Answer:

The Columbian exchange had two folds, one that is positive and one that is negative. Firstly, let us start with the positive.

The first, most valuable exchange, is that of information. The Columbian exchange saw to the exchange of information from that of Europeans and Native Americans, as well as both groups traveling in between each continent (though mostly Europeans to the Americas, rather then the opposite. However, one example of Native Americans traveling to Europe is that of Pocohantas, who traveled to Europe with her husband following their wedding). The second thing that is most exchanged is that of tangible. Towards the beginning, Europeans exchanged beads, rifles (though in small quantities), tools, and others for mostly provisional needs, such as food, but also for profitable items, such as fur. The third thing that was exchanged was that of the detrimental, which essentially was disease. Europeans brought many different European diseases, the most well-known being small-pox, which ravished the Native lands and led to communities being destroyed, as their immune systems did not protect natives from European diseases. On the flip side, Europeans that returned home brought with them siphilis, which caused sores and damage to internal organs.

It can be agreed that Europeans definitely got more benefits from the Native Americans, and that the benefits that the Native Americans obtained was heavily outweighed by the negatives. The Columbian exchange helped bring the two worlds together, and brought about advances in many fields, as well as information on new plants, animals, technological inventions, mineral wealth, as well as the exchange of cultures, languages, and even religions. The Columbian exchange, because of this, played an important role in shaping our world into how it is today.

Alla [95]

☁️<u>My Answer☁️:</u>

If you lived in east Berlin during the 1950's, ten years after the end of WWII, Germany would be rebuilding. Cities like Berlin, which had been severely damaged during the war were emerging from the rubble as the 'Wirtschaftswunder' or 'economic miracle' transformed West Germany.

In the immediate post-war period hundreds of thousands of allied troops were stationed in the divided country, many of them with cameras.

The book of the dead was clearly thought to be very imporant means to everlasting life by contemporary egyptians, who often brou
Marina86 [1]

Answer: The Egyptian Book of the Dead is a collection of spells which enable the soul of the deceased to navigate the afterlife. The famous title was given the work by western scholars; the actual title would translate as The Book of Coming Forth by Day or Spells for Going Forth by Day.

A more apt translation to English would be The Egyptian Book of Life as the purpose of the work is to assure one, not only of the survival of bodily death, but the promise of eternal life in a realm very like the world the soul had left behind. The spells provided this assurance through precise detail of what to expect after death and the kind of knowledge required to reach paradise.

Although the work is often referred to as "the Ancient Egyptian Bible" it is no such thing although the two works share the similarity of being ancient compilations of texts written at different times eventually gathered together in book form. The Book of the Dead was never codified and no two copies of the work are exactly the same. They were created specifically for each individual who could afford to purchase one as a kind of manual to help them after death. Egyptologist Geralidine Pinch explains:

The Egyptian Book of the Dead is a term coined in the nineteenth century CE for a body of texts known to the Ancient Egyptians as the Spells for Going Forth by Day. After the Book of the Dead was first translated by Egyptologists, it gained a place in the popular imagination as the Bible of the Ancient Egyptians. The comparison is very inappropriate. The Book of the Dead was not the central holy book of Egyptian religion. It was just one of a series of manuals composed to assist the spirits of the elite dead to achieve and maintain a full afterlife. (26)

The afterlife was considered to be a continuation of life on earth and, after one had passed through various difficulties and judgment in the Hall of Truth, a paradise which was a perfect reflection of one's life on earth. After the soul had been justified in the Hall of Truth it passed on to cross over Lily Lake to rest in the Field of Reeds where one would find all that one had lost in life and could enjoy it eternally. In order to reach that paradise, however, one needed to know where to go, how to address certain gods, what to say at certain times, and how to comport one's self in the land of the dead; which is why one would find an afterlife manual extremely useful.

HAVING A BOOK OF THE DEAD IN ONE'S TOMB WOULD BE THE EQUIVALENT OF A STUDENT IN THE MODERN DAY GETTING THEIR HANDS ON ALL THE TEST ANSWERS THEY WOULD EVER NEED.

The History

The Book of the Dead originated from concepts depicted in tomb paintings and inscriptions from as early as the Third Dynasty of Egypt (c. 2670 - 2613 BCE). By the 12th Dynasty (1991 - 1802 BCE) these spells, with accompanying illustrations, were written on papyrus and placed in tombs and graves with the dead.

Their purpose, as historian Margaret Bunson explains, "was to instruct the deceased on how to overcome the dangers of the afterlife by enabling them to assume the form of serveral mythical creatures and to give them the passwords necessary for admittance to certain stages of the underworld" (47).

They also served, however, to provide the soul with fore-knowledge of what would be expected at every stage. Having a Book of the Dead in one's tomb would be the equivalent of a student in the modern day getting their hands on all the test answers they would ever need in every grade of school.

At some point prior to 1600 BCE the different spells had been divided in chapters and, by the time of the New Kingdom (c. 1570 - c. 1069 BCE), the book was extremely popular. Scribes who were experts in spells would be consulted to fashion custom-made books for an individual or a family. Bunson notes, "These spells and passwords were not part of a ritual but were fashioned for the deceased, to be recited in the afterlife" (47). If someone were sick, and feared they might die, they would go to a scribe and have them write up a book of spells for the afterlife. The scribe would need to know what kind of life the person had lived in order to surmise the type of journey they could expect after death; then the appropriate spells would be written specifically for that individual.

Compare and contrast the foreign policies of Nixon and Reagan, especially in regards to the Cold War.
morpeh [17]
President Richard Nixon's foreign policy was called the Nixon Doctrine. It stated that the United States would stand as the nuclear umbrella for it's allies, if ever something went seriously wrong and their security was threatened. However, he also stated that their security was something the allies would have to take care of themselves and that he would not interfere unless he was asked to. Ronald Reagan had more of a harsher stance and often supported authoritarian governments if he thought it would be more of a benefit to the United States and would oppose communism, as he was worried about the rise of communism and the Soviet Union. He was heavily involved in conflicts abroad, in contrast to Nixon.
