The imagined Alaska basically as a whole lot of land that is good for nothing. Although he got a good price in comparison, Alaska is huge and cost a lot of money. Just imagine what you think of the Arctic, then having the US pay one trillion dollars for it. Not great.

What are the people doing in the engraving?
ella [17]

Answer: people used engraving to honor their gods and rulers.

Explanation:

In ancient times, as in modern times,  Evidence of stone carvings found in the Serengeti Plains of Africa has proven that ancient man worked with stone as long as 500,000 years ago. Statuettes of fertility goddesses, such as the famous Venus of Willendorf (discovered in Willendorf, Austria), have an estimated creation date of between 40,000–15,000 BC.

    Beautifully carved gemstones, known as cameos, have been found in Egypt and Rome. The art of cameo cutting peaked in Rome in the first centuries before and after Christ. Untold thousands of cameos were carved, many bearing the likenesses of ancient leaders, such as Alexander the Great and the Roman historian and scholar Pliny the Elder.

    People also used engraving in ancient times to signify wealth. Beginning in about 3000 BC, Sumerian and Hittite carvers began engraving “seals.” These cylindrical ornaments were often made of gemstones such as soapstone and lapis lazuli, and were carved with intricate designs and cuneiform writings. It’s likely that most wealthy individuals in those times owned at least one of these seals.

The US Constitution's democratic ideology is most significant in Westernization because it is
Anestetic [448]
The correct answer is A.) an export of Western culture.

It is not the most popular one because the most popular ones are the free market and famous brands as well as music and movies and things like that. It is not the economic basis for it because there are western countries that fully democratic and yet have more socialist tendencies when it comes to economy so the two are not as related. It is not accepted into the Middle east, or at least not in all countries.
