A Greek poet named Antipater of Sidon wrote a guidebook in around 100 BC listing the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, including the Colossus of Rhodes, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, Statue of Zeus, Lighthouse of Alexandria, and Temple of Artemis. In 2007, a worldwide vote announced new wonders to replace the original seven.

Monarchs (France, Austria)
France was ruled by a series of monarchs from 497 AD to 1793. Louis XIV established absolute rule and moved the royal court to Versailles in 1682, setting French culture as preeminent in Europe. Growing discontent among the peasant and middle classes led to the French Revolution in 1789. The storming of the Bastille prison sparked mass revolution across France, ushering in a Reign of Terror and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, who established the French Empire before his eventual defeat in 1815.
Northern Renaissance
The document discusses the spread of the Northern Renaissance from Italy to other parts of Europe in the 15th and 16th centuries. Key artists of the Northern Renaissance such as Jan van Eyck and Hieronymus Bosch are mentioned for their highly detailed realist style. The document also outlines some of the political, religious, and economic developments occurring in major European powers such as Spain, England, and the Netherlands during this period.
The Renaissance
The Renaissance period from 1400-1600 saw a rebirth of classical Greek and Roman influences in Europe. This cultural movement valued humanism and reason over religious doctrine, with individuals seen as capable of shaping their own destiny rather than being controlled by supernatural forces. Renaissance art reflected these ideals through its realistic depictions of the human body and natural world, as well as themes of beauty, balance, and human achievement. Famous artists like Michelangelo, da Vinci, Botticelli, and Raphael produced iconic works that demonstrated the period's artistic innovations and mastery of techniques like perspective, anatomy, and proportion.
The dark Ages Part 2
During the Dark Ages from 500-1000 AD, church-funded art in Europe served religious purposes and educated the illiterate masses. Altarpieces in churches typically featured figures of Mary or saints in stylized, symbolic poses. Secular art existed but little has survived. Meanwhile, other major civilizations like the Byzantine Empire, Islamic world, and Mayans flourished with stable governments and cultural achievements. Charlemagne briefly united parts of western Europe and revived classical Roman influences before his empire was divided after his death.
The Dark Ages
The Dark Ages spanned from around 500 AD to 1000 AD. This period followed the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and was characterized by economic and political instability, migrations of people, and a decline in arts, culture, and education. Christianity spread throughout Europe during this time, while paganism remained influential in northern regions. Monks worked to preserve knowledge by copying manuscripts in monasteries and helped reconstruct European society after the fall of Rome.
Rome
The document summarizes the founding and history of Rome. It describes how Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus and eventually grew to become a republic ruled by senators. Rome then expanded through war and conquered the Etruscans, Greeks, Carthaginians, and many other neighboring cultures. The republic transitioned into an empire under Caesar and later emperors like Augustus, who initiated the Pax Romana period of peace and prosperity that lasted over 200 years.
Roman Art & Architecture
Roman architecture evolved over time, with innovations like the arch and concrete allowing them to construct grand structures. The Romans advanced architectural forms originated by previous civilizations and developed techniques like the rounded arch. Major Roman constructions discussed include the Pont du Gard aqueduct, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and widespread use of mosaics in decorative art. These constructions showcase the Romans' architectural abilities and innovations in materials like brick and concrete.
Homer
Homer was a blind poet who lived between 1150 BC and 800 BC and is best known for writing down two epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, that describe events during the Trojan War and its aftermath. The Iliad focuses on Achilles and the battle of Troy, while The Odyssey describes Odysseus' long journey home after the war through encounters with monsters, gods, and spirits. Both poems feature many of the same characters and helped establish foundations of Greek mythology and culture.
Greek Theater
Greek theaters had common elements like the machina, a crane used to simulate flying, the ekkyklema, a wagon to reveal characters, and trap doors. Performances used masks to distinguish characters and amplify sound. There were three main types of Greek plays: comedies to amuse audiences through mistakes and silly situations; satyr plays that parodied myths with drunkenness and pranks; and tragedies that taught moral lessons through a hero's suffering caused by human and divine actions, often ending in misery. Some key playwrights included Aristophanes for comedy and Sophocles for his surviving tragedies including Oedipus Rex and Antigone.
Greek Philosophy
Socrates was a famous Greek philosopher who was put on trial in Athens and sentenced to death for corrupting the youth and not believing in the state gods. He refused to escape and chose death over breaking his social contract with Athens. Plato was a student of Socrates and wrote about his trial and teachings. Plato established the Academy where philosophy was taught and believed in an ideal world of forms behind the material one. Aristotle was a student of Plato who focused on studying and organizing the natural world through classification.
Greek Art
The document discusses the evolution of Greek art and sculpture from 3000 BC to 40 BC. It covers early Cycladic fertility symbols, the Kouros style of male figures from 700 BC, Karyatids columns from 420 BC, and famous sculptures such as the Statue of Poseidon from 460 BC, Discus Thrower from 450 BC, Apollo Belvedere from 350 BC, Venus de Milo from 100 BC, and Winged Victory of Samothrace from 190 BC and ending with Laocoon from 40 BC.
Ancient Greece
The document summarizes the history of ancient Greece from the Archaic period through the Hellenistic age. It describes the rise of the city-states and Athenian democracy. It highlights Athens' role in defeating the Persians and the cultural Golden Age that followed. It also discusses Sparta's militaristic society and the eventual decline of the city-states with Macedonian conquest. The spread of Greek culture and language throughout Alexander the Great's vast empire marked the Hellenistic period.
The Pre-Greek World
The document summarizes the Minoan civilization that dominated Crete from 2000-1400 BC. The Minoans created a safe, prosperous society with advanced plumbing and public works. They dominated trade and business in the region. Their palaces served as command centers for both commerce and culture. Though their written language has never been deciphered, Minoan culture emphasized beauty, sports, and equality. Suddenly around 1450 BC, their civilization mysteriously collapsed, with palaces abandoned overnight. The Mycenaeans then dominated mainland Greece until mysteriously disappearing themselves around 1200 BC.
Architecture (Post and Lintel/Pyramids)
The document lists different architectural structures from ancient Egypt including post and lintel structures, temples such as the Ramesseum and Temple of Hapshepsut, the Temple at Seti and Temple at Karnak, and the Temple of Amen-Re which featured Hypostyle Halls. It also mentions Ziggurats and Pyramids as well as the modern Transamerican Building in San Francisco.
Egypt Besides the Pyramids
The document discusses several types of Egyptian architecture besides pyramids, including obelisks which were dedicated to the sun god Ra and carved with hieroglyphics, temples which were made of thick brick walls and supported by stone columns in a post-and-lintel style, and the Great Sphinx of Giza which is the largest monolith statue in the world and oldest known monumental sculpture.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
