Less than two months after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt signed an Executive Order, which stated that the War Department had the right to declare which people were a threat to the country, and move them wherever they so pleased. Since the West Coast had a large number of Japanese immigrants at the time, the Executive Order was basically an act that authorized the government to remove Japanese residing on the West Coast away from their homes and put them in these interment camps. As harsh as it may sound, the interment camps were nothing like the infamous Nazi interment camps

This spirit told him the book was "a collection of ancient records that had been scribed by him from prehistoric stone tablets from the sunken continent of Yidath, engraved by the first men; and that they were the historical answer to the Gobi ruins he had discovered several years before". The Book of Gates, the spirit told him described the first races whom the First Gods had favored when the first continent of Yidath rose to be the beginning four billions years before Jebidiah's world. According to Jebidiah, Izal was a prophet of the Eemian era world of Cor that the First Gods had led to proclaim their power, and he had transferred the ancient writing onto the Book of Gates for the inevitable coming. Jebidiah stated this Corean world existed some 130,000 years before recorded history, and had been the first recorded human civilization that had, via divine intervention, had been destroyed due to the rejection of those "First Gods". Izal instructed Jebidiah that the book could only be read with a palm sized blue transparent relic called the Seer Stone of Dloth, and only when certain stars formed special circles; for was it intended for true seekers of forbidden knowledge. Jebidiah was allowed to gain the Book for a period of eight years, at which time he was to write about the book in modern language,

Unfair Treatments of Japanese Americans     Many Japanese Americans have been affected similarly during World War II. These effects have greatly impacted their lives styles in the internment camps. In a memoir, “from Farewell to Manzanar” by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James D. Houston, Wakatsuki Houston describes her experience in an internment camp and how it changed her life. She and other Japanese Americans were forced to leave out of their homes into an internment camp until World War II was over. A similar short story, “The Bracelet” by Yoshiko Uchida, a character named Ruri and her family were being evacuated to an internment camp.

Anzaldúa makes several claims against her Mexican-American culture. The first is that the culture considered her “lazy” because she “would pass many hours studying, reading, painting, writing” instead of ironing or cleaning. (38) The second is that “culture is made by those in power-men. Males make the rules and laws; women transmit them.” (38) She goes on to explain that the result of disobedience for these “cultural” rules and laws was typically a beating either by husband or by parents. I thought it was especially important when she also included “the church” when she says that “the culture and the church insist that the women are subservient to males.” It is not enough that this in engrained into the females through the culture,

(Book: “The Story of the Qur 'an, its history and place in Muslim life.” Second edition. Author: Ingrid Mattson. Page 95) When looking at this passage in broader historical context you must start with the events leading up to this point. Muhammad was seen as god 's messenger. He would recite passages of the Quran and the word of god from memory which had been given to him by the Angel Gabriel. He would recite these passages orally, as he was illiterate and could not write. Many of Muhammad 's Sahaba(companions) were able to memorize the whole Quran by heart after Muhammad recited the passages. Once the Prophet died in 632 AD many wanted to complete the Quran and add the finals surahs(chapters of Quran). Many believe that this process was completed in two stages (Mattson, pg 94). The first stage was when Umar the Sahabi or senior companion of muhammad, went to Abu Bakr(father in-law) (the first caliph) and told him, he was concerned that many qurra(reciters) died in the battle of Yamama. He also worried that these qurra would also die in future battles and not be able to provide information on the Quran. In turn, Abu Bakr eventually agreed with Umar and gave the task of collecting the Quran to Zayd Ibn Thabit(one of prophets most reliable scribes). Zayd then proceeded to collect the Qur 'an passages from parchments, chest of men, and from the other companions themselves. (Mattson, pg 95). The general rule he followed was that the passages had to be verified by two witnesses.

West wonder at how much we all take for granted, and how too often we
