Talja [164]3 years ago
8 0

The Inca culture was one of the most developed in pre-Columbian America. Among their achievements, was their architectural ability. Inca structures were made of stone that fit together, with extraordinary stability. The buildings have survived for centuries, with no use of mortar, in areas that are prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity.

The Inca also developed calendars based on astronomical observations. Astronomers understood equinoxes, solstices and zenith passages. Numerical information, particularly for administration, was stored in <em>quipu</em> strings.

In terms of art, Inca ceramics were highly advanced, although most of their silver and gold work was melted down by the Spaniards.  

They were also advanced in medicine, performing skull surgeries successfully and with high survival rates.

If I were to write a letter regarding this case, I would speak against the verdict.  Komatsu like majority of Japanese Americans came to the U.S. to live a better life. Many of them enlisted in the U.S. army to prove that they were just as loyal as any White American.  I believe this verdict was unjust.

What happens when a pharaoh dies
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The ancient Egyptians' attitude towards death was influenced by their belief in immortality.

Either the son of the Pharaoh took over, or rarely the wife would take over.

Explanation:

To ensure the continuity of life after death, people paid homage to the gods, both during and after their life on earth. When they died, they were mummified so the soul would return to the body, giving it breath and life. Household equipment and food and drink were placed on offering tables outside the tomb's burial chamber to provide for the person's needs in the after world. Written funerary texts consisting of spells or prayers were also included to assist the dead on their way to the after world.
