The Chair Of Reniseneb

If ancient civilizations did not invent new ideas and machines, the world would not be in the spot it is today. Innovation is necessary for the continuation and improvement of a society. Ancient cities in the River Valley were very intelligent and knew how to use the resources they could find. Civilizations in the Middle East and Asia, circa 3,000 BCE, showed great success in the areas of government, science and technology, and writing. The cities made advancements in government and the security of their lands.

The seated scribe is a sculpture made in 2500 B.C.E in Saqqara, Egypt fourth dynasty. This piece of artwork can explain a lot about the society it came from which makes it significant. In the following paragraphs I will address; what makes it unique? Who it was found by? The impact this had on our understanding of the piece, and modern interpretations of Egyptian art. First here’s a description:

In Ancient Egypt, art had evolved within the three kingdoms. Between the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom structures and models have grazed the land of Egypt. What stood out most about their art was it was mostly architecture. Back in Ancient times i am positive that the structures were not used for art purposes, it was strictly for their own beliefs. I liked that a lot about Ancient Egypt took care of their own people, well, people they thought had a divine spirit. I only have one question, in making these structures, were there designers that made blueprints or was there just someone telling slaves where to place the material? How many slaves did it take to build these structures not only the pyramids, but the mastabas and

In 1910, The Rev. Joseph Quenouillere succeeded Father Richard, as pastor and served until 1920. Prior to his service at Sacred Heart, he served briefly (1908) at Maurice, Louisiana at St. Alphonse Church. By 1911, the first High Mass was sung in the new church constructed across from the Terrebonne Sugar Company. The church had been built at a cost of $5500.

Frederick Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin von Steuben was formerly known was Baron Von Steuben was born on September 17,1730 in Germany. He went to school at Jesuit school, he was a Prussian officer. At 14 he started military training and not to much longer at 16 he join the Prussian army. He served the 7 years of war also suffered 2 injuries and then later on got promoted to lieutenant. Later he was taken to prison and when he got back from prison he was promoted to quartermaster general and adjutant general. In 1763 Steuben got released from the Prussian army for being homosexual or "an inconsiderate step and an implacable person enemy." He later found interest at the court of Honhenzollern-Hechingen at being grand marshall and held that position for 10 years. He tried to join several different armies in foreign countries but couldn't have any. But later on he heard that Benjamin Franklin was in France and he might be able to join the American Continental Army. Finally in Paris on 1777 Baron von Steuben met Franklin. He talked to Franklin but Franklin hated

Did you know that the town of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has a connection with Bohemia of Europe? In 1415, John Hus of Bohemia was burned at the stake for disagreeing with several practices of the Roman Catholic Church. People who believed as he did were persecuted until they were pushed from Bohemia into Saxony, the area that is now Germany. Here they were called “Moravian”.

If I had to say one thing ancient Egyptians were famous for it was that they built tremendous pyramids and had a great amount of skill. Some pyramids still exist and it is amazing how they built them and are still standing today. In the civilization of Ancient Egypt, there were six periods which were the Pre-dynastic period, Old Kingdom, the 1st Intermediate period, the Middle Kingdom, the 2nd Intermediate period, and New Kingdom (TimeMaps). The Pre-dynastic period began in 3500-3000 BC and led to the unified group of Egypt as a community. The Old Kingdom began in 2650 which was around the time that the Great Pyramids of Giza were being built. A man named Narmer was the founder of the 1st dynasty of Ancient Egypt and was looked at as a god. Narmer was mainly known for his hieroglyphic writing and his monuments. Even in todays world, hieroglyphics are used to decode language and is basically the language for the ancient Egyptian

Advances in architecture and record keeping occurred during the Egypt civilization. In the old kingdom of Egypt, huge structures of stone called pyramids. Those who worked on the structures had to be skilled in mathematics, geometry, and architecture. The building of the pyramids required a ton of mental thinking and planning, and was a huge success for architecture advancement. Today we know much about ancient pharaohs of Egypt because of written records that were left. These records were kept in hieroglyphics. Hieroglyphics were a new form of writing invented by the Egyptians that were based on pictures. Since they were invented, we know a good deal as to what happened during the Egyptian time

One of the few technological advancements of the period was the papyrus,of which the English word paper, comes from. The ramp and lever were also developed by the Ancient Egyptians. A British anthropologist discovered objects in an ancient childs grave appearing to be used for bowling, so it is possible that they developed the sport of bowling. They were advanced in working with glass and metals such as, bronze and gold. Aswell as their precision and beauty when it comes to architecture. They valued personal appearance and hygiene very highly. The Ancient Egyptians regularly bathed and scented themselves in perfume and other incense. They created cosmetics for both men and women.

One main creation is the clock, Ancient Egyptians were one the first groups of people to divide days into equal parts through using timekeeping devices to tell what time it was. I consider this as a very important artifact since almost every single home in America has a clock that everyone uses to be on time to go somewhere, time something such as when you are baking, or just to check what time it is and make sure everything is on track. Adding on to the creations, the first proof that people were creating and using glass in arts and crafts was way back in 3500 BC in Egypt and some of Mesopotamia. However, the Egyptians managed to also make red glass including a few other colors. I think that the Egyptians used their brains a lot and thought out of the box since this was a very hard task unlike the Mesopotamians. It is was hard because the the glass had to be fired in an oxygen free environment. Other people might think that Mesopotamia also created glass just like Egypt, but Egypt actually thought out of the box and made different colors of glass which was very tough

Egypt is also known for its statues depicting various gods and tombs for its numerous pharaohs. Their architectural prowess is a feat marveled at even today. The ability to design and build such grand monuments such as the iconic pyramids of Giza, rivalling even the Mayan and Aztec temples of South and Central America, reveals the true nature of innovation in Egypt. In fact, even without modern tools of measurement, the Great Pyramid, the largest tomb in Egypt, is almost geometrically perfect. For such a large structure, the length of all four sides at its base differ by less than a foot (McKenty 1).

The chair utilizes the space and structure well and also is developed from a traditional idea into an innovative modern design for a chair. This chair was famous for its new use of materials, in the original design, the frame was made out of chrome steel and the upholstery was covered with white kidskin and filled with cotton burlap and horsehair (Meadmore, 1997). This chair is still in production for over eight decades.

The egyptians have many achievements from a calendar to algebra. The most fascinating is their writing system. The writing

Another technology that we can attribute to the ancient Egyptians, and one that we take for granted in our current times, is paper and writing. The word “Paper” comes from the ancient Egyptian writing material called “papyrus”, which was

In the deserts of Egypt lie the colossal remains of an ancient civilization. These enormous works of human endeavor are the only member of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World that time has passed down to us. These are, of course, the great pyramids of ancient Egypt. But these imposing structures were not built to impress civilization millennia down the road. The pyramids in fact had a purpose to the ancient Egyptians. While they seem very simple in nature, as they are simply four-sided pyramids with square bases, they had a meaning for those that had them built. Even by today’s standards, the pyramids of ancient Egypt were an impressive feat of engineering, due to their enormous size, both in building materials and finished product.
