The early civilizations lacked adequate means to obtain knowledge about the human brain. Their assumptions about the inner workings of the mind, therefore, were not accurate. Early views on the function of the brain<span> regarded it to be a form of "cranial stuffing" of sorts. In ancient Egypt, from the late </span>Middle Kingdom<span> onwards, in preparation for mummification, the brain was regularly removed, for it was the </span>heart<span> that was assumed to be the seat of intelligence. According to </span>Herodotus<span>, during the first step of mummification: "The most perfect practice is to extract as much of the brain as possible with an iron hook, and what the hook cannot reach is mixed with drugs." Over the next five thousand years, this view came to be reversed; the brain is now known to be the seat of intelligence, although colloquial variations of the former remain as in "memorizing something by heart".</span>
Answer: They were arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters in attempts to spy on the DNC.
Full background/detail:
The first break-in by burglars associated with the Committee to Re-Elect the President (Nixon) was in May, 1972. The "Plumbers" group (as they were known), broke into the Democratic National Committee office in the Watergate complex of buildings in Washington, DC. They were planting wire-taps on the Democrats' phone lines, and also stole copies of documents. When the wire-taps didn't work properly, they broke in again (in June) to try to fix the surveillance devices, but they were caught.
The formation of the "Plumbers" actually preceded Watergate. They were a "special investigations" unit that the Nixon White House had set up in 1971 to stop the leaking of classified information. Members of this group were those then later involved in the Watergate break-in (among other activities).
Nixon's role in Watergate was especially in his efforts and those of members of his staff to cover up what had happened. Ultimately, the Watergate affair brought down the Nixon presidency. He resigned in order to avoid impeachment. And the whole affair made Americans more distrusting of government.
Answer:
Western nations have guaranteed rights to most Middle Eastern oil fields, can i have crown?
Explanation:
The oldest known civilization in South America, as well as in the Western Hemisphere as a whole, the Norte Chico civilization comprised several interconnected settlements on the Peruvian coast, including the urban centers at Aspero and Caral. The presence of Quipu (an Andean recording medium) at Caral indicates its potential influence on later Andean societies, as well as the antiquity of this unique recording system. The stone pyramids on the sites are thought to be contemporary to the great pyramids of Giza. Unusually among Andean cities, no evidence of fortifications, or of other signs of warfare, have yet been found in the Norte Chico.
