II Fayum Fayum

Who were the people representing the Fayum paintings?

Under some interpretations of research conducted in Fayoum, the people portrayed in these paintings, must have been members of the aristocracy of the region, due to contact with the customs and traditions, Greco-Roman wanted to immortalize themselves in the fashion and style, which imposed the rule that dominated the known world.
For others, the people portrayed in Fayum, were Romans of the upper strata of society, who due to their jobs, migrated to the far frontiers of empire, they who were assimilating the traditions of ancient Egyptian mummification, only adding some parts of their customs and thus creating this cultural and artistic mix.
The confusion over the origin of the people that were introduced have been produced by the clothing, tools and features physical display these paintings.

children.

Here we can see features a fashion that can lead to confusing the origin of who was this child.

Child 1:




Although the physical features of children are similar to those of a European Caucasian children, the fashion of her hair reflected a strong Egyptian tradition. Children

Egyptians were almost completely cut his hair and only left them a lock of hair to the side of the head.
This type of haircut, was widely used during all periods of Egyptian history and had order differences as a child of which had already become an adult.

But this same child also wears a necklace around her neck. This necklace, called Bulla, was typical of Roman children and served a magical purpose.

Minors, wore this necklace to pretegerlos of "evil eye", ie against envy made curse or some other magical attempt to harm the wearer. When the child became an adult and put on the toga of a man, manly toga, he stopped to use this amulet.

The famous Greek historian and philosopher, Plutarch, a collar associated with this were significant different the Bulla and very special.

He said the noise, I had a penis-shaped, is used to inform the child who wore the necklace, was a free man and that any attempt to seduce or sexual assault, could be severely punished.

Mummies


MUMMIES

Fayum Fayum Oasis has been of great importance for understanding the world and the private life of Roman Egypt.
A good example of this, were the findings of a large number of Egyptian mummies from the Roman period, near the oasis. These discoveries have allowed a better understanding of the processes of mestizaje culture that occurred in this land, with the heavy inflow of Roman culture, through traders, armies, businessmen and politicians who were destined for this important province of the empire.

One of the most important traditions that existed in ancient Egypt was the mummification of their dead, because it was thought that the dead back to life after death and their bodies need to live in another world. Therefore, the bodies should be in perfect condition for the soul of the deceased could recognize his body and use again.





To protect the mummies, sarcophagi were used special, over time, were adorning themselves and becoming true concerning Egyptian art.
was both the significance that the beautification of the sarcophagus that can, thanks to fashion, form and style of the coffins, identify different historical periods of Pharaonic Egypt.



was right here in the art of beautifying the sarcophagus, which could see the cultural changes brought by contact with the Greco-Roman and Egyptian Fayum mummies are the best example of these cultural changes.

One of the first questions that appear when viewing some of the mummies of Fayum, is whether people who were mummified in this period, through the new style of Fayum, were Roman citizens who had completely assimilated Egyptian customs and traditions, or vice versa, were citizens who had copied Egyptian customs and Greco-Roman fashion and had been assimilated into their ancestral customs.

Do You Capitalize The Word Socialist?

Does cilización decline?

One of the conclusions that Hurricane Katrina left us is the easy identification of the "thin red line" that keeps the world we know. That is, our civilization. This made it very well plotted the English historian Timothy Garton in an article written on September 8 in the newspaper "The Guardian"
In this article, the historian gives us the impression that the abuses, violence and social breakdown that occurred in the city of New Orleans after the disaster left by Hurricane Katrina, only a small reflection of what will happen in the world, if it continues on a collision course social and break the current environment.
The central idea of \u200b\u200bthe historian is to show that what we see as stable, permanent and secure is our conception of our society and civilization, is much more fragile, thin and fragile than we think.
History has shown that after any breakage or loss of what the man believes as a sure thing, namely, providing food security and social stability, the man returns to its earliest stages, where only the strongest survive and in which Hobbes's views on humanity, become real.
All the selfishness of man comes through in these moments, where moral principles and ethics disappear towards the instinct of survival and personal satisfaction of all kinds.
Another man who was able to plot the break with a vengeance social parameters and show what is left of humans after the term of the order, was the writer William Golding in his book "The Lord of the Flies."
In this book, through the struggle for survival of a small group of boys stranded on a desert island, the author shows us the reality of the extraordinary human being. That is, we are animals first and foremost that in times where the parameters of civilization are broken by a situation, the human species again act like animals, instinctively seeking to satisfy their needs anyway.
In my opinion the conclusion reached by the historian Timothy Garton in his article, instead of being overly pessimistic, it is very realistic.
"... we can reach a pessimistic conclusion: that around the year 2000 the world reached the high point in the spread of civilization to which future generations will turn their gaze back with nostalgia and envy."
Anyone looking
detention more ancient history of man, can easily understand, how enduring civilizations believed, collapsed spectacularly unable to do anything about it, after destroying their environment or create social imbalances.

We will be expecting the same pessimistic future for our civilization.
Is there any way that humanity can break your patterns and break the myth of eternal return?
