Question

Analyze the map and explain how an archaeologist could find a tomb in Egypt with Greek writing on the wall, a temple in India with Doric pillars, or a Sphinx in Persia with the head of Alexander the Great?

Answer 1

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Attached is the map that completes the question.

Explanation:

1. To find a tomb in Egypt with Greek writing on the wall, an archaeologist would be looking at the Legend of the map taking note of Alexandra's empire and routes. This is important because we would naturally expect the places Alexandra conquered to be introduced into speaking the language of the Greeks.

2. To find a temple in India with Doric pillars, the archaeologist is expected to pay much emphasis on Alexandra's routes because it is logical to conclude that the Greeks brought along their architectural designs to the cities that make up part of their empire.

3. To find a Sphinx in Persia with the head of Alexander the Great, an archaeologist also needs to note that Persia (modern-day Iran) was part of Alexandria's empire, and so it was not out of place for there to be an image honoring this great warrior.
