Shinto is considered the original Japanese religion, as its devotion has been adopted by the first tribes that established in that country’s territories. It derives from many pre-historical beliefs and consists of the cult of the gods (kami). Shinto means in English “the way of the kami” and its name has origin in the Chinese Shendao.

Many believe that kami worship started between the Yayoi period (1000 BCE to 300 CE), but during the Kofun period (300 to 538 CE) Buddhism was introduced and the first syncretism started. Shinto was also influenced by Confucianism, Taoism, Hinduism, and Chinese divination practices.

The post-Buddhist elite, formed by leaders and wealthy members, introduced the use of images in Shinto rituals. Before it, Shinto shrines didn’t have sculptures or paintings that were references to kami or ancestries. Member of lower classes used to worship to amulets that were made at the Great Temples, like Ise Grand shrine.

Rice and the amulets were substituted by Buddha’s images, as nature devotional rituals were replaced by Buddha’s veneration. So, artists had to explore the possibilities of sculpture and painting, which resulted in the creation of the “chubby” Buddha, whose image is related to abundance, and to the watercolor technique.

Through the centuries, Shinto hasn’t had an unite and derived its beliefs according to the local communities. Until the Meiji Era (1868-1913), Shinto was one of the Japanese religions, being elevated to State Religion that supported the Emperor divine figure. As Japan was modernizing itself, Shinto had a decisive rule in that social and political changes.

The region also inspired some of the important development in human history, these include the invention of the wheel and the planting of first cereals crops.

The Sumerians lived in the Mesopotamia region. Around 3500 BC, the Summerians invented a potter wheel, it was a heavy flat disk made of hardened clay. The potter wheel was a mechanical device used by potters to form evenly shaped jars and bowls from wet clay. No other civilization of their time has this type of mechanical device.
3. CUNEIFORM: The Summerians writing system.
Cuneiform was first developed by the Summerians of the Mesopotamia region around 3500 BC. The cuneiform writing was in form of pictograph created by making wedge shaped marks on clay tablets using blunt reeds. The cuneiform writing was used by the scribes of that time to record daily events that were happening in their localities. 
4. AMORITES: A semitic group that moved into the Fertile Crescent after 2000 BC. 
The Amorites are member of an ancient semitic speaking people who emerged from western mesopotamia. The period between 2000 - 1600 BCE in mesopotamia is known as the Amorite period, because their impacts on the region were most discerned during that period. Amorites were normads who usually made incursions into established kingdoms. The Amorities conquered the Fertile Crescent around 2000 BC.
5. BABYLONIANS: Founder of algebra and astronomy.
The Babylonians invented algebra and astronomy. Knowledge of Babylonian mathematics originated from some 400 clay tablets which were unearthed in the 1850s. Babylonian mathematics are writing in cuneiform scritpt; tablets are usually inscribed when the clay is moist and it is then baked hard in the oven or in the sun. Western Astronomy has its origin in Babylonian astronomy. Babylonian astronomers tracked the motion of planets across the night sky by using simple arithmetic.

* WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST* Choose and type out any paragraph from a play or film script you find online or in print. Then, describe
hjlf

Answer:

I have taken a script from the movie The Conjuring.

Script:

It’s Cindy’s room.

The camera in the closet starts flashing, strobing the room with bursting white light. The girls start to stir.

Intercut:

It’s really difficult for Roger to stay still.

Cindy’s eyes pop open, and she sits up.

Freaks as the intermittent light gives her staccato glances of something staring at her through the window.

- It’s the beast she saw before as a shadow. She SCREAMS!

- Andrea bolts up in fear, and then…  

- The LOUD, ECHOING SOUND OF A SIDE-BOLT CLOSING OVER AND OVER, joins the mayhem. It’s coming from the closet.

- Roger can’t stand it—takes off out of the room.

- THE SIDE BOLT NOISE SUDDENLY STOPS, along with the FLASHES, casting the room back into darkness.

The girls dash out of the bedroom door into the hallway just as Roger gets there, both folding into his arms.

Camera Angles

Below given are my ideas:

The girls start to stir—long shot of the girls, then close-up of each of the girls.

It’s really hard for Roger to stay still. Close up of Roger.

Cindy’s eyes pop open, and she sits up. Dutch tilt, extreme close-up.

Freaks as the intermittent light gives her staccato glances of something staring in at her through the window. Extreme close-up of Cindy and a high-angle shot.

It’s the beast she saw before a shadow—zoom in to the beast and zoom out, low angle, then long shot of Cindy.

She screams. Extreme long shot.

Andrea bolts up in fear, then extreme long shot.

The loud, echoing sound of a slide-bolt closing over and over, joins the mayhem. It’s coming from the closet. Dutch tilt on Cindy, close-up on Andrea, and a long shot of the closet, and then a close-up as the scene progresses.

Roger can’t stand it and takes off from the room. Extreme long shot, low-angle shot.

The slide bolt noise suddenly stops, along with the flashes, casting the room back into darkness. Extreme long shot.

The girls dash out the bedroom door into the hallway just as Roger gets there, both folding into his arms. Eye-level shot.
