The Horde In the 14th Century half of Eurasia is occupied by the Golden Horde. Europe waits in trepidation for its attack, anticipating the death of the Christian civilization. The Great Khan is killed by his brother Dzhanibek and their mother Taidula should now pass judgment, to persecute the conspirator or to bless him for the reign. The film tells the story of how Saint Alexius, the Metropolitan of Moscow and Wonderworker of All Russia, healed Taidula from blindness, in 1357. The journey
It was a gloomy Saturday morning with thick fog covering the city like a blanket. Jack was gazing out of the window waiting for this strange fog to disappear. He made his bed, making sure everything looked perfect, the way he was taught in the marines and went downstairs to make a cup of coffee and take care of his mother, father and younger brother, but something else was on his mind besides taking care of them. He really was getting worried about what had been going on lately, on tv they kept on
Russia and the Mongols In a speech broadcast to London via radio on October 1st, 1939, Winston Churchill famously said: “I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma (Murdico, 1).” While it is true that Churchill was referring to his inability to predict the country’s actions in regards to the impending world war, the words can be used to illustrate a general confusion and lack of understanding, by both western and eastern powers alike, concerning

Mongol rule over the Great Khanate in China (1271-1368) and the Golden Horde in Russia (1240-1502) affected both the political and economic aspects of the original empires. Politically, the Mongols enforced their own, new government in order to fit their attitudes toward the conquered people. Economically, actions taken by the Mongol elite were performed with the goal of producing a profit with the help of the resources and people already in the conquered region. The significant political and economic

From 1240 to 1480, the infamous Mongol Horde dominated the territory that would one day become the country of Russia. While the Mongols, or Tatars did not enforce social, religious, and political change the way other conquerors from history have been wont to do, they still left their mark on the culture. Compared to other powerful conquerers throughout history, the Tayats made relatively little changes to their Rus subjects. But what they did change or affect has had subtle but long lasting consequences

Another important term is Anusim, referring to those "whose conversion was prompted by violence and fear not sincerity” (Hordes 6). Marranos, were secretive people often, “keeping their children from their Jewish identity, until they reached an age where discretion could be trusted "(Telushkin 195). All of these

Although some of the actions displayed by Boudicca and her horde may have seemed brutal, even barbaric to some, this was reflection of the time she lived in. Boudicca’s revolt was an act of revenge and the lack of respect shown to the Celtic people, in particular Boudicca and her family, by the Romans was reflected
Give a critical account of Freud’s understanding of religion. To answer the set question I will explore Freud’s Totem and Taboo looking at his theory of the primal horde and Oedipus complex and his theory on religion as an illusion. Also looking at Freud’s theory that religion is unhealthy psychologically. To conclude I will explore his relationship with Jung and the affect his criticism of Freud’s theory had on their professional collaboration. Freud’s interpretation of the totem as representing
Sigmund Freud; Father of the psychoanalytic school of psychology, was not a friend to religious belief. Freud’s understanding of religion, to put it bluntly, was that of an illusion. That is to say, not necessarily false, but developed in response to the need to overcome the conflict between our sexual natures and the nature of civilisation. From this, we can attempt to critique said theory in order to see how “valid” it really is in the face of religion. For Freud’s position to be truly valid, we

In these groups of early humans, there was always a dominant male, for example, like in wolf packs.

pondered over the qualities that make a conqueror successful. An impeccable conqueror should possess traits like perseverance, diligence, intelligence and patience. One conqueror who possessed these qualities was Genghis Khan, the leader of the Mongol Horde. Around 1162, near the present-day border between Mongolia and Siberia, a child clutching his own blood clot was born (Genghis Khan BBC Part 1/5) . The child, named Temujin, later Genghis Khan, was a ruthless conqueror and leader as well as a fearsome

The night before the citizens of Redwall knew that Cluny was coming, Matthias and Brother Alf had caught a giant fish that was big enough to feed all of the animals inside of Redwall so they had a big feast. When Matthias and Constance the badger were taking some of the animals who lived outside of the abbey home, they saw Cluny and his horde rolling past in a hay cart so they went back to the abbey to warn
Since rats lived in close contact with the humans it made this possible. The first people to get infected were the Golden Horde in China, which at the time was ruled by Mongols. The Golden Horde which was an army were attacking the Genose city of Caffa. They catapulted dead bodies over the city walls. The people of the city began to get infected too.

the senators that were failing to govern the empire. Julius Caesar was a great leader for Rome. He was able to obtain large amounts of food. All the food combined was enough to hand out to all the hungry hordes of people in Rome who were not fed when the senators where in charge. “The hungry hordes in the city were now given free bread.” This shows that Caesar cares for all the people in Rome. Instead of keeping all the food for himself he handed it out to the people that needed it more. If Caesar
