It found many books and extra-biblical fragments shed light on the religious community of Qumran. Several of the caves are comments from the Scriptures that are helpful. How were the Dead Sea Scrolls The story of this discovery is one of the most fascinating stories of modern times.In February or March 1947 a Bedouin shepherd whose name was Mohammed was bent on finding a lost goat. He threw a stone into a cave on a hill in the western part of the Dead Sea, about 12 miles south of Jericho. To his surprise, he heard the sound of pottery that are shattered. Upon investigation, he discovered a startling picture. On the floor of the cave were several large jars containing leather scrolls wrapped in linen. Because the vessels were carefully sealed, the scrolls had been preserved in excellent condition for nearly 1,900 years. (They were obviously placed there in 68 AD). Five of the scrolls found in the cave of the Dead Sea, were purchased by the Archbishop of the Syrian Orthodox Monastery in Jerusalem. Meanwhile, three other scrolls were purchased by Professor Sukenit of the Hebrew University of place. When first discovered the scrolls, they are not publicized.In November 1947, two days after Professor Sukenit purchased three rolls and two vessels from the cave, noted in his diary: “It could be that this was one of the greatest discoveries made in Palestine, a discovery that neither dreamed of. ” But these important words were not published at that time. Fortunately, in February 1948, the archbishop, who could not read Hebrew, he telephoned the American School of Oriental Research in Jerusalem and had regard to the rolls. Thanks to the good providence, the warden at that time a young scholar named John Trever, who was also an excellent amateur photographer. Through a hard and dedicated work photographing each column got great Isaiah scroll, which is eight meters long and 25 centimeters tall. He developed the negatives and a few copies sent by airmail to Dr. WFAlbright of Johns Hopkins, who was widely recognized as the dean of biblical archaeologists Americans. By return mail, Albright wrote: “My warmest congratulations on the greatest manuscript discovery of modern times! … What absolutely amazing discovery! And luckily there can be not the slightest doubt in the world about the genuineness of the manuscript. ” The date that he estimated was 100 BC Trever cites some other views of Albright: “There is no doubt in my mind that the writing is more archaic than the Nash Papyrus … I am of the opinion that the date is around 100 BC … ” The value of the Scrolls The oldest manuscripts we had were from 900 AD onwards. How do we ensure its accurate transmission from the time of Christ in the year 32 AD Now we know, thanks to archeology and the Dead Sea Scrolls.One of the scrolls were found was a complete manuscript of the Hebrew text of Isaiah.

At all times it is already in almost all nations of the earth, the different variants of the conversation with juggling, clowning, dance and acrobatics have been. In the German Middle Ages, jugglers are moving along with jugglers and musicians have been on the road. There was no fixed theaters. And the term “variety show” was not invented a long time! Jugglers had therefore a very low status in medieval society. They stood on a par with beggars, swindlers and prostitutes. Probably even that jugglers entertained the people to distraction in the markets, so that the thieves were able to pursue their craft from their own communities inconspicuous. At least, jugglers were not considered by their proximity to other migrant people is particularly high. The European history of juggling is closely linked with that of the variety shows.

The Artist James Rizzi

Born in Brooklyn, New York, studied the American artist James Rizzi at the University of Florida Art. Well, during his studies, he occupied himself with the combination of painting and sculpture and 3D graphics, for which he was later known. 1974, after completing his studies, he first presented his work at New York’s Brooklyn Museum to the public. After initial steps in the public his work became increasingly popular and was followed by many exhibitions in famous museums and galleries. James Rizzi busied himself over the years not only with painting but creating CD covers, porcelain, or even phone cards, as well as entire buildings, such as the Happy Rizzi House in Braunschweig. His style was distinguished by this very colorful and cheerful colors, childlike and naive subjects and radiates out from an almost ebullient optimism. Often his work is the subject of New York and its inhabitants to attack. In 3D graphics, through which he became particularly well known, objects are duplicates of the picture and with the help ofFoam bridges re-applied to the original image. The work passes through many different production phases, beginning with the first drawing with Rizzi’s ink, and screen printing of the originals, up to secure the objects on the “second level”. The viewer thus gets the impression that the image would consist of two levels, which are offset from each other. Rizzi was known in Germany through his great social commitment. Proceeds from various events and the sale of limited edition works donated Rizzi on such occasions in support of victims of devastating natural disasters or needy children.

Dark Age

Main article: Dark Ages “From the time of darkness at polis” This period corresponds to the emergence of Greece as a civilization from the eleventh century and the IX a. C. During the tenth century a. C. there was a process of urbanization in which several villages were grouped up to form cities like Sparta and Athens. The internal organization of these socio-political polis was dominated by primitive tribes or ethnos, households with clan (genos) and fraternities (phratries). These city-states were ruled by kings who exercised religious authority, military and political, except in Sparta where the authority of the kings began to be replaced by an authority composed of aristocratic landowners who could raise, maintain and ride their horses. Two other factors that formed a key role in the formation of Greek civilization was the establishment of a pan-Hellenic games like the Olympics that we know the “official” from the year 776 a. C.which underline the common features of the Greeks, and the two Homeric epics, Iliad and Odyssey, probably composed in the eighth century BCE C. The eighth century BCE C. was a revolutionary period for the formation of Greek civilization as the Phoenician alphabet is used to adapt the Greek language, it also improves the metallurgy of iron and agricultural techniques. This had resulted in the increase of population, which led to the need to migrate and establish colonies. These colonies metals and food sent to their mother countries and imported finished goods in return. This commercial prosperity, among other factors, led to the rapid establishment of the Greek city-state in the Aegean coast and its islands (at the end of that century there were more than 700 city-states).This wealth fueled increasingly yearning for political independence of the colonies regarding their cities, not always by peaceful means, which led to the creation of armies and military techniques improved as the heavy infantry (hoplites), which replaced the Previous hosts of cavalry. In general we can say that between the eighth and sixth centuries a. C., the Greek poleis experienced a transition from a monarchical system of government to an aristocracy. In the course of the social crisis of the seventh and sixth centuries a. C. went through a series of dictatorships (tyrants) and finally to a democratic government. Sparta followed a different course that kept the Dual Monarchy (diarchy), and after the War Medical developed a military organization that came to characterize it in the future.

The History Of Absinthe

Hence the name of the drink (the Latin for wormwood is Bezeichung is absinthium), also makes it easier to draw conclusions on the origin. Wormwood has been used since antiquity as a remedy. A common method for the production of herbal remedies is the extraction of active ingredients contained in the herbs with alcohol. These extracts are precursors of absinthe. The actual recipe is from the eighteenth century, however. The authorship is not possible to clearly determine, it is assured that the recipe in the Val-de-Travers in Switzerland (at that time was still being developed Prussia). Initially, the absinthe has been used primarily as a remedy, including by French military doctors in 1830 for the prevention of diseases caused by poor hygienic conditions. The return from the war contributed significantly to the popularity of absinthe in France, because they had learned to appreciate him as a beverage.Especially in the capital, there were many former soldiers who drank absinthe in the cafes. This custom became established soon in other parts of the population. For the popularity of absinthe drinking rituals saw beside, above all, the lowest price. Raw materials and production were low, also the absinthe was diluted with water so that it submitted a long glass. So he was very popular in the artistic and literary scene. Should have caused the absence of specific ingredients of Absinthe health damage, he was forbidden since 1915 in many places. Studies, however, were probably caused by contaminated raw materials and the high alcohol content, so the ban has now been lifted.
