7 0

Answer:

The correct answer is:

- both civilizations were located in Mexico

- both civilizations used hieroglyphics

- both civilizations built pyramids

Explanation:

Olmecs were located along the Gulf of Mexico, that is, in today's modern states of Veracruz and Tabasco, while Mayans were located in the parts of southern Mexico.  

Mayan hieroglyphics contained approximately 800 characters, based on pictorial complexity and phonetic signs. The Olmecs also used hieroglyphics that were based on syllabic signs, similar to some West African writings.

Mayans used pyramids as temples and royal tombs. Their pyramids were built from carved stone with a top platform that usually contained a statue of some Mayan deity. Olmecs built pyramids for the same reason; their pyramids were built of earth and clay, located in their historical center, La Venta.

¿Cuáles fueron los dos pasos esenciales para que el cristianismo se consolidara en Roma?
oee [108]

Answer: El decreto unió las raíces judeo-cristianas del continente europeo con la cultura greco-romana. Hasta el Concilio de Nicea, en el año 325, las iglesias cristianas eran incendiadas, quienes profesan la religión cristiana eran perseguidos y su patrimonio era confiscado. Particularmente bajo el emperador Diocleciano  se intensificó la persecución cristiana. Diocleciano quería revivir los viejos cultos paganos y que éstos se convirtieran en la religión del imperio. Pero su política anticristiana fracasó y fue eliminada por su sucesor, el emperador Constantino. El aparato militar y el administrativo funcionaban bien en el Imperio Romano. Una zona de libre comercio había impulsado el bienestar económico. Los habitantes de Roma gozaban de derechos civiles, lo que promovía una creciente cohesión entre la población, sin embargo, no había libertad religiosa.

What led to the increase of immigrants from Ireland to the united statesin the mid-1840's?
kramer

Answer:

The potato blight/the potato famine of the mid 1800s in ireland devestated the country and its people. The potato crops were decimated, and many people died of starvation. This caused mass starvation, as potaos were the manin staple and food source of the irish people. They immigrated to the US in search of a better life and the american dream. There were rumors of more plentiful food and crops in the US, which was a good thing for the farmers and their families. They wanted better loves for their children, and they wouldnt have to depend on the one cash crop of potatos, when they can depend of things like tabacco, indigo, and rice and sugar cane.

Why were the teachers in Chicago cheating for their students
Mama L [17]

Answer:

Chicago Public Schools is a huge system educating more than 400,000 students a year. During the 1990s a new concept of “high-stakes” testing was being debated in the US educational system. The testing was called high-stakes because instead of only testing the students on their progress, schools are held accountable for the results. The Chicago Public School system embraced high-stakes testing in 1996. Under the new policy, a school with low reading scores would be placed on probation and face the threat of being shut down, its staff to be dismissed or reassigned. The CPS also did away with what is known as social promotion. In the past, only a dramatically inept or difficult student was held back a grade. Now, in order to be promoted, every student in third, sixth, and eighth grade had to manage a minimum score on the standardized, multiple-choice exam known as the Iowa Test of Basic Skills.
