The Wall of Constantine was the first wall of Constantinople, now modern Istanbul. Later on, a much grander and larger wall was built. This wall lasted and was not breached for 900 years, in fact, it is still visible in large parts today. Read "A Short History of Byzantium" by John Julius Norwich for an entertaining and insightful look at Constantinople.

The list comprises the seven most impressive monuments of the Ancient World, some of which barely survived to the Middle Ages.  For their builders, the Seven Wonders were a celebration of religion, mythology, art, power, and science. For us, they reflect the ability of humans to change the surrounding landscape by building massive yet beautiful structures, one of which stood the test of time to this very day. \n\n\nThe Great Pyramid of Giza \nThe Hanging Gardens of Babylon \nThe Statue of Zeus at Olympia \nThe Temple of Artemis at Ephesus \nThe Mausoleum at Halicarnassus \nThe Colossus of Rhodes \nThe Lighthouse of Alexandria

Constantine wanted a more centrally located, eastern capitol for the empire. It is on a peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides. Easy to defend.

The greatest empire of all time is the Roman Empire.

CONSTANTINE  (approximately 325 a.d.) \n\n(Not Yeshua. He started what was considered a jewish sect called the Followers Of The Way.)\n\n Constantine facilitated the move from Old Rome to New Rome (for economical & political reasons) which brought about what is called 'christianity'\n\n Constantine said he had a vision of a cross (an ancient symbol of worship of Tammuz..Nimrod reborn..according to his mother Semiramus who said an evergreen tree sprung up overnight.)  \n\n Constantine found a way to join the ancient pagans and sun worshippers to the followers of the way to create a larger army.  This spiritual adultry is what they call christianity.  \n\n It is a gray mix of (some, not all)of the followers of the way and pagan religious customs and traditions. Pagan idols were moved there and their names were changed to become "saints", christian (pagan) holidays were now christmas (winter solstace), eastor (fertility goddess), halloween (san heim), and Sunday worship (day of the unconquerable sun) instead of the Sabbath. \n\n The followers of the way that joined were told that they WOULD partake in the pagan holidays, but they could just tell themselves that winter solstace was really the messiah's birthday, that eastor (fertility goddess) was a celebration of the messiah rising from the dead, that SUNday was the day that the messiah left His tomb, etc.\n\n The followers of the way that refused to join in this spiritual adultry and abomination of the first commandment hid in caves to avoid being killed as "heretics" for refusing to stop keeping the real Sabbath and keeping the day of the Sun instead... Look up Sunday Blue Laws.\n\n COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE THAT YOU DO NOT BECOME PARTAKERS OF HER PLAGUES.....The Bride is making herself ready. She will remove every spot, wrinkle, and blemish to be ready for the bridegroom.\n\n   Yahweh bless you and keep you. \n   May His face shine upon you.

The myceanean culture had beautiful artwork. Lots of frescoes and pottery. I studied it for Classical Studies.\nCheck out http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/compass/ixbin/hixclient.exe?_IXDB_=compass&search-form=graphical/edu/main.html&submit-button=search\n\nOr the adult section if thats more relevant, there are links there. The more individual specimens you use on your assignment, including all the info u have on them, the higher your marks will be! GoodLuck!

Just my opinion ... At about the same time Constantine was grooming Christianity as the new state religion his mother found LOTS of things (sacred artifacts and relics) pertaining to the new faith, including but not limited to just the cross. Bluntly ... That seems very convenient to me. So ... No, I don't think so. Either history got re-written or someone played a good scam.

The Great Wall of China was built to protect the various dynasties from raids by Hunnic, Mongol, Turkic, and other nomadic tribes coming from areas in modern-day Mongolia and Manchuria. Several walls, also referred to as the Great Wall of China, were built since the 5th century BC, the most famous being the one built between 220 BC and 200 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang; this wall was located much further north than the current wall built during the Ming Dynasty, and little of it remains.\n\nThese links should help.

Off the top of my head what little I can remember from some of those Western Civ classes.....The height of the cathedral ceilings and the pointed arches of Gothic architecture are to draw the eye upward toward the heavens.....The mind should follow and dwell on heavenly, as opposed to Earthly, things.

Well, after Constantine conquered Rome, he legalized Christianity.  You could make the case that he's directly responsible for the Dark Ages, which began a little over a century later, a thousand years of superstition, ignorance, and repression of the arts and sciences, under religious rule.   More like de-civilzation and cultural devolvement.

LMAO...Of course it is...it's carbon-dated at well after the fall of the Roman empire, and is a beautiful piece of art.

yea alittle, hes considered one of the best tactitioners of all time. this is what made him GAYUS (emperor) when he came back to rome after conquering a war; his time as emperor (in those REPUBLIC days think of it like a presidential term) his term was about to be up. he didnt concede. so there was a civil war  , one side wanted to keep it as a REPUBLIC (meaning senators, emperor,emperor time length) which was mediated by pompeii a friend of julius caesar and julius caesor and the senator on his side/and the bought ones who wanted him to be DICTATOR for life and turn rome in2 an empire (dictator in that era was not looked as something denigrating.) but before this pompei was murdered in what now is Egypt trying to gather support there to defeat julius's army, he was double crossed by the very young king, pompei was decapitated. after this event a few people in the senate who wanted julius dead, and thought pompei could deliver on squashing julius's army with his own, planned his murder; he was murdered in march by casius and brutus, the latter being a son of one of his many mistresss'. his nephew octavius gathered enough political strength a few years after his uncles death, to become ruler. although he used another term and not EMPEROR.

it was built by several different emperors in different dynasties. It was built for few hundred years to prvent Mongolian's invasion.So no one really built the great wall of China but built by Chinese people from many dynasties.
