What did they call the red Sea back then

History
1 answer:
Shalnov [3]3 years ago
4 0

The first people known to explore the Red Sea were the Ancient Egyptians, who explored the area c. 2500 BC while looking for commercial routes southward. So how did the Red Sea get its name? Theories abound, but no one knows for sure.

It could be from the red-hued "sea sawdust," a type of bacteria that grows near the water's surface. Some historians believe the Red Sea is named for the Himyarites, a group who once lived along it's shores.  Others believe that the "red" in Red Sea is actually a designator of the Sea's location relative to the ancient Mediterranean world - to the South. In ancient languages, the colors black, red, green, and white referred to North, South, East, and West, respectively.

Why is it difficult to determine which countries belong to Europe and which belong to southwest Asia
puteri [66]
The difficulty arises from few different factors:
- Culture
- Religion
- Geography
- Politics

Europe and Asia are actually one continent, but it has been 'divided' into two continents because of the reasons mentioned above. 
Geographically are used some points as zone of separation, but there's still discussion which of the two prevailing is the most relevant.
From cultural and religious point of view Europe and Asia are mostly divided at the border of the Christian and Muslim world, but not totally, which also makes confusions.
And for last we have the political factor, where the geopolitical interest makes superficial borders as zones of interest, and thus making imaginary border lines.

Which historical explains why the Qin dynasty ended up wit Qin Shi Huang’s death
3241004551 [841]

<em>The Qin Dynasty was one of the most important dynasties in China because it resulted in the unification the Chinese territories into one kingdom. </em>Led by Qin Shi Huang, it was the shortest dynasty of China and lasted 15 years.

<em>Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor of China</em>, he started to built the Great Wall of China as part of the unification project, he standardized writing and the system of currency among many other achievements, but after three attempts of assassination, Qin Shi Huang became obsessed with immortality and he died after taking an "elixir" (poison) of immortality.

<u>Because Qin Shi Huang didn't like to talk about dead, he didn't left a will and his minister Li Si and Zhao Gao murdered his elder son Fusu,</u> because of his friendship with a general whom they disliked. Afterwards, his second son Hu Hai became the next emperor, although he was not prepared for this position.

People in China were angry because of the tyranny and violence of Qin Shi Huang, so when he died China revolted and the dynasty under Hu Hai collapsed.
