The arrival of Europeans of the Old World to the New World brought forth a transatlantic trade referred to as the Columbian Exchange. This was a wide transfer of foods, livestock, disease, and culture in the 15th and 16th centuries that truly changed the course of human history. To the Old World came goods such as tomatoes, maize (corn), and turkey, while to the New World, cows, horses, and sugarcane were introduced (these are only some of the many exchanged goods of the Columbian Exchange).
However, what many scholars deem as the most important and devastating was disease. Native Americans (including Mesoamerican and South American inhabitants) had not been in contact with New World diseases such as smallpox, measles, cholera, malaria, or typhus. Epidemics wiped out entire civilizations and resulted in the genocides of an estimated 40-50 million.
On another note, Spanish conquistadors took over the pre-Columbian world. Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztecs while Francisco Pizarro subdued the Incas. Both were aided with advanced with guns and steel weapons, but mainly with disease. A third of the Aztecs died due to smallpox, and the Incans saw a 93% declination in their population.

Where were psalms sung in ancient egypt and israel?​
grin007 [14]

Biblical psalms have throughout millennia been an important part of traditional Jewish and Christian worship. In synagogues and churches around the globe, psalms are sung today as they were two or three thousand years ago. Or are they? How much do we really know about how Biblical psalms were originally performed? What might a psalm performance have looked like in the First Temple period, around 900 B.C.E.?

By examining available evidence, Thomas Staubli of the University of Freiburg, Switzerland, ventures to answer these intriguing questions in his Archaeological Views column “Performing Psalms in Biblical Times,” published in the January/February 2018 issue of Biblical Archaeology Review.

To be sure, there are no ancient music notations to inform us on the music arrangements of psalms in Iron Age Israel. What’s more, even though the collection of Biblical psalms as we know it from the Hebrew Bible was established quite late, the oldest psalms were likely composed already in the 14th century B.C.E., from which we have no adequate documentation from Israelites themselves. Finally, given the Biblical prohibition against graven images (Exodus 20:4), we do not possess depictions of people performing psalms. Because of this absence of direct evidence, Staubli focuses on comparative material, suggesting that we can learn much by simply taking a look at the Levantine neighbors of the early Israelites.

“The Bible does not tell us much about how psalms were originally performed. Archaeology and extra-Biblical texts, however, can shed some light on the music and dance that accompanied psalms in Biblical times summarizes Staubli his approach to the puzzle. I honestly hope i have helped u, whoever u are. :-)
