Recommended: Rome and America similarities

Even though historians believed for decades that the Roman empire did not have the capability to make their way out to the Americas, there has been recent evidence indicating that this in fact is quite far from the truth. Various scientists from the Ancient Artifact Preservation Society have uncovered a massive shipwreck that does prove the fact the Romans did attempt travel to this side of the atlantic to further expand their already massive global empire. The recent discovery of a Roman sword, a legionnaire’s whistle, gold coins and a part of a soldier's shield, one of the leading historian of this project named Pulitzer is now entirely convinced that the Romans did in fact visit North America. Moreover, for historians, these artifacts actually point to the possibility of other mariners from ancient civilizations "Today, the Ancient …show more content…

The historic investigator and his team claim that the Romans did indeed visit America anywhere between the pre or post the first century, thus validating the Roman population as the first non-indigenous group to arrive in the vast North American lands. Interestingly enough, the sword was actually brought up to the team’s attention when a man decided to contact a History Channel show that focused on the history of Oak Island. To demonstrate that this sword was in fact a Roman artifact, historians decided to thoroughly examine the surrounding area to see if any indigenous paintings or visual aids indicated that members of this massive global empire influenced the Nova Scotia area. To support the key findings from the team comprised of accomplished historians, Pulitzer found a number of carved images by the Mi'kmaq on cave walls that depict Roman legionnaires marching with swords and ships, nearly identical with the discovered sword near

  • The First Americans By Heather Pringle: The First Americans

    In the article written by Heather Pringle, “The First Americans,” she combines findings of various archaeologists across the globe that have aimed to debunk a popular theory of migration to the Americas. As stated in the article, it is commonly believed that the first to arrive in the New World traveled across the Bering Straight, a passageway far north connecting the northeastern tip of Asia and Alaska. 13,000 years ago, these hunters were said to have followed the mammals and other large prey over the ice-free passageway. Evidence of their stone tools being left behind has led them to be called the Clovis people.

  • The Crusades, The Rise Of Absolute Monarchs, And The Commercial Revolution

    Although the Americas were not discovered until the late 1400’s, there were many time periods in Europe that resulted in its discovery. The ones that stood out the most were the Crusades, the Renaissance, the rise of absolute monarchs, and the Commercial Revolution. Starting with the Crusades in the 11th century, it took hundreds of years for the age of exploration to begin. As the years went by, the Catholic religion, advances in technology, wealth, and power became important factors in the conquest and colonization of lands in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. European developments led to the discovery of America through religious, social, political, and economic causes.

    If the permanent opening of the Americas had occurred twelve centuries earlier under the Roman Empire, the nature of the transatlantic cultural exchange might have been dramatically different.

  • Mass Media Mistakes: Implications of Archaeological Misportrayal

    1612 Words  | 4 Pages

    If you ask the majority of citizens in the United States about their opinion on the validity of geography-based cultural heritage claims, chances are they will either look at you like you are crazy or dive into an explanation about the most recent show they saw on the history channel about the repatriation of the Kennewick Man. Like any other topic, a person’s scope of knowledge in regards to archaeology is limited to the material that they have been exposed to. In today’s society, the majority of this information is gleaned from popular media sources such as National Geographic, the History Channel, Wikipedia, and other mainstream “educational” resources. Although very popular, these resources often offer interpretations that sensationalize and misrepresent archaeological data. The media is the main conduit of educational information and therefore, has a societal obligation to accurately portray archaeological findings and data.

  • Roman Gladiator Research Paper

    There were only a few different ways that the survivors could cope with what they had just been through. Most just focused on the fact that they were the survivor of said battle and kept on fighting to survive. Some, on the other hand, couldn’t deal with what they had just experienced and thought the only reasonable solution to their emotional pain was suicide. One such gladiator, a German slave and beast fighter, while preparing himself for his morning exhibition went to use the bathroom. While no one was watching, he shoved a Roman bog brush down his throat, thus clogging his windpipe, leading him to suffocate and die. Those gladiators who did not take this route found themselves again in the arena, facing death, which many of them suffered.

  • The Study of Archaeology

    1055 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to The Society for American Archaeology, the definition of Archaeology is, “to obtain a chronology of the past, a sequence of events and dates that, in a sense, is a backward extension of history.” The study of ancient civilizations and archaeology is rather ambiguous due to the primitive nature of the time period. With little imagery and even less textual evidence, professionals in the field must work diligently when studying their subjects. Naturally, archaeologists cannot see or communicate with those whom they are studying, so they must be extraordinarily meticulous when analyzing past cultures. This relates to all aspects of the ancient world including; foods, raw materials, artifacts, agriculture, art work and pottery. All of these elements can collectively provide new and innovative information to curious archaeologists who may wish to gain a better understanding of those who came before us. This information is equally beneficial for both historians and archaeologists who plan to compare the histories of societies from all around the world. In the world of archaeology, archaeologists strive to better explain human behavior by analyzing our past. Therefore, the study of archaeology is a key element in understanding a time before our own.
