Roman Aqueduct Personal Narrative

As a matter of fact, the system of entrance and exit of the Colosseum is another important aspect to explore how significant the impact caused by the Roman social structure on the architecture design is. Corresponding to strict arrangement of seating, after arriving at the Colosseum, the spectators are able to find out the specified entrance and exit routs for different social classes.7 Colosseum has an efficient network of vaulted passageways consisting eighty archways serving as entrance and exit.8 Without a doubt, it is certain that the entrance for the emperor is separated from the gates opening for the crowds. Among the eighty archways, there is only one special entrance used by the most powerful men with a great contrast to the public entrance. The walls leading to the special entrance have rich decoration, such as painting and stuccoes.9 Additionally, in order to achieve the efficiency as much as possible, the “admission tokens”10 with numbers of the seats are created to “enable the public spectators to go directly to the proper entrance for reaching their own seats”.

King Tutankhamen better known as King Tut lived around 1341-1323 B.C. in Ancient Egypt. King Tut became the youngest Egyptian pharaoh at the age of 9 years old. Tut ruled in the period known as the New Kingdom. The New Kingdom was during the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties. After the Twentieth Dynasty Ancient Egypt came to an end when the last Ramasess died. There is no for sure answer on how Ancient Egypt ended but many believe there was a drought.

I hope to see museums make more concerted efforts to educate the public. Too many exhibits are of the “passive, didactic looking” than like the engaging Object Stories program (Dartt, Murawski). Exhibits should seek to tell untold narratives, and programs should be places of communication and cross-cultural encounters. For too long, difficult confrontations have been avoided, both inside the museum, and by dominant communities

For example, ancient China was located near many raiding nomadic groups, which led them to build the Great Wall of China. The Romans were located near mountains with an abundance of fresh water, leading to the invention of aqueducts as a way to transport the fresh water from the mountains down to the cities. In the early 20th century AD, the city of Los Angeles built a 419 mile long aqueduct to bring water to an area with little rainfall. All throughout history civilizations have been forced to adapt and come up with new ideas and concepts to combat problems caused by the area in which they are located

At the beginning of this summer, I embarked on a journey through history by going to the Carnegie Museum of Art and Natural History in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The museum is one of my favorites because of its variety of exhibits of history in both science and art. With every trip, the museum always has something new to offer. Going to the museum felt like a completely new experience with the new perspective I have coming from this class. There were many parts of history to look at, but the ones that stood out to me the most was their exhibit on Ancient Egypt. I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibit’s information on the artifacts and the funerary practices of this ancient

After arriving and going through the security screenings, I proceeded to go down the stairs, entering the exhibit itself. Before even observing anything specific, it was immediately realized that this was no typical museum. Most people know that upon arrival, but only when you first enter the exhibit do you realize that this museum is not one that inspects the past, but one that reminds us of it.

This past spring, I had the opportunity to spend the semester in Athens where I was able to visit many museums. One particular visit late in the semester still stands out as particularly moving. I was following my classmates as we made our way through the Byzantine and Christian Museum when we entered one room and one by one everyone’s gaze was drawn upward until the entire class was staring open-mouthed and with craned necks at a 13th century Byzantine dome. We were all left speechless at seeing the dome above us, as if it were still a part of a church. In fact, the entire room was designed in the typical manner of mirror the layout of the church they had originally come from. That skeleton of a Byzantine church resonated with the class, and

The aqueducts also gave birth to another landmark in building of early mega-structures: the arches. Through use of arches, aqueducts could be made taller and longer without using a lot of building materials. The aqueducts enabled expansion of Rome and helped keep the city clean. Through aqueducts the common Roman citizen had access to running water, a quantum leap in the civic amenities as per many experts.

     As I walked into the first gallery, I saw a wood sculpture that stood in the

Donald Trump is one of multiple 2016 presidential candidates, and he is favored by countless republican Americans.Trump has numerous great ideas and terrible ideas. There are innumerable debates on whether Donald Trump or the other candidates are suitable enough to be president or not.

The word “aqueduct” is Latin and comes from “aqua” and “ducere” meaning “to lead water”. The Roman aqueducts were a network of channels and pipes built above and below ground with a purpose to carry water across expanses of land. The concept of the Roman aqueducts is simple

Roman structures dominated the Roman values and power across the landscape of Europe. Many of these structures, especially the aqueducts, show significant evidence of the Roman architecture and engineering superiority. Not only that their structures are highly durable, standing monumentally over thousands of years, the cleverness in the design of their water distribution system is an achievement to be mesmerized, considering the 200 million gallons of water being supplied daily to the city of Rome herself by the early 4th century AD . This essay will investigate Pont du Gard as one of the most magnificent members of the Roman aqueducts, in regard to its design processes, along with the technological issues in relation to the aqueduct design.

Museums serve as a way to connect with the public on a large scale, and the knowledge held within exhibits can be a fruitful experience for those who choose to visit these institutions. Experiencing all that a museum has to offer, no matter how well intentioned, can at times be confusing and overwhelming to the individuals visiting the site. The Smithsonian’s Museum of the American Indian dedicates itself to Native Americans in North and South America, and worked tirelessly with varying tribes to create a new standard. Some visitors and scholars found their work to be successful in design and approach while others found it to be lacking in execution. This institution does not approach Native American history in a familiar fashion; however it does cover an expansive period of time, and produces a great amount of detail while generating powerful emotions.

The Roman Aqueduct is a waterway system which is one of the brilliant achievements in the ancient world which were built in order to carry out water from faraway sources into the cities and towns, and also to carry out water to areas where digging, burrowing, or surface grades presented problems, such as valleys. These aqueducts were also built for Providing water to public baths, latrines , fountains and private households, And for providing water for mining operations , milling , farms and gardens .

As I began to wander through the museum, I stumbled upon one of the best Egyptian collections I have ever seen, with the exception of special travelling
