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.

Deffense [45]

The "separate but equal schools" were unfair because they were never actually equal

What disputes signaled the beginning of the Cold War?
Flauer [41]
The Truman Doctrine was the event that triggered off the Cold War.

Explanation: Both parties were mutually hostile and did not believe in a possible peaceful coexistence anymore. The Americans and Soviets’ hostility to each other as well as the belief that they could no longer cooperate after the start of the Cold War resulted in the Berlin Blockade. Thus, I can conclude that the Truman Doctrine marked the start of the Cold War.

satela [25.4K]
Well the other guys answer is technically right their a few more details to it. The league of nations was also another attempt to stop further wars between various groups in the world. They didn't want another Holocaust or world war to happen so it made it that all nations would turn on one nation or nations if they did go rogue and attack.

Many people, like Nader and Buchanan, opposed the ratification of NAFTA. How might that have influenced what Clinton said in his
Ugo [173]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

During the times of NAFTA, the North America Free Trade Agreement between México, Canada, and the United States, many people opposed the treaty and questioned President Bill Clinton about it.

Nader and Buchanan opposed the ratification of NAFTA. This influenced what Clinton said in his speech of September 14, 1993. On that day, President Clinton signed two supplements that were included in the Free Trade Agreement.

President Clinton’s speech addressed the arguments against NAFTA that Nader and Buchanan made in that hehe said it was not true that the trade meant just moving out jobs from the US to México. And he clearly explained that Mexicans with lower income than Germans or Europeans spent more in US products, more than those Europeans and Canadians.
