The site of Emperor Haung’s tomb is located in Lintong, Shaanxi province, near the city of Xi’an in China (Kesner 1995). After its completion in 210 BCE, it was covered by earth mined from an area near the Wei River, sealing it away from the outside world for over two thousand years (Swart 1984). While ancient historians wrote of the unbelievable tomb, hidden under a massive pile of earth, many modern historians simply did not believe it to be true. However, between 1932 and 1970, five figures of kneeling servants were found near where the tomb mound was thought to be (Swart 1984). The mausoleum itself was eventually unearthed in 1974 by farmers who were digging wells and accidentally broke into a vast pit containing life-sized statues of about 6,000 soldiers and horses. A group of Chinese archaeologists were assigned to excavate the site and dig up its ancient treasures. In 1976, two more underground pits were found with about 1,500 more soldiers and horses (Swart 1984). Other than the clay soldiers and horses, brass figures were discovered...
Teotihuacan is an ancient Mayan city that can be found about 25 miles away from modern Mexico City. This large ancient city has several pyramids and the third largest pyramid is The Temple of the Feathered Serpent. The pyramid is hardly the most famous one associated with this archaeological site but it did gain popularity during the 1980s because of a series of discoveries of curious tombs located below the structure. There are over two hundred sacrificial burials that archaeologists believe were buried as a part of a dedication of the temple. The way that the bodies were laid out doesn’t have a specific meaning yet because the bodies seem to be grouped together in certain locations. The bodies are both from men and women, with the men having weapons and jewellery buried with them which probably indicated that they were warriors. Archaeologists believe that the temple may have been the resting place of a great leader as well thanks to a large deposit of liquid mercury that was
In all I learned that the Sutton Hoo was a means of respect and tradition among Anglo-Saxon people. This was the people’s way to pay homage for a fallen warrior.
Don Bell had the west in his eyes and heart. He was twelve when he entered his first rodeo contest. Until 1943 he competed in rough stock events, such as calf roping, team roping, steer wrestling, and saddle bronc, and appeared at such venues as Soldier Field in Chicago and the Boston Gardens. Don was part of the Clyde Miller Wild West Show, the Bill King Rodeo Co., and Rufus Rollins’ Wild West Show. In the Western movie Shane, he rode a bucking horse in a muddy street scene. Don was an original Gold Card-holding member of the Cowboy Turtle Association, the first professional rodeo association, and an honorary cardholder of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. The rodeo gear he wore is in the collection of the Smithsonian Institute.
They were mostly seen as having a purely anthropological value. However, the artefacts brought to England from Benin in 1897 were an anomaly. The craftsmanship and sophistication were such that some were reminiscent of the beautiful figures in the Hofkiche, Innsbruck 1502-1563 (plate 3.1.12. Visited in 2008).... ...

The city of Corning, New York gained one of the most influential advocates on September 14, 1879: the daughter of Bob Higgins and Anne Purcell Higgins. Little to Bob or Anne’s knowledge, Margaret Louisa Higgins, later known as Margaret Sanger, was destined to change the world of contraceptives for its present-day use: modern birth control. As the sixth child of eleven, Sanger grew up in poverty; with a socialist advocate for a father, and a recurrently pregnant mother constantly worn down from those pregnancies and later dying of tuberculosis. Although tuberculosis ultimately killed Sanger’s mother, Sanger believed that the frequent pregnancies of Anne burdened her mother and were the underlying cause of her relatively early death at the age
In the Latin language, the word excelsior, translates to “ever upward.” This word is everywhere; from the New York State slogan to the movie Silver Linings Playbook. This word is also on the bedroom wall and dorm room of eighteen year old Jack Henderson. To him, excelsior means to always think positive and that there is always something greater happening.
The story of the Hokulea, a model of the first canoes that brought the first Polynesians to Hawaii, is a story that restores cultural pride and history to Hawaiians. Her legacy was almost extinct, but survived and restored the relationship that society has with its island home. More than 600 years had gone by without seeing one of these canoes, until artist Herb Kane thought to build a sailing canoe just like the ones his ancestors sailed (“The Story of Hokulea”). Responsible for being the cornerstone of Polynesian culture, the Hokulea has evolved over many years and has helped revive a heritage that was almost lost.
Another issue with race is Miamifield’s community perspective and involvement with it. Miamifield community members have been sharply criticized for ignoring the history and literature of racial minorities in the United States and the world. Adults in the local African American, Latino, and Asian American populations had recently formed a coalition demanding that a series of eleventh-grade ethnic studies courses be developed and offered as alternatives to any student who might wish to study American history or literature from a different perspective. This caused a conflict in the community. But the former mayor insisted that ethnic-studies courses are themselves racist since they identify race as a central element of each person rather than

Russell holds a record eleven championship rings and got them by being one of the most impactful centers in all of basketball.

In Los Angeles during the summer of 1955, Doctor Foster had enough patients to secure admitting privileges at a hospital; however, it was not near Cedars Sinai or UCLA Medical Center. The hospital was near his office and was called Metropolitan Hospital (Wilkerson, 2010, p. 309). The majority of the patients were of color, but the hospital doctors were white, with the very few exceptions, Doctor Foster was one of them (Wilkerson, 2010, p. 309).
