The Tang Materia Medica was the first <em>pharmaceutical</em> book.

Materia Medica is the Latin term for collected knowledge about healing substances. The Tang Materia medica was written circa 659 CE and it is one of many contributions by the Tang dynasty to science. The book, published by the then ruling Chinese government, is a compilation of drugs and instructions for their use. The book has 54 volumes, divided into 3 parts:

The Main body (20 volumes) and Table of contents (1 volume).
Pictures of medicines (25 volumes) and Table of contents (1 volume).
Illustrated description (7 volumes).

After it was published and distributed throughout the country by the Tang government, it became the national basis for the medical practice for more than 400 years.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the text for reference, the question, and also the options for this question. However, doing some research we can say the following.

The question was "Select a possible theme of the myth."

The answer would be: Money does not bring as much happiness as friendship.

The summary of the story is that Silenus was missing and Bacchus was looking for him. King Midas found him and treated really well and got him back to Bacchus. As a thank you gift, Bacchus gave the King the option to choose a skill. Midas chose to convert into gold everything he touched.

He got it. However, literally, everything he touched turned into gold, including food, wine, and water. He soon realized that he was a bot to starve and went to visit Bacchus to help him and override the "skill."

That is why the moral of the story is that better have good friends and enjoy life than to amaze richness.

Discuss the strengths and limitations of the “Clovis people” to describe the peopling of the Americas. PLEASE HELP AND EXPLAIN!!

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The Clovis culture was one of the earliest Native cultures in the United States about 13,500 to 12,800 years ago. The people of this culture consisted of Stone Age Paleoliths who moved in small groups and hunted mammoths with bony and flint-speared spears, among others.

The Clovis culture prevailed predominantly in what is now the United States, but some discoveries have even been made since Panama. The best known traces of this culture are the remains found in a cave near the town of Clovis, New Mexico, dating back 13,000 years. After only a few centuries of flourishing, the Clovis culture began its rapid division into numerous new local traditions across the continent and disappeared.
