  • Sothic Cycle - Wikipedia
    12/2/2018 Sothic cycle - Wikipedia Sothic cycle The Sothic cycle or Canicular period is a period of 1,461 Egyptian civil years of 365 days each or 1,460 Julian years averaging 365¼ days each. During a Sothic cycle, the 365-day year loses enough time that the start of its year once again coincides with the heliacal rising of the star Sirius (Ancient Egyptian: Spdt or Sopdet, "Triangle"; Greek: Σῶθις, Sō̂this) on 19 July in the Julian calendar.[1][a] It is an important aspect of Egyptology, particularly with regard to reconstructions of the Egyptian calendar and its history. Astronomical records of this displacement may have been responsible for the later establishment of the more accurate Julian and Alexandrian calendars. Sirius (bottom) and Orion (right). The Winter Triangle is formed Contents from the three brightest stars in the northern winter sky: Sirius, Mechanics Betelgeuse (top right), and Discovery Procyon (top left). Chronological interpretation Observational mechanics and precession Problems and criticisms Notes References External links Mechanics The ancient Egyptian civil year, its holidays, and religious records reflect its apparent establishment at a point when the return of the bright star Sirius to the night sky was considered to herald the annual flooding of the Nile.[2] However, because the civil calendar was exactly 365 days long and did not incorporate leap years until 22 BC, its months "wandered" backwards through the solar year at the rate of about one day in every four years. This almost exactly corresponded to its displacement against the Sothic year as well. (The Sothic year is about a minute longer than a solar year.)[2] The sidereal year of 365.25636 days is only valid for stars on the ecliptic (the apparent path of the Sun across the sky), whereas Sirius's displacement ~40˚ below the ecliptic, its proper motion, and the wobbling of the celestial equator cause the period between its heliacal risings to be almost exactly 365.25 days long instead.

  • Schistosomiasis in Antiquity
    SCHISTOSOMIASIS IN ANTIQUITY by P. B. ADAMSON* INTODUCF1ON SCHISTOSOMES that infect domestic animals are of great economic importance, and may even cause death in cattle and sheep.' These parasites may also at times infest man, the most important of the several species being Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma mansoni. They are the subject of the present discussion. Both these parasites have a complicated, but similar, life cycle. Mature adult male and female schistosomes inhabit the small mesenteric or pelvic veins of man, the definitive host. After fertilization, the eggs are eventually extruded into the urinary tract or the rectum, causing haemorrhage from these sites. In general, infection by S. haematobium tends to localize in the genito-urinary system, whereas infection by S. mansoni is more likely to be found in the rectum. Their mature eggs are, therefore, found either in the urine or faeces, or in the walls of the bladder or rectum. Both eggs and schistosomes may, however, be in aberrant sites, such as the internal viscera or in the superficial tissues.2 On discharge from the body, the eggs hatch out in fresh water, and the free-swimming miracidia infest snails ofthe family Physidae or Bulinidae for S. haematobium, and of the family Planorbidae for S. mansoni infections. These multiply asexually within the visceral mass of the snail, the alternative host, and when conditions are suitable, free-swimming larval forms, cercariae, escape into the water, penetrate the skin of the definitive host, man, and become immature schisto- somes. Eventually, after passing through the lungs, they migrate to the venules of the pelvis or mesentery, where they mature in situ and lay eggs intravascularly, thus repeating their life cycle.

  • Developing Civilization in Ancient Egypt by Ushistory.Org 2016
    Name: Class: Developing Civilization in Ancient Egypt By USHistory.org 2016 Egypt is a modern-day country that was one of the first regions of the world to be a cradle of civilization. Civilization first emerged in the northeast corner of Africa along the 4,200 mile Nile River over 5,000 years ago. In 3150 B.C., Menes united Upper and Lower Egypt and founded the first dynasty of Egypt. As you read, note the ways that civilization is able to grow, and how one development of civilization affects another. [1] Hieroglyphs, pyramids, mummies, the Sphinx of Giza, King Tut, and Cleopatra — the sands of the Nile River Valley hold many clues about one of the most mysterious, progressive, and artistic ancient civilizations. A great deal of evidence survives about how the ancient Egyptians lived, but questions remain. Even the wise sphinx1 would have trouble answering some of them. How were the pyramids built? Who came up with the idea for mummies and why? What was a 2 typical day like for a pharaoh? "The River Nile with the Giza Pyramids" by Otto Heyden is in the public domain. Something we can know is that Ancient Egypt had the five major components of civilization: cities, specialized workers, complex governing institutions, record keeping, and advanced technology. In De-Nile None of the achievements of the remarkable ancient Egyptian civilization would have been possible without the Nile River. There is always a connection between landscape and how a people develop. It does not take the wisdom of a sphinx to understand why.

  • Chronology Is a Subject Inherent in All Discussion of Ancient History
    Chronology is a subject inherent in all discussion of ancient history. We will look at timing of the Ice Age; and where Abraham, Joseph and the Exodus sit in Egyptian history. Timeline is not only about how old the universe is. We all know what our differences with the secular world are on that score. This is about when historical events actually occurred. 1 2 3 4 A familiar example is the taking of Jericho by the Children of Israel. If we use a date of about 1450 BC for the Exodus, the destruction of Jericho would have occurred about 40 years later in 1410. Secular historians and archaeologists claim that Jericho was unoccupied at that time. We will return to the matter of dating Jericho’s fall later on. Does it matter exactly when Jericho fell? Well, not really, except for one thing. The secular people dismiss the date that we calculate from biblical timeline information, and they declare the Bible unreliable. Indeed, I sometimes wonder whether these unbelieving scholars try to find the Bible incorrect. After all, if the Bible were to be found true, this might upset their unbelief. 5 The last point is especially important. It’s not just Egyptian history that hangs on this timeline. If we change anything in this accepted secular timeline, we are rearranging the history of the entire world. Therefore, making changes in this timeline is not to be done lightly. 6 This pictorial list engraved in stone is one of the ancient resources for history of the pharaohs. It was originally located on a wall at Karnak and is now on display at the Louvre museum in Paris.

  • Sunken Cities: Egypt's Lost Worlds Audio Guide Transcript
    Audio Guide Transcript Sunken Cities: Egypt’s Lost Worlds March 25–September 9, 2018 Main Exhibition Galleries Introduction to Sunken Cities: Egypt’s Lost Worlds Speaker: Brent Benjamin Barbara B. Taylor Director Saint Louis Art Museum Hello, I’m Brent Benjamin, The Barbara B. Taylor Director of the Saint Louis Art Museum. I’d like to welcome you to our exhibition Sunken Cities: Egypt’s Lost Worlds. Many of the objects you are about to see were lost for more than 1,200 years under the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. In 1996, the European Institute of Underwater Archaeology initiated a search for two cities, whose histories were only known through ancient accounts. The research team, led by underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio, has since discovered a variety of incredible objects from these underwater excavations and confirmed the two cities’ names: Thonis-Heracleion and Canopus. In this exhibition you will find exceptionally preserved artifacts, which offer us a better understanding of life in Egypt in the first millennium. The Museum’s presentation is the first time many of these works of art will be seen in the United States. The recently discovered colossal statues, votive offerings, and jewelry are also supplemented by works of art from museums across Egypt. These treasures help tell the story of cities and cultures that flourished together in the ancient world. Your journey begins in the 7th century BC in the ancient Egyptian port of Thonis-Heracleion. As you continue through the exhibition, you will learn about the religious customs of the city. Subsequent galleries will highlight Osiris, the Egyptian god of underworld, whose family and legend shaped the Mysteries of Osiris, one of the most important ceremonies celebrated throughout ancient Egypt.

  • The History of Egypt Has Been Long and Wealthy, Due to the Flow of The
    The history of Egypt has been long and wealthy, due to the flow of the Nile River with its fertile banks and delta, as well as the accomplishments of Egypt's native inhabitants and outside influence. Much of Egypt's ancient history was a mystery until the secrets of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs were deciphered with the discovery and help of the Rosetta Stone. Among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, is the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Library of Alexandria was the only one of its kind for centuries. Human settlement in Egypt dates back to at least 40,000 BC with Aterian tool manufacturing.[citation needed] Ancient Egyptian civilization coalesced around 3150 BC with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh of the First Dynasty, Narmer. Predominately native Egyptian rule lasted until the conquest by the Achaemenid Empire in the sixth century BC. In 332 BC, Macedonian ruler Alexander the Great conquered Egypt as he toppled the Achaemenids and established the Hellenistic Ptolemaic Kingdom, whose first ruler was one of Alexander's former generals, Ptolemy I Soter. The Ptolemies had to fight native rebellions and were involved in foreign and civil wars that led to the decline of the kingdom and its final annexation by Rome. The death of Cleopatra ended the nominal independence of Egypt resulting in Egypt becoming one of the provinces of the Roman Empire.[citation needed] Roman rule in Egypt (including Byzantine) lasted from 30 BC to 641 AD, with a brief interlude of control by the Sasanian Empire between 619–629, known as Sasanian Egypt.[1] After the Muslim conquest of Egypt, parts of Egypt became provinces of successive Caliphates and other Muslim dynasties: Rashidun Caliphate (632-661), Umayyad Caliphate (661–750), Abbasid Caliphate (750–909), Fatimid Caliphate (909–1171), Ayyubid Sultanate (1171–1260), and the Mamluk Sultanate (1250–1517).

They were regarded as both gods and political figures. The pharaohs inherited the crown through the royal bloodline where the king, the father, left the throne after his death to his eldest son. Countless pharaohs have ruled over Egypt making it one of the greatest civilizations ever.
