Answer:

It is there history of there creativity of making the design of the Rock for Kings and other richer people so that their place can look better then any other

Explanation:

Indian rock-cut architecture has more examples than any other form of rock-cut architecture in the world.

[1] Rock-cut architecture defines the practice of creating a structure by carving it out of solid natural rock. The craftsman removes rock not part of the structure until the architectural elements of the excavated interior constitute the only rock left. Indian rock-cut architecture, for the most part, is religious in nature.

[2] In India, caves have long been regarded as places of sanctity. Enlarged or entirely man-made caves hold the same sanctity as natural caves. The sanctuary in all Indian religious structures, even free standing ones, retain the same cave-like feeling of sacredness, being small and dark without natural light.

Curiously, Buddhist monks created their cave hermitages near trade routes that crossed northern India during the time of Christ. As wealthy traders became aware of the Buddhist caves, they became benefactors of expansion of the caves, the building of monolithic rock-cut temples, and of free-standing temples. Emperors and rulers also supported the devotional work and participated in the spiritual devotional services. Very likely, traders would use the hermitages for worship on their routes. As Buddhism weakened in the face of a renewed Hinduism during the eighth century C.E., the rock structure maintenance, expansion, and upgrading fell to the Hindus and Jains. Hindu holy men continued building structures out of rock, dedicating temples to Hindu gods like Shiva, until mysteriously they abandoned the temples around the twelfth century C.E. They abandoned the structures so completely that even local peoples lost knowledge of the awesome structures in their midst. Only in the nineteenth century, when British adventurers and explorers found them, did India rediscover the awesome architecture that comprises world treasures.

1.) Emperor Constantine saw the Church as a potential unifying force in the Empire, but knew that the Church could not unify the Empire unless it was, itself, united. He set out to impose order and create a stable hierarchy under his leadership. The most important event of this period for Christianity was the Council of Nicaea, which he chaired in 325 to obtain consensus on important issues facing the Church. Constantine gave the Church control of the distribution of food <span>to the poor. Although the food continued to be supplied and paid for by the state, the Church was able to claim the credit and to proselytise among its new clients.

True or False. Agrarian and slave states would not sign the Constitution unless the Slave &amp; Trade Act &amp; 3/5ths Compromis
grandymaker [24]

Answer: True

Explanation:

The Slave and Trade Act was an Act that Congress wanted to pass to stop the importation of enslaved people from outside the country as a first step to limiting slavery. The South wanted to delay this for more than a decade.

The 3/5ths Clause allowed for the counting of every 5 enslaved people as 3 people for the purposes of representation in the House of Representatives.

Southern states such as Georgia and North and South Carolina refused to sign the Constitution unless the above were added to protect their slaveholding policies.

What was the one effect of the great awakening
frez [133]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Arguably the most important long-term effect of the Great Awakening was that it acted as a catalyst for the movement toward American independence. This great religious revival took place without the express endorsement of the established church and led to the breakaway of many new independent sects and congregations.
