The Canadian Postal Museum was established in 1971 and opened in 1974 as the National Postal Museum. It joined the Canadian Museum of Civilization in 1988, adopted its current name in 1996, and moved into a permanent space in the Museum of Civilization in 1997.. The museum was closed in 2012 as the Canadian Museum of Civilization began to prepare to transition into the Canadian History Museum. The Postal Museum collections, now in storage, are managed by the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation, a federal Crown Corporation that is also responsible for the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Canadian War Museum, the Canadian Childrens Museum, and the Virtual Museum of New France.[2] The postal collection is being broken up. According to the Canadian Museum of Civilization, Many [artifacts] will be included in the new Canadian history gallery, to be completed in 2017. The national stamp collection, Reflections of Canada - The National Stamp Collection, will be moved to a new gallery, to ...

By Amanda Chalifoux, University of Cincinnati. A recent find by a University of Cincinnati archeologist suggests an ancient Cypriot city was well protected from outside threats. That research, by UCs Gisela Walberg, professor of classics, will be presented at the annual workshop of the Cyprus American Archaeological Research Center in Nicosia, Cyprus, on June 25, 2011.. Since 2001, Walberg has worked in modern Cyprus to uncover the ancient city of Bamboula, a Bronze Age city that was an important trading center for the Middle East, Egypt and Greece. Bamboula, a harbor town that flourished between the 13th through the 11th century B.C., sits along a highway on the outskirts of the modern village of Episkopi, along the southwestern coast of Cyprus and near the modern harbor town of Limassol. The area thrived in part because the overshadowing Troodos Mountains contained copper, and the river below was used to transport the mined materials.. Her most recent research at the site revealed the ...

Tombs have been used extensively as one of the most informative sources for reconstructing social structures and beliefs in the archaeology of the Late Bronze Age in the southern Aegean. Rock-cut chamber tombs, in particular, have been found by the thousands over the last 150 years; they are the most prevalent Mycenaean tomb type. Yet, most have been excavated as part of salvage operations with limited documentation and no final publication. Furthermore, for a long time, attention was drawn to the objects that were coming out of the ground, with limited interest in the deceased population for whom the tombs were built and the objects deposited in the first place. Interdisciplinary studies have been few and far between, and what has been lacking is an integrated social archaeology of death in which people, organic residues, and artefacts formed the focus of attention in order to learn more about the bio- and social archaeology of the population under investigation. With the number of secured ...

The tiny Persian Gulf island nation of Bahrain is home to one of the most mysterious ancient civilizations of the Middle East.. Archaeologists have long known about a civilization called Dilmun. Its mentioned in many Mesopotamian texts as a wealthy place of sweet water. Even the Epic of Gilgamesh mentions it, but all the sources were vague about its location.. It wasnt until the middle of the 20th century that excavations in Bahrain uncovered impressive cities and temples and proved that Dilmun was located there. Archaeologists found that Dilmun had been an important center for the Persian Gulf trade route that flourished between the Mesopotamian civilizations in what is now Iraq and the Indus Valley in southern Asia around 2000 B.C. Dilmuns trade connections also extended to civilizations in Oman, Turkey, and Syria.. Dilmun owed its importance for being one of the few spots to get fresh water along the route. Ships would stop there to rest and fill up on supplies, and Dilmun became an ...

The architecture, sculpture, roads, and empire management of Tiwanaku would exert a significant influence on the later Inca civilization. Tiwanaku achieved unprecedented public works and urban scale supported by a complex landscape of frost-resistant raised fields, arts and craft industries that impressed later Incas and Spaniards alike, and an elaborate iconographic system that helped spread a shared state ideology. Considering the massive scale and sophistication of the Tiwanaku capital and the agrarian and settlement systems of its altiplano core region, it is reasonable to envision Tiwanaku as a centralized state and political economy comparable to archaic states worldwide ...

Recent paleogenomic studies have shown that migrations of Western steppe herders (WSH) beginning in the Eneolithic (ca. 3300-2700 BCE) profoundly transformed the genes and cultures of Europe and central Asia. Compared with Europe, however, the eastern extent of this WSH expansion is not well defined. Here we present genomic and proteomic data from 22 directly dated Late Bronze Age burials putatively associated with early pastoralism in northern Mongolia (ca. 1380-975 BCE). Genome-wide analysis reveals that they are largely descended from a population represented by Early Bronze Age hunter-gatherers in the Baikal region, with only a limited contribution (∼7%) of WSH ancestry. At the same time, however, mass spectrometry analysis of dental calculus provides direct protein evidence of bovine, sheep, and goat milk consumption in seven of nine individuals. No individuals showed molecular evidence of lactase persistence, and only one individual exhibited evidence of ,10% WSH ancestry, despite the ...

TESTING HUNTINGTON Huntington argues that ideas of individualism, liberalism, constitutionalism, human rights, equality, liberty, the rule of law, democracy, free markets, [and] the separation of church and state often have little resonance outside the West. Moreover, he holds that Western efforts to promote these ideas provoke a violent backlash against human rights imperialism. To test these propositions, we categorized the countries included in the WVS according to the nine major contemporary civilizations, based largely on the historical religious legacy of each society. The survey includes 22 countries representing Western Christianity (a West European culture that also encompasses North America, Australia, and New Zealand), 10 Central European nations (sharing a Western Christian heritage, but which also lived under Communist rule), 11 societies with a Muslim majority (Albania, Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Jordan, Morocco, Pakistan, and Turkey), 12 ...

Historians from the Muslim world based in Baghdad, amongst the Khazar, and other lands had given the Vikings a reputation of primarily being merchant warriors whose primary focus was on trades [16], [17]. Historians in Al-Andalus however were of different opinion due to frequent attacks perpetrated by the Vikings.. One account in Omar Mubaidins article entitled Tentative Global Timeline of Contacts between the World of Islam and Western Europe: 7th -20th Cent[18] outlines:. A Viking fleet sacks Lisbon, Seville, Cadiz and Algeciras in the Emirate of Cordova and Asilah in Morocco. In retaliation, the forces of the Emir trap the Viking fleet on the River of Guadalquivir destroying 30 ships and killing 1,000 Vikings. Most of the 400 captured Vikings are executed. Vikings would make numerous raids against both Muslim and Christian states in the Iberian Peninsula. Eventually, a community of settled Vikings, who converted to Islam in southeast Seville, would be famous for supplying cheese to ...

I have a vague recollection of what I think must have been the first episode in an animated series that I saw as a kid sometime in the 90s (possibly between 1994 and 1999, although the series might have been created much earlier):. A man who is a citizen of a civilization of humans living in space comes down to earth (on some mission Im guessing). He was born in space and knows about stuff that occurs on earth (like rain etc.) only through tales the elders have told him. I remember this one particular dialogue where he says when it suddenly starts raining: Rain... Its just like they told me... like water falling from the sky. He then goes to a pre-determined location to unpack his transport - a motorbike that assembles itself and sort of transforms form a cube to a complete motorbike. In the same episode another human (but earth-born and not space-born... I think he was a blond guy) finds one of these special motorbikes.. Eventually, I think the two meet up and form a team or ...

This study will comparatively research the influence that Christianity and mission activities have had on local societies in areas that have been leading objects of study for anthropologists, and what problems anthropologists have engendered as a result, comparatively examining specific examples from various regions. Since Christianization, Westernization and civilization have often been considered as more or less synonymous, they have had a decisive impact in many respects. Our final objectives will be to shed light on these present conditions and historical processes, as well as the anthropological significance of Christianity and the missions.. ...

What were the most interesting finds highlighted in your book, Not So Different: Finding Human Nature in Animals?. There were a lot of surprises as I researched the book. I was surprised at how broadly and deeply animals grieve. I was surprised at how enduring animal pair-bonds can be. I was also surprised at how easily some human behaviors can be analyzed in basic evolutionary terms. We really arent as complex as we think we are. We have a swirl of complex culture, but our behaviors are driven by very basic desires and instincts.. In light of your article highlighting the chronological differences in testosterone as humans have evolved over time, do you think Machiavellian behavior has, in general, decreased over time? Are we seeing a transition from an individualistic culture to a more egalitarian civilization (cultures may vary…)? Well, I think although we are mixing two things here on two different time-scales, the outcome is still the same. The short of it is that, yes, I think that ...

A piece of nettle cloth retrieved from Denmarks richest known Bronze Age burial mound Lusehøj may actually derive from Austria, new findings suggest. The cloth thus tells a surprising story about long-distance Bronze Age trade connections around 800 BC. The findings have just been published in Natures online journal Scientific Reports.. 2,800 years ago, one of Denmarks richest and most powerful men died. His body was burned. And the bereaved wrapped his bones in a cloth made from stinging nettle and put them in a stately bronze container, which also functioned as urn.. Now new findings suggest that the mans voyage to his final resting place may have been longer than such voyages usually were during the Bronze Age: the nettle cloth, which was wrapped around the deceaseds bones, was not made in Denmark, and the evidence points to present-day Austria as the place of origin.. I expected the nettles to have grown in Danish soil on the island of Funen, but when I analysed the plant fibres ...

CONWY, WALES-According to a BBC News report, the Great Orme mine in northern Wales was Britains primary producer of copper during a mining boom that lasted from about 1600 to 1400 B.C. Geoarchaeologist Alan Williams of the University of Liverpool and University of Rennes archaeometallurgy specialist Cécile Le Carlier de Veslud analyzed copper ore from the mine, which scholars had previously thought was only a limited operation during the Bronze Age, and found that the metal was used to make bronze weapons and tools that have been discovered across Britain as well as in France, Germany, and Sweden. During the 200-year spike in activity at Great Orme, Williams estimates that miners produced several hundred tons of copper, an amount sufficient to make thousands of bronze objects each year. This very extensive distribution suggests a large-scale mining operation [in Bronze Age terms], with a full-time mining community, he said. Read the original scholarly article about this research in ...

As elections in Egypt continue, Western politicians and Western media assure us of one thing: that Egyptians can finally vote is great progress.. But is the mere right and act of voting a valid sign of progress? No, at root, democracy is a mode of governance that simply empowers the people. True progress is gauged by what these people do with their empowermentthe civilization they create, the codes they institute.. Consider this picture: on the right is a painting of an Egyptian woman, as women appeared some three thousand years before the invasion of Islam, when Egypt was among the first of civilizations; on the left is a typical Egyptian woman of today, a product of Arab-Islamic civilization. Far from romanticizing the past, these juxtaposed portraits, separated by nearly 5,000 years, make a valid point. As many historians agree, ancient Egyptian women were liberated by antiquitys standards. Today, on the other hand, not only are Muslim women in Egypt kept under wraps, but, ...

One of the main features of Italian trade with the Near East was the importation of Arabic drugs. [People from Muslim Civilisation] established the first apothecary shops and dispensaries, founded the first medieval school of pharmacy, and wrote great treatises on pharmacology. [People from Muslim Civilisation] were enthusiastic advocates of the bath, especially in fevers and in the form of the steam bath. Their directions for the treatment of smallpox and measles could scarcely be bettered today. Anesthesia by inhalation was practiced in some surgical operations; hashish and other drugs were used to induce deep sleep. We know of thirty-four hospitals established in Islam in this period, apparently on the model of the Persian academy and hospital at Jund-i-Shapur; in Baghdad the earliest known to us was set up under Harun al-Rashid, and five others were opened there in the tenth century; in 918 we hear of a director of hospitals in Baghdad. The most famous hospital in [Muslim Civilisation] was ...

Posted on 10/31/2011 9:36:59 PM PDT by WilliamHouston. Pat Buchanans new book Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025 is the bluntest and most cogent statement of the truth about the present course of Western civilization that has been seen in American bookstores in many years. In this book, Pat takes the gloves off and hits the American Left with the Hard Right. He knocks the liberal establishment out of the ring. Everything that real conservatives have privately known to be true for generations is finally aired in this brave and long overdue new book. Christianity is the foundation of Western civilization. As people of European ancestry abandoned their traditional faith, Western culture began to die. As Western culture began to die, Western civilization began to die. Finally, the people of the West are literally dying out and the Third World is flooding into the West to take our place in our own homelands. The American Left has become a utopian death cult in the grips of a ...

For me, civilization is just one of the myths, albeit a big one, that has caused misery and ecocide. I was just re-reading AHAL and it seems even Perlman is coining the concept of Levithan as something that you could call civilization, but he wants to avoid the whole what about medicine and Mozart! shit you hear when you say youre against civilization.

The findings, published in the online edition of the scientific journal Nature, support an archeological record that closely links the domestication of dogs in the Middle East with the rise of human civilization there, scientists said.. Its significant because this is where civilization developed, and dogs were part of that, said Robert Wayne, professor of evolutionary biology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and a senior author of the study.. The region, often referred to as the Fertile Crescent, includes much of modern-day Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan - the same area where domestic cats and many of our livestock originated, and where agriculture first developed, he said.. The study is based on genetic comparisons between more than 900 dogs representing 85 breeds and over 200 wild gray wolves - the closest living wild relative of dogs - from around the globe, including North America, Europe, East Asia and the Middle East.. In the most extensive such analysis to date, ...

Fulfilled in Christ Abiding Principles from the Ceremonial Laws: The Ceremonial Laws in the New Covenant (1) Christ fulfilled and replaced the ceremonial laws

The transition from the late Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age in Central Europe is a time period for which human mobility has been vividly debated in archaeological research. This presentation contributes to these considerations using an interdisciplinary approach that integrates ancient mitochondrial DNA analysis, the determination of stable isotope ratios of strontium and oxygen in tooth enamel, and archaeological analysis of radiocarbon dated skeletal remains. They represent 83 human individuals from 6 sites of the Bell Beaker Complex and the early Bronze Age in the Lech Valley in Southern Bavaria, Germany. Mitochondrial DNA analysis documented a diversification of haplogroups over time. Strontium and oxygen isotope ratios disclosed more than half of the females to be non-local, while there were only single occurrences among the male and subadult individuals. This striking pattern of patrilocality and female exogamy prevailed between about 2500 and 1700 BC. It was independent of individual ...

The Phyrgians speak a distinctive dialect of Greek on the Hittite empire fringe (with some minor Hittite linguistic influence), and when the Hittite empire collapses there is a folk migration of Phyrgians to greater Armenia sometime after the collapse of the Hittite empire ca. 1200 BCE and before classical Greek and Roman civilization start to emerge ca. 800 BCE. Chaos in the Anatolian interregenum of Hittite empire successor states between Bronze Age collapse and the rise of Iron Age civilizations, aided and abetted by a multi-century arid period isolates these Armenians from the Hellenic linguistic cousins and puts them geographically close to the Indo-Iranians of Persian who derived from an entirely different branch of the Indo-European languages from the Greeks, as well as to weakened local Caucasian substrate populations. Isolation and areal influences from the nearby Indo-Iranians causes the Armenian language to change in the direction of old Persian which has similar substrate ...

While most of our samples possessed mtDNA haplotypes that can be linked to European and Near Eastern populations, three Neolithic and all three Bronze Age individuals belonged to mtDNA haplogroup C, which is common in East Eurasian, particularly South Siberian, populations but exceedingly rare in Europe. Phylogeographic network analysis revealed that our samples are located at or near the ancestral node for haplogroup C and that derived lineages branching from the Neolithic samples were present in Bronze Age Kurgans. In light of the numerous examples of mtDNA admixture that can be found in both Europe and Siberia, it appears that the NPR and South Siberia are located at opposite ends of a genetic continuum established at some point prior to the Neolithic. This migration corridor may have been established during the Last Glacial Maximum due to extensive glaciation in northern Eurasia and a consequent aridization of western Asia. This implies the demographic history for the European gene pool is ...

More recent scholars might suggest a category for postbiological remains, although the last three could be suitable. Armitage actually does argue for the possible existence of robot civilisations which would in a sense be the extension of the intelligence which created them, though the biological organisms had died out. Its not clear from this whether hes referring to sapient machines or automata.. Its very interesting to see the search for Dyson spheres included. Although the idea of searching for them had been around for 16 years, the context of a space archaeology paper is novel for 1976 I think.. Also of particular interest is this mention of a question astro-archaeology might ask: Do the studies throw any light on the life-expectancy of an intelligent civilisation? This is part of the Drake equation of course, and the attempt to quantify the elements of that equation is a matter of some importance to the SETI community.. Larry J. Paxtons paper in the Handbook of Space Engineering, ...

Abstract Mongolias Bronze Age deer stones are one of the most striking expressions of early monumental art in Central Asia, yet their age, origins, relationships, and meaning remain obscure. Speculation about Scythian connections has stimulated recent research in Mongolia that has begun to peel away their mysteries and reveals connections to Scytho-Siberian and northern art. Radiocarbon-dated horse skulls indicate pre-Scythian ages of classic Mongolian deer stones as well as firm association with the Late Bronze Age khirigsuur [kurgan] burial mound complex. ...

The first known sculpture in the Indian subcontinent is from the Indus Valley civilization (3300-1700 BC), found in sites at Mohenjo-daro and Harappa in modern-day Pakistan. These include the famous small bronze male dancer. However such figures in bronze and stone are rare and greatly outnumbered by pottery figurines and stone seals, often of animals or deities very finely depicted. After the collapse of the Indus Valley civilization there is little record of sculpture until the Buddhist era, apart from a hoard of copper figures of (somewhat controversially) c. 1500 BCE from Daimabad.[39] Thus the great tradition of Indian monumental sculpture in stone appears to begin relatively late, with the reign of Ashoka from 270 to 232 BCE, and the Pillars of Ashoka he erected around India, carrying his edicts and topped by famous sculptures of animals, mostly lions, of which six survive.[40] Large amounts of figurative sculpture, mostly in relief, survive from Early Buddhist pilgrimage stupas, above all ...

Of course, military conquest was not the only source of gold for Rome. As I said, we are describing a complex system, and complex systems have many facets. So, the Romans had gold mines in Africa and in Spain. And they also had silver mines in Spain. There are no mines in the scheme; we could add mines to it, that wouldnt be a problem. But the problem here is that we dont have enough data to understand exactly the role of mines in the economy of the Roman Empire. We know, for instance, that silver mining declined in Spain with the decline of the empire. Did mining decline cause the collapse of the empire? Personally, I think not. At least, the Romans had started their expansion much earlier than they had conquered Spain and these mines. At the time of the wars with Carthage, it was the Carthaginians who held Spain and, I imagine, the silver mines. But this silver didnt help them much, since they lost the war and were wiped out by the Romans. So, we should be wary of single explanations for ...

Because of the collaborative nature of UCFs faculty, the National Science Foundation has awarded the university a grant that will help fund the purchase of a $900,000 imaging device that will do everything from design nanoparticles of the future to delve into our civilizations past.. The NSF approved the funding request because in addition to advancing scientific research, its meant to foster interdisciplinary collaboration at the University of Central Florida and beyond. Rather than siloed in one departments lab, the state-of-the-art X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (XPS) with ultrafine imaging capability will be used by researchers from physicists to anthropologists.. We went across the campus, from engineering to archaeology, said Professor Sudipta Seal, who led the effort to acquire the technology. A really interesting facet of this collaboration is how this instrument - beyond medicine and manufacturing and nanotechnology - will help us understand the origin of civilization. Thats ...

From the Tigris to the Indus and the Yangtze to the Nile, rivers were essential to the emergence of human civilisation. Millennia later, hundreds of millions of people still depend on rivers to quench their thirst, grow food and make a living. And yet we are rapidly destroying the planets river systems, with serious implications for our economies, societies and even our survival.. China is a case in point. Its dam-building frenzy and overexploitation of rivers are wreaking environmental havoc on Asia, destroying forests, depleting biodiversity and straining water resources. Chinas first water census, released in 2013, showed that the number of rivers-not including small streams-had plummeted by more than half over the previous six decades, with over 27,000 lost.. The situation has only deteriorated since then. The Mekong River is running at a historically low level, owing largely to a series of Chinese-built mega-dams near the border of the Tibetan Plateau, just before the river crosses into ...

The cause of this increase perplexed oceanographers because it was too large to be due to terrestrial effects such as changes in the intensity of the geomagnetic field. Although smaller scale increases were regularly interpreted as indications of increases in solar flare activity, they found it difficult to imagine that the Suns flaring activity would rise so high and persist in this active state for so many millennia. Apparently they were not aware of the superwave theory. Nevertheless the data leave one to the inescapable conclusion that this radiocarbon increase was caused by an extreme elevation in the intensity of cosmic ray radiation striking the Earth. This could have been due to the impact of either superwave cosmic rays or solar flare cosmic rays associated with an extended period of high solar activity. At its height, this event was far more severe and prolonged than the super solar proton event that appears to have precipitated the megafaunal extinction at the end of the ice age and ...

In the 8th and 9th centuries, under the Abbasid caliphs, Islamic civilization entered a golden age. Arabic, Byzantine, Persian and Indian cultural traditions were integrated. And while in Europe, learning seemed to be at its lowest point, the Muslims created what I suppose could be called a high civilization. Thanks to Muslim scholars, ancient Greek learning, acquired from their contact with Byzantine scholars, was kept alive and was eventually transferred to the West in the 12th century and after (see Lecture 26). But not only did Muslim scholars preserve the heritage of Greek science and philosophy, they added to it by writing commentaries and glosses, thus adding to what eventually became the western intellectual tradition. Throughout the Quran one can find a strong emphasis on the value of knowledge in the Islamic faith. The Quran encourages Muslims to learn and acquire knowledge, stemming from, but not limited to, the Muslim emphasis on knowing the unity of God. Because Muslims believe ...

If you listen to the animal rights writers, you quickly realize that their goal is a homogenized globalized culture based on a Western ethical paradigm and a human separation from nature. Animal rights philosophy could be considered a disease of civilization. ~ Melissa McEwen (April 16, 2010)

The Pre-Pottery Neolithic period (ca. 11,700-8250 cal. B.P.) marks an era of monumental social and economic development in Southwest Asia. The beginnings of cultivation transformed subsistence practices in the region, reflecting both changes in human diet and the activities of collecting, preparing, and consuming plant foods. Archaeobotanical studies have provided critical evidence of the physiological processes of plant domestication, yet so far have rarely shed light on the specific tasks associated with early agriculture in the southern Levant. The site of el-Hemmeh, located in central Jordan, offers a unique perspective on the development of agriculture as it is one of the few archaeological sites occupied during both the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (ca. 11,700-10,500 cal. B.P.) and Late Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (ca. 9250-8700 cal. B.P .) periods. This dissertation presents macrobotanical evidence collected from el-Hemmeh using a novel flotation tank design to recover charred plant remains from a ...

NOVOSIBIRSK, RUSSIA-Excavations at a 4,000-year-old site in Siberia have revealed a thin bronze plate that could have been used as a shaving implement, reports the Siberian Times. Expedition leader Vyacheslav Molodin of the Siberian Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography says that while his team has provisionally identified the artifact as a razor, it was probably also used as a knife. The practice of shaving likely dates far back in prehistory, but appears to have become particularly popular in the Bronze Age, as evidenced by the fact that many graves of the period contain what are believed to be razor knives. To read about another Bronze Age discovery in Siberia, see Elite Warriors Bone Armor Unearthed. ...

Themes that will be addressed include art, culture, mythology, history, political and military development, comparison and contrast between the three civilizations, the relationship between them and the above-mentioned locations. Please note: On-site research in Tuscany, Rome, and Sicily throughout the duration of the academic session will provide direct access to locations and sights of interest related to course topics.. ...

Gajendra singh. Islam and its influence, for good or bad is not going to go away any time soon.. The arid deserts of Arabia might have been Jahiliya before the revelations of Islam but the people right up to Morocco on the Atlantic coast in North Africa and Iraq, Persia, Khorasan and Central Asia up to the border of China had long religious and cultural streams and very well developed and complex religious traditions and beliefs.. Therefore Islam became varied, complex and evolved as have other religions. The pristine austere Arab Islam of the first four Caliphs, to which the Jihadis and others hark back to, has been changed ,uplifted ,evolved ,enriched and made more beautiful and humanistic through interaction with cultural and religious base of various lands conquered by Islam, most of them had highly cultured civilizations. The Byzantine civilisation in Syria and Damascus ( which also introduced the desert Arabs to veils, used by the high society Byzantine ladies), Persian civilisation in ...

Author(s): Andrade Pereira, Débora; Ferreira Nunes, Hendrie; Ruiz Pessenda, Luiz C.; Oliveira, Giancarlo C. X. | Abstract: Sweet potato dispersal from Americas to French Polynesia predates known human colonization periods, therefore being a long-standing dilemma. According to recent phylogenetic studies, the most likely hypothesis to explain this migration is the sea-drift long-distance dispersal, but no research indicating the response of I. batatas seeds to seawater conditions have been performed so far. The aim of this study was to understand seawater resistance in I. batatas, an essential feature for the sea-drift natural dispersal hypothesis, thus shedding light on the historical biogeography of this species, which also has implications on human civilization history, as the archaeological presence of sweet potato in both continents has been used as an evidence of pre-Columbian contacts between ancient civilizations. The experiment consisted of submitting sweet potato seeds to seawater treatments

Trying to explain yeast and what it does is much more difficult than trying to explain the other components of beer. Because of this, I have broken up my discussion of yeast into several posts. This is the third and last post in which I describe what affects fermentation.. As previously discussed, both species of beer yeast consume sugars and leave alcohol and carbon dioxide as waste products. I also mentioned previously that the process of fermentation was seen as a gift from god by early civilizations due to their lack of knowledge in unicellular microorganisms. Even today, with this understanding, it is also understood that brewers make wort, yeast make beer. Understanding what affects the yeast to do its job is what allows us today to successfully ferment at an expected level.. It is important to remember that yeast is a living organism, just like humans. While we have human civilizations living all across the world, there are certain conditions that must be met to allow us to survive and ...

Materials used for creating jewelry were traded with Egypt since 3000 BCE. Long-range trade routes first appeared in the 3rd millennium BCE, when Sumerians in Mesopotamia traded with the Harappan civilization of the Indus Valley. The Phoenicians were noted sea traders, traveling across the Mediterranean Sea, and as far north as Britain for sources of tin to manufacture bronze. For this purpose they established trade colonies the Greeks called emporia.[citation needed][35]. From the beginning of Greek civilization until the fall of the Roman empire in the 5th century, a financially lucrative trade brought valuable spice to Europe from the far east, including India and China. Roman commerce allowed its empire to flourish and endure. The latter Roman Republic and the Pax Romana of the Roman empire produced a stable and secure transportation network that enabled the shipment of trade goods without fear of significant piracy, as Rome had become the sole effective sea power in the Mediterranean with ...

Light appetizers and a cash bar will be available.. The ability of archaeology to offer insight about long-term change is one of the major contributions of the discipline. Archaeologists and those that are interested in archaeological work have been particularly interested in understanding why cultures change, what constitutes progress, and why societies seemingly vanish.. Scholars have sought answers for why there was widespread collapse at the end of the Bronze Age, what happened to the ancient Maya, and why the Roman empire fell. Yet perhaps these ideas of progress and collapse are rooted in other ideologies and perhaps we are reading our own concerns into the archaeological record. Through a series of case studies, McGeough challenges the ideas of progress, decline, and collapse.. ...

The different words for henna in ancient languages imply that henna had more than one point of discovery and origin, and different pathways of daily and ceremonial use.. Henna has been used to adorn young womens bodies as part of social and holiday celebrations since the late Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean. The earliest text mentioning henna in the context of marriage and fertility celebrations comes from the Ugaritic legend of Baal and Anath [12], which has references to women marking themselves with henna in preparation to meet their husbands, and Anath adorning herself with henna to celebrate a victory over the enemies of Baal. Wall paintings excavated at Akrotiri (dating prior to the eruption of Thera in 1680 BCE) show women with markings consistent with henna on their nails, palms and soles, in a tableau consistent with the henna bridal description from Ugarit [13] Many statuettes of young women dating between 1500 and 500 BCE along the Mediterranean coastline have raised hands ...

I used to hate Elizabeth Taylor. Of course I blamed Hollywood, but I still condemned her white skin while playing the part of Cleopatra. That milky white skin and those violet eyes (always looked blue to me anyway) just didnt belong on the Queen of Egypt. I imagined Cleopatra with dark Nubian skin and a long lean figure. I blamed Hollywoods infatuation with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton for a white Cleopatra. I scoffed at the television every time I surfed past her Egyptian-clad face. Of course, that was all before. Egypt has a history longer than I can comprehend. I feel pride at the thought that the country I live in has survived for over 200 years. I feel pride that the blood that courses through my veins belonged to the Roman Empire, which lasted well over 600 years. I cannot imagine, however, the thought of a civilization that has survived for over 6000 years. My mind boggles at the idea that Egypt has and always will be a force on Earth. With a civilization this old, there were ...

If it were not for that one country on the edge of the Mediterranean, Muslim would be peaceful. Were it not for Zionism, the Vatican would crush the cult of Allah. You doubling up on stupid?? In the real world, the mussies attack Israel (a) because theyre not mussy, and (b) they are an outpost of Western civilization. Of which too many jackasses make a mockery of the word civilization. And the Vatican will crush gay porn - oops, sorry, that was a mean-spirited jibe about a small minority of priests in the Church,- the Vatican will crush mussies how? No military… and not doing a damn thing about the Christians being slaughtered in the Levant doesnt really inspire confidence..

religious morality has been a partial bulwark against anarchy on the one hand, and the rise of totalitarian tyranny on the other. I have also expounded on this topic previously elsewhere.[30] This benefit is true also for other religions, particularly Buddhism [photo, left] and Hinduism, which have provided peace, moral guidance, and solace to an otherwise trying existence for countless millions in Asia and elsewhere over the centuries.. The length of this already quite extended historical review article precludes expounding on the possible effects of skepticism, angst, irreligion, and the stress and fast pace of modern life on the state of mind and mental health of contemporary society. Let me just remind the reader that mental illness, random violence and senseless crime have been on the rise concomitant with modern technological advances.[25,29,31] And as early as the 19th century through the mid-20th century, eminent psychoanalysts, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) and Carl Jung (1875-1961); ...

Ancient Egypt - Macedonian and Ptolemaic Egypt (332-30 bce): In the autumn of 332 bce Alexander the Great invaded Egypt with his mixed army of Macedonians and Greeks and found the Egyptians ready to throw off the oppressive control of the Persians. Alexander was welcomed by the Egyptians as a liberator and took the country without a battle. He journeyed to Siwa Oasis in the Western Desert to visit the Oracle of Amon, renowned in the Greek world; it disclosed the information that Alexander was the son of Amon. There may also have been a coronation at the Egyptian capital, Memphis, which, if it occurred, would have placed him

Now that scientists have found huge deposits of water ice on the Moon, the question arises of who will control these hydraulic resources and under what authority? Wittfogel thought that in societies like China, ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Russia, there emerged a class in a society whose leaders are the holders of despotic state power and not private owners and entrepreneurs and that in hydraulic society there exists a bureaucratic landlordism, a bureaucratic capitalism, and a bureaucratic gentry. His vocabulary may seem a bit archaic in 2010, but the danger he described is all too real.. The size of the water find on the Moon, estimated at 600 million metric tons in the Moons north polar region alone, may seem like a lot, but it is roughly the equivalent of the annual output of six mid-sized desalinization plants. Because of its location it may end up being very valuable indeed. It is also an indication that water may be common throughout the solar system.. On or off Earth, the way ...

Anhui Province is located at the hinterland of East China, crossing the Yangtze River and the middle and lower reaches of the Huaihe River. To the east, it links with Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces; to the west, it adjoins Hubei and Henan provinces; to the south it borders Jiangxi Province; and to the north it backs on Shandong Province. It is the cradle of Chinese civilization, and home to the famous Huaihe River culture and Hui culture. Here originated the Jianan Literature, the Tongcheng Literary School and Xinan Culture. Furthermore, Anhui is known as the land of traditional drama and opera represented by Hui Opera. Huangmei Opera and Flower Drama Dance which are shining points in Chinese traditional culture. It brought up Hui Merchants that had been acclaimed in the business field for 300 years and Chinas first steam engine, mechanical ship and telephone were produced in Anhui. All the achievements opened a new page for Chinas commercial and modern industrial civilization. Anhui ancient ...

Readers of this blog may have noticed a distinct lack of interest on our part in classical Greek historic sites. We could have visited Delphi and Olympos if we had set our mind to it. Maybe its because we know too little about Ancient Greece. Maybe it hasnt captured our imagination sufficiently. Because imagination is probably what is most required to visit the ruins here. Not surprisingly, theres not a lot left standing. However, now here we are at Knossos, the capital of Minoan civilisation. This is the oldest known European civilisation, existing at the same time to the Egyptians in their prime and long before the classical Greek period. It consisted primarily of a collection of city states on Crete. Around the late 1800s a German archaeologist found something of interest at Knossos, but an Englishman, Evans, beat him to a deal with the Turks to start excavating here. Evans uncovered a large palace/temple complex, some of it with well-preserved frescoes. But most of it was a pile of old ...

The fantastical tale offers a still-inspiring dream of a social science that could save civilisation... -There are certain novels that can shape a teenage boys life. For some, its Ayn Rands Atlas Shrugged; for others its Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings. As a widely quoted internet meme says, the unrealistic fantasy world portrayed in one of those books can warp a young mans character forever; the other book is about orcs. But for me, of course, it was neither. My Book - the one that has stayed with me for four-and-a-half decades - is Isaac Asimovs Foundation Trilogy, written when Asimov was barely out of his teens himself. I didnt grow up wanting to be a square-jawed individualist or join a heroic quest; I grew up wanting to be Hari Seldon, using my understanding of the mathematics of human behaviour to save civilisation.OK, economics is a pretty poor substitute; I dont expect to be making recorded appearances in the Time Vault a century or two from now. But I tried.So how do the

21 June 2011 As the situation in Libya endures, the organisation and its members continue to deplore the suffering and loss of life this conflict imposes on the Libyan population. The Blue Shield reaffirms its initial statement of 14 March 2011 for the protection of the countrys invaluable cultural heritage amidst the existing turmoil. Reiterating its call on all parties to respect the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, the Blue Shield warns of the potential risks for the countrys cultural heritage as the conflict escalates. Libya is a State party to the 1972 UNESCO World Heritage Convention. Five sites in this vast country, stretching from the Prehistoric era to Islamic civilization and bearing witness to the rise and fall of sophisticated cultures, are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Three of these sites, Cyrene, Leptis Magna, and Sabratha, are evidence of the civilization that flourished in Libya during the Punic, ...

So far, only a handful of the more than 500 exoplanets on record have actually been seen by our ground- and space-based telescopes. The vast majority of foreign worlds have instead turned up via indirect means. One common technique, for instance, relies on detecting the slight gravitational wobbles exoplanets impart to their host stars. Another technique, the transit method, registers the tiny dip in a stars light as an exoplanet crosses in front of it relative to our vantage point. NASAs Kepler mission, in just its first four months of operations, has already come up with a list of more than 1,200 candidate exoplanets using the transit method ...

Parag Khanna is a celebrity geopolitical strategist who was born in India, educated in the United States and the U.K., and who has traveled to more than 100 countries. He served as a senior geopolitical advisor to U.S. Special Operation Forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, is a senior research fellow at the University of Singapore, and lectures frequently on global trends and scenarios.. Connectography, published earlier this year, is Khannas book about globalization from a geopolitical perspective. Khanna believes that Nothing tells us more about the future of geopolitics than tracing infrastructure projects on the ground. Khana is fascinated by maps, but he dismisses political maps as one of historys foremost propaganda tools. He believes that The best maps juxtapose physical geography with man-made connectivity. The book includes 38 attractive colored maps that illustrate everything from the spread of special economic zones to global migration.. Apparently informed by his experiences in ...

Background Dupuytrens contracture or disease (DD) is a fibro-proliferative disease of the hand that results in the development of scar-like collagen-rich disease cords within specific palmar fascia bands. matrices brought on dramatic changes in β-catenin and fibronectin levels including a transient increase in β-catenin levels within disease cells while fibronectin levels steadily decreased to levels below those seen in normal cell cultures. On the other hand both fibronectin and β-catenin amounts elevated in attached collagen-matrix civilizations of disease cells while control civilizations showed only increases in fibronectin levels. Immunocytochemistry analysis also revealed considerable filamentous actin networks in disease cells and enhanced attachment and distributing of disease cell in collagen MP470 matrices. OI4 Conclusion Three-dimensional collagen matrix cultures of main disease cell lines are more contractile and express a MP470 more considerable filamentous actin network than ...

Creeping socialism? Been too late since 1933.. …Or since Woodrow Wilson. Or since the FDA; or since the railroads pushed high, wide and mighty to get their pick into the White House, some hotshot Illinois lawyer running on the ticket of an upstart party - not that the Democrats or the Whigs had anything better to offer. Or maybe since Washington drafted that first Executive Order, doing his damnedest to do right (as he saw it) by a new system of government. All of these people and measures were well-intentioned (even, horribly enough, the odious Wilson, who left a legacy that got churches blown up a generation later) but as sure as water runs downhill, pushed this country closer and closer to that ground state of human civilization, with a large, poor and powerless ruled class and a small, vicious and largely unrestrained hereditary ruling class.. But not to worry; though the Republic is long dead, there are probably centuries of Empire ahead, with the old forms all hollowed out, propped up ...

Small and Defective Imaginations.. As a human civilization we need to recognize the pervasive problem of small and defective imaginations. Over the past 50 years, government leaders, corporate leaders, leaders of religions, leaders of education, leaders of science and technology have all proven to possess small and defective imaginations. Scientific, technological or economic geniuses often lack all ability to use their brilliant minds to solve large social problems. They often attempt social engineering, attempt to force their will on all the rest of us. And of course, since they consider themselves the best minds of humanity, they are certain they provide the best solutions.. Four examples will suffice. 1.) Aaron Swartz, death by his own government. 2.) The 2008 economic crash. 3.) Roman Catholic priest pedophilia. 4.) Covid pandemic.. Example number 1.) Aaron Swartz is the young genius who killed himself, after being trapped and harassed by his own Federal Government. In a press release by ...

Editors note: This article first appeared at Forbes.com.. Saturday, Nov. 9, marks the 24th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. It is an important date in the history of human civilization. President Ronald Reagans demand, President Gorbachev, tear down this wall, constitute some of the most memorable words spoken in the last century. Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev were not the only two actors in this human drama. Many died confronting Soviet expansionism in the Southern cone of the Americas, in Angola, Afghanistan, and other corners of the globe.. A political leader and a think tank scholar deserve major credit for highlighting the importance of this date.. José María Aznar, former prime minister of Spain, has always been committed to freedom. Several years prior to his 1996 election, he created a think tank, FAES, to help disseminate the ideas of liberty.. Aznar had been so helpful with efforts around the globe that in early 2004 I asked a member of his team, Alberto Carnero, former ...

Difficulties of the Modern Western Medicine. ---Chinese Article is written by western medical doctor Liu Weimin. Translated by Zhongfang Red Cross International Hospital. All the viewpoints in this article are only for reference.. Preface. I am a doctor of western medicine spending my early study in Germany and I ve been engaged in clinical medicine over 30 years. I have also won many National Science and Technology Progress Awards in medical research. However, because of the contradiction between its theory and clinical practice, as well as the limitations of itself I gradually put forward many questions that why have we paid such a heavy cost and pain for good health and illness treatment? Doesn t our human civilization have more safe and scientific methods of treatment?. Suggestions on canceling western medicine:. 1. Western medicine theory is established on the basis of mechanical materialism and metaphysics. Although the research on human body s organic tissues has reached molecular and ...

The beauty industry has always been about skin care and a holistic approach to it.. This is something that goes back to the very beginning of human civilization, and this is a concept that has changed dramatically over time.. In fact, we have been able to develop a number of products that are clinically proven to be the best skin health products for people who have hyperpigmentation, acne, and/or blemishes.. So, it makes perfect sense that beauty products are the way to go if you want to treat your skin.. This concept has a few distinct advantages and disadvantages.. One of the advantages is that we can get a lot of the benefits of a skin care product without having to spend thousands of dollars on a cosmetic, or even skin-care-related product.. There is no reason that we couldnt use a skin-treatment product that will be able to treat the problem of hyperpigeonosis, for example, or the condition of acne.. For people who want to have a more holistic approach, the other advantage is that it can ...

Flying foxes in Australia are known to carry two infections which can pose a serious risk to human health - Australian bat lyssavirus and Hendra virus (Henipavirus). These bat-borne diseases, unique to Queensland, are among the deadliest viruses in the Western world. Although rare, these illnesses continue to mystify medical professionals. Unlike HIV/AIDS, which can now be effectively mitigated by medication, diagnosis of these bat-borne diseases is almost always fatal. Human infections with these viruses are fortunately very rare. Wherever human civilisations encroach on their natural habitat, e.g. as a part of rainforest clearing operations for mining or agricultural use, there exists risk of accidental infectious human contact. Hendra virus is a virus that mainly infects megabats (large fruit bats, or flying foxes) which can be passed on to horses. Like Ebola and Marburg, Hendra is a haemorrhagic fever with high to very high mortality(50-90%). Both Ebola and Marburg virus have been ...

Affecting millions, gout has persisted throughout a long span of human civilization when first identified by the Egyptians and recognized by Hippocrates. It was thought to be a disease of kings due to its association with luxury foods and alcohol consumption, which were affordable to only the wealthy. Today, we know that gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis resulting from elevated body uric acid pool, which leads to deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals mainly in joints [1]. Since this condition can be affected by different factors within our lifestyles, modern medications have not been made to specifically target the causative factor, which ultimately only suppress the symptoms. This article reviews recent literature by presenting the common etiologies and discussing drug innovations.. Methods. A thorough search of the published literature regarding (i) the epidemiology of gouty arthritis; (ii) signs and lab results presentation; (iii) drug management for gouty arthritis patients; ...

5. Final words and conclusions [previous section] [next section]. SGRs view is that the evidence is compelling that continued deployment of nuclear weapons by nuclear armed states, including the UK, creates a significant risk of a nuclear weapons accident or unintentional nuclear war, and therefore risks the future of human civilisation.. The arsenals of the UK and almost all the other nuclear powers exceed civilisation-threatening threshold levels above which a devastating nuclear winter is a serious risk. This means that any perceived advantage of either their use or the threat of their use is strongly outweighed by the risks. It is rather like people soaked in petrol in a tinder dry forest threatening each other with blow-torches whilst ignoring pleas to extinguish their flames from others who live in the forest.. This knowledge should act as an imperative for nuclear armed states to immediately remove any nuclear weapons from launch-on-warning status, rapidly end deployment of all nuclear ...

The earliest known drawing by Homo sapiens is estimated to be 73,000 years old. Engraved shells have been dated as far back as 500,000 years ago, although experts disagree on whether these engravings can be appropriately classified as Art.. From the Palaeolithic through to the Mesolithic, cave paintings and portable art such as figurines and beads predominated. Decorative workings are also seen on some utilitarian objects.. In the Neolithic era, early pottery appeared, as did sculpture and the construction of megaliths. Early rock art also first appeared during this period.. The advent of metalworking in the Bronze Age brought additional media for use in making Art. There was also an increase in stylistic diversity and the creation of objects that did not have any apparent function other than Art.. The Bronze Age also saw the development in some areas of artisans, a class of people specializing in the production of Art, as well as early writing systems.. By the Iron Age, civilizations with ...
