Duchamp, following the dada objectives, created art as a protest against the barbarism of World War 1.

As the world often sets guidelines to what is acceptable and not, back in 1943 an artist named William Dobell with a portrait of artist Joshua Smith won the Archibald Prize, but was explicitly battled in court as the portrait was viewed as distorted and caricatured formed. In spite of Dobell’s response to the challenge generating debate he declares “a sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is... a living thing”. This influenced him to create a work in the sculptural setting – and so built it up as a sculptor builds up any form.

It is located in Giza where it guards the front of Khafra's pyramid. The greatest monumental sculpture in the ancient world, the Sphinx is carved out of a single ridge of stone 240 feet (73 meters) long and 66 feet (20 meters) high. The sphinx is built of soft sandstone and would have disappeared long ago had it not been buried for so long.

Time management is very important in all aspects of life.

The period between 250 CE and 650 CE was a time of intense flourishing of Maya civilized accomplishments. While the many Mayans city-states never achieved political unity on the order of the central Mexican civilizations, they exerted a tremendous intellectual influence upon Mexico and Central America. The Mayans built some of the most elaborate cities on the continent, and made innovations in mathematics, astronomy, and calendrics. The Mayans also evolved the only true writing system native to the Americas using pictographs and syllabic elements in the form of texts and codices inscribed on stone, pottery, wood, or highly perishable books made from bark paper.
