...Heptarchy 缘由-----The Heptarchy (Greek: ἑπτά + ἀρχή seven + realm) is a collective name applied to the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of south, east, and central Great Britain during late antiquity【ænˈtɪkwɪti】古代: and the early Middle Ages, conventionally identified as seven: Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Sussex and Wessex. The Anglo-Saxon kingdoms eventually unified into the Kingdom of England. The term has been in use since the 16th century, but the initial idea that there were seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms is attributed to the English historian Henry of Huntingdon in the 12th century and was first used in his Historia Anglorum.[1] The heptarchy did not consider any of the Sub-Roman Brythonic realms such as Elmet, Rheged, Strathclyde, Ebrauc, Bryneich and Gododdin, and during the same period, what are now Ireland, Scotland and Wales were also divided into comparable petty kingdoms. |Contents | |[hide] | |1 Unification | |2 Anglo-Saxon England heptarchy | |2.1 Other minor kingdoms and territories | |3 Attributed Arms | |4 See also ...

...Discuss China in terms of being the "MIDDLE KINGDOM," Population growth issues, and industralization. ** The term "middle kingdom" is the translation of the Chinese word which literally means "middle kingdom" or "central country." As with most countries, the Chinese tendency was to view themselves as superior to and more advanced than their neighbors. They believed they had been specially chosen to enjoy dominion over neighboring lands. The term Middle Kingdom itself dates from between 1000 to 600 B.C. We see a resurgence in this concept of being the central country in China today. Their strong position economically, their growing military strength and their antagonism toward Taiwan are all viewed with some apprehension by their immediate neighbors and by the world at large. Most believe that China was slow to industrialize. That it could have done so a lot faster. Eventually all of those developed nations shifted from working on agriculture to skilled manufacturers who worked in facilities. The only thing that seemed to hold China back was the fact that there policies favored agriculture. Working with their hands doing manual labor on the land had always been good to them. Many great historians give credit to the different belief systems that both China and Europe, their late arrival into industrialization against that of Britain and other European countries. China in Mandarin Chinese...

...Egypt is a country linking Northeast Africa with the Middle East. Old monuments sit along the Nile River Valley. Without the Nile, Egypt would just be the barren river that surrounds it. The Nile rises in the highlands of Ethiopia and the lakes of central Africa. Egypt had two distinct regions, upper Egypt in the South and lower Egypt in the North. Scholars divide the history of ancient Egypt into three main periods: The Old Kingdom(2575b.c.-2130b.b.), The Middle Kingdom(1938b.c.-1630b.c.), and the New Kingdom(1539b.c.-1075b.c.). During the Old Kingdom, Egyptian Kings, later called pharaohs, organized a strong, centralized state. During the Middle Kingdom, the central state ended the powers and privileges of the regional aristocrats....

...Egyptians grew flax along the Nile, which was a plant whose fibers were used for clothing. Another feature of Egypt was that it was broken into two regions, upper and lower. Upper Egypt was located south and extended from the Nile’s first waterfall to within one-hundred miles of the Mediterranean Sea. Lower Egypt was stationed north and covered the delta region. In about 3100 B.C., King Menes of Upper Egypt unified both regions. The timeframe of Ancient Egypt was split into three periods: the Old Kingdom,...

...The pyramid of Menkaure, which was built during the Old Kingdom, is very important in Egyptian architecture. Menkaure is in Gizeh, Egypt (2490-2472 BCE) and was made as a tomb during the fourth dynasty to serve for a king. More importantly, it was made in coordinate to a compass with four sides aiming north, south, east, and west. This became a very complex structure due to the mathematical proportions of how the pyramid was built. Furthermore, the meaning of pyramid became a symbolic depiction of a sun and displayed significant importance for the afterlife. In addition, the pyramids were known as "a ladder" to a god king to descend from the heavens. Overall, the structure of pyramids became ideal to the Old Kingdom to serve for their kings,...

...Predynastic period, which lasted until about 3100 BC, had begun. Organized settlements have been found and the art produced during this time was discovered mainly in their cemeteries. Objects were put into the grave with the body for the use of the spirit in the next life, even though preserving a large number of personal goods as pottery, tools, and weapons. The pottery is often decorated with a painting that reflects the life of the time. Images of birds and animals common to the Nile. Copper was used in small quantities for beads and simple tools, but most things were chipped from stone. Cosmetics made of stone were used for grinding eye paint. Small sculptures and pictures were either carved from ivory and bone or modeled in clay. Old Kingdom Sculpture From the early figures of clay, bone, and ivory in the Predynastic period, Egyptian sculpture developed quickly. By the time of Zoser large statues of the rulers were made as resting places for their spirits. Egyptian sculpture is best described by the terms cubic and frontal. The block of stone was first made rectangular; the design of the figure was then drawn on the front and the two sides. The resulting statue was meant to be seen mainly from the front. Since it was meant to be a timeless image meant to show the essence of the person sculpted, there was no need for it to be sculpted in the side. The Egyptian artist was not interested in showing movement. Standing figures are not shown as if they were walking but rather...

...History The history of Africa begins with the prehistory of Africa and the emergence of Homo sapiens in East Africa, continuing into the present as a patchwork of diverse and politically developing nation states. Some early evidence of agriculture in Africa dates from 16,000 BCE,[1] and metallurgy from about 4000 BCE. The recorded history of early civilization arose in Egypt, and later in Nubia, the Maghreb and the Horn of Africa. During the Middle Ages, Islam spread through the regions. Crossing the Maghreb and the Sahel, a major center of Muslim culture was Timbuktu. Some notable pre-colonial states and societies in Africa include the Nok culture, Mali Empire, Ashanti Empire, Kingdom of Mapungubwe, Kingdom of Sine, Kingdom of Saloum, Kingdom of Baol, Kingdom of Zimbabwe, Kingdom of Kongo, Ancient Carthage, Numidia, Mauretania, theAksumite Empire, the Ajuuraan State and the Adal Sultanate. From the late 15th century, Europeans and Arabs took slaves from West, Central and Southeast Africa overseas in the African slave trade.[2] European colonization of Africa developed rapidly in the Scramble for Africaof the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Following struggles for independence in many parts of the continent, as well as a weakened Europe after the Second World War, decolonization took place. Africa's history has been challenging for researchers in the field of African studies because of the scarcity of written sources in large parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Scholarly techniques...

Corruption and rebellions were strong rulers.Egyptian armies occupied Nubia also known as Kush. About 1700 B.C., foreign invaders called Hyksos occupied the Nile delta delta region. Although the Hyksos took over the government of Egypt, there was little conflict between the new rulers and the Egyptian people.The Egyptians mastered new military technology. The Hyksos, in turn, were impressed by the Egyptian civilization. The new Egyptian leaders arose and established the New KIngdom.

During the New KIngdom, the first female ruler named, Hatshepsut. She exercised all the rights of a...

...The Kingdom of Armenian Cilicia was essentially a major epicenter of trade and cultural interaction through the foreign policy objectives of the Rubenid and Hetum Dynasties in the formation of the kingdom during Middle Ages. The transcultural interaction between European, Mongolian, Seljuk, Byzantine, and Mamluk cultures became part of Greater Armenia throughout the 11th to the 13th centuries. Transcultural ideology is defined by Ortiz (1947) when identifies Cuba as another example of the multiple ways in which differing cultures met at international epicenters, such as the kingdom of Armenian Cilicia, over many centuries. This transcultural ideology provides a basis for the massive influx of cultural interactions, which occur at an international...

...revolution the first forms of government were established. The Neolithic revolution set the stage for the beginning of civilizations. 2. The Egyptian history was so long that it was divided into three major periods, the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom. Each of these periods had major accomplishments of their own. The Old Kingdom in Egypt was one of the first great civilizations of history. The Old Kingdom is most known for Egypts biggest attraction, the Pyramids. The Pyramids were built by the Pharaoh Khufu. The most famous, the Pyramid of Giza, is the modern symbol of Egypt. The later part of the Old Kingdom was filled with chaos, which is why the Middle Kingdom is called the period of reunification. During the Middle Kingdom art, literature, and architecture played a big role in the culture. Many important temples and shrines were built during this period. The Egyptian classical age occurred during the Middle Kingdom. However, Egypt’s power reached its height during the New Kingdom. During the New Kingdom king Akhenaten established a new religious order to worship the sun god Aten. The building of tombs of the valley of kings also happened in this period. Most of the famous kings and pharaoh including King Tutankhamun, ruled during the New Kingdom. 3. The Climate and the Indus River of India played an important role of India’s early civilizations.

...Ancient Egyptian Military A trumpet blares and two masses of armed men rush toward each other. It’s a battle between the ancient Egyptian Military and the Nubian Military. Egypt began forming an army in the Middle Kingdom. When Egypt was without a pharaoh, they fought each other with weapons such as bows, clubs, and spears. They wore linen kilts and leather straps around their chest. Without their army, ancient Egypt wouldn’t have become one of the greatest civilizations in the world. The army was very important to the ancient Egyptians. It was considered to have formed when Nebhepethre Mentuhotep I united Egypt in the Middle Kingdom. Men who wanted to join the military gathered by the mayor of the village. The governor of the territory chose the best men for recruitment. Men of the upper class became charioteers. Scribes started as pay clerks but later advanced to Scribe of Recruits. Soldiers first trained in barracks. They went home when they weren’t needed. Even if they were at home, they shared the booty and plunder that was taken by the army. Before fighting, the Egyptians and their opponents agreed on the place and time of battle. There were no ambushes and they fought in broad daylight on open ground. There was a trumpet signal to begin when both sides were ready. They usually fought on land but the occasional warship was used. Soldiers used medicine to heal battle wounds. They used bandages for broken bones, needles for surgery, and moldy bread to stop cuts from...
