Anthropology Dr. Jean Marcus November 16, 2012 Cobb Museum Paper The Cobb Institute Museum at Mississippi State University displays items from the Old World and the New World. When I visited the museum I noticed a wide variety of artifacts. The Old world side contained pieces from many Old World countries, while the New World side featured a lot of pieces that are from local areas. Since there was such a vast number of artifacts at the Cobb Museum, I have decided to focus on the clay vessels and

feel to the structure. Others believe the columns are curved to give a sense of weight and power to the building, suggesting they are buckling under the heft of the roof. In any case, federal establishments such as banks, political buildings, and museums have consistently referenced or emulated the Parthenon in their design, trying to convey the same feelings of wealth, power, and authority that have made the building such a prominent structure in

itself. It was a struggle. But along with some of the public, people that did not want to see part of their history be discarded, volunteered to put a stop to the demolition. The site was saved and rebuild to its original structure and was used as a museum (Detroit 2015). So the public could visit and see how people 500 years lived. In a separate room, the bust will be displayed in the middle of the room. Pictures of Eva and her mother would be hang on the white walls surrounding the bust. The sculpture

I have made a discovery, a discovery that helps to piece together an ongoing puzzle of what ancient civilizations were like, with this piece helping us to uncover more information about the early 2000s. After studying this particular piece I have determined the uses this item has and why it was important to people. The artifact that I have been sent appears to be some kind of honorable decoration or award of someone from the early 2000s that was very symbolic to a person or group of this era. This

3 The Parthenon and the Pantheon The Parthenon in Athens and the Pantheon in Rome are two of the most influential buidlings of modern and ancient architecture, and are often confused. It’s easy to see why a person would get the two confused, there are some amazing similarities.
