Since construction started at the beginning of Hatshepsut’s reign, these scenes were filled in as the accomplishments took place. On either side of the first level ramp are papyrus pools and a galleries, with a double row of columns supporting the roofs. The porticoes on this terrace were restored in 1906 to protect the reliefs that show the giant obelisks being transported by barge to Karnak. Thus, these porticoes are a different color and are out of proportion compared with the rest of the building. Another gallery runs along the west side of the second level court, and holds
Beginning in 2100-2050 BCE with the Nanna Ziggurat the flat head pyramid was seen in usage in Iraq. Keeping similar architecture style with the Khafre’s Pyramids built in 2520-2494 BCE located in Egypt present the structure of a three dimensional triangle. Both structures found in the Middle East can be compared similarly in the sense of shape, base, and structure while being built in different time periods with different resources and with distinct specific purposes. The Nanna Ziggurat is one of the most remarkable surviving archaeological remains. Ziggurats built above flat plains publically made known the wealth, and stability of city ruler’s and glorified its gods (Cothern and Stokstad 2011, 28).
Its pools and geysers include Silver Globe Spring, Black Opal Pool, and Jewel, Cauliflower, Sapphire, Shell and Black Pearl Geysers. As it next flows through Midway Geyser Basin the Firehole River flows past two of the largest hot springs in the world, Excelsior Springs, once a geyser, and Prismatic Springs, well named for it colors. Where the former empties into the river the banks are colorful shades of chartreuse, orange and brown, tinted by brightly colored thermophiles, microorganisms adapted to living in hot water. The latter sits on a mound and the blue of its waters contrast with shades of thermophilic orange around its edges. On the opposite side of the river lie several
Eventually this anti-physical attitude will correlate with the development of Early Christian Art. Roman illusionist painting, also known as trompe l’oeil (or “fool the eye”) was attributed to an earlier tradition that developed in Greece. Like painting, mosaics originated in Greece but were common in Rome during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. A large quantity of Roman craft art also survived, including coins, glass vases, and cameos.

The cenotes facilitated tapping the underground waters of the area. The dates for this settlement vary according to subsequent local accounts: one manuscript gives 415-35 A.D., while others mention 455 A.D. The town that grew up around the sector known as Chichen Viejo already boasted important monuments of great interest: the Nunnery, the Church, Akab Dzib, Chichan Chob, the Temple of the Panels and the Temple of the Deer. They were constructed between the 6th and the 10th centuries in the characteristic Maya style then popular both in the northern and southern areas of the Puuc hills.The second settlement of Chichen-Itza, and the most important for historians, corresponded to the migration of Toltec warriors from the Mexican plateau towards the south during the 10th century. According to the most common version, the King of Tula, Ce Acatl Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl, or Kukulkan as the Maya translated the name, reportedly took the city between 967 A.D. and 987 A.D.Following the conquest of Yucatán a new style blending the Maya and Toltec traditions developed, symbolizing the phenomenon of acculturation.
“It was a fine moment, standing there sweaty in my T-shirt and bunkers, with this beautiful woman hugging me, and me remembering her spearmint kisses that first night on the basketball bus.” This quote is after Perry helps Tracy, a young girl who was driving too fast around Jabowski’s Corner and was in fatal shape. Perry and the rest of the EMTs did as much as they possibly could until a helicopter came to take Tracy to a larger hospital thirty minutes away. The locals could only do so much, and then it was time to let the “professionals” do the rest. After the accident Perry walked past a long row of cars that were backed up due to the accident. As Perry walks thinking to himself about what just happened a lady jumps out of her car and yells Michael’s name.
It could be suggested that Odysseus is represented by the fish in the seabird’s search for it. Homer mentions that Hermes has a wand with which he can send someone to sleep or wake them up. This once again emphasises the supernatural qualities that Hermes
Mesopotamia is a fertile flat plain that was created by rich deposits of mud and clay that the two rivers carried from highlands and mountains that today make up the eastern side of Turkey, which lay to the north of what was Mesopotamia and is currently Iraq. The access to flowing water and fertile soil created by the rivers was what lead to the settlement of nomadic people from the Arabian Desert, which is currently located in Iran and Turkey (Hollar, 2011, p. 10). According to archaeologists who have been excavating sites in Mesopotamia since the 1840’s, primitive settlements formed between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers as far back as 10,000 B.C. Further evidence shows that early settlers fought over this fertile land, which encouraged larger and more organized groups of settlers to form the first nations in the history of this region. Eventually a well-organized nomadic tribe that existed east of Mesopotamia took control of the fertile lands and founded the nation of Sumer around 3,300 B.C.
In the corners are marble fountains that are re-creations from the Villa dei Papri. And a narrow pool is in the center and is lined with replicas of bronze statues that resemble women that would have once been found at the Villa dei Papiri. As I walk around the colonnade I notice the coffered ceiling. This ceiling imitates stone ceilings found on the Street of the Tombs in Pompeii. The colonnades floor is paved with terrazzo.
Matthew Willis DEVE 0880-105A People come from all over the country to see all the magnificent floats driving by and throwing beads and stuffed animals to people shouting the loudest. Then when it’s over people have barbeques outside Where the floats just passed by, people cook chicken, hotdogs, ribs, and much more. Finally when everyone is done they go home with bags full of beads and stuffed animals and see how much they have and maybe throw some next year. Mardi Gras has been a tradition in Louisiana for many years. There are a lot of floats that pass by on Mardi Gras.
