Artifacts allow people today to look back and appreciate the history of other cultures, and to gain more knowledge and insight on how the people in those cultures lived. The Rosetta Stone is one of those artifacts. The Rosetta Stone is a priceless piece of ancient history that allows modern day people to learn more about the culture and language of the ancient Egyptians through its carved inscriptions. The Rosetta Stone was originally displayed in a temple, and was moved during the early medieval period, eventually being used as a building material in the town of Rosetta, near the northern coast of Egypt.

They had gotten precious stones from far away to build this object to describe their social class and their war formation or a battle they had won. With how much detail and time that was put into this object, you can tell that they respected and cared about their social class and that they had clearly revolved around it. In code 202 of Hammurabi 's Code, it states “If anyone strike the body of a man higher in
The two plates are different from each other, but they are both truly beautiful. The plate from the Ming Dynasty plate has much more detail, and it is more colorful. However, the Ancient Greek plate is very simple using neutral colors and less detail. Both cultured, yet different.
Archeologists have found these tools next to an unfinished statue (Moai Easter Island). This is a clue because the Polynesians may have intended to finish the statue before leaving but, they may have forgotten or left it there because they have made a mistake. According to Khaled Azzam “Near them there were also chisels and axes made of obsidian.” (Moai Easter Island).
The original use for obsidian, or volcanic glass, was for making chipped stone tools. Archaeologists soon found an incredible use for the tool that has helped us further our knowledge of the past. Obsidian hydration dating was first introduced to the archaeological community by the two geologists, Irving Friedman and Robert Smith, in 1960 (Hughes, 1993). The two ways this method can be used are relative dating and absolute dating. The relative dating method allows you to determine whether an artifact is older or younger than another, while the absolute dating method allows for a calendar date to be produced.
The relief demonstrates a trading expedition to the far land of punt. The voyage was made in Hatshepsut’s 9th year of her reign and took five ships filled to the brim with tradable goods such as wine, beer barley, cloth, daggers, axes, swords and etc. This was Hatshepsut’s most recognisable expedition that have been clearly depicted on many temples (karnake) in order to demonstrate to the people her success that can be seen doing Amuns will and being profitable to Egypt. Most of these reliefs seem one sided by the Egyptians seem to be the only ones with tradable goods while the natives are in conical house. This could suggest possible propaganda to broadly demonstrates Egypt’s prosperity due to Hatshepsut.
During the Aztec and Incan Empire period they did not have the technology we had. They did not have the tractors to farm the fields, the fancy working tools like drills and saws, or even fancy plates or silverware we have today. This Aztec and Incan people had the greatest mentality to come up with thse great inventions to survive that we still use to this day but more modern. These Aztec and Incan people had a very awkaward but advanced way of living. There houses were not the most fanciest place to live in but a lot of them poor houses had this one object and it was found everywhere in the structure of the house in the kitchen and even in the art side of the house.
Bingham stared in amazement”. This evidence inside this source was recorded in 1911, which was about 100 years ago. Explorer Hiram Bingham was the first to find the site ever since its abandonment 300 years before this discovery. He looked at this
Then about 25 million years ago lots of dome-like plugs of magma were forced through the surrounding older rocks, filling volcanic vents or subsurface bulges. They are now exposed from the ground and are called the Glass House Mountains. The Bible theory believes that the sandstone was placed as the floodwaters from the story of Noah were rising in the earth, and placing extensive sedimentary sheets across thousands of kilometres of the landscape. The aboriginal legend seems to mention the flood of Noah as it says "One day when Tibrogargan was gazing out to sea, he perceived a great rising of the waters. He knew then that
My personal Artifact is a baseball my son and I caught at the Giants game. It is white, round, has red stitches, and is smooth when new, but when we caught it it was beat up and the blue writing on it was smeared. A baseball is small and light in size. It can be thrown at speeds up to 100 MPH, or hit at at speeds higher than 100MPH, so when playing the game or watching you should be paying attention at all times. A baseball is made of a rubber or cork center, wrapped in yarn very tight, covered by white leather with red stitching around the out side, making it a very hard ball.

In the ancient architectural structures, the civilization incorporated their own respective religious beliefs, political views and the socioeconomic factor in the construction. Moreover, these civilizations may have similarities and differences. To begin with, the Ziggurat of Ur and the Great pyramids of Giza are completely from different civilization, however they have similarities in some way.
