Tomb

Artefacts at a burial site can portray what an ancient culture found important in life and their beliefs about death. Using evidence from the tomb of the First Emperor of China we can gain insight about life in China during his reign. Emperor Qin Shi Huang is arguably the greatest leader in Chinese history. Qin unified China, gave China its name, built large sections of the Great Wall of China, initiated sweeping reforms, improved roadways (Konstam, 2008, p. 123), produced weapons with blast furnaces

something that had interested to me. Then I had got the tomb of king tut's tomb I had thought that I would be boring, but Mrs.Clayton had convinced me to stay with it because when she said that it might have a curse so I had to keep it. I am guessing that their is a curse, but not a myth. If their is a curse it would be super cool, so if I ever go I could see if there is a curse.

The infamous tomb of Paris, one that can be described as morbidly beautiful. The Catacombs were not originally a place of bones and memorials, but a quarry.

During this time as they were digging through the quarries, they were having a difficult time with graves, with them becoming too full and overflowing. During a massive rainstorm, the city was in complete

In fact, every single soldier who has put a part into fighting for the USA should be remembered. I would definitely want to put the wreath on the stand because it would be an honor and also shows how our school and

A new Tomb Raider film has been announced, starring Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft. The new entry in the series brings Lara Croft back to the big screen for the first time since 2003. Croft, who is arguably the most famous heroine in gaming, has been subject to sexism throughout the history of the Tomb Raider series. Recent games have moved away from portraying Croft as a sex symbol. With Vikander attached to the film, producers can go either direction. They can feed into the sexism that once plagued

EXPLORE IN DETAIL A POEM WHICH EXPRESSES DOUBT OR UNCERTAINTY IN RELATIONSHIPS In Phillip Larkin’s An Arundel Tomb, the themes of doubt and uncertainty are juxtaposed against immortality and ever – lasting love. Written and published in 1964, Larkin’s ekphrastic poem depicts a pair of memorial effigies in Chichester Cathedral. Whilst an uncertain relationship between the earl and countess can be suggested through the phrases: ‘… scrap of history’ and ‘[t]heir final blazon’, a raw – emotional one
