  • Juegos De La Antigüedad Y Edad Media
    Introducción - Juegos de la Antigüedad y Edad Media Indice General | Volver Página 1 de 1 Introducción Hay muchos juegos egipcios, asirios, mesopotámicos, vikingos, etc. que provienen de la Antigüedad y de la Edad Media, y sus reglas no se conocen con certeza, pero a través de manuscritos y otros hallazgos se puede lograr un acercamiento posible. Estos juegos son: * El Hnefatafl, juego vikingo, con sus variantes. * Perros y Chacales, juego egipcio, que se ha encontrado también en Palestina, Mesopotamia y Asiria. * El Rithmomachy, "Juego de los Filósofos", jugado en la Edad Media, inventado en Alemania. * El Senet, juego también egipcio, que puede ser el antepasado del Backgammon. Perros y Chacales - Juegos de la Antigüedad y Edad Media Indice General | Volver Página 1 de 2 1.Su historia Este es un juego cuyo nombre y reglas también han sido olvidados entre las nieblas del pasado. Se conoce como el juego de los "Perros y Chacales". Sabemos de este juego por medio de un famoso tablero encontrado en una tumba egipcia. Pertenece a una familia de juegos llamada "juego de los treinta puntos" o "juego de los cincuenta y ocho agujeros". Se han descubierto muchos tableros o fichas de tableros en Egipto, como así también en Palestina, Mesopotamia y Asiria. Se ha encontrado un tablero muy lindo en la tumba de Reny-Seneb, de la XII dinastía, aprox. 1800 a.C. Este hermoso juego en ébano y marfil, tiene la forma de un pequeño mueble. El tablero es una caja de madera rectangular (de 15 x 10 cm.), puesto sobre cuatro patas de animal.

What are you writing, Opa? I answered that I was thinking about the new year, and what great deeds in history would be commemorated in 1993 the sesquicentennial of the Oregon Trail, which traverses our Grande Ronde valley; the beatification of Father Damien De Veuster, the Belgian missionary who served and gave his life to the lepers on Molokai; King Louis XVI of France and his Queen Marie Antoinette were executed 1793, the same year that the US proclaimed its neutrality: in 1893, Karl Benz in Germany constructed the first tour wheel car, powered by a internal combustion engine, followed by Henri Ford in America a few months later; and ... But my youngest grandson interrupted: Opa, you forgot the most important one: I will be 10 years old this year... What more can I say...! Micheline Gaudette made another tremendous contribution to our organization: she submitted a Cumulative Index of Belgian Laces from 1989 till 1992: a complete index of 60 pages of names, articles, authors, etc.. This represents hours of work and shows true dedication, Micheline. In name of all our members we thank you. We will have this index printed as a separate publication and make it available to the membership upon request ($5 prepaid from this office).

  • Morrison, Illinois
    Morrison, Illinois Visitor’s Guide www.morrisonchamber.com WELCOME TO MORRISON Welcome to our town! The City of Morrison, Illinois is located in the northwestern part of the state. We are a city of rich heritage and charm whose citizens are welcoming to all. The residents of Morrison have a long history of voluntarism to the community and their neighbors. We are extremely proud of our schools that have long been recognized as one of the best small school systems in the state. Our accomplishments in academics, athletics and the fine arts are on a par with far larger districts. This is due not only to our modern facilities, dedicated teachers and staff, but also to the involvement of interested parents. In addition to our schools, we have a very modern library and community room. Morrison is located on the Historic Lincoln Highway, which stretched across the U.S. Today, it is commonly referred to as Route 30. As you travel to and around Morrison, you will see one of the oldest mills in the state on the west end of town. Contrast that with one of the newest covered bridges in the state on the north edge of town, and on our east side you will find our award winning sports complex that draws competitors from a wide area. On the south edge of town is our industrial park, as well as the Morrison Institute of Technology which is widely recognized as one of the premier two year technical schools of its type. Morrison is also the County seat and has a very modern courthouse and law enforcement center.
