Wikipedia Trail from Lillith to

While watching the video "Seven Secrets of the Goddess", a name came up that I seem to hear more often than previously. The name is Lilith. Lilith apparently is a figure in Jewish mythology but it is believed that she is linked to even older mythology in ancient Mesopotamia literature and religion. Ancient Mesopotamian religion was practiced between the years 3500 B.C and 400 A.D. The Sumerians of Mesopotamia were the first peoples to create city-states, and they called each ruler of these city-states, "ensi". The word "ensi" translates to "lord of the plowland". During the Third Dynasty of Ur, ensi referred to the governor of the kingdom rather than the small city states. Ensi's during this time were often associated with more power than in previous times. During the Uruk period however, they had the most power. The Uruk period took place between 4000- 3100 B.C, often refereed to as the Copper Age.

Wikipedia Trail from Jasper National Park to Paleo-Eskimo

With my winter vacation quickly approaching I was curious about Jasper National Park in Canada. My boyfriend and I have plans to visit Jasper National Park and spend a few days there. From the wikipedia trail starting with Jasper, I went to the next page that talks about the Arctic Ocean as this is a desolate place that has unknown history and fascinates me. It is the shallowest of the oceans and is almost completely surrounded by land masses. Some of the oldest history that has been discovered dates back to the Pre-Dorset times which were 3200- 850 B.C. During this time the Paleo-Eskimo culture lived in the arctic. Paleo-Eskimo peoples lived in what is now modern day Russia, across North America and into Greenland. They were gradually displaced by the Dorset culture.

Wikipedia Trails from Thanksgiving to Seasonal Tropical Forest

With the holidays fast approaching and my love for Thanksgiving I wanted to know some more information of the holiday. The holiday is observed in Canada, the US, the Caribbean Islands and Liberia. I found it interesting and had no knowledge that Libera celebrated Thanksgiving! Liberia is officially known as the Republic of Libera and is located in Africa. About 40% of the Upper Guinean forests are located in Liberia. The forest is a tropical seasonal forest. A Seasonal tropical forest is a forest that has deciduous trees, semi-evergreens, and tropical mixed which is also known as monsoon.

Wikipedia Trail From Daylight Saving Times to

I was intersted in learning about Daylight Savings Time and wanted to learn a bit more since I knew that not everybody took part in it. I found out that the countries who did were Canada, US, Chile, Brazil, most of Europe, a part of Australia and New Zealand all do. George Hudson was the man who originally proposed the change in 1895. He was a British born in New Zealand and was an entomologist which is the study of insects. The word is derived from the word "entomon" which means "insect". Entomon is a word fromAncient Greece. Ancient Greek was from 9th century BCE to 6th century CE. Divided between the Archaic period and the Hellenistic period.

Wikipedia Trail From Mount Meru to Iron Age

My interest for Mount Meru started when I read a storybook discussing the mountain and mythology of it. I scrolled down on that page and found a word that I was unfamiliar with. The word was yojana and is a type of mesaurement for distance used in ancient India. Yojana equates to be about 12-15 km and was used during the Vedic period. The Vedic period was between 1500 BCE- 500 BCE, the culture was tribal and pastoral. The end of the period challenged the Kuru Kingdom which was Indo-Aryan tribal union during the Vedic period and was located in the north during the Iron Age India. Iron Age in India is the prehistorical period.
