    Half Mummy Case Study

    To begin, just at age three Jeannette was considered self-sufficient completing tasks such as cooking her own meals. While in her trailer home in a southern Arizona town, Jeannette wearing a pink ballerina like skirt, cooked hot dogs happily until her skirt caught fire. Struck frozen with fear Jeannette watched as the flames began to eat her skirt and raise to her face. As the fire crackled, Jeannette finally screamed for her mother, who was painting in the next room. Once Jeannette’s mother, Rose Mary, buried Jeannette in a surplus of itchy blankets which swallowed the flames, took Jeannette and her younger brother, Brian over and received a ride from a neighbor to the hospital. Immediately, once Jeannette, Rose Mary and Brian arrived at the hospital, Jeannette was placed on a stretcher where the nurses cut her pink skirt to shreds then covered her burned body with ice. After the doctors performed a skin graft on Jeannette, her entire right side was covered with bandages and with this Jeannette called herself a “half-mummy”.…

    Mummies In Ancient Greek Kraters

    Abstract: Egyptian canopic jars function as funerary pottery and a symbol of the protection offered by the four Sons of Horus. Although Egypt gets the most recognition, several other ancient cultures have similar pottery used for the dead’s benefit. Greek kraters functioned both as wine mixing pots and pots for liquid offerings for the dead. Both of these ceramics allow the viewer to observe key pieces of their respective cultures’ values, religion, and technology.…

    Compass Vs Straightedge Research

    Getting a good grade in geometry is very important, yet very hard to do if you cannot properly construct geometrical figures. Using a compass, a tool used to make arcs, and a straightedge; like a ruler, used to draw straight lines; helps students to properly construct figures. It is better to use a compass and straightedge to construct figures, than a drawing program online.…

    There are many possible reasons for the change in the age pyramids. One reason could have to do with the widening of the pyramid at almost every age particularly the older ages is better nutrition and medical advancements. Things like nutritional advancements and support allowed and still allows individuals to maintain their health. Medical advancements have helped treat medical conditions or injuries. This allowed individuals who would not have survived in the past the opportunity to recover and continue a productive life. Medical advances also help keep infants alive which has been part of the reason for the widening of the bottom of the pyramids in recent years.…

    Great Pyramids Research Paper

    The construction of the Great Pyramids of Giza is one of the greatest mysteries in history. They are the largest and most elaborate structures built in the ancient world, which is what considers them to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Great Pyramids of Giza are made up of three separate pyramids for three different pharaohs: Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure who were all pharaohs during the Fourth Dynasty (2,575-2,450 BCE), also known as the Old Kingdom. Khufu’s pyramid was built first and is known as the Great Pyramid. It took over 20 years to build his pyramid with the help of hundreds of thousands of peasants. Khafre, Khufu’s son, built his own pyramid a few years later and this pyramid appears to be larger than Khufu’s, however,…

    Researchers believe that today there are only about 80 pyramids left from ancient Egypt. The pyramids were built as tombs for the Pharaohs and their queens. During their time on earth, it was believed that the Pharaohs were the link between the people and gods and when the Pharaohs died, they became gods. Since they expected to become gods in the afterlife, the Pharaohs had massive pyramid tombs built for them and filled them with all the things they would need in the afterlife.…

    Mesopotamia Research Paper

    Mesopotamia, also known as the land between two rivers, became the grounds of many ancient civilizations that we know about today. Perhaps one of the most famous is Sumer. Sumer was a civilization that thrived off of the two river, the Tigris and the Euphrates. Using irrigation systems, the Sumerians used the floods of the rivers produced to grow crops and support the growing population. This civilization grew into an early form of a modern city, with things like business, jobs, currency, and social classes. How were the Sumerians able to keep track of money and payments and when floods happened without a writing system? Eventually, the Sumerians were able to create to world's earliest writing system to keep record of all this. Later, that system evolved and became what we…

    Math 214 Reflection Paper

    We also covered using visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems. Week two we also did an individual assignment to help us understand geometry. Week three we covered the application of geometry using chapters 10 and 11. We analyze geometric definitions and relationships including congruency, triangle properties and triangle inequalities. Circles and arcs are another concept studied as well as proportions between parallel lines and congruent segments. This helped me to study similarity and proportions between polygons and triangle. At the end of week three I was able to specify locations using coordinate geometry, describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry and use symmetry to analyze mathematical situations. In week four we covered Identify the relevant attributes of objects when solving problems as well as applying appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas to determine measurements. In week five we synthesize the mathematics concepts addressed in this course. As a team we worked on a power point dealing with a three dimensional shape and we discussed the surface, faces, sides, volume as well as…
