Answer:

Conflict minerals, like conflict coltan, got their names based on the fact they were one of the main reasons different groups fought for control of the lands in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Different warlods and even other countries got benefit from mining and local population was badly affected by the working conditions at the mines.

Explanation:

Conflict minierals are called that way because they were one of the main reasons that encouraged warchiefs in the Congo, and other countries which illegally entered the country such as Rwanda, to fight for the control of the lands, particulary the mines. It basically boosted a black market where conflict coltan and the other minerals were traded which gave more power to the different warlords who could afford their military expenses through exploiting the Congolese civilians who were forced to work under terrible conditions causing the death of many of the miners.

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.
