Did Cleopatra rule Egypt while George Washington was the president of the U.S.?

No, Cleopatra did not rule Egypt while George Washington was president of the United States. Cleopatra VII, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, died in 30 BC, while George Washington served as president from 1789 to 1797. There is a significant gap of over 1,700 years between their respective times of influence.


How did Cleopatra affect American history?

Cleopatra, the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, influenced American history primarily through her portrayal in literature, art, and popular culture, which shaped perceptions of female power and leadership. Her dramatic life and romantic entanglements with figures like Julius Caesar and Mark Antony became symbolic of political intrigue and seduction, inspiring countless works that reflect themes of ambition and rivalry. Additionally, her legacy contributed to the fascination with ancient civilizations that helped fuel the American Renaissance and the broader cultural movements of the 19th century. Ultimately, Cleopatra's story continues to resonate in discussions of gender and power dynamics in contemporary society.


What is the Most expensive movie in the world?

In costs of production, three of the Big guns- and two were essentially Box-Office Dinosaurs were: Cleopatra- the Elizabeth Taylor version of the Queen of the Nile, the older Solomon and Sheba- plagued with accidents, cost overruns- and one lead actor died during production- had to be replaced by Mr. Brynner. Many called Solomon and Sheba , the ( Jewish Cleopatra)- costumes and chariots showed a similarity- and getting a bit more modern- and on the deep side indeed- Titanic had staggering, indeed Titanic production costs- but did not sink at the box office- quite the opposite. so it goes with the flow.


What did the adena Indian tribe use the mounds for?

The Adena were not actually a tribe, but what archaeologists call a "tradition." This means that there were certain cultural traits that were prevalent in a geographic region at a certain time. The Adena tradition lasted from roughly 1000 B.C. to A.D.1-200 (depending on area) in the Ohio Valley and beyond. In some areas, such as the Hocking River Valley of Southeast Ohio, the Adena tradition persisted through the time of the Hopewell tradition to extend to the later dates. The mounds that were created by the Adena were ceremonial burial mounds. From what can be gathered from archaeological evidence, some bodies (but not all) were placed in wooden huts along with ceremonial artifacts like beads, copper and flints, and the huts were then burned. Not all burials used the huts, though. Several bodies -- cremated, flexed (foetal or other cramped position) and extended (laying flat) -- are often found in the same stratigraphic layer of the mound. Often, the bodies were sprinkled with red ochre, graphite or manganese dioxide and then covered in dirt. This is the first layer of the mound. The process was repeated over many years and the mound grew in size. We can see many of these and be impressed by their size, but we must remember that erosion and human activity have decreased both the number and size of mounds.


How have attitudes and practices surrounding death changed in Britain today?

Throughout the centuries people's attitudes and pratices towards death have changed greatly, due to society changing. This takes into consideration such things as, the change in modern medicine, culture and growth in society today, as going back many centuries, it was only the rich that could afford a proper burial and last rights given to them. And throughout society the cost of medicine and care were limited to the rich. Therefore the poor people in society died young not being able to afford medicine and care. There burials were often crude, being sent to a poppers grave was often the case, whereby they were granted a burial, but without any send off or epitaph to commemorate their life and death. This was once called a No-mans grave. Peoples attitudes were non- chalont in these eras, as it was common practice and just the way of their society and what they were used to. Although the changes been made to society's infa- structure and social economy throughout the years has changed society vastly in practices , it is therefore not only the rich who qualify for this civil right of being buried , but everyones right. Now we see everyone from all backgrounds in todays society are entitled to this common practice; whether rich, poor, colour, creed or religion. Nowadays in society it is a persons right to choose what they want done with their remenants after death, whether its given to further scientific experiment or the decision to be cremated. Therefore the legal system control most of the protocol surrounding death and its practices. As death has to be certified so that no foul play has come about and therefore a certificated warrant has to be given for any individuals occurrance of death. This is so as to lie any criminal deviancy, intent and purpose to rest. Also an individuals preference and want comes into play through the legal system of making a coherent will, therefore also making practices and attitudes change in respect to death by allowing it to be a civilised procedure. This also acts as decision making for legal hearings and the distribution of a persons, personal property, land and possessions without any agrivation attached, although wills can be testified agianst if seen fit by others (i.e.) family, friends or councils (etc) So Yes, things have improved and changed greatly in today's society in the UK pertaining to death. It's not such a taboo subject as years gone by, now we see society expressing an interest and talking more about death and the circumstances surrounding death and their life after death. People now feel they need to know where to go for help and support with the loss and grief of a loved one, to finding equilibrium in life and moving onwards. Therefore nowadays there are more bereavment sites and organizations out there that provide counselling for the many varied reasons and to many different people. It is through the establishment of these organizations that have also changed people's attitudes in society, which has ultimately benefited people to learn from experience and grow from it.
