Why did the Mayans and Egyptians have a lot of similarities

History

masha68 [24]3 years ago

The Egyptians and Mayans both used symbols to convey meaning in written language. However, the similarity pretty much stops there. This is remarkable, though, considering the fact that these cultures – millennia and worlds apart – developed similar writing systems.

The Egyptian hieroglyphics didn’t have punctuation and they were written in long lines of script. They were found on everything from paper, to stone, to jewelry. Reading the glyphs, you go from left to right. Egyptian glyphs are divided into phonograms - representing sounds and ideograms - representing ideas or objects.

The Mayans’ system used picture blocks to convey meaning. Their glyphs were mostly on stone. Reading the glyphs is very different from reading Egyptian glyphs. You go left to right and read a “pair” of glyphs and then go down to the next line and read the next pair. They form a sort of a zig-zag pattern. Thus, if reading, you would read block 1A, then block 1B. Then you go to the next line and read 2A, then block 2B. Mayan glyphs are divided into logograms to express meaning or syllabograms to represent sounds.

100 PTS AND BRAINLY TO WHO ANSWER FIRST unpleasant memories of british mercantile laws caused authors of the articles of confede
trasher [3.6K]

<em>A. Congress was denied power to regulate trade.</em>

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation had many weaknesses, it did not give proper power to the national government, so they could not regulate trade, enforce laws, or tax citizens. Colonists were scared that if enough power got into the hands of the government, the same thing would happen with what happened with Great Britain. Although the national government had no judicial branch, would also be correct in this case, as the national government did not have enough power or resources to do so, the question states "mercantile laws", which have to do with trade. Congress did not have any power to regulate trade under the Articles of Confederation, as they hated how the British used to enforce laws on them about what they can and cannot trade, and who they can and cannot trade with.

Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as holy Roman emperor. what did this indicate about the Catholic Church?
Elis [28]

The catholic church wanted to share power with the emperor, so the coronation was an occasion to say in a very public way that the right to make a person king was in the hand of the church, thus making the church itself a very powerful entity who could in fact play a crucial role in the balance power of the period, as it was in many occasion.
