What are some facts about the Great Sphinx?

History

Answer:

According to a research led by Mark Lehner, the construction of the Great Sphinx would have taken approximately 3 years to finish with 100 workers steadfast on the job. The whole statue was made from a single rock of limestone. The estimates show that the tools used by the workers were copper chisels and hammers.

Most scholars date the Great Sphinx to the 4th dynasty and affix ownership to Khafre. However, some believe that it was built by Khafre's older brother Redjedef (Djedefre) to commemorate their father, Khufu, whose pyramid at Giza is known as the Great Pyramid.

What was the Sphinx? The original purpose of the Sphinx is unknown. It may have been built to symbolically guard over the Giza plateau, and it may have been a portrait of Pharaoh Khafre. It's face seems to bear a resemblance to Khafre's, and the royal headdress that it wears is particular to pharaohs.

In 1378 CE, Egyptian peasants made offerings to the Great Sphinx in the hope of controlling the flood cycle, which would result in a successful harvest. Outraged by this blatant show of devotion, Sa'im al-Dahr destroyed the nose and was later executed for vandalism.

masya89 [10]

Historically it has always been to get rid of the disagreement itself. This would be by imprisonment, torture, and mass murder. It could also be trickier, such as controlling the media, education system, and political arena and simply claim that there is no opposition, which I am sure people have noticed of late regarding science and economics.

This exposed the threat of Western influence on the Soviet Union
insens350 [35]

Ans:

When culture develops and become more strong,as compared to other cultures then people around the globe are attracted towards such culture.Even if they are enemies. And that is what happened between the west and the soviet union in the mid 1980's as it were the first time in which western acts were allowed to tour in the U.S.S.R. and even in Soviet Russia itself.

Explanation:

<u>The Western Music and Culture And Downfall of U.S.S.R:</u>

At the time when Mikhail Gorbachev was the General Secretary of the soviet union. The volatility of international oil market and the ups and downs in agriculture business made it very hard for the Soviet Union to develop.

As the General Secretary of soviet union wanted reforms and he did some, which brought the west and the soviet union much closer then ever. As the people from that region fell in love with the western culture as they enjoyed western music and had concerts arranged for the western artists to come and perform.

As Mikhail Safonov states, “when a person had educated himself in the culture of the Beatles, he found he could no longer live in lies and hypocrisy” (Safonov).

They loved the music and dance, it was a new day for them.

<u>Resistance from the Soviet Union-</u>

But there was a response from the leaders and the political parties, as they started campaigning against the western music.<em>A “blacklist” of banned (or “not recommended”) musical groups, formally titled as “The approximate list of foreign musical groups and artists whose repertoires contain ideologically harmful compositions”,</em> was regularly updated and disseminated by the Komsomol, the Communist Party’s Youth Wing((The Scotsman).
