And when do you think the Christians will destroy their culture now that their whereabouts are known?
(Christians have destroyed countless cultures, precious artifacts and religions all over the world. For instance, in the Americas the clergy destroyed indigenous Indian cultures and forced them to abandon their beliefs and adopt theirs. They destroyed virtually all of their religious idols and artifacts)
I need to make an “artifact” from that tribe and do a news report on it. Any ideass?

A piece of a beautiful mosaic that was one of the wonders of the second century world. Called the Nile Mosaic of Palestrina, it depicts Nile scenes from Egypt all the way to Ethiopia.The Greek Letters above the reptilian animal in question are: KROKODILOPARDALIS which is literally translated Crocodile-Leopard:

A similar petroglyph was been found in Arizona’s Havasupai Canyon:

There are stories of a plesiosaur-like creature seen in Queensland, Australia. Both aboriginal peoples around Lake Galilee and tribes farther up to the north tell of a long-necked animal with a large body and flippers:

The dragons that every culture from every corner of the globe talk about, know what I’m saaaayin’?
The petroglyphs are touted as the real deal, as the “glaze” over them was put there from the natural weathering.
I purchased a Kachina (from a reputable and licensed Indian Trader of Kachinas and Artifacts) and the bottom of the wood block base has the artists name, and a number. I was told this number is like a Social Security number and the dealer called it something else.. like a tribal number???
I searched everywhere I can think of on the net, and now I ask for other tips for websites that can tell me where i would find this info.
Unfortunately, the artist only put his/her last name, Begay, and that is a very common name. The “tribal number” (or whatever that number is called) is 403211
By the way, in case you are curious, it is the Bear and it has leather and fur over the carved wood figure. Quite beautiful.
Thanks for any help.
First answerer- actually you helped a little. I googled around and found that I probably have a Navajo Kachina, or katsina, doll. The furr and other features are not similar to the Hopi way of making their dolls. Thanks for the extra boost.
The headline is pretty self explanitory.
I have a project for social studies and my explorer is Henry Hudson.
I already have tons of information. But now i need to make a treasure chest that has artifacts that are related to henry that i can describe how.
What are some good ideas?
-I already have a map, arrow from indians, and time line.
WHAT ELSE?
i collect petrified wood & bones,also tomahawks scrapers found around indian villages i need to find work in this field people think im weird
Despite the fact that the Egyptians used gold in their jewelry for thousands of years as did the indians of South America why didn’t the American indians use it?

*** I need to make a correction. I found out a little more about this carved doll. It is more likely to be from the Navajo tribe, not the Hopis. The Kachina of the Hopi tribe tend to NOT use a lot of Furr and other features common to my kachina, or katsina, doll.
Southeast Asia was definetly Indianized.

I want to know if the Indian derived artifacts, civilization and culture found in Southeast Asia was due to Indian colonizers or just trade and acculturation.
Thank You.
What are some common perceptions and misconceptions about archaeology and/or archaeologists?
Thus far, I’ve come up with the following:
Perceptions:
* Archaeologists work outdoors
* Archaeologists travel
* Archaeologists research and find artifacts of the past
* Some archaeologists become professors
Misconceptions
* Because of Indiana Jones, some believe that all archaeologists lead dangerous, adventerous careers
* Some believe that archaeologists dig up dinosaurs
* Some believe that archaeologists are only interested in Indian artifacts
Anything else?
Thanks!
