Kerala on the South West Coast of India had trade relations with Rome and Greece, how far back in history?

If Evolution were true.....then why no recorded human history before 4000 BC? Evolutionists claim that man evolved over millions/billions years ago. If there were any truth to these false claims, then man's historical record should span back at least hundreds-of-thousands of years, if not millions One of the simplest and best proofs that evolution is a joke, is the FACT that there is NO recorded history prior to 4,000 B.C. The world's history is CLEARY defined by SIX world powers since time began: Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. There is no record of a cataclysmic event that destroyed mankind prior to 4,000 B.C. Do you think it's a mere coincidence that the Word of God is so concise on world history? If I were an evolutionist, I would be extremely disturbed by this FACT. Prove me wrong! I dare you to show me any recorded civilization before 4,000 B.C. And I don't mean some pottery jug or item that you claim is 14,000 years old--Show me any evidence of civilization prior to 4,000 B.C Oh sure, some stubborn evolutionists are going to start talking about carbon-dating, archeological findings, etc. BUT, the bottom line is that the history of mankind should be traceable far beyond 4,000 B.C., going back million of years IF evolution were true. http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evolution%20Hoax/4000.htm NOTE: I am openly challenge you to explain the above and ANSWER the question, and NOT to avoid the question by telling me to go to school or read a book. That's also willful ignorant due to your sinful pride. I could think of few verses in the bible that describes you.

Islamic Empire influence the development of world history? I was wondering if you had any ideas or comments on how to start and write an essay that was assigned and is due on 12/15. Thanks: hERE IS THE ASSIGNMENT: Write a 5 paragraph essay that addresses the following question: How did the Islamic Empire influence the development of world history? Choose 3 areas of advancement and discuss their advancements in each area. Also explain how these advancements are important to our world today. SOME INFO: Culture of Traders The Arabs had been traders for centuries before their empire developed. Muhammad himself had been a trader. It is not surprising, then, that trade was important to Muslim culture. The empire was at the center of a world trade network that linked Europe, Asia, and Africa. India and China sent goods to ports in Syria and Egypt. As trade grew, other cultures increasingly demanded the quality goods that Muslims produced, such as textiles manufactured from silk, cotton, and wool, as well as beautiful woven tapestries and carpets. Muslims also made metal products from gold and silver. Steel swords from Damascus and from the Spanish city of Toledo became world famous. Luxuries such as jewelry, perfumes, and spices were in great demand. Muslim artisans produced pottery and glassware. Artisans in North Africa and Spain made fine leather goods. All this trade made the Islamic Empire wealthy. Muslims exchanged ideas with other cultures as well. Both Córdoba and Toledo in Spain were famous centers of learning. Christian and Jewish scholars carried Muslim ideas from Spain into western Europe. Sicily under the Muslims was known for its astronomers and geographers. They, too, influenced Europeans. Many Europeans, in fact, viewed the Muslim world as a source of advanced knowledge in many scientific areas and in banking and commerce. Government and Society Under Arab rule, the Muslim Empire was organized into provinces. At first one caliph headed the government. Disagreement over succession to the position developed, however. In time, these disputes led to the breakup of the empire into three areas, or caliphates. The caliphates were ruled by caliphs in Baghdad, Cairo, and Córdoba. Muslims throughout the Islamic Empire lived according to the Qur'an. It guided both their religious life and daily life—there was no separation. The Qur'an gave detailed instructions about how society should be organized and how people should live. All Muslims were expected to follow the Islamic laws in public and private life. Slavery was common in Arabia. The Qur'an urged Muslims to free their slaves. Those who chose to keep slaves were required to treat them humanely. No free Muslim could be enslaved, and the children of a female slave and her master were free. The family was the core of Muslim daily life. Muslims showed concern for all members of their family—parents, children, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. They particularly respected the elderly. In Islamic families everyone had specific roles and duties. Men were responsible for the family's needs. Parents usually arranged marriages for their children. However, the Qur'an gave a woman the right to refuse the arrangement. The groom was required to give his bride a marriage gift of property or money. It was common in Arabia for a man to have several wives. The Qur'an restricted a Muslim man to four wives, and he had to treat them equally. In fact, the Qur'an gave women more rights than they had received under traditional Arab law. For example, if a woman got divorced, she kept her own money and was free to remarry. She could also inherit money and own property. Muslim women enjoyed more freedom than most women at the time. Later, however, women began to be secluded and lost some rights. The government supported schools and libraries. The family and the mosque also took responsibility for education. A person who could speak and write well was thought to be educated. Students attended religious study groups at the mosque. Advanced students could attend schools established for the study of science, mathematics, or law. Medicine. Some of the most important contributions that Muslims made were to medical science. They studied the work of the famous Greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen. Then they added to what the Greeks had done. Scientific advances in the use of herbs, foods, and prepared drugs added to the Islamic world's vast store of medical knowledge. Some of this early Muslim work in the development and preparation of pharmaceutical drugs is still in use today. In some cases, techniques such as distillation that were first used by Muslim scientists to prepare medical drugs are also followed by today's manufacturers. Muslim doctors achieved great progress in the techniques of dissection to study anatomy. They also developed improved surgical instruments and processes. The Muslim surgeon Abu al-Qasim, for example, practiced in Islamic Spain, in the city of Córdoba. His work did much to

Looking to find inspiration for an "Art History" Project...?!? I'm NOT an art major, but i'm taking an "Art History" elective, a part of our grade is an actual project. We were just given the assignment, which isn't due until mid April; though, I have no idea what precisely i'd like to make, nor a good way to go about doing it. So, to help me brainstorm, maybe trigger some embedded creativity, I thought i'd inquire if anybody had basic suggestions?, or could educate me with their advice? I know it's a broad question, hence, answers might be obscure and/or vague It can be in any form my mind comes up with(painting/drawing/sketch/stained glass/sculpture/statue/diagram/pottery/multimedia/song/video...ETC); and I can choose any concept from "Western Culture" We've traced back to paleolithic man. My areas of interest are Egypt, Greek, Roman, Early medieval, Romanesque, and Gothic Art; although i'll do another subject if more convenient. All feedback is appreciated (Even if you tell me to build a pyramid from sugar cubes) Thanks a bunch..!!

Why do archaeologists have to dig? Ok, this is a serious question. I feel ashamed not to know the answers, but I never understood this. I was standing in an early medieval church in Ireland a few years back. It had been excavated and its ground floor was now at least a meter below ground. How did it get there? I don’t understand the process, of how pottery, churches, spearheads, streets or dinosaur bones for that matter, disappear below ground. I know that the ground consists of layers, and that geologists can determine the date of a find, by looking at the layer it comes from. But how are these layers formed? I don’t suppose the earth got any bigger? Where did the ground on top of these finds come from? How does the earth burry its own history? Now I know that floods, wind and volcanic activity can shift soil and leave deposits, but surely that cannot account for all of this. And then how is it possible that in Australia the remains of pre-historic campfires can still be found on the surface? Thanks!

Why did the History Channel portray the Egyptians as Arab when we all know the civilization was black? and that Arabs invaded Egypt during the Islamic golden age ? You know I'm frustrated when I watch the Discovery, National Geographic, and even the History channel renactmens of Ancient Egypt. They always seem to have these Middle Eastern/ Arab actors when that is Historically inaccurate. Why is it that they refuse to see these ancient Africans as well....Indigenous Africans? Then when the issue of the protrayal of the race of the Ancient Egyptians is criticized by blacks the first buzzword thrown is Afrocentrism, and the classic false assumption that Cleopatra (who wasn't native Egyptians) was black and thusly claiming Ancient Egypt as black is also false. How is claiming an Ancient African civilization as Black Afrocentric? I'm not claiming Greece, Rome, Ect as black, But Ancient Africa! Recent studies have proved that ancient Egyptian crania cluster primarily to modern day East Africans, So I why aren't East Africans portrayed as the Ancient Egyptians in these reneactments? However we have heard the classic..."well the race doesn't really matter" excuse, So you know what I say. If race doesn't matter then let Caesar be represented by a Chinese man, Let Brutus be a Black man! It's racist Hypocracy, Plain Put! Ancient Egypt was Black! A 2004 study of the mtDNA of 58 native inhabitants from upper Egypt performed to indicate origins found a genetic ancestral heritage to East Africa, and another study links Egyptians in general with people from modern Eritrea and Ethiopia.[3] The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diversity of 58 individuals from Upper Egypt, more than half (34 individuals) from Gurna, whose population has an ancient cultural history, were studied by sequencing the control-region and screening diagnostic RFLP markers. This sedentary population presented similarities to the Ethiopian population by the L1 and L2 macrohaplogroup frequency (20.6%), by the West Eurasian component (defined by haplogroups H to K and T to X) and particularly by a high frequency (17.6%) of haplogroup M1. We statistically and phylogenetically analysed and compared the Gurna population with other Egyptian, Near East and sub-Saharan Africa populations; AMOVA and Minimum Spanning Network analysis showed that the Gurna population was not isolated from neighbouring populations. Our results suggest that the Gurna population has conserved the trace of an ancestral genetic structure from an ancestral East African population, characterized by a high M1 haplogroup frequency. The current structure of the Egyptian population may be the result of further influence of neighbouring populations on this ancestral population.[4] Journal of Anthropology 2007 http://wysinger.homestead.com/zakrzewski_2007.pdf Saharan-Sudanic inheritance of Nile Valley settlers. Data on the peopling of the Nile Valley do not appear to support earlier historical notions of an initial wave of Caucasoid invaders entering from the North in order to introduce civilization. Mainstream data shows gradual movement and peopling from the south- the Saharan zone and associated parts of the Sudanic region, fusing with indigenous Nilotic elements already in place, leading into the development of the well-known Egyptian kingdoms, not sweeping insertions from the Mediterranean, Mesopotamia or elsewhere.(AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY 83:35-48 (1990)[96] See Wiki article Predynastic Egypt for the now discounted Dynastic Race Theory. As to the Saharan movement even Afrocentric critics such as Mary Lefkowitz note: "Recent work on skeletons and DNA suggests that the people who settled in the Nile valley, like all of humankind, came from somewhere south of the Sahara; they were not (as some nineteenth-century scholars had supposed) invaders from the North. See Bruce G. Trigger, "The Rise of Civilization in Egypt," Cambridge History of Africa (Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1982), vol I, pp 489-90; S. O. Y. Keita, "Studies and Comments on Ancient Egyptian Biological Relationships," History in Africa 20 (1993) 129-54."[97] Elements from both the Sahara and associated Sudanic regions appear to have been involved in the peopling Egypt according to a number of mainstream references. The Khartoum Culture and other zones of the Sudan for example show significant influence as indicated by pottery, jewelry, tools and implements, raw materials such as certain types of stone, and artistic designs.[98] S.O.Y. KEITA, "Studies of Ancient Crania From Northern Africa", AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY 83:35-48 (1990) ^ Lefkowitz, Mary "Not Out of Africa: How Afrocentrism Became an Excuse to Teach Myth as History," Basic Books, 1997] Shomarka Omar Keita and Zahi Hawass discuss colorism and race or genetics of AE (In 2 parts) Keita states that there is no Scientific evidence in existence which sugguest that the Ancient Egyptians were anything other than Indigenous Northeast Africans. 35,000 year old skeleton found in Egypt (1980)..

How can I re-write this paragraph? African art has played a significant role in the culture and history of the world. It goes back into the mists of time, with earliest examples being figures of people and animals carved into rocks. Its distinguishing characteristics and inspirations have influenced many artists to adapt their own interpretations of the art in their own time period. There are thousands of different ethnic groups in Africa. African art has largely widespread characteristics which make it distinctly African. There are seven major types of art produced in Africa. They are masks, textiles, baskets, metalwork, furniture, pottery and beadwork. I am going to talk about a couple of these and where and when they came about. I am also going to discuss, the different influences of African art on western and modern art, the traditions of African art, and the history of African art in different areas of Africa.

Dragon History - Dinosaurs Revealed proof for the bible ? READ? It wasn't until 1841 that English scientist Richard Owens suggested that the group of "newly discovered" animals be called "dinosaurs," which literally means "terrible lizards." Throughout the next few decades, the first artist depictions of dinosaurs were actually comical when compared to what we can scientifically discern today. How then, do pottery, linens, cave paintings, and written descriptions of "dragons" from 2,000 to 4,000 years ago depict dinosaurs better than what science could muster in the mid-1800's? Where are all these accounts of dragon history? Actually, let's start with the Bible, the most widely published book in history. A search for the word "dragon" in the King James Version of the Bible produces 34 separate matches across 10 different books written between approximately 2000 BC and 90 AD. The word "dragon" (Hebrew: tannin) is used throughout the Old Testament, and most directly translates as "sea or land monsters." In the Book of Job, the author describes the great creatures, Behemoth (Job 40) and Leviathan (Job 41). Although the latest Bible translations use the words elephant, hippo or crocodile instead of Behemoth and Leviathan, the original Hebrew and the context of the descriptions do not allow for these interpretations. Dragon accounts from China, Europe, the Middle East, and ancient Latin America share similar accounts of "dragons" and other beasts.

PLEASE edit (world history paper!!!!!!!!)? i still need an introduction and conclusion but plz edit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank u!!!!!!!!!! ~maddy~ Jobs of Slaves: Slaves in Ancient Greece had a wide variety of different jobs and responsibilities. The most common jobs that slaves were assigned was to work as house slaves, laboring in fields, ship rowers, and surprisingly, police officers for the men only. In fact, most police officials in Ancient Greece were slaves that had been freed by their masters for good behavior . Slaves could also work as domestic servants, factory workers, shopkeepers, mineworkers, farm-workers, and as ship crew members. Both men and women slaves who worked in factories or small shops spent their days weaving cloth or making shoes, shields, pottery, or leather. Some slaves cut hair in barbershops while others worked in the public baths. Slaves who could read and write were often teachers, and slaves who had artistic skills may have been musicians or dancers. Slaves who had no talents and were poor workers were often resorted to prostitution . Women slaves could work as nurses, nannies, cleaning women, or cooks. They would collect water for their master’s family from the public fountains. Men slaves could obtain jobs such as caring for horses, or working as handymen or gardeners. There were also some deadly jobs that slaves had to do. Being a war ship rower in particular was one of the most dangerous jobs a slave could endure. Many of the war ship slaves died of hunger and diseases that stemmed from a lack of clean water. If a war ship happened to sink, the slaves would be trapped in the ship’s hull and most likely drown. Slaves who worked in silver mines also had very risky jobs. The silver in the mines were mixed with lead, causing many of the men who worked in these mines to gradually die of lead poisoning. It was rare for a silver miner to live more than three years after starting their work. Although the slave owners were aware of the slaves being poisoned, they did not care. Often those forced into duties like these were those “condemned to death for committing crimes” such as thievery or murder; it was agreed that those in question would not live very long under these circumstances . However, many slaves went to the mines and war ships because they were forced to. No free men wanted jobs like these, so slaves were forced to do them instead. House Slaves and Field Slaves: The average house slave in Ancient Greece typically had 250 duties to fulfill each day . These tasks included cleaning the house, tending the fire, washing the dishes, and preparing meals. House slaves were also expected to visit the market on a weekly basis. The slave master’s wife would usually follow the slaves around during the day and continue assigning them tasks as a precaution to ensure that the slave would never be without a job to finish . Though some were still treated without much compassion, house slaves were generally given the most humane conduct of all slaves. In many circumstances, house slaves were respected as “part of the family”. Cases like these allowed house slaves to partake in special family activities, including the delicacy of sacrifices. A majority of house slaves were women, because men were needed and appreciated more working in the fields. Most slaves who worked in fields were responsible for plowing and planting seeds, as well as harvesting wheat, barley, and olives. Some slaves worked independently for small farms, with only a few slaves working alongside their master. Other slaves worked on huge farms with hundreds of other slaves, and never saw their owner . It was common for slaves to die from working diligently in the fields. Excessive exposure to heat, dehydration, and physical exhaustion all contributed to field slave’s high death rate . If a slave who worked in the fields destroyed the master’s crops- accidently or purposefully- he or she would be callously whipped or perhaps sold to someone who killed slaves for money. In any case regardless of their duties, a slave who did not complete their obligations would be punished by their masters, usually by being whipped. By extreme whipping and beating, some slaves would lose their lives from extensive blood loss. Who Where Slaves in Ancient Greece? Slaves were very poor members of the Greek society, whether they had immigrated or lived in Greece for their entire lives. It is difficult for historians to determine how many slaves existed in Ancient Greece because “many did not appear any different for the poor Greek citizens” . According to many records however, there were at least as many- if not more- slaves than free people in Ancient Greece. On average, each house would attain between ten to twenty slaves. Only three or four would work in the house with the master’s wife; the rest would be forced to work in the fields. There were several ways for a person to become a slave in Ancient Greece. Some slaves were born into slavery, meaning their p

Can anyone help me with this history project? I am supposed to come to class with my face painted like the Ancient Hebrews, except the Ancient Hebrews didnt wear face paint or make up. at least i dont think they did. My teachers said that if your civilization didnt paint their faces then you should research the patterns they used on clothing/pottery etc. and transfer those patterns onto you face. its a really lame project and its pretty irrelevant to what we are learning, but i have to do it and my teachers wont listen to me when i tell them that the hebrews didnt have face paint. does anyone know what hebrew patterns looked like? a website with pics would help a bunch. thx

Cat of nine tails? Repeated punching? Crucifixion? All for you, in your case did all of that do any good? Without you having to ask, Christ was beat with a CAT OF NINE TAILS, a whip with SHARP PIECES OF BONE AND POTTERY sewn it, so that it literally RIPPED the flesh off when it struck. He then was beaten punched over and over so severly that the Bible records " you could scarce tell that He was Human." And then to top it all of Jesus was crucified for our wrongs, He had committed no crimes of His own. IN YOUR CASE, DID ALL OF THAT ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING WITHIN YOU? ONLY YOU AND GOD CAN ANSWER THAT. History proves that Jesus really did live, and that He was executed. His word has survived centuries of criticism, and lives on, despite the great intellects that oppose it. What did all of Christs suffering accomplish within you? Are you ungrateful, uncaring, or are you humbled, and thankful?

"Archeologists discover first church..." did you get all excited, then disappointed too? (see details) http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080610/ts_afp/jordanreligionchristianarchaeology Did anyone else read this, get excited about such a new find that affirms our Christian history, only to be disappointed at the end because you know something is skewed about the dates? "...uncovered what we believe to be the first church in the world, dating from 33 AD to 70 AD..." Okay, kewl. And then... "...it was uncovered under Saint Georgeous Church, which itself dates back to 230 AD..." Okay, kewl again. But then, towards the end of the article, it says... "Researchers recovered pottery dating back to between the 3rd and 7th centuries" See the problem? How is it possible to uncover pottery from the 7th century under a church that was built in 230 AD? lol Can anyone enlighten me? What am I missing? I make no claim to knowing archeology other than in general. Please, no dismissals of all things Christian, I get that you don't believe in us my Atheist friends :)

Evolution is a hoax pt. 2? Evolutionists, I have a challenge for you. Can you show me(a link, a book, etc.) of any recorded history prior to 4000 B.C? Show me any evidence of civilization dating back longer than 4000 B.C. Show me any writings, carved stones, battles, wars, countries, ANY evidence of civilization. I am under the impression that evolution is a big hoax, but if you can prove me wrong, then I will embrace evolution. And I don't mean showing me a piece of pottery or jug you claim is 20,000 years old. Show me any recorded history, if you can. All of these answers seem clever, but it goes around the question. Show me evidence of ANY recorded civilization dating back longer than 4000 B.C. The burden of proof lies on the EVOLUTIONIST. Prove to me what I'm asking. Thanks for the insult DRAAGON. I'll have to return the favor someday. Does that mean you can't answer the question? Can you show me any writings? Evolutionists claim that we stopped evolving from apes 100,000 years ago. You mean to tell me that it took humanity 94,000 YEARS to learn how to write, communicate through drawings, etc.....? Geez. Where is the evidence. Cave paintings 30,000 years old? I assume you have some proof to back that up. mental10, perhaps I didn't make myself clear in my question. I'm talking about RECORDED HISTORY. Not something you claim to be millions of years old. I can grab any rock off the street, add mud to it, and say that radiocarbon dating places this rock at 70,000 years old. Show me a link of any recorded history. NOT ONE of you can do it. Actually, the cave painting arguments seem to prove that creationism exists. It lines up perfectly with scripture.Job 30:5,6 They were driven out from among men, They shouted at them as at a thief. They had to live in the clefts of the valleys, In caves of the earth and the rocks. ' Note that these were not ape-men, but descendants of those who scattered from Babel. Prove to me that THEY weren't the ones who drew on those cave walls.

How do anthropologists link prehistoric, pre-writing archaeological findings together into units? Small chipped grooved rocks found all over America became 'Clovis culture'. Stone faces and daises unearthed in Veracruz/Tabasco became 'Olmec civilization'. Lines carved into an expanse of desert and pottery uncovered there became 'Nazca culture'. Anthropologists are great at lassoing together findings from various locations and times; these groups invariably become viewed as units, with one people speaking one language living by one set of beliefs and customs. If one lists the civs of ex-Yucatan Mesoamerica as 'Olmec, Teotihuacan, Toltec, Aztec', there is a sense that the Olmecs were a civilization like the Toltecs & the Aztecs. What is the standard by which anthropologists annotate the debris of history into groups? Why do these groupings invariably get interpreted as one unit/people, as opposed to several? If in 3000yrs our descendants dig up F-80 and MIG remains in Korea, will America and Russia end up grouped together as the 'great Korean steel-wing civilization'?

Why are we created? Why are we created? Those who believe in the Creator can answer the questions: where from? And where to? They know that they have come into existence by being created by the Creator and they also know that there is an eternal life after death. But what about the answer to the third question, that is: why have we been created? If we had been created by the Creator, shouldn’t we expect that He would tell us the purpose of our creation? Shouldn’t He tell us on what basis He is going to judge us on the Day of Judgment? What is the Islamic view? Muslims say they know the answers because they have the Quran. But people of other religions also have their own scriptures, so what is so special about the Quran? The Quran is basically a book of divine guidance in areas that cannot be covered by the human senses or intellect, such as faith, acts of worship, a moral code and a code that governs the transactions between people. These are the four basic foundations of religion, an area in which man always needs divine guidance. Muslims contend that the Quran is the last revealed scripture by Allah (Allah is the proper name of God and is not used to denote any other being. Therefore, I shall use the name Allah in preference to the word God). The Quran is the recorded words of Allah Himself dictated verbatim to the Prophet Muhammad in installments, verse by verse or a group of verses, through the angel Gabriel over a period of 23 years between 610 and 633 AD. It is divided into 114 units, each called a surah. Muhammad received revelation of the Quranic surahs as and when Allah chose to bestow on him new revelation. At times several surahs, particularly the longer ones, were being revealed to him concurrently. Muhammad used to have a group of scribes entrusted with committing immediately whatever was revealed to him to writing. Those scribes used parchment, pottery, date palm leaves, flat stones, tree bark, wood, dried animal skins and even the shoulder blades of sheep or camels to write on; and the revealed verses were memorized by heart as the mere recitation of the Quran is in itself an act of worship, and as Muslims used these verses in their judgments and in their daily five prayers. In this manner, the verses of the Quran were preserved in the hearts of Muslims, as well as written down, during the lifetime of the Prophet. Muhammad was instructed by angel Gabriel where to place every new passage in the surahs. The surahs were named by divine decree, and Muhammad recited the whole of the Quran in front of Gabriel more than once in the last year of his life. Similarly, the arrangement of the surahs in a specific order was given by the Prophet Muhammad who indicated it mostly by reading the surahs, particularly in prayer, in a specific order. No revealed book has ever enjoyed the authenticity of the Quran or had the cherishing, reverence, surveillance and care of its followers as the Quran. The whole Quran has been memorized by a large number of Muslims in the lifetime of Muhammad . After Muhammad’s departure, the first Caliph, Abu Bakr, asked one of the original scribes, Zaid ibn Thabit, to be in charge of collecting the original writings of the Quranic revelations and writing down the whole Quran. Zaid produced a whole copy of the Quran written on pages of leather. It was arranged in the order we have today. This was done in the first two years after the Prophet’s death, since Abu Bakr ruled for less than two years. This copy was then entrusted with the second Caliph, Omar, and finally with the third Caliph, Othman. During the reign of Othman, the Arabs came to know the paper industry from China and Othman called on Zaid to head a committee of four Quranic scholars who would take on the task of making seven copies. Those seven copies (written 14 years after Muhammad’s death) were distributed to the various centers of the Muslim state to be the reference copy in each center. At least three of those original copies of the Quran are still intact, one in Tashkent, one in Istanbul, and one in Cairo. They do not differ in one letter from the millions of copies of the Quran that are in the hands of people today. This authentication of the last revelation is in itself miraculous. The Quran is the oldest book within the hands of humanity that has been kept intact in exactly the same language of revelation word for word and letter for letter. That is why the Quran is unique, because it is the word of the Creator in its purest divinity. Muslims believe in the authentic original revelations given to Prophets Moses, David and Jesus, but none of these original revelations is found intact, and none is found in the original language of revelation, and here the Quran stands unique in its divine purity. Again the Quran is different from any human writings because it is neither prose nor poetry. It came to the Arabs when they were at their peak in eloquence and challenged them to produce one single chapter of it, or similar to it, or to produce ten similar chapters or even a book like it. This challenge still exists today and no challenger is forthcoming. The early scholars of the Quran thought that its miraculous nature was due mainly to its style and beautiful expression. The beauty of expression is really unique and cannot be paralleled by human writings. That is why the early commentators of the Quran concentrated on its eloquence and style. Yet being the word of the Creator, any area that has been covered in the Quran must be unique. If you look at jurisprudence the Quran is unique, in the area of worship, the Quran instructs people how to worship Allah. The concepts of Divinity, prophet hood, and morality are all unique in the Quran. If we look at the narration of history of previous nations, one after the other, and how they received the divine message, their reaction towards it and what their reward or punishment was, at a time when there was no form of regular documentation whatsoever. The Quran talks about these successive nations without a single mistake, and modern archaeological discoveries are a testimony to this.

which is the best trip have you undertaken till date ? Hampi was not on our radar, while traveling to Chitradurga Fort, we planned for just a weekend getaway from Bangalore by car. After finishing the trip to Kalline Kote, we instinctively decided why not rush to Hampi? It is just 150 kms away, with small stretch of 18 kms of bad road before Kudilgi on NH 13. I happened to visit during 1978 along with my parents. In those days, it was typical village with a rustic atmosphere. There was not much interest among the tourist to visit this place, which was known as ruined city, without any guide we wandered cluelessly and we landed in the peak of summer to add to our discomfort. The only distinct memory was that of Inverted Gopuram of Virupakasha temple. After a gap of nearly 30 years I find that a new civilization has emerged. Perhaps after Hampi being declared a world heritage site in 1987, a mind blowing transformation has taken place at Hampi. It is as if history is being re-written, with guides, autorikshaw round trip, bike guides, and professional tour operators unleashing knowledge to tourists. There are exists lot of similarities between POMPEII & HAMPI. The common features are : 1. Road Network 2. Water Management 3. Temple construction 4. Public functions 5. Common Bath 6. Cultural Festivity 7 Art & Sculpture 8. Well defined markets.9 Brothels Lane. Trading activity were carried out between various parts of the world in both the periods. We find gems & jewellery being traded in the bazaars. All household articles such as pottery, grains, vegetables, fruits, beetlenut, flowers etc were being traded. Further brothel lanes were located in the bazaar for the visitors and artisans from outstation. Our first point of visit was Virupaksha temple which was guided by a foreigner, because we ignored the offer to be guided @ Rs 400/- for a trip, which we thought was exhorbitant. We entered the Virupaksha temple without any enterance fee ( between 6.30 to 8 am it is free entry) The sheer grandeur started unraveling. On the left there is a sanctum which is occupied by tourists for changeover, which is really surprising. The main temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is supposed to have been captivated by the dedication of Pampadevi. Lord Shiva consented to marry Pampa in his avatar as Virupaksha, the presiding deity. Behind the Virupaksha temple lies a room wherein we can view the inverted image of the main tower through a pin hole. It is application of Periscope principle. The bazaar in front of the Virupakasha temple is proposed to be shifted to another place to maintain the heritage look. The proposed shopping centre will be the main reporting centre for Hampi excursion. An organized trip with eco friendly mode of transport would be ideal. Further a fixed guide charges would be also be ideal depending on no of spots toured or time spent concept. After Virupaksha temple visit we walked across a lane adjescent to the right, just on a blinder, towards Hemkunta hill. Here one is astounded by the skills of rock carving work station.. It is like a canvas on which artist exhibits his painting. The granite was the main raw material for most types of monumental construction at the site – which was abundant in and around Hampi for over 200 kms. Traditionally, granite blocks were split by first cutting rows of closely spaced cubical holes into which wooden wedges were pounded. When wetted, the wedges expanded, thereby propagating deep cracks through the stone which split as per dimension required by the artisans. We found almost four temples, one was literally filled with water on the entrance, and other not so prominent temples, maybe created for low strata people of the times, even the poojary of the temple just gave us some insight, for which he was suitably tipped. The overnight heavy rain had made the rocky surface quite slippery, it was an adventure to climb Hemkunta hillock. The entire Hampi area, is visible in all its panaromic view. There is an acropolis type of two storey structure maybe for the kings to view. There is no description on this monument to my surprise. Once you start climbing down the steps which is neatly chiseled on the rocks it is adventurers delight, a neat landscaped garden leads to Sasvikalu Ganesha. It is a monolithic exposure of Lord Ganesha which is barricaded to prevent vandalism. Next we walk across we, come to Dodda Ganesh, which is again vandalized by Sultans, it is now a crude form, luckily the sanctum and veranda in not pillaged, the sculptures are exhuberance of dance and drama of the bygone era. Ugra Narasimha monolithic statue is located nearby along with Badavi Linga installed by a poor women. We got to know that autorikshaw guides are available @ Rs 250/- to take us around and we decided to hire such a guide. He spent 3 hours taking us around all the important landmark starting from Hemkunt Dodda Kalu Ganesh, Sasive Ganesh, Ugra Narasimha, Badavi Linga, Veerabhadra Temple, Lotus Mahal, Elephant’s Stable, Mahanavami Dibba, Hazaar Rama Temple & Vittala Temple. At the Mahanavmi Dibba, a celebration for Nine days was unfolded by the royalty. The king witnessed the cultural programmes such as folk dances, puppet show, fancy dress, fireworks, military parade, procession of horses and elephants, beginning with pooja to lord Durga. Even today the Government of Karnataka is trying to recreate the tradition of Vijayanagar empire by organizing HAMPI UTSAV in November first week every year. The Sultans wanted to build their own architectural edifice to match Vijaynagar rulers, Lotus Mahal, a summer resting palace was created. It had its own pond to cool the surroundings. Behind the Lotus Mahal, Elephant stables in 11 domed structure is built to house the royal animal. Once again this area is barricaded for renovation. Behind this stable if one is adventurous one can go on a trek to visit a temple winding into a mini forest. There is a small temple by the side of Lotus temple which on the outer wall of Lotus Mahal. After disposing the auto guide. We visited independently visited the balance places Sri Krishna temple, where one notices the vandalism of Sultans, who literally burnt down the temple along with people. It is rarely visited by tourist, the sculpture work is marvelous. Then went around back to Hazaar Rama temple, which is the ultimate exposure of the skills of the artisans on rock hewn walls, temples and pillars. It is a culmination of the golden era of Vijaynagar empire. It looks as if the Kings got into a mode of celeberation of life, without warfare. We find scenes from the epics Ramayana, hunting scenes, battleground warfare, courtesans entertaining the kings, hunting scene in olden days and in general description of all day to day events in the life of the royalty. The underground Shiva temple is a marvel. It is fed by water channels, which have entered the temple premises due to lack of conservation effort. Will ASI do some quick thinking otherwise it meet the fate of Musical pillar at Vittala temple. Museum at Kamalapura houses some of the restored sculptures and various other pieces of artwork is stored. Many foreign travelers scourge HAMPI in their quest for the hidden treasures of HAMPI by camping months together. Someday, someone is bound to hit the jackpot. Till then Hampi literally rocks.

this is an article on cave art for school. is it good for an article? is this good for a magazine article? More Cave Art Found in Chauvet, France! Early this week archaeologists were gazing through the Chauvet cave or Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave once more and discovered a secret opening in the south end of the cave. Archaeologist, Ragan Anne, found the opening when using a magnifying glass to study a drawing of a bison. She walked through the opening and the opening lead to a small room with hundreds of drawings. According to Anne it looked like the cave had not been visited in thousands of years. “The room was as dark as the ocean floor, with dust everywhere.” said Anne. “There was a huge mural on the wall on the right to the room’s door. It appeared to be a man killing a line with a spear.” Ragan Anne had also found several items of pottery, and bones from grizzly bears. Anne guessed that the art is from about 30,000B.C. She has continued to return to the cave but has found no other pieces of history. -Morgan Wierd November 1, 2007
