Obtaining the knowledge that was passed down to them from earlier Mesoamerican cultures‚ the Aztecs carved the calendar stone in 1479 (Smith 253). At the time‚ the Aztecs lived in a very civilized world filled with amazing architecture‚ an impressively complex government system‚ and they also employed intricate systems of writing and calendric systems (Taube 7). The Calendar Stone was made by basalt stone. For the Aztecs‚ everything was pictorial in nature around this era. The calendar stone depicted

It is in a way like when you don’t have confidence in yourself‚ and your scared that it will never come back‚ but eventually it always does. You just have to try and keep it‚ like the moon. It will always come back after an eclipse‚ you just have to give it time. The title gives the message that‚ there will always be times where you lose

Contribution of Babylonians in Science and Technology Babylonia was an ancient cultural region in central-southern Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq)‚ withBabylon as its capital. Babylonia emerged when Hammurabi (fl. ca. 1696 – 1654 BC‚ short chronology) created an empire out of the territories of the former Akkadian Empire. Babylonia adopted the written Semitic Akkadian language for official use‚ and retained the Sumerian languagefor religious use‚ which by that time was no longer a spoken language

bringing the total to 1080. Public Domain Image As a mathematician‚ Hipparchus is credited with dividing a circle into 360° and being the first to use trigonometry. Using observations during the solar eclipse‚ probably in129 BC‚ he was able to work out the distance from the Earth to the Moon. The eclipse at Alexandria had been partial‚ four fifths of the sun had been covered‚ but at Syene it had been total. By measuring angles and applying distances between the two cities he was able to

What does superstition mean? As per the conventional definition‚ it’s a belief which says that events are influenced by our behavior in some ’magical’ way. In simple words we can say it’s “An extension of our blind beliefs”. Do you know why auspicious days are chosen by the leaders for their oath taking ceremony‚as they assume office? Why that cricketer kisses his locket on scoring a perfect 100? Why he keeps a special colored handkerchief? A simple reason answers all these questions; it’s the

discovery of helium. An emission line at 587.6 nm was first observed in the solar corona during the eclipse of August 18‚ 1868‚ although the precise wavelength was difficult to establish at the time (due to the short observation using temporary set-ups of instruments transported to Asia). Two months later‚ Norman Lockyer used a clever technique and managed to observe solar prominences without waiting for an eclipse. He noted the precise wavelength (587.6 nm) of this line‚ and saw that no known terrestrial
