My Life as a Hunter-Gatherer

My name is Guadalaptue and I will be talking about my everyday life here in my village of Nesorara. I have a beautiful wife named Keara and two children by the names of Nevaeh and Molly. Since girls are frowned upon to work, I am the workingman of the family. I hunt animals such as wild boar, deer and bear and pick berries. My family has to set up camp wherever food is most available at the time, so we move around depending on the weather.

Today, the men that I work with and I have our work set out for us. It is December 31st, 20,000 BCE. Our men have found a terrific place to set up a temple. We don’t know exactly what the location is but we are pretty sure we are in the middle of

Turkey. Our goal is to make this site a place to sacrifice humans and animals.

We will set up camp around this site and if any other tribe comes near ours, we will take their leader and sacrifice him so the tribe will be afraid to come back. Sacrificing is not always a bad thing, though. We have also decided to build this site to sacrifice animals. Our tribe feels that animals are very important to our lives because they provide us with food and energy so we can live. Once we have put up the walls of the site, we will then carve animals that are most important to us on the stone.

Since I am very strong, my job is to bring the stone to the hill where it will be assembled into part of the building. It is a

very difficult and stressful job spending up to 16 hours a day working.
After many years of building it, it was finally completed. The building was a masterpiece and we were all very proud. The stone pillars are 16 feet high, about the length of 3 of our fully-grown men vertically stacked on top of each other. The stone pillars each weigh about 10 elephants combined. We made them “T” shaped so they could support the roof. Even though my job was not carving the stone, I know that the carvers made tools out of some kind of mineral

    The colossal stone heads are 14 large stone structures, with heights varying between 5 to 12 feet, weighing between 5 to 50 tons, and sculpted from basalt. The first stone structure was founded at Tres Zapotes in the nineteenth century and sparked an archeological investigation leaded by Matthew Sterling in 1938. All of the structures depict men with general facial features that were common during the time among the Olmecs. These heads were transported over long distances, requiring a great deal of human labor to transport them, although the method by which the Olmecs did so still remains a…

    I felt that this reading was very interesting and refreshing. Looking into a culture that conforms to nature instead of destroying it is somewhat of a foreign idea, yet makes perfect sense. The Inka practice of grafting structures formed to the land allowed them to "become one" with their natural surroundings. Keeping in mind the Inka beliefs, it is quite easy to see and understand why this type of building system was important to the people. The ending results were not stagnant perfectly dimensioned buildings, but instead organic structures that seemed to flow with the surrounding land.…

    President Bush's announcement on June 6, 2002, to create a permanent Cabinetlevel Department of Homeland Security, has catapulted the future of the beleaguered Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) into a higher orbit of uncertainty. The historic proposal, delivered to Congress on June 18, 2002, would merge a dozen agencies, among them the INS, into the new department. In announcing the plan, the President vowed that "this great country will lead the world to safety, security, peace and freedom." Bush explained that the reason for creating the new department was not to increase the size of government, "but to increase its focus and effectiveness."…

    Many artifacts were found at the site. These artifacts included things like bones, ceramics, chipped stones, pumice, shells, and stone axes. Most of the ceramics found were pottery shard from undecorated bowls. These shards help scientist date the site between 500 B.C-1200 A.D. The type of clay in the ceramics indicates there was also some trading within the region. The stone axes were an interesting find because the stone needed for a tool like that was not easily found in that area. Testing revealed that the stone was from a site in Georgia. This proved that there was a…

    There are around 900 temples that stand in Pagan today. Most of them were built in the 12th century. Most of their insides are covered with layers of fine mud, and also decorated with paintings that show scenes of battle or daily life in the market for the Pagan empire residents. Some also can depict traditional spirit deities, known as nats. Stupas, also known as temples, can range from “one-face” design to a “four-face: design. One-face designs will have one main entrance and four-face have four main entrances. The temples that have been built can be credited with inspiring many other civilizations buildings as they are usually awe inspiring. But how exactly did they built these monsters with no construction equipment that exists today?…

    Just to pound out the stone 60 to 70 men were needed. To get the stones to the pyramid, the men had to cut slot in the stone then ram pegs in the holes and put water in them. That was the only way they could split the stones with the limited tools they had. They had to lubricate an area to slide the stones to the pyramid by either the men or oxen pulling dragging them. When the stones got to the pyramid site, then the men had to build ramps to be able to get all the stones to the top. The ramps were "wrap-around" style. They couldn’t be straight because you needed wrap around for the upper layers of the great pyramid. They were made of mud brick and had pieces of plaster mixed in to make them harder.…

    Destines to become a classic of war reporting, black Hawk Down is Mark Bowden’s brilliant account of the longest sustained firefight involving American troops since the Vietnam War. On October 3, 1993 about a hundred elite U.S. soldiers were dropped by helicopters into the teeming market in the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia. Their mission was to abduct two tops lieutenants of a Somalia warlord and return to base. It was supposed to take an hour. Instead they found themselves pinned down through a long and terrible night fighting against thousands of heavily armed Somalis. The following morning, eighteen Americans were dead and more than seventy badly injured. “Bowden Captures the essence of combat the sights and sounds, the terror and the determination, the sheer will to survive.…

    This is where I came in, the building lacked the shrines before my team’s addition. The twin temple worshipped two deities, Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc, they were the sun god and rain deity. Huitzilopochtli and Coatepec took the north side, it represented Coatepec Hill where Coatlicue gave birth to Huitzilopochtli and where Coyolxauhqui was killed by her own brother. After her head was cut off, she was thrown to the bottom of the hill and was dismembered. At the base of the temple where the goddess had fallen, a sculpture can be found that represents the goddess’ downfall (The Great Temple). Conflict between brother and sister sets a tone of morality in the social aspects of civilization. The male was stronger and got to rise to the top near the heavens, while the female was defeated and stayed low on the platform (The Great Temple). The strong opposites of life and death is what makes this temple powerful, it was the highest form of…

    The granite slabs the Egyptians used to build the pyramids weighed forty tons apiece. They were able to move these blocks without the invention of the wheel or cart. It is amazing how the Egyptians built such big structures with such little technology because they were perfect in almost every dimension, it was all done by the physical strength of men, and many of the pyramids still stand today.…

    The inhabitants of the stone and bronze ages of Northern Italy, the region known as modern day Tuscany, eventually developed into the people that are known by others as the Etruscans (Nardo pg.8). The ancient Greeks had other names for them, including the Tyrsenoi or Tyrrhenoi and the Romans moniker for the Etruscans was the Tusci or Etrusci, but the Etruscans called themselves the Rasna or Rasenna. (Barker and Rasmussen pg. 85) If this confusion over a simple name seems odd, it is only the beginning of the mystery concerning this enigmatic culture.…
