21st century - 21st century (20th century - 21st century - 22nd century - other centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 21st Century is the current century, lasting from 2001-2100. The twenty-first century is the first century of the third millennium (2001 - 3000). The increasing prevalence of global communications and encounters with other calendars (Islamic calendar, Chinese calendar, Persian calendar, Hebrew calendar) suggest that the terms "21st century" and "the third millennium" have a substantial cultural bias. Some futurists suggest simply abandoning the idea of "centuries", setting the start date back to the beginning of human urbanization in the 4th millennium BC, making this the seventh millennium. Within that, some suggest also adopting a cyclic time model based on global climate change, which.

History of the Levant - present-day nations and states. The Stone age The earliest known permanent settlements in the Levant were established by the Natufian culture. The Bronze age The first cities started developing in southern Mesopotamia during the 4th millennium BC. With these ties of religion began to replace ties of kinship as the basis for society. Each city had a patron god, worshipped in a massive central temple called a ziggurat, and was ruled by a priest-king (ishakku). Society became more segmented and specialized and capable of coordinated projects like irrigation and warfare. Along with cities came a number of advances in technology. By around the 31st century BC, writing, the wheel, and other such innovations had been introduced. By now the Sumerian Peoples of south Mesopotamia were all organized into a variety of.
Highlander - the Highlander of the title. Born in Scotland (specifically, in the Scottish Highlands) in the 16th century, MacLeod is an Immortal: he does not age and cannot die unless he is decapitated. When only one Immortal is left, he or she will gain "The Prize", the precise nature of which is left open for the viewer to speculate on. This leads to a series of sword-fights between Immortals. When the one cuts off the other's head, he gains all the other's powers and abilities. The Highlander films and the television series that were spun off from it have attracted a devoted following and led to the creation of a great deal of fan fiction, much of it available on the Internet. Typical of the series is the use of flashbacks from.

Beginning about the second century BC, the Tiwanakan culture developed at the southern end of Lake Titicaca. This culture, centered around and named for the great city of Tiwanaku, developed advanced architectural and agricultural techniques before it disappeared around 1200 AD, probably because of extended drought. Roughly contemporaneous with the Tiwanakan culture, the Moxos in the eastern lowlands and the Mollos north of present-day La Paz also developed advanced agricultural societies that had dissipated by the 13th century. In about 1450, the Quechua-speaking Incas entered the area of modern highland Bolivia and.
Founding of Rome - times or, at least, the then-official versions of many historical events. Latium and central Italy It is supposed (with a certain probability) that in the age between the 10th and 8th centuries BC, central Italy was populated by the two main groups into which the Italics had divided: Osco-Umbri and Latins. Latium Vetus (the ancient territory of Latium) was populated by Etruscanss, Volsci, Sabins, Equi, Rutuli, and Ausonians. They came from different areas of central Italy, including current Tuscany, Marches, and groups came from Liguria. Among them, the Latins developed an organised society, which was the main source of the people who settled Rome. The Latins originally stayed in Colli Albani (the Alban hills, modern Castelli - 20 to 50 miles southeast of the Capitoline hill); later, they moved down towards.
Empire - term is derived from the Latin imperium, which was coined in what was possibly the most famous example of this sort of political structure, the Roman Empire founded in 31 BC. The actual political concept, however, predates the Romans by several thousand years. Probably the first example was the Akkadian Empire of Sargon of Akkad. An empire can take several forms. Empires have been traditionally ruled by powerful monarchies under the leadership of a hereditary (or in some cases, self-appointed) emperor. Historically, most empires came into being as the result of a militarily strong state conquering other states and incorporating them into a larger political union. Often these multi-ethnic entities were strengthened by the introduction of a common religion, as was the case under Constantine I of the Roman Empire. The.

Amorite - occupied the land east and west of the Jordan river; their king, Og, being described as the last "of the remnant of the giants" (Deut. 3:11). The old name is an ethnic term, evidently to be connected with the terms Amurru and Amar, used by Assyria and Egypt respectively. In the spelling Mar-tu, the name is as old as the first Babylonian dynasty, but from the 15th century BC and downwards its syllabic equivalent Amurru is applied primarily to the land extending northwards of Palestine as far as Kadesh on the Orontes. Following on the heels of the Afroasiatic Agade dynasty and the decline of the Sumerian language in Messopotamia, the Levant archeological era known alternately either as MB1 or Intermediate EB-MB was the time of their most famous incursions.

Conventional Egyptian chronology - of ancient Egypt, taking into account well accepted developments during the 20th century but not including any of the major revision proposals that have also been made in that time. See also Revised Chronology, Egyptian chronology, Pharaoh. Even within a single work, often archeologists will offer several possible dates or even several whole chronologies as possibilities. Consequently, there may be discrepancies between dates shown here and in articles on particular rulers. Often there are also several possible spellings of the names. Predynastic Egypt is from Late Predynastic and Early Dynastic Egypt. The dates of Dynasties 1 to 10 are from Baines and Malek, Atlas of Ancient Egypt (Oxford, 1980). The dates of Dynasties 11 to 20 are from Kitchen, "The Basics of Egyptian Chronology in Relation to the Bronze Age", in.
Crime - the related punishment (then, on the degree of offense that the forbidden behaviour caused), in delicts and violations. In general, in most western systems, the definition of a crime requires the existing intention of committing it (voluntas necandi) in the author, therefore it is usually not punished when this intention is missing or when the author has not a complete mental sanity or is under a certain age. In many systems the penal responsibility is personal, and the retroactivity of the penal law is forbidden so that no one can be punished for a fact that the penal law didn't already describe as a crime at the moment in which the crime was committed. The definition of a crime generally reflects the current attitudes prevalent in a society. For example, possession.

Ship naming and launching - event with a heritage reaching backward into the dim recesses of recorded history. Just as the passage of years has witnessed momentous changes in ships, so also has the christening-launching ceremonial form we know today evolved from earlier practices. Nevertheless, the tradition, meaning, and spiritual overtones remain ever constant. The vastness, power, and unpredictability of the sea must certainly have awed the first sailors to venture far from shore. Instinctively, they would seek divine protection for themselves and their craft. A Babylonian narrative dating from the 3rd millennium BC describes the completion of a ship: Openings to the water I stopped; I searched for cracks and the wanting parts I fixed: Three sari of bitumen I poured over the outside; To the gods I caused oxen to be sacrificed. Egyptians, Greeks,.
