On the other hand, the assembly line did indeed deskill many workers, and further reorganized how the people made a living. For example, rural farmers and families were drawn into these densely populated urban areas to work for low wages, and they even began to employ women and children. We see big changes as people urbanized; cities seemed to begin to just spring up overnight. New technologies such as the telegraph and telephone were also both invented in this era, which gave people an opportunity to communicate and share information quicker than ever before.

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.

The animal body of the Sphinx in fact represented the king’s triumphant strength.
During Hammurabi's time as king, he would oversee a great expansion of his kingdom from a city-state to an empire. The Ancient times, Babylonians have lived under the assumption that the gods could do and would do anything they wanted to the humans. That is why Hammarabi's codes were classified as the most important because he was the first person to ever to write down a set number of laws.At this time many citizens were illiterate, which made it difficult for them to understand Hammurabi's codes, which was carved upon a black stone monument, eight feet high, and clearly intended to be reared in public view. It was said that Hammurabi's attempt was to cover all possible legal situations, yet this statement was false. In its epilogue, Hammurabi describes the code as the "laws of Justice" which intended to clarify the rights of any "oppressed man."

Greg Alter, assistant special agent in charge of the air marshal program says that the 280 number grossly understates coverage by an order of magnitude and the number is 4 digits but wouldn’t elaborate. In a post on its web site the TSA (transportation safety Administration) said it would not disclose the number of air marshals flying each day so as not to tip of the terrorists. He did go on to say that the actual number of flights that air marshals cover is thousands per day. The air marshal program started in the 1970s after a rash of hijackings and was expanded significantly after the terrorist attacks on 9-11. (Griffin, drew, Kathleen Johnston and Todd
Before Akhenaten’s monotheistic modification to Egyptian society, the country was at its height during the 18th dynasty. Polytheism, the worship of thousands of gods, was the basis for religion, the Temple of Amun at Karnak was the largest in Egypt, the pharaoh himself was seen to be a god-king, the priests were correspondingly very rich and Egyptian art and architecture was very standardised. Akhenaten came to be regarded as the ‘heretic pharaoh,’ since he broke with a long established religious tradition and created one of his own. The pharaoh declared all of the other gods as ‘false’ and placed an extreme emphasis on the sun-disk Aten due to the belief that the god was the universal creator of all life.
