This is evident when Bulwer Lytton, author of ‘The last days of Pompeii’ had removed a skull he had discovered from Pompeii as a souvenir. Discussion between the display of bodies in Pompeii and Herculaneum has also increased due to the salting of certain sites within both Pompeii and Herculaneum. In 1768 a tableaux had been created from the remains of Pompeii aiming to fool an Austrian Emperor into believing in an apparent discovery made by archaeologists at the time. This is also seen in more recent displays such as in the House of Menander where Amedeo Maiuri between the years of 1920-1930 had constructed imaginative scenarios by salting the scene with evidence. However Estelle Lazer then rectifies this when she studies remains found within the area and discovers that the bones placed within the scene do not belong together.
Even though China was in a rapidly changing time, it still tried to stay to its roots. One important part of Chinese life was agriculture; almost 70% of the people were farmers in 1500 because of the large population. While Europe, India, and Japan industrialized sometime from 1450 to 1914, China never did. Even after China’s self-imposed isolation ended, several periods of widespread famine, and the disaster known as the Opium Wars in the 19th century, which allowed the Europeans and their ships to travel anywhere in China, and made the Chinese pay tribute. After all of this, China still did not industrialize until the 1960’s.
However, through historical and scientific research, many of the ideas conveyed by the tomb were proven to be false. This has led to many misconceptions about the life and death of Tutankhamun. The tomb provides a story on Tut, a story that may not be entirely true. History has uncovered the truth, and determined that the tale being told by King Tut’s tomb is merely how he wanted to be perceived. It is the legacy that lives on after his death.

Article Summary “The Origin of Old-Earth Geology and its Ramifications for Life in the 21st Century,” is an article that informs the readers of the impact of the Old-World theory. The debate that Dr. Terry Mortenson discusses in the article has been around for a significant amount of time, and yet many do not have any idea that it exist. The consequences of this debate can be seen all over the world because of the rejection of God that accompanies these theories and the author gives a general idea of how it affects us. Dr. Terry Mortenson mentions the three French scientists, and how they were involved in the development of theories without the involvement of God. The mentioning of four scriptural geologists and their backgrounds help defend the author’s argument.
The Xi, or more popularly known as the Olmec were one of the first civilizations in Mesoamerica. The Olmec city that had the biggest population was called La Venta. It was located on a small dome on the Gulf Coast, three miles from current day San Andres. From around 1200 BC to 600 BC they had the largest population of any other society. According to this article there is evidence that suggests, contrary to previous beliefs, that the Olmec may have been the influence for the following early American civilizations.
There has also been some speculation that a few of these paintings were not painted by Homo sapiens, but by their early cousins, the Neanderthals. The implication leads to two very different ideas. First, if Homo sapiens painted these images, they would have had to do so immediately on their arrival in Europe. Second, if Neanderthals were responsible, scientific understanding will be expanded on their capabilities and sophistication. (Red Dot) More research will be conducted to prove authorship of these paintings around Portugal, Spain as well as Western
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 .
Jesus Dominguez Ann Merville Anthropology 20 9 November 2013 Teotihuacan Teotihuacan, located in the highlands of central Mexico, is one of the world's most impressive archaeological sites. Between 100,000 and 200,000 people lived there at its peak around 600 A.D., making it one of the ancient world's largest cities with an urban core covering some twenty square kilometers. Settlement began about 200 B.C. and the basic layout of the city was complete by the mid-second century A.D. Most of the major construction was accomplished within the next hundred years.
Veneration of Columbus in America dates back to colonial times. The name Columbia for "America" first appeared in a 1738 weekly publication of the debates of the British Parliament. [76] The use of Columbus as a founding figure of New World nations and the use of the word 'Columbia', or simply the name 'Columbus', spread rapidly after the American Revolution. In 1812, the name 'Columbus' was given to the newly founded capital of Ohio. During the last two decades of the 18th century the name "Columbia" was given to the federal capital District of Columbia, South Carolina's new capital city Columbia, the Columbia River, and numerous other places.
