Rosalina's Golden Coffin

Between how the empty tomb was discovered, who discovered it, who told the discoverers where Jesus had gone, there were many differences in these stories details pertaining to this. Another vast difference came in the reactions to what the storytellers told the disciples and who Jesus appeared to in regards to getting others to believe what has happened. Matthew 27, the crucifixion was one that is very familiar to many Christians; this story doesn’t often stray from its basis. The one new thing I did learn was that two rebels were executed with Him and even they cursed Jesus’ name at the time. One of my favorite differences between Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were when the message of Jesus’ resurrection was told to people. Between the angel, the young man with a white robe, two men in gleaming robes, or Jesus himself, the stories all came from a different perspective but for the most part were very similar and that specifically was interesting to research.

At last Santiago caught a glimpse of the pyramids and he knew his relentless pursuit to find the treasure was near, Santiago’s legs felt like jelly and he was drenched in sweat. He lifted his chin and dragged his feet with determination in the direction of the nearest pyramid, pushing himself forward with his trustworthy staff that he always carried with him. His feet sliding in the sand made his walk even more treacherous and difficult. When he reached the base of the pyramid he climbed up and found himself a good spot to start digging, recalling his dream for clues on its location. When he was digging in the almost dark sky with his bare hands and fingers he spotted three strangers wearing Arab clothing and dark scarf’s around their faces.

Now one of China’s most famous archaeological discoveries, the terracotta army was discovered completely on accident in 1974, when farmers were digging deep underground to create a well shaft. The farmers discovered fragments of a terracotta figure, along with bronze weapon pieces and a layer of bricks as they dug, prompting them to contact local authorities to investigate. In just over forty years since then, excavations have uncovered a sprawling model city underneath the earth, spanning miles and containing everything one emperor, Qin Shi Huangdi, required for a paradisiacal afterlife.

The book begins talking about the J. Paul Getty Museum and an art dealer named Gianfranco Becchina. This art dealer believed that he had the statue of Kouros that dated back from the sixth century BC. There were only two-hundred of these in the world, but most of them were in terrible shape. The one Bucchina possessed was in near perfect condition, and he wanted to sell his for roughly $10 million. Bucchina had a variety of documents on this statue, and a geologist by the name of Stanley Margolis

During the Norton’s almost daily 2 p.m., 50-minute tour of the museum, visitors were taken through the American, Chinese and Contemporary collections while neglecting all three exhibits including: “Going Places: Transportation Designs,” Terry Haggerty’s lobby installation, and “The Summer of ’68.”

Ominous, monolithic wooden doors, slanted backwards to accentuate their apparent height, swing slowly and automatically outward, beckoning the carefully counted herd of visitors into a darkened room lit only with eerie blue light trickling out of hieroglyphic sconces. Doors close behind, the lights dim - so begins the visitor’s journey among the treasures of ancient Egypt. Each visitor’s Egyptian immersion, however, started long before entering the “Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs” exhibit at the San Francisco De Young museum. The ancient Egyptian “mega-myth” – of grandiose and opulent Pharaohs, majestic, mysterious pyramids, sphinxes, Cleopatra, Ramesses, and of course King Tut – is deeply ingrained through popular

Homo heidelbergensis emerged during the middle Pleistocene and they started to work in teams in order to hunt and gather food. Working in teams requires some form of communication and it implies a social order was beginning to be established within Homo heidelbergensis. That is why they buried their dead because they were a rudimentary community, and a funeral is always viewed as a social event. A funeral is an event to honor the dead, but its main purpose is to gather the community together and help them grieve for loss of their loved ones. Therefore, the main purpose of a funeral is to help the community coup with the loss of an individual within their community. Therefore, Homo heidelbergensis burial in Sima de los Huesos, may mark the

Death. Death is all I have been thinking about. Death is the only thing I can think about. I am about to tell the reader of this diary what I know so far about my ghastly situation.

One of the mind-blowing stair constructions was found in the Royal Tomb, located underneath the Temple of the Sun. It was the very first building that Hiram Bingham discovered. It has a finely carved staircase, high niches, and lithic pegs. The special aspect of the tomb is the symbolic staircase carved into a large granite rock with the in situ technique. The outside has a large rock formation with 3 steps, this is symbolic of the Pachamama, “Mother Earth,” the earth elements simplifies and regenerates. Therefore the Andeans praise “her” daily activity, because every step on earth is connected to “her” energy. The natives give Mother Earth energy (“hoocha”), and she gives back new light energy (“sami”), symbolically a regeneration of life. Therefore, there is symbolic anaylsis that allowed deisngers to base their constructions on.

Another endless, but interesting facet of the Chelsea not to be overlooked, were the once abundant displays of art work by many artists passing through the Chelsea hotel. The art, filling the staircase and lobby of the Hotel

I believe this experience has impacted my way of thinking that ordinary objects and people can achieve greatness; it would be a privilege to me to tell these stories. After Graduation, I’ll be attending Wichita State University pursuing a doctorate’s degree in Cultural Anthropology with a minor in museums studies. In the future, I want to manage a museum by becoming a curator. I hope to spread my knowledge of the past in order to educate the minds of the

Inside the tent I prepare the body for the funeral first it is wrapped in linen then wrapped in hemp*, when done it looks like a mummy. Next I get dressed for the ceremony, I dress myself in black bear skins and fasten an elk rack on my head. When I feel that everything is set inside the tent I grab a piece of cheese and very carefully make my way out of the tent, making sure that the headdress does not get trapped in the flaps of the tent. I take a bite of the cheese and look around the grove, I see the the bull is ready and the altar is set, but the pyre has not be build. Rufus where are you we need some wood for the pyre.

The first story was a music video that had a symbolic meaning. A summary of the video was a man who was in surgery and then awoke and realized what was happening and wanted to get away and never got to because the people were holding him back. Then, he is shown in a casket-like box to make it look like the people killed him. The symbolic meaning to this story is that he is in some type of relationship that he really wants to get out of because he thinks it is hurting him but the other people are holding him back causing him suffering. The casket-like box and him in it was symbolizing that he thinks this relationship is so harmful it may kill him. The purpose of this story was to inform someone that he is in a relationship with that he thinks
