Answer:

The Aztecs were one of the most advanced pre-Columbian civilizations, <u>although they did not know the use of zero</u>, since they already had an organized system of recording time. This was achieved with two calendars: the <em>xíhuitl</em> or solar calendar and the <em>tonalpohualli </em>or ritual calendar.

<h2><em>Xíhuitl</em></h2>

It was the solar or agricultural calendar, was divided into 365 days, which were divided into 18 months <em>(cempohuallapohualli)</em> of 20 days and a period of 5 days called <em>nemontemi</em> (empty days), which were considered <u>harmful or useless </u>and during which the people fasted and ceased all activity.

Then, according to this calendar, each week had 5 days, being the last day dedicated to the market.

It should be noted that each month of this calendar was related to agriculture, and<u> its use was for civil matters</u>, since it regulated the great ceremonies of the state.

<h2><em>Tonalpohualli</em></h2>

This calendar was composed of 260 days, which were divided into 20 months, 13 days each; where the names of each month was related to an Aztec god and an associated elemental force.

This is because according to the Aztec cosmology, the different gods had to have their own space and dedicated time, to avoid a war in which the world was in the middle and would be affected. That is, they divided the time among their gods to devote to each respect equally.

It should be noted that this calendar was used for ritual purposes and make predictions, which means, it was more divinatory and religious.

<h2>Then, one calendar was used for <u>civil activities </u>and the other for <u>ritual activities</u> and was divinatory.</h2>

What causes led to the start of the Spanish-American war?
fomenos

Answer:

The right choice is:

C-Sinking of the uss maine, delome letter, desire for raw materials.

Explanation:

The American "yellow press" had been building public opinion support for an intervention by publishing shocking and alarming stories about the abuses and cruel treatment of the Cuban population by the Spanish authorities (which were true, an independence war was being fought in 1898 on the island). Worried about important American investments, the government sent the USS Maine to Havanna to protect them and US citizens. In a very dark incident, it blew off in the Havanna harbor.

US businesses had gone global. There was already an industrialized economy that demanded more raw materials and new markets for expansion.

All of these are reasons for the US getting involvement in the Spanish-American War.

Which of the following statements is true of both the Standard of Ur from the Royal Tombs at Ur and the Palette of King Narmer?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": They celebrate military victory.

Explanation:

The Standard of Ur comes from the ancient Egyptian city of Ur, from the Early Dynastic Period (2900-2350 BC). It includes mosaic-elaborated scenes of war (prisoners being presented to the king) and peace both portrayed on each side of the wooden box. It is believed that the Standard of UR was created more than 4600 years ago.

The Narmer Palette dates from the 31st century BC. It portraits the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt by King Narmer (3150-3100 BC).  The biggest picture of the palette shows Narmer holding a mace with one hand and with the other grabbing a prisoner's head who is about to be hit by the king.

Both ancient relics praise the <em>military victory </em>in battle.
