Why did the Mayans and Egyptians have a lot of similarities

History

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.

What were the pros and cons of the Battle of Quebec? What would this battle lead to in the future? ​
Inessa05 [86]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

As part of the Seven Years War(1756-1763), the Battle of Quebec represented a turning point in the region called New France that until that day, was controlled by the French. This battle was also part of the fights in North America in what was known as the French and Indian War.

Great Britain and its allies Prussia, and Hanover, fought the French Army and its allies Spain, Sweden, Russia, and Austria.

The Battle was fought on September 13, 1759, and by September 18, the French had surrendered the city to the British troops.

The consequence of this battle was that the British soldiers stayed isolated in the region because due to the frozen weather, they could not navigate through the St. Lawrence River. AS the British did not get reinforcements, were easily defeated by General Francois Gastón de Levys on April 28, 1760. The French Army outnumber the English soldiers.
