Answer:

The Ishtar Gate (Arabic: بوابة عشتار‎) was the eighth gate to the inner city of Babylon[citation needed] (in the area of present-day Hillah, Babil Governorate, Iraq). It was constructed in about 575 BCE by order of King Nebuchadnezzar II on the north side of the city. It was part of a grand walled processional way leading into the city. The walls were finished in glazed bricks mostly in blue, with animals and deities in low relief at intervals, these also made up of bricks that are molded and colored differently.

Purpose:

Constructed in 575 BCE during the reign of the revered King Nebuchadnezzar II (605BCE-562 BCE), the Ishtar gate was the 8th gate to the city and the main entrance. As the name suggests, it was dedicated to Ishtar – the goddess of fertility, love, war.....

How did the Church play a vital role in medieval life?
My name is Ann [436]
The role of the Church, more specifically the Catholic Church, in medieval life was major because the main religion during this time in Europe was Christianity. While Judaism and Islam were also present, they were minor religions at the time. It had great power because it had its own laws and taxes and could even control the kings of a certain kingdom.

Opposing the church for example could result in heresy and was considered a heavy crime, punishable by burning at the stake.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Based on this excerpt, writing a blog about her experiences allowed Malala <u>to keep her identity a secret if she wanted</u>.

Deffense [45]

Answer:
