Early History of Egypt 3100-1200BC.
[ send me this paper ]
(3 pp). Archaeological evidence suggests that,
Egypt was inhabited by hunters over 250,000 years
ago when the region was a green grassland. The
Paleolithic period around 25,000BC brought
climatic changes, which turned Egypt into a desert.
Desertification of Egypt was halted by rains,
which allowed communities of cultivators to settle
in Middle Egypt and the Nile Delta. Throughout
most of its pre-dynastic history Egypt encompassed
a multiplicity of settlements, which gradually
became small tribal kingdoms. These kingdoms
evolved into two loosely confederated states: one
encompassed the Nile valley up to the Delta
(with the Naqada dominating) with Hierakonpolis as
capital, represented by the deities Seth and White
Crown; the other encompassed the Delta, with Buto
as its capital and represented by the deities Horus
and Red Crown. The two kingdoms vied for power
over all the land of Egypt. Bibliography lists

Feng Shui (pronounced feng schway)
[ send me this paper ]
(20pp)For centuries, the Chinese have been using
Feng Shui to create harmonious living environments
that promote well-being (Rossbach 3). When man
aligns himself with the natural forces of good
energy he will experience good fortune, however,
if man aligns himself with disturbing energy, he
will be met with misfortune. The Chinese feel
that the art of Feng Shui goes beyond mystical
interior design, and is based on the placement of
fixtures as well as the necessity of fitting in
ones environment and the positive vibrations that
one receives as a result of that balance.

Greek Influences.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) The philosophy in classical Greece which
influenced three dimensional art forms of the
period, could be summed up in the words of
Protagoras: man is the measure of all things.
This combined with other philosophers' emphasis on
rational inquiry, and challenging the status quo,
created a society of intellectual and artistic
risk takers. Just as man's dignity and worth were
central Greek concepts, the human figure was the
principal motif in Greek art and architecture, in
both, it reflected a similar respect for balance.
