...Queen Hatshepsut was born in the 15th century B.C. She was the daughter of Thutmose I and Aahmes. Hatshepsut was married to Thutmose II, her half-brother. Upon Thutmose II death Thutmose III, the son of Thutmose II and his royal concubine, was too young to become pharaoh. Hatshepsut who was his step mother became pharaoh instead. Thutmose III envied Queen Hatshepsut and was eager to become the Pharaoh. Because of the dislike Thutmose III tried to erase any trace of the female Pharaoh that dressed as a male. The mystery surrounding the death of Queen Hatshepsut heightens when her remains disappeared for KV20. It is suggest that in the Third Intermediate Period, during the 21st or 22nd Dynasties, the mummy of Hatshepsut was relocated to KV60, which possibly was cut in the 18th Dynasty but never used, this tomb was incomplete and was not decorated. It is speculated that the tomb was be built for someone else. According to research it appears that the mummy of Hatshepsut was switch to the coffin of her wet nurse for security reason and as a sign of respect. After researching one would think that the hatred from Thutmose III played into the mysterious disappearance of the Pharaoh. I speculated that she was murdered. There were no signs of the Pharaoh until 1960s when translations of hieroglyphs and other discoveries brought clarity to the missing information in historical records. The mystery of the Queen mummy started to unfold in April 2007 in the tombs of Deir el-Bahril...

...Artistic style of Amarna Art in ancient Egypt usually contained youthful faces and perfectly sculpted bodies in a number of different poses that portrayed an ideal timeless and ageless image, and it remained that way for about 1500 years, until Akhenaton. Akhenaton’s art was able to bend and stretch the old framework so that it met the new demands of religion and politics, during the early years of the new kingdom. The depiction of Amenhotep III were depicted as portly, which was significantly different from the old fashion in which kings had been portrayed as slim, trim, youthful, and idealized. In Amenhotep IV statue depicted him with an elongated head is made taller with a high composite crown. The head and upper torso are interplay of oblique line, with diagonal fold of the nemes head cloth continuing into the facial features. Slit eyes with sharply projecting upper lids angle inward toward the nose. The distortions of each body part expressed a fundamental and deliberate change in the idea of how the body was constructed. The standards of the old kingdom divided the figure into 18 equal units of height. Under Amenhotep IV two more units were added to increase the height of the upper body The statues do remain traditional in the way they have crossed arms holding the crook and flail suggest association with Osiris. The statue of Nefertiti had pronounced breast and full hips, to show the fertility of nature. The Karnak reliefs were quite striking, with depictions...

...AMD Now AMD is currently ranked second, right behind Intel, in microprocessor chip sales. The stock market for AMD has also been performing well over the past year until recently there was a stock split, which in part was due to our development of the Athlon processor. I have read articles in the PC Magazine as well as other microprocessor expert’s blogs that all recognized the Athlon chip as the fastest and far more superior chip in the market today. In 2010, revenue increases are due to higher sales of seventh generation microprocessors and sale of flash memory devices; furthermore, higher margins, lower R&D expenses, and the absence of $32 million in restructuring charges, which is from 2008, reflect the increase in net income. AMD vs. Intel When we launched the k6 to compete with the Pentium II Processor, it was not a successful mission, except for price. It was however the most economic micro-processing chip on the market at that point in time. The problem with the chip was that it did not follow the Intel format and it needed different motherboards in order for it to run properly. AMD was hurt at this time but we made a comeback with the release of the new K6-2 processor. The K6-2 Processor was faster, better, and cheaper. The processor ran on a 100 MHz bus, while Intel’s chips still ran on only a 66 MHz bus, this made AMD’s chip much faster. AMD product was also cheaper than any Intel based Pentium II computer. At this point AMD was introduced into the gaming community...

...By considering the connections between the texts, we gain an insight into the way values have changed over time. To what extent is this true of the two texts you have studied? (Minimum any 2 scenes, 4 quotes and roughly 1200 words) It is the relationship between context, text and responder that helps the audience to create meaning from a text. Through Pacino recontextualising Shakespeare’s Richard III, the audience is able to develop a better understanding and newfound appreciation of Shakespeare’s text. By comparing the structure and language of both texts the responder is able to go on their own journey of understanding and interpretation. Pacino builds a bridge that enables us to cross over and understand Shakespeare’s context. Pacino develops our understanding of ‘Richard III’ and helps us to recognize how values can be encoded within a text. This can be seen through the different values, beliefs and attitudes towards women reflected in Richard III texts in Act 1 scene 2. The wooing of Lady Anne demonstrates the climax of Richard’s role as a villain. The stichomythic language engages the audience which allows us to be seduced by Richard, for example when Lady Anne say, ‘‘o wonderful, when devils tell the truth’ and Richard replies ‘More wonderful, when angels are so angry’. This short declarative verbal exchange creates momentum in the scene resulting in the audience being in a state of anticipation. It reveals the power of language to persuade and Richard is able to capture...

...be misunderstood.” Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke Communication in the United States Army is arguably the single most vital aspect in waging effective and overpowering warfare. On average the United States Army spends around 1.8billion dollars on communication equipment procurement and upkeep the shocking part is this number does not cover the cost of training individual soldiers or research and development of new communication technology’s it is exclusive to procurement and maintenance of equipment and materials. The history of communication in military’s goes back as far as written history with the first battle ever recorded in the 15th century BC the battle of Megiddo where the Egyptian forces under command of Pharaoh Thutmose III attacked a price of Kadesh who was holding the key city of Megiddo. The use of horns was recorded signaling the order to attack. Up in until the mid-19th century the common methods of communication ranged from a runner carrying a letter, a man on a horse taking a message hundreds of miles as was the case with the infamous Paul Revere, to being told what to do by the change of rhythm of a drum or horn, even flags have been widely used to signal units that were to attack to come forward or to convey a rally point for soldiers in the heat of battle. As archaic and non-functional as these methods seem to us today it wasn’t until the 1830s and the invention of the telegraph did communication in the army become electronic however the old tried...

...Psych“O My Gosh” By: Kody Barnes Stylized moments can be seen throughout a multitude of the some of the greatest movies ever made. Alfred Hitchcock was a master of the stylized moments, especially in the film Psycho (1960). The scene that is most prominently remembered in many people’s minds is the murder scene. The scene where Marion Crane is murdered is just jammed with stylized moments, and deserves to be further analyzed because of the thought Hitchcock put into directing this scene so magnificently. The scene begins with the shower still running, and water washing away all of the blood off of Marion. The camera starts on Marion’s leg before following a stream of blood and water mixing together. The scene also cuts away all music at this point, and only includes the background sound of the water flowing from the shower. The choice to avoid using non-diegetic music may have been a sign of how important the loss of life in this scene actually is to the movie. The camera continues panning left until it reaches the drain of the shower, and the blood and water swirl around the drain trying to stay out of the reach of the drain like humans do a “swirl” to avoid the loss of life. As the water is swirling the camera zooms toward the drain. The zooming of the camera towards the blood swirling down the drain shows a deeper meaning behind the loss of life that Marion is currently experiencing. As the water pours down the drain, and the camera zooms closer it leads to...

...This William Shakespeare play shines the spotlight on just how we are as humans. Shakespeare in one single play is able to beautifully showcase all of a humans raw emotions and ways of being. The displays of emotions as portrayed by the characters are finely tuned and on point. Shakespeare takes us in a rollercoaster ride of emotions; from happyness and joking, to the uttermost hatred and evilness in mankind. It is indeed a sort of museum of who we are as people and how we react to our sorroundings and events. We crack jokes, and are happy and joyful. We know how to love others and love some even more. That love is channeled through our acts and it is apparent when it is present. There is also friendship, something many of us seek just as much as love. Not all is always well, as one could assume from the title of the play itself. In the play we are re-assured that sometimes we are just not mentally prepared to face challenges put before us. This is a sort of weakness we have as humans, but at the same time demonstrates that we have great emotional range. Shakespeare also notes on the worst qualities of us with pinpoint accuracy, all used in the most dramatic of ways possible. We use greed, and lust as motives to create deception upon others for our own benefit. Sometimes even love itself is corrupted and used as motive for evil purposes. We are selfish and nobody is going to knock some sense into us to make us appreciate what we have ourselves that the other person does not. Even...

...Assess the reign of Amenhotep III Amenhotep III’s reign is often referred to the “Golden Age”, a time of political stability and economic prosperity for Egypt. With an abundance of tribute, booty, and access/exploitation of natural resources in conquered areas of Nubia, and its sphere of influence in Syria-Palestine; Egypt’s affluence only flourished. This enabled Amenhotep’s expanse/magnificent building programs, also resulting to advances in art and religion. Furthermore, changes in the importance and role of the queen progressed in this period; to the extent of Tiye’s deification, as evident in the temple at Sedeinga, built in dedication to her worship. Despite Amenhotep III’s reputation as a great diplomat, the effectiveness of his foreign policy- particularly the lack of military control over vassal states of Syria- Palestine, is contested as a precursor to the eventual loss of Egypt’s northern vassals with the emergence of the Hittites as a rival power during Akhenaten’s reign. Building schemes were not only of socio-political importance, but also vital in reinforcing the religious role of the pharaoh as the intermediary between the gods and the people of Egypt- he himself a reincarnation of Horus, or in Amenhotep’s case, Amun. His divine birth scene depicted at Luxor Temple of Amun giving the ankh “breath of life” to his mother, is significant in establishing his divine power as upholder of ma’at- the divinely established order of the universe. Moreover, Amenhotep’s...

...them; The good is oft interred with their bones.” It is shown that Shakespeare’s lead characters are concerned with their need for self-satisfaction, gratitude, and dignity. They lack the solicitude for human kindness and the thought of others. The more the audience analyzes the characters, the more they see the true ambition and reasoning for their evil deeds. During Shakespeare’s time, it wasn’t unusual for men to seek such power. For instance, Taming of the Shrew is a play that focuses on the desire for marriage; but the emotions of young couples were not the main consideration in courtship (McDonald 267). Katherina actions portray her as the shrew, but the audience knows her ultimate desire was to receive genuine love from a man. Richard III makes it abundantly clear that he desires to take over the English thrown and do whatever it takes to grasp it. Additionally, Hamlet seeks revenge and is motivated to do so by his supernatural spirit of his father (Sobran 45). The need for wealth, power, ambition, and greed lead many of Shakespeare’s characters to satisfy their own self gratitude over the basic ideas of human kindness. London, during the sixteenth century, was a time of extreme corruption. Gender roles were unequal, marriage was spurious, and seeking wealth or power of some sort became every man’s objective. The usual occupation for a woman during Shakespeare’s time was marriage and motherhood (McDonald 253). Although England was ruled by the strong-willed Elizabeth I, woman’s...

... Hamlet is a play, written by William Shakespeare in the year 1601. The film illustrates the director's interpretation, which is seen for example Hamlet. It then influences the audience understanding of the play and its plot or genre, because they now see and understand the play from the viewpoint of the directors. In this portrayal of the movie of hamlet (1996), he can be seen as an individual who is always in a constant battle between his emotions due to the enormous pressure placed on him. The movie was given a total rating of 4/5 mainly because it adheres more towards the play and story rather making it seem more modern. The setting of the film takes place in the medieval period during the 15th century. This movie uses Shakespearean texts. During Hamlet's first contest with his emotions, he is seen in a large room where he stands alone. This is significant because it helps express how he feels about his mother's marriage to Claudius (Derek Jacobi). Another key fact about this scene is the way Hamlet behaves when he advances toward the mirrors. As Hamlet begins his "To be or not to be—that is the question", he walks toward a mirror, which shows a reflection Hamlet's holding a dagger. With the stage setting turned towards the castle to produce a somewhat elegant atmosphere. Certain scenes in the movie progresses a bit slower than the others. One of the elements that Branagh used in the film was mostly the use of mirrors as referred to hamlet’s reflection of him holding a dagger...

...tile was "Queen Consort". As a queen she was depicted in images as feminine and delicate. The Diorite statue of Hatshepsut displays her as feminine, due to the soft facial features, breasts, slender waist and a tight fitting dress. Also Queen Hatshepsut wore the vulture crown of the goddess Nekhbet, since it was a traditional headdress for the queen. The title of Queen Consort influenced her reign because as a woman she understood that the pharaoh was never associated with goddesses, but gods, thus during her reign she promoted goddess such as Hathor and Maat. Hatshepsut realised that it was a man’s world, and even the goddess didn’t receive recognition, since they were women. Hatshepsut changed from Queen Consort to regent for Thutmose III (because he was too young to rule), her image gradually evolved from feminie characteristics to feminine characteristics with kingly accessories. Hatshepsut was depicted as a feminine queen in her Diorite statue, however after gaining the tile Regent she began to wear Nemes, Ureaus and a kilt which were all male pharaoh regalia. This can be seen through her Red Granite statue and limestone statue at Deir el- Bahri, because she is displayed with the female body; slender waist and breasts, however wearing the accessories of a male pharaoh. This change of image could be for Hatshepsut to exhibit the enhanced power she had gained a regent. Furthermore, Hatshepsut used her throne name to show her high royal status and power. Some scholars believed...
