Exploring Ancient Mysteries
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 great urban Mayan civilization, but theories abound and include varied possible alternatives to explain the relatively abrupt and mysterious disappearance of the Mayan civilization.
Tutankhamen died young, at approximately eighteen (18) years of age. However, his cause of death has been the subject of quite varied scholarly theories and conclusions. Did he die of an injury, of illness, of murder, or something else?.
Minoan Crete was a major civilization in its time, but several theories have been advanced to explain its demise, including speculations associating it with mythical Atlantis. What were the causes of Minoan Civilization's decline?
Great Zimbabwe is an enormous complex of structures in East Africa. Since the builders and occupants left no written records, several theories have developed as to the identity of its builders and the functions of the structures. Which theory makes the most sense?
The monumental size and complexity of the Tomb of Shihuangdi is astounding, yet its location and construction details were to be kept secret. What was the emperor’s purpose for such an elaborate, secret burial place?
Write a three to four (3-4) paragraph paper in which you:
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. (Three [3] sources total as the minimum)
Note:
Wikipedia and other similar Websites do not qualify as academic resources. You are highly encouraged to use the Resource Center tab at the top of your Blackboard page.
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 style format.

APA Requirements for This Class Much of the information be.docxarmitageclaire49
APA Requirements for This Class
Much of the information below comes from the APA Tutorial, available through
the Effective Writing Center, under the Resources tab above. For this class, the
main focus of APA formatting is on citations and references, and papers with
incorrect citations and/or references will lose points on the grade.
APA format is more than simply using in-text citations and full references. Writers
apply APA format to their work for the following reasons:
Providing in-text citations and full references tells readers what sources
were used to write an article or book.
Using APA format ensures consistency in the conventions writers use and
readers expect in publications.
Including in-text citations and full references credits writers in their field for
the research they have conducted.
Using APA format protects writers from being plagiarized and from
plagiarizing others.
The reference list gives the reader the information necessary to locate and
retrieve any source you cite in your paper. Full references are always listed on
a separate page at the end of a paper and match one-to-one with a citation that
appears in a paper. Every source you cite in the paper must appear in your
reference list; and, every entry in the reference list must be cited in your text. If
you review other sources, but do not cite them, they are not included in the
reference list. The reference page is labeled as: References and is centered
and bolded and always plural. Each reference appears in alphabetical order by
the first word, and no numbering is used. Each entry is single spaced, with the
first line at the margin and the second and subsequent lines indented one-half
inch. Use double spacing between entries.

Plagiarism What It is and How to Recognize and Avoid It W.docxrandymartin91030
Plagiarism: What It is and How to Recognize and Avoid It
What is Plagiarism and Why is it Important?
We are continually engaged with other people's ideas: we read them in texts, hear them in lecture, discuss
them in class, and incorporate them into our own writing. As a result, it is very important that we give
credit where it is due. Plagiarism is using others' ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the
source of that information.
How Can Students Avoid Plagiarism?
To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use
• another person's idea, opinion, or theory;
• any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings--any pieces of information--that are not common
knowledge;
• quotations of another person's actual spoken or written words; or
• paraphrase of another person's spoken or written words.
How to Recognize Unacceptable and Acceptable Paraphrases
Here's the ORIGINAL text, from page 1 of Lizzie Borden: A Case Book of Family and Crime in the 1890s
by Joyce Williams et al.:
The rise of industry, the growth of cities, and the expansion of the population were the three great
developments of late nineteenth century American history. As new, larger, steam-powered factories
became a feature of the American landscape in the East, they transformed farm hands into industrial
laborers, and provided jobs for a rising tide of immigrants. With industry came urbanization the growth of
large cities (like Fall River, Massachusetts, where the Bordens lived) which became the centers of
production as well as of commerce and trade.
Here's an UNACCEPTABLE paraphrase that is plagiarism:
The increase of industry, the growth of cities, and the explosion of the population
were three large factors of nineteenth century America. As steam-driven companies
became more visible in the eastern part of the country, they changed farm hands into
factory workers and provided jobs for the large wave of immigrants. With industry came
the growth of large cities like Fall River where the Bordens lived which turned into
centers of commerce and trade as well as production.
What makes this passage plagiarism?
• the writer has only changed around a few words and phrases, or changed the order of the
original's sentences.
• the writer has failed to cite a source for any of the ideas or facts.
If you do either or both of these things, you are plagiarizing.
NOTE: This paragraph is also problematic because it changes the sense of several sentences (for
example, "steam-driven companies" in sentence two misses the original's emphasis on factories).
Here's an ACCEPTABLE paraphrase:
Fall River, where the Borden family lived, was typical of northeastern industrial
cities of the nineteenth century. Steam-powered production had shifted labor from
agriculture to manufacturing, and as immigrants arrived in the US, they found work in
these new factories. As a result, populations grew, and large urban areas arose. Fall

the setting in which the scene takes place.
