  • Paris History Early History Julius Caesar Conquered Paris in 52 BC It
    Paris History Early History Julius Caesar conquered Paris in 52 B.C. It was then a fishing village, called Lutetia Parisiorum (the Parisii were a Gallic tribe), on the Île de la Cité. Under the Romans the town spread to the left bank and acquired considerable importance under the later emperors. The vast catacombs under Montparnasse and the baths (now in the Cluny Mus.) remain from the Roman period. Legend says that St. Denis, first bishop of Paris, was martyred on Montmartre (hence the name) and that in the 5th cent. St. Geneviève, the patron saint of Paris, preserved the city from destruction by the Huns. On several occasions in its early history Paris was threatened by barbarian and Norman invasions, which at times drove the inhabitants back to the Île de la Cité. Clovis I and several other Merovingian kings made Paris their capital; under Charlemagne it became a center of learning. In 987, Hugh Capet, count of Paris, became king of France. The Capetians firmly established Paris as the French capital. The city grew as the power of the French kings increased. In the 11th cent. the city spread to the right bank. During the next two centuries—the reign of Philip Augustus (1180–1223) is especially notable for the growth of Paris—streets were paved and the city walls enlarged; the first Louvre (a fortress) and several churches, including Notre-Dame, were constructed or begun; and the schools on the left bank were organized into the Univ. of Paris. One of them, the Sorbonne, became a fountainhead of theological learning with Albertus Magnus and St.

  • Before the Emirates: an Archaeological and Historical Account of Developments in the Region C
    Before the Emirates: an Archaeological and Historical Account of Developments in the Region c. 5000 BC to 676 AD D.T. Potts Introduction In a little more than 40 years the territory of the former Trucial States and modern United Arab Emirates (UAE) has gone from being a blank on the archaeological map of Western Asia to being one of the most intensively studied regions in the entire area. The present chapter seeks to synthesize the data currently available which shed light on the lifestyles, industries and foreign relations of the earliest inhabitants of the UAE. Climate and Environment Within the confines of a relatively narrow area, the UAE straddles five different topographic zones. Moving from west to east, these are (1) the sandy Gulf coast and its intermittent sabkha; (2) the desert foreland; (3) the gravel plains of the interior; (4) the Hajar mountain range; and (5) the eastern mountain piedmont and coastal plain which represents the northern extension of the Batinah of Oman. Each of these zones is characterized by a wide range of exploitable natural resources (Table 1) capable of sustaining human groups practising a variety of different subsistence strategies, such as hunting, horticulture, agriculture and pastoralism. Tables 2–6 summarize the chronological distribution of those terrestrial faunal, avifaunal, floral, marine, and molluscan species which we know to have been exploited in antiquity, based on the study of faunal and botanical remains from excavated archaeological sites in the UAE. Unfortunately, at the time of writing the number of sites from which the inventories of faunal and botanical remains have been published remains minimal.

  • PARIS MIS EN MP3 REALISATION D'audio-GUIDES
    PARIS ANTIQUE EN MP3: REALISATION D'UN AUDIO-GUIDE EN COURS DE LATIN Projet de Marie Netzer, professeur de Lettres classiques en collège Présentation rapide du projet: Le projet présente les consignes de travail pour faire réaliser un audio-guide par les latinistes des trois niveaux afin de préparer la visite des vestiges antiques de la ville de Paris (arènes de Lutèce, thermes de Cluny, pilier des Nautes,...) ainsi que celle des départements du Louvre traitant de l'histoire et de la mythologie romaines. Il s'agit de rendre les élèves acteurs en leur assignant le rôle de guide pour leurs camarades. Objectif général: Chaque élève réalise une plage d'audio-guide qui sera écoutée lors de la visite des différents lieux marquants du Paris antique. Par groupes de deux, les élèves font ensuite une recherche approfondie sur une oeuvre du Louvre en rapport avec la mythologie et l'histoire romaines afin de proposer un document publisher mais aussi de réaliser une autre plage audio-guide qui sera elle aussi écoutée lors de la visite. Chaque plage s'achèvera sur une question posée par l'élève qui l'a réalisée. L'ensemble des questions permettra de réaliser deux questionnaires qui seront les fils conducteurs de la journée. Pré-requis: − consulter (et faire consulter) le site du Louvre − consulter (et faire consulter) le très riche site http://www.paris.culture.fr/ − récupérer sur ce dernier site le plan du Paris antique afin d'établir son itinéraire − acquérir un dictaphone numérique (à défaut utiliser son smartphone pour les enregistrements) Déroulement du travail de recherche: 1.

  • Hospitality, Tourism, & Leisure in the U.A.E
    The U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council is the premier business organization dedicated to advancing bilateral commercial relations. By leveraging its extensive networks in the U.S. and in the region, the U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council provides unparalleled access to senior decision makers in business and government with the aim of deepening bilateral trade and investment. U.S.-U.A.E. Business Council 505 Ninth Street, NW Suite 6010 Washington D.C. +202.863.7285 [email protected] usuaebusiness.org Introduction The United Arab Emirates has long been recognized as a premier tourism and leisure destination. Over the past decade, these sectors have experienced rapid and sustained growth, becoming a key component of the U.A.E.’s successful economic diversification strategy. The biggest names in the international hospitality industry – from Hilton to Hyatt to Marriott – have invested heavily in the U.A.E. Meanwhile, the U.A.E. has developed, and exported, brand names of its own, such as DAMAC, Emaar, and Jumeirah. Moreover, household names like Six Flags, Sea World, Warner Bros., and Guggenheim are all taking root in the U.A.E.’s leisure and entertainment sectors. Main drivers of the sector’s robust growth have historically been the country’s strategic location, world-class transportation infrastructure, and fast-growing airlines. Two-thirds of the world’s population lives within an 8-hour fight of the U.A.E., and Emirates and Etihad Airways have become synonymous with best-in- class international travel. An ongoing catalyst for the expansion of the Emirati hospitality industry is the upcoming 2020 World Exposition, an international mega event.
