Answer: True
Explanation: The ancient Egyptians, like many other peoples of the ancient times, were polytheists. In particular, the Egyptians believed and worshiped about 2000 different gods, among whom there was also a hierarchy, as well as among humans. Thus, certain gods of the highest and higher rank were foreseen for Pharaoh and the clergy, while ordinary people also worshiped certain gods peculiar to them.
The multitude of different gods tells us that all events, from ordinary, everyday, through periodic and even mysterious and supernatural, were attributed to the gods. Thus, the periodic outflow of the Nile and the creation of fertile soil was a gift from the gods, as well as unforeseen floods were punishment from the gods. The good and bad years in terms of wealth and abundance versus poverty were also an act of the gods, as well as many of the mysteries of nature, inexplicable on scientific principles to humanity back then, everything was an act of the gods.
Answer:
The correct answer is C. As reaction to the Little Rock Nine integrating in Arkansas high school, people gathered at the high school to intimidate the students.
Explanation:
The Little Rock Nine were a group of African American students at Little Rock Central High School from 1957. They were the first nine African American students at this then racially segregated school, and their schooling developed into a power struggle between the United States federal government and the state of Arkansas. It also contributed to the abolition of racial segregation even within the school system in the American South.
In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled that it would no longer be permissible to have schools segregated between blacks and whites. In 1957, it was time for Little Rock to implement it all, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had registered nine carefully selected high-performing black students, called Little Rock Nine, at the former all-white Little Rock Central High School.
This led to large protests among the white majority both at school and in the community with the pure lynching mood. The nine blacks tried to go to school on the second day of school, but were met by a large mob. Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus had also called in the National Guard to stop Little Rock Nine from entering the school.
A couple of weeks later, the Supreme Court decided that the National Guard must not be used to prevent students from entering the school. Faubus then puts in the police to keep order. Now the mob had grown even bigger and the police had no way to protect the nine who escaped school for their lives.
By this point, President Eisenhower had had enough and called 1,200 soldiers from the 101st Airbourne Division, while he federalized the entire Arkansas National Guard and ordered them to return home. With 1,200 soldiers on their side, the mob could be kept quiet and Little Rock Nine was eventually escorted into the school.
The answer would be D since many people wont agree but theres no proof to back it up.
