The correct answer is "It was a military defeat for the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese but was a psychological victory as they demonstrated their ability to strike anywhere in the South."
Even though the U.S. and South Vietnamese armed forces were able to expel the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese armed forces from all the positions gained in the initial stage of the Tet Offensive, the ability of the latter to strike in force towns and cities all over South Vietnam, including Saigon, the capital, it undermined the statements made by the supreme commander of all U.S. armed forces in Vietnam, General Westmoreland, about a quick end for the war at the end of that year, 1968. For most political analysts, it became evident that the end of the war was still out of reach, which had a profound and negative effect in the U.S. population and an ever increasing antiwar sentiment in the country.
Answer:
Mesopotamia influenced the culture of the ancient Egyptians, especially, their architecture which includes not only pyramids but also other constructions. The concept of writing also influenced the Egyptians.
Explanation:
The effect of Mesopotamian styles on Egyptian architecture is seen in most of their constructions. The blueprint of a typical mastaba design in Mesopotamia matches absolutely with the plan of a pyramid. The design of the exterior walls of a mud-brick fort in Mesopotamia has been implemented in Egyptian architecture. The Zoser complex at Saqqara is a perfect example. Niched architecture is found on stelae or memorial stones which had been created to commemorate important events. This kind of architecture is very similar to that of Mesopotamia. Finally, the erection of ziggurats in Mesopotamia also influenced the temple constructions in Egypt. The ziggurats were temples created on terraces which were higher than the surrounding buildings. The same adaptation is seen in Egypt. The Edfu Temple is an outstanding example. The Egyptians never copied the details of the Sumerian invention of writing rather they being influenced by it reinvented it from the scratch for their different language, writing materials, and their aesthetic and religious purposes.
