The Coffin of Pedi-Osiris, Pedi-Osiris was also known as the Lord of the Underworld, was made between the years of 305 BC-30 AD by various Egyptian artists using an Egyptian mummification process. The coffin, standing at more than 7 feet tall and large enough to contain the Priest, who enclosed in numerous layers of linen cloth, was made to resemble religious semiology and linear decorations using wood, polychrome, gold inlay and paint. Egyptian religion believed in resurrection after death and coffins were made to represent the life after death in order to ensure a successful rebirth. The artists used elaborate and detailed scenes using linear designs and hieroglyphs engravings on the sarcophagus to instruct and assist the Priest on his journey the through the underworld into the afterlife. The ancient Egyptian sarcophagi included illustrations depicting animals, religious proceedings and funerals that are painted on both sides of the coffin.
With out the knowledge of how Polio was spread, isolation became standard. Doctors were in a race to discover a vaccine, and many of the first attempts were more than failures. At the crest of the epidemic in Minneapolis, the fear that gripped the residents was palpable. The streets, restaurants and stores mirrored that of a ghost town. People actually just packed up their life and moved away.
There were many consequences to the printing press; including the spread of the protestant reformation and the growth of more accurate maps. However, the most important of them would be the creation of affordable books. When the printing press spread through Europe, Martin Luther heard about it, and when he did he got ahold of one of them and printed the 95 theses which was a document used to place on the church and argued and exposed the flaw of the catholic church(doc 3). After this happened, many people stopped going to catholic churches(doc 5). Every country in Europe was mainly catholic, but in the 1560’s, half of the countries were either mainly protestant or mixed catholic and protestant(doc 5) which was a rapid change.
Answer: The move toward industrialization led to demands for political change in the early 1800's because industrialization caused many people to move to the cities, so the cities became overcrowded and dirty. People got sick and children ran loose in the city, and some children were put to work in factories and often worked 7 days a week and 12 to 14 hours a day.

The massive number of European immigrants that entered into America’s east coast from the late 1800’s and on forever influenced the growth and development of the country. Fleeing crop failure, famine, rising taxes, and land/job shortages, many immigrants journeyed to the United States because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. With hope for a brighter future, nearly 27 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1880 and 1920. The majority of the immigrants entered through Ellis Island, leading it to become the gateway to America and become recognized as a national symbol. Many of the immigrants, not knowing the way America worked, didn’t stray too far from the East Coast and moved into areas filled with people of similar languages, traditions, and beliefs.
Dust was blown everywhere. It was now known as the Dust Bowl. The Great Depression Factory owners made more food then people could buy. So owners closed their factories and people lost their jobs. Many people had to move and live in cities to find jobs.
Importing and exporting goods and supplies was banned quickly once people realized the pestilence was spread by these trade men. Since there was nowhere to get supplies from, cities had to provide for themselves. With the scarce amount of goods on hand, and the high demand for them, prices skyrocketed. Most of the workers were dead; those who weren’t, charged up to five times what they had before the plague. As the workers’ wages outpaced the prices of goods, the workers began to become rich and skilled in what they did.
However such high migration rates brought consequences with it. The Irish workers were subject to large amounts of prejudice mainly due to the famine which ruled in Ireland. Many British shop-owners have displayed signs outside their shops which quoted “no Irish allowed”. This discrimination was also based on their religion, and anti-Catholic feeling became rife. This affected not only the new immigrant workers, but also Catholics who had lived peacefully in the city for many years.
The Walt Disney Company open EuroDisney in April 1992, and expected their most lavish park to be a success, since it was larger and Disneyland, Disneyworld and Tokyo Disneyland. Much to the company’s surprise, European’s were not flocking to the park in the massive numbers that visited Tokyo Disneyland. At Tokyo Disneyland, families would stay overnight and often spend around $600 per visit, and many visitors were repeat customers. In contrast, European families were reluctant to stay overnight, and they did not want to spend the $280 a day to visit the park. Paris was chosen for the location of EuroDisney over 200 other sites because the French government had offered incentives to the company, along with the demographic data available showing Paris to be Europe’s most visited city by tourists.
