Sources In Reconstructing The Past

The purpose of this journal was to inform scholars and readers about the country of Egypt and its origins: the Ancient Egyption civilization and how it was built upon nature itself. The value of Hansen’s journal gives the perspective of a whole new world and geographical features. Egypt is surrounded by harsh unlivable climats, but the civilization was able to last over 500 years by using their geographical resources to their advantage to create faith, protection, and life as described by Kathy. Kathy has a PHD that she gained from Union University and is an associate publisher of Quintessential Careers. Despite the highly informative ideas, a limitation of the book is that it was written to describe Egyptian environmental aspects for readers to learn more about Egypt and maybe the desire to someday travel to Egypt. The book may have the perspective of a sort of travel guide showing a small bais while, trying to persuade people to travel to

The history of ancient Egypt is divided into three blocks of time referred to as kingdoms. The kingdoms were named as the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom. This essay highlights the differences among the three kingdoms in terms of politics, economics, sculpture, and architecture.

Two ancient contributions that influence our culture today is the Gregorian Calendar and the transportation system of ancient Romans. The first contribution is the transportation system of the ancient Romans was very useful for the Romans. Roads were used to link far-away provinces with Rome (Doc. 3). They were very helpful for drainage (OI). The army used them to move soldiers quickly from area to area (Doc. 3). Traders used the roads to sell goods and food throughout the empire (Doc. 3) Another contribution is the Gregorian Calendar. Today we use the calendar invented by Pope Gregory (Doc. 4). These are just two contributions that influence our culture today.

In ancient times, the Greek and Roman Empires were the leading figures in their world. In these civilizations, the world saw continuous new inventions of items, thoughts, and ways of living. As ancient Greece and Rome grew, the characteristics of culture grew as well, with cities, arts and architecture, technology and science, social structure, government, religion and philosophy, and writing and literature becoming more diverse and modernized. Though they began nearly 3,000 years ago, the Greek and Roman Empires’ advancements still impact the modern world in all areas of culture, particularly in government, religion and technology.

The time of the Ancient Greeks is one of the most, if not the most, influential periods since the dawn of existence. The Ancient Greeks contributed to many of the modern world concepts that are used in everyday life. The importance of the Ancient Greeks is shown, in some way, scattered through each and every day. One contribution to the Western civilization from the Ancient Greeks is architecture.

The “Tale of the Eloquent Peasant” is an Ancient Egyptian story of a peasant named Khun- Anup who seeks to bring food from the village for his family. Ultimately a system of agriculture was created as well as livestock, transportation and the belief system established in Ancient Egypt due to the environment. This document reveals the relationship the Egyptians established with the natural world which led to the creation of their cultures and belief system.

During each period, there is always a leader who changes a basic component of society: a king or ruler. We find characteristics of leaders as well as what changes they made in the ancient and medieval period. It is important to study ancient history because we can learn the mistakes and impacts of the decisions they made. During the time periods, organization depended upon the leader that brought change to the state. The organization of government relied upon the role of certain individuals or groups.

Have you ever wondered how Ancient Egypt helped shape the world today? Ancient Egyptians were a group of folks who were heavily influenced by religion. They feared dying anywhere but Egypt. The Egyptian Empire held a fascinating and very distinctive culture. Being one of the world 's most advanced cultures and creating tons of wealth is what separated them from everybody else. Between the outstanding artwork, teaching methods, and amazing pyramids is what helped their society advance altogether. No other civilization of the ancient world history had such a popular appeal and none as important as human society and its organization. Egyptians have made great steps in shaping the world we all know today, which have made studying their culture and society easier than some previous historical eras.

The most significant event was the unknown invaders that obliterated the Hittite Kingdom in 1200 B.C.E. I found it quite surprising that this particular moment in time created such a cataclysmic domino effect throughout all civilizations that existed. The refugees from the collateral damage of war that caused them to relocate to other places created more conflict. Syria with Ugarit being the other civilizations that got decimated in this war. Other parts of the world lost vital trade connections with Egypt after its war with Libyans and other civilizations. I found it interesting that one event affected so many influential cultures enough to where they all descended into the Dark

Professor Wallace Everett Caldwell was a professor of history at the University of North Carolina during 1922-1961. During his time at the University of North Carolina, he wrote a number of books and articles on ancient history. One of the books he wrote is The Ancient World, originally published in 1937. A revised edition was published in 1949. Caldwell’s The Ancient World revision include a rewrite of the first chapter, “Preliterary History,” to correlate the information with studies of the current time, dates of the history of the Ancient New Era changed to accord recent findings, and a slightly longer last chapter to help build up to the conclusion.
