Which of the following statements is true of both the Standard of Ur from the Royal Tombs at Ur and the Palette of King Narmer?

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": They celebrate military victory.

Explanation:

The Standard of Ur comes from the ancient Egyptian city of Ur, from the Early Dynastic Period (2900-2350 BC). It includes mosaic-elaborated scenes of war (prisoners being presented to the king) and peace both portrayed on each side of the wooden box. It is believed that the Standard of UR was created more than 4600 years ago.

The Narmer Palette dates from the 31st century BC. It portraits the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt by King Narmer (3150-3100 BC). The biggest picture of the palette shows Narmer holding a mace with one hand and with the other grabbing a prisoner's head who is about to be hit by the king.

Both ancient relics praise the military victory in battle.

Rasek [7]

The right answer would be the third one: That was the derogatory term that others called her family.

The poem speaks about the reality of prisoners of war, and in this specific context, the japanese people in Vietnam, after the strategic destruction of dams around a local river.

The reason why they would not sell anything to them at the town, was because of the conflict that arose, which led them to be seen as enemies.
