Egypt vs. Mesopotamia The Egyptian and Mesopotamian societies are two of the oldest civilizations in the history of the world. The rise of the Egyptian Civilization, beginning around 5,000 B.C.E. and Mesopotamia, beginning around 3,500 B.C.E., began at around the same time period. Although they had similar ideas, the way they constructed their civilization differed. When talking about geography, religion, and political views, there were more differences than similarities within these two civilizations.
Fash was a very interesting book that catalogued the history of the Maya from the Preclassic Period (2000 B.C.E to 250 AD) to the Postclassic Period (900 AD- 1200 AD) including the collapse of the Classic Period centers in the southern lowlands, to the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores in 1519 AD. The first section of the book talks about Copan as being the classic Maya center describing Copan as “the Athens of the New World” and also explains the importance of archeological studies at the site. Copan has more hieroglyphic inscriptions and other sculpted monuments than any other Maya ruin, or any other site in the New World. The principal group of ruins, or site core, consists of a series of large buildings constructed around open courtyards which frequently contained stelae and alters. The principal groups contained two basic parts; the north included many low-lying plazas and to the south, the upraised courtyards and constituent structures were built upon the Acropolis .

What is the significance of the Paleolithic era in world history? • During the Paleolithic era, humans created a way of life that sustained humankind over 95 percent of the time that our species has inhabited the earth, and that was not challenged by alternatives until 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. • Paleolithic humans spread across the globe successfully, settling almost every habitable region on the planet. • Paleolithic humans began reflection on the great questions of life and death. • The changes that Paleolithic humans wrought provided the foundation on which all subsequent human history was constructed.
Egyptian Mummification This paper explains that scientists believe that, around 2600 B.C., the Egyptians started the preservation of their dead by embalming; this process is called mummification. The full mummification process took approximately 70 days to finish and was performed by highly educated priests. As long as the body was mummified and the proper elements were placed in the tomb, Egyptians believed the dead could live forever in the afterlife. Many things are used to mummify a person, they include: linen, sawdust, beeswax, resin, lichen, natron, onion, Nile mud, Lined Pods, and Frankinsense. There are seven steps to the mummification process.
This is the first evidence that around 50,000 years ago, 10,000 years before humans came on the scene, “the behavior of Neanderthals was symbolically organized,” (Zilhao). Jewelry has also been found buried with the dead, evidence of the use of ceremonial objects
The dating of the human remains is vital in not only establishing the age of the first Australians, but gaining a sense of their culture and society. ‘The skeletons are by far the earliest evidence found anywhere in the world of human remains being interred with burial rites’ (Grose, 2003). From a cultural perspective this implies a complex society that respected its dead and had some sense of spirituality and notion of an afterlife (Grose, 2003). The evidence gained at Lake Mungo has put a time frame on the climate change that occurred around 50,000 years ago allowing the commencement of occupation. The human occupation peaked during drying of the climate over the next 10,000 years.
Two of the more common ways she discusses is burial and cremation, which happen to be the two ways Mayans would commonly use. The practice I chose to evaluate on is the normal burial, but cremation was also common among the great nobles, and funerary temples were placed above their urns. It really just amazes me that way back in the times of the ancient Mayan civilizations, the Mayans used the two most common ways in America to eternally lay to rest the bodies of those who
The Pharaoh is now more of a military leader, and the military becomes infinitely more important. A permanent military presence in Syria and Palestine was established. The Pharaoh used both diplomacy and military means to achieve goals, and the Egyptian troops became a professional fighting force. In 1504 B.C. Hatshepsut became the first woman pharaoh who ruled for 30 years.
