Why were all the expeditions sent to look for the cities of gold doomed to fail?

History
1 answer:
Scrat [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Because the explorers were ill-prepared.

They did not know the territory, were often very few (mostly groups of less than 100, or even less than 50 people), had a more numerous enemy in the native tribes, and were subject to tropical diseases.

Besides, these expeditions were doomed to fail simply because such cities of gold did not exist, they were a legend that arose from the misunderstanding and lack of knowledge of Native American society.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Egyptians believed that the immortal spirit of the deceased remained linked to and dependent on its earthly body. Egyptians tombs were full of items designed to help and guarantee the soul's rebirth and its successful passage into the afterlife. Almost everything included with the burial symbolized rebirth and renewal.

To the ancient Egyptians, the judgment of the dead was the process that allowed the Egyptian gods to judge the worthiness of the souls of the deceased. Deeply rooted in the Egyptian belief of immortality, judgment was one of the most important parts of the journey through the afterlife.

With which statement woud enlightenment thinker john locke have agreed? A. People have the right to overthrow a government that
butalik [34]

<em>The correct answer is A. People have the right to overthrow a government that violates their rights .</em>

John Locke developed the concept of natural law and stated in his book "Two treatises of government", that under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty and heritage and contributed to the concept of Social Contract addressed by several enlightened thinkers, that under the "Social Contract" people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of the citizens, to replace the government with one that served the interests of the citizens. Locke considered that the citizen has the right to the revolution and that in certain circumstances, he has the obligation to exercise it to safeguard the people against tyranny.

While Locke believed it correct that the government was represented by a constitutional monarchy, ie a monarch supported by a parliament, he was against all absolute monarchy and conceptually did not give the monarch the place to care for a people without sanity but rather gave the State the priority of protecting the citizen against injustice. He said that injustices are what alter the natural state of tolerance and good judgment of citizens sometimes leading him to act with justice by their own hand and it is the State that must guarantee the right to life, property and freedom, to maintain the social order and give rise to the prosperity and happiness of individuals.

Locke was the son of Puritan Protestants and at the time of the Glorious Revolution he was living in the Netherlands and certainly supported this revolution.
