There have been many theories regarding how the pyramids at Giza were constructed. Most experts agree that they were constructed as burial monuments for pharaohs, but “how” these ancient people constructed monuments of such great size without modern machinery is a mystery which is still being debated. Write a three to four (3-4) paragraph essay in which you adequately address the topic above. Clearly state the “mystery” and provide a brief summary of at least two (2) reasonable and scholarly theories which could explain the mystery. Because some theories may sound far-fetched, include the source or promoter of each theory – such as a scientist, a historian, a theologian, etc. After summarizing at least two (2) scholarly theories, identify one (1) of the theories as the most plausible and provide at least two (2) convincing reasons why the theory you have chosen is the best one to explain the mystery. This will involve some critical reasoning skills on your part. Use at least two (2) sources plus the class textbook.

HST 104D World History to 500 CE Historical Argument Paper (15%) Due: Monday, 5/16/2016 Via Moodle, 10pm 1 Background: In this paper, you will expand your ability “to do history,” by working with multiple primary sources and secondary sources (scholarly essays) in order to understand a topic across multiple societies. For this paper, you will be comparing the ideal and practical roles of women in at least two Ancient and/or Classical Civilizations: Ancient Babylon, Ancient/Classical India, Han China, Classical Greece, or Rome. For this topic, there is an assigned collection of primary sources and scholarly essays (listed below and provided as pdfs in Moodle’s Assignments block). For this paper, you will need to analyze at least 3 of the primary sources in the collection and draw support for your primary source analysis from at least 2 of the essays in the collection. Your goal for this paper is to construct an argumentative analysis of the historical topic, guided by a thesis statement. Support for your interpretation should come from the primary sources themselves and the secondary sources (scholarly articles) in the collection, supplemented by your textbook, and class-notes (with limited outside references, if needed). Primary & Secondary Sources 1 Primary Sources: R.K. Narayan, ed. “From The Ramayana,” in Worlds of History: A Comparative Reader, ed. Kevin Reilly, 3 rd ed.

HUM 111 Student Version 1144 (1071 3-2-2014) Final Page 1 of 12 Assignment 1: Essay Due Week 4 and worth 100 points Choose one (1) of the topics below and develop a three to four (3-4) paragraph essay (of at least 250-500 words) which adequately address the topic you have chosen. Topic Choices • There have been many theories regarding how the pyramids at Giza were constructed. Most experts agree that they were constructed as burial monuments for pharaohs, but “how” these ancient people constructed monuments of such great size without modern machinery is a mystery which is still being debated. • No one can say for certain what happened to the Mayan people, but theories abound and include varied possible alternatives to explain the abrupt and mysterious disappearance of the Mayan civilization. • It is believed that Queen Hatshepsut dressed as a man to gain support of the Egyptians. After her death, her successor removed as many remnants of her rule as possible. Although a pharaoh, her mummified remains and tomb have never been conclusively found. • Tutankhamen died young, at around 18 years of age. However, his cause of death has not been confirmed. Did he die of an injury, of illness, or was he murdered? • Considered the “Mummy’s Curse”, a series of unexplainable, unfortunate, or tragic events that happened to the people who were present at the opening of Tutankhamen’s tomb. • The monumental size and complexity of the Tomb of Shihuangdi is astounding. It is believed that the workers were forced to remain inside the tomb when it was walled shut so they would not reveal the secrets of its construction. What was the emperor’s purpose for such an elaborate burial place? • Other topic choice recommended and approved by the professor and supported by the grading rubric. Write a three to four (3-4) paragraph paper in which you: 1. Clearly state the “mystery” and provide a brief summary of at least two (2) theories which could explain the mystery. Because some theories may sound far-fetched, include the source or promoter of each theory – such as a scientist, a historian, a theologian, etc. 2. Identify one (1) of the theories and provide at least two (2) convincing reasons why the theory you have chosen is the best one to explain the mystery. 3. Use at least two (2) sources besides the textbook. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA ...
