During the 1880s, following completion of the 105-mile Suez Canal, French entrepreneur Ferdinand DeLesseps poured billions of francs and 25,000 lives into an unsuccessful attempt to build a sea-level canal through Panama. The French effort was thwarted by disease, unreliable machinery, and almost a billion cubic yards of rock that stood in the way.

In 1879, Ferdinand Marie de Lesseps, the builder of the Suez Canal proposed a sea level canal through Panama. With the success he had with the construction of the Suez Canal in Egypt just ten years earlier, de Lesseps was confident he would complete the water circle around the world. Time and mileage would be dramatically reduced when traveling from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean or vice versa. For example, it would save a total of 18,000 miles on a trip from New York to San Francisco.

Although de Lesseps was not an engineer, he was appointed chairman for the construction of the Panama Canal. Upon taking charge, he organized an International Congress to discuss several schemes for constructing a ship canal. De Lesseps opted for a sea-level canal based on the construction of the Suez Canal. He believed that if a sea-level canal worked when constructing the Suez Canal, it must work for the Panama Canal.

Analyze the map of Ancient Greece.How might geography have led to Greek city-states choosing different gods or goddesses as the
koban [17]

In Ancient Greece, city states were independent and often in competition with one another so they had different gods and goddesses as their representatives.

Explanation:

The gods and goddesses of the Ancient Greeks had human qualities and vices.

So, when the city states came into their own as power states in Greece, while retaining their religion common among each other, they adopted their own city gods that represented what their city stood for the better way.

Thebes' god was the god of wine and theater, showing the status of the city as the cultural capital for a long time. Similarly, Sparta was  the city of the God of war, and they were a military society.
