    The statue of Hatshepsut seated down is made with the material limestone. This limestone is lightly colored, which created a larger contrast with the other statues nearby. Her face was carved bringing out her eyes, eyebrows and other facial features. Her eyebrows also come slightly together towards the middle. Her lips forming a slight archaic smile.

However, it is greatly exaggerated in size.

Statue of a kouros, from about 590 B.C and Portrait of a boy, from about the first century, do not share any great technical aspects and are basically nothing alike.

    History has a strange way of coming back around when it comes to human civilization. It has been said repeatedly that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. However, just because there is a potential for danger in the future, this does not mean that humanity must ignore what once was. History is normally remembered through what is known as a memorial. When a memorial is put into a physical representation, it is then known as a monument.The need to memorialize events or people is complex; in some cases, monuments honor moments of great achievement, while in other cases, monuments pay homage to deep sacrifice. A monument's size, location, and materials are all considerations in planning and creating a memorial to the past. Examples of such feats are the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and even Mount Rushmore. For the latter of the

    1654 Words  | 4 Pages

    It’s one of the greatest debates right now in modern time sports. Who is the greatest basketball player ever? Is it His Airness, or is it King James? The debate on whether Michael Jordan or LeBron James is the greatest basketball player ever is a prevalent topic in sports news daily. Many people believe that LeBron James is the greatest basketball player to be currently playing and also the greatest player to ever have played in the NBA. My theory, however, is that rather than LeBron James, the greatest basketball player to ever have played the game is Michael Jordan. Although I agree with the claim that LeBron James is the best current player in the NBA, I believe that he is nowhere near being considered better than Michael Jordan.

    According to TheGuardian, a statue of Apollo was found somewhere deep in the sea. A rare bronze statue of the Greek god Apollo was discovered this week in the Gaza strip after being lost for centuries" (pg, 1) It's significance is uncanny because who knows how old the statue really is. We could give it an approximate, perhaps centuries, but nothing precise. It was found by a Palestinian fisherman who said it was very difficult getting it up ashore. A local Palestinian fisherman, Joudat Ghrab, says he discovered the bronze statue on the seabed last year but was unaware of its significance. It took him and his family four hours to drag the statue ashore" (pg, 2). It's astonishing that they found such a masterpiece, simply mind blowing. Oddly
