February 5, 2017

The Palette of Narmar is said to go back as far as the 31st century. It was discovered by James Quibell and Frederick Green. Both are British archaeologists. The Palette of Narmar is also referred to as The Great Hierakonpolis Palette. The Palette of Narmar is a unique piece of art that represents the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the ruling of King Narmar at that time. The art work is located at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Each side of the artwork symbolizes different things and tasks that was accomplished by King Narmar.

The Egyptians were required by canon law to use dimensions and scales. They are very specific in measurements. They are painted on grids of squares. It was considered

    26. Surgery Versus Splints A study compared surgery and splinting for subjects suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. It was found that among 73 patients treated with surgery, there was a 92% success rate. Among 83 patients treated with splints, there was a 72% success rate. Calculations using those results showed that if there really is no difference in success rates between surgery and splints, then there is about 1 chance in 1000 of getting success rates like the ones obtained in this study.…

    Established around 3200 B.C., Cuneiform writing in Sumeria is a wedge shape script made of clay material to act as the first written communication contract between humans. The earliest form of Cuneiform writing began in South Mesopotamia which is in Europe. Cuneiform writing is how humans guaranteed interactions between one another that went beyond talking. Cuneiform wedge writing is made of symbols to record keep agreements and or daily events such as travel, the purchase of animals and so on. The Palette of Narmar 3100 B.C. is a form of Cuneiform on two tablets that depicts the rise of King Narmer and the unity of the higher and lower divisions of Egypt. Both ceremonial palettes function as a tool for grinding makeup and a historical marker for the Kings takeover. The first palette shows King Narmar holding a weapon in one hand and the head of his intended victim on the other. The second palette shows King Narmar wearing a read crown that represents the takeover of the lower division of Egypt. Both of these palettes tell a story of military victory of the King Narmar. The second palette shows feline bodies with snake heads entertained together to once again represent the unification of the lower and upper divisions of Egypt.…

    Should America Convert To The Metric System

    Should America convert to the metric system? There are three countries that still didn’t convert to the metric system: US, Myanmar (formerly Burma) and Liberia. The US still uses the English units also known as the Imperial System. I think that US should convert to the metric system because: the metric system is much simpler, the whole world uses it, and the English system hurts the international trade.…

    There are many fascinating facets from the way Egyptians lived from the building of the pyramids to the burial of their leaders. It amazes me to know a society can build such structures without the modern day machinery that we have today. The passion they had for life and displaying that in the way they lived as written on the walls of their pyramids. One of the inaccuracies of these images is they are exactly the same. All the figures have the same body structure and build. Male and female resemble each other in such a way that the only way to tell them apart is by their facial hair. All of the images are depicted facing to the right or left and having the same size. This is still a mystery as to why their depiction of their people is of this nature.…

    Great Pyramids Research Paper

    According the Verner, the best evidence of the ancient Egyptians mathematical knowledge is found in the construction of their pyramids (Verner 70). For example, the Great Pyramid itself, which was built by Khufu, is not a typical four-sided pyramid like most pyramids built during the fourth century. In a book titled The Egyptian Pyramids, the author, J.P. Lepre states that the Great Pyramid is an eight-sided figure which is made possible with the concavity of it’s core (Lepre 65). The indentations that make this figure eight-sided, however, can only be seen from the air and are basically invisible from any position on the ground. This unique pyramid design and the ability of the ancient Egyptians to create an eight-sided figure that looks four-sided unless seen from the air, shows just how vast their mathematical skills and knowledge were thousands of years ago. In an article titled The Mysterious Secrets of the Great Pyramid, the author, William F. Dankenbring, discusses the ideas of another author named Peter Tompkins who says “Whoever built the Great Pyramid…knew the circumference of the planet, and the length of the year to several decimals – data which were not rediscovered till the seventeenth century” (Dankenbring 21). The fact that the ancient Egyptians had knowledge of such complex ideas before the common…

    The Palette of Narmer

    The Palette of Namer is an Ancient Egyptian artefact, pre-dating the Early Dynastic period. This clay tablet depicts the legacy of King Namer, but due to its mysterious nature, it is still unknown if these depictions are a historical record or a tool of political propaganda. Based on its size, shape and detailed images it is apparent that this palette was not used for daily purposes or historical archives. With further inspection of the images on the palette, it is clear that the chief purpose of the piece was not to record the historical ventures of King Narmer but to assert his kingship and dominance over Ancient Egypt.…

    The Narmer Palette

    “The Narmer Palette is a double-sided carving made of green siltstone,” and often referred to as a cosmetic palette. A cosmetic palette that Egyptians used as make-up, ranging in different colors. It was created most likely around c. 3100, during the Archaic Period (Early Dynastic Period) and while the palette was discovered in the year 1897 by archaeologists in the temple of god Horus at Nekhen, the capital of Upper Egypt it is unknown of who the actual author is. Even though, the creator is unknown to us, we can likely say that the person was likely from Egypt, either the Upper or Lower. Could have served under King Narmer, recording his triumphs or his princess Neithheotep of Lower Egypt. With that, he or she political, economic, social, and religious status remains unknown as well. Though, one can concur that it is similar to other Egyptians unless they were a part of a hierarchy. The intended audience of the Narmer Palette was most likely his followers, those to come after him, for others to know of him, and/or for the afterlife. The purpose of…

    Christian Worldview Analysis

    God gave Noah the exact measurements of the ark, so it will be able to fit two of every kind, both male and female of all living creatures, Noah himself, his wife, his sons, and his son’s wives (Genesis 6:12 – 22). God told Noah that the length of the ark should be 300 cubits; the breadth should be 50 cubits, and the height should be 30 cubits (Genesis 6:12 – 22). Noah used a cubit to measure the ark, in which a cubit comes from the Latin word cubitum, and it refers to the forearm (Lovett, 2007). The measurement is not an exact measure because it measures from the elbow to the fingertip, and each individual has a different length forearm. Noah could have used an object that represented the measurement of his forearm to honor God’s request of the Ark’s measurements. However, the experimental design that Noah used was the pretest/posttest control design (Jackson, 2012). The pretest/posttest control design is an experimental design that measures both before and after the manipulation of the independent variable. In building Noah’s Ark, Noah had to measure the gopher wood in cubits before and after because God gave him special instructions for the measurement of the ark. This design provides an approximate method of gauging the size of Noah 's Ark, and how he used measurement before the scientific method was…

    Native American Mathematics

    The Aztecs developed compasses, squares, plumb levels, and applied geometry for their building and measurement. Not only did they need these instruments for engineering their cities and edifices, but also for precise land measurement for taxation purposes (Landon, 1993, MA29). In contrast, the Omaha used a stake and a rawhide strap to make circles. Other North American native people, the Kwakuitl made right angles and squares with a system of cords and pegs by finding midpoints and doubling. (Landon, 1993, p.…

    History of Modern Architecture

    In the old traditions of the revivalist architecture of the past (pre -1850), the technology had limited the material that people used to build wall. There were no concrete or metal; instead, there were stone only. No matter in which period of time, Egyptian or Greek, the material that used to build the walls are stones only and those stone are big. Furthermore, without the helping of tools, people needed to use a lot of man power to move the stones. Also, it takes times for them to craft stones in a specific shape. This might make the require building time longer and not as efficient as the modern way.…
