The initial construction of the building began in 1900 and finished in 1912. It was opened by the then Governor, Sir Frederick Luggard on 15 January (Hong Kong Architecture Aesthetics Of Density 1993:132).

What would you state as the most baffling mystery in Egypt? Some people say it’s the pyramids. Others say it’s the gods. But in my opinion, it’ll be the mystery of King Tutankhamun’s death. It’s still a mystery that scientists, archaeologists, and Egyptologists are still unsure of the answer. This brings to my topic of the paper: the theories of how King Tut died. This is a brief history of King Tut. King Tutankhamun , who is known as King Tut, or Tutankhaten was the son of Akhenaten and The Younger
Dr Zawi Hawass, Egyptologist and the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Egypt, initially requested the stone to be returned to Egypt in 2002, however in 2005 the British Museum validated the legality of its ownership by examining the Capitulation of Alexandria, which was signed by Ottoman and Mameluke leaders
The Canon of Biblical Writings For centuries now Christians have claimed to possess the special revelation of an omnipotent, loving Deity who is sovereign over all of His creation. This special revelation is in written form and is what has come to be known as The Bible which consists of two books. The first book is the Hebrew Scriptures, written by prophets in a time that was before Christ, and the second book is the New Testament, which was written by Apostles and disciples of the risen Lord

In July 2003, Egypt demanded that the Rosetta Stone be returned to Cairo (Edwardes and Milner 2003). The director of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Cairo said, “If the British want to be remembered, if they want to restore their reputation, they should volunteer to return the Rosetta Stone because it is the icon of our Egyptian identity.” (Edwardes and Milner 2003). As of 2009
For 1,500 years, the world had lost the way to understand ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic scripts. Then, in 1799, a French soldier stumbled upon an artifact that sparked a race to read the forgotten words of the pharaohs. The Rosetta Stone was discovered in the ruins of the fort St. Julien, near the mouth of the Nile downriver from Rosetta. Renowned by the entire world, the Rosetta stone changed people’s lives because of its origins, how it influenced life today, and the battle of where it belongs
delta. Britain has had the Rosetta Stone for the past 200 years. The British Museum has it as a centerpiece in their Egyptology collection. A man by the name of Zahi Hawass, who is the director of the Supreme Council of Antiquities in Cairo, has made it a point to negotiate with academics and curators at the British Museum on getting the stone back. Vivian Davies the man who is in charge of the Department of Ancient Egypt and
were influential in the development of the ethos of modern nursing. Nursing has been labeled as a job for a female, as a doctor is a man’s role. Nursing historians face the challenge of determining whether care provided to the sick or injured in antiquity was nursing care. In the fifth century BC, for example, the Hippocratic Collection in places describes skilled care and observation of patients by male "attendants", who may have been early nurses.

Source Analysis on The Bust of Nefertiti The Bust of Nefertiti is a fourteenth century BC treasure. Egyptian sculptor Thutmose created the bust in 1345 B.C. There is almost no information on the life of Thutmose. The bust is made from limestone with a thin layer of plaster cover the entire bust. Sculpting during this time period usually involves wood, clay or metals. The use of limestone indicates that the sculptor is trying to enhance the image of Queen Nefertiti. Using limestone allows
the council played a vital role in revitalizing the Roman Catholic church in many parts of Europe. Though Germany demanded a general council following the excommunication of the German Reformation leader Martin Luther Pope Clement VII held back for fear of renewed attacks on his supremacy. France, too, preferred inaction, afraid of increasing German power. Clement's successor, Paul III, however, was convinced that Christian unity and effective church reform could come only through a council. After
Egyptian Tombs Egyptologists had lost interest in the site of tomb 5, which had been explored and looted decades ago. Therefore, they wanted to give way to a parking lot. However, no one would have ever known the treasure that lay only 200 ft. from King Tut's resting place which was beyond a few rubble strewn rooms that previous excavators had used to hold their debris. Dr. Kent Weeks, an Egyptologist with the American University in Cairo, wanted to be sure the new parking facility
There are different forms of governments and among them are democratic and dictatorships. The difference between these two forms of governance is that while in a democratic governance, the leader is chosen by the governed, governance of the people, by the people and for the people according to Abraham Lincoln.

Ancient Egypt was an absolutely brilliant place despite the blistering climate and all the sand. When someone hears Egypt nine times out of ten they think of pyramids. The pyramids in Egypt are so famous, yet no one knows exactly how one would, or even could construct such a monument. However we have found out what lays inside of some of these gargantuan, monumental structures. Unlike present time where one would get put six feet under the ground with nothing but a casket and a tomb stone; in
“Are political Islam and democracy compatible?” This question has been troubling both Muslims and non-Muslims living in East and West for a long time now. Contemporary Islamic political thought has become deeply influenced by attempts at reconciling Islam and democracy. Muslim thinkers who deal with political debates cannot disregard the significance of the democratic system, as it is the prevailing theme of modern western political thought. Hence, it is necessary for any alternative political system
Trends of Contemporary Russian Thought (1) ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on the most recent period in the development of Russian thought (1960s-1990s). Proceeding from the cyclical patterns of Russian intellectual history, I propose to name it 'the third philosophical awakening.' I define the main tendency of this period as 'the struggle of thought against ideocracy.' I then suggest a classification of main trends in Russian thought of this period: (1) Dialectical materialism in its evolution
