There have therefore since the earliest times, the rulers tried to control the irrigation of the country other than the annual Nile flood. Numerous channels, often of vilen hundred kilometers through the country, but first they all serve their purpose, since it is managed by the dam the system to deliver even in the dry period water. The British deserve the credit for this gigantic work, since it was built from 1898 to 1902 at a cost of 75 million francs. The length of the dam is 1960m, it is 40m high and 30m wide and tapers upwards to 7m . The lake formed by the dam summarizes 1 billion and 65 million cubic meters of water and dammed the Nile water 20 m high on. The effect on the development and utilization of the underlying country has been one enormous, more than ½ million acres of land were again arable, even larger tracts could now be sprinkled throughout the year. In our image we see the water bubbling and foaming escapes his prison, from which it is discharged through 180 Torschleusen.

Artist: Jan Collaert I (Netherlandish, Antwerp ca. 1530-1581 Antwerp); After Jan van der Straet, called Stradanus (Netherlandish, Bruges 1523-1605 Florence). Dimensions: sheet: 10 5/8 x 7 7/8 in. (27 x 20 cm). Publisher: Published by Philips Galle (Netherlandish, Haarlem 1537-1612 Antwerp). Date: ca. 1600.Title plate from a print series entitled Nova Reperta (New Inventions of Modern Times) consisting of a title page and 19 plates, engraved by Jan Collaert I, after Jan van der Straet, called Stradanus, and published by Philips Galle.

alb3681147 Cuneiform tablet: administrative account of barley distribution with cylinder seal impression of a male figure, hunting dogs, and boars. Culture: Sumerian. Dimensions: 2.17 x 2.36 x 1.63 in. (5.5 x 6 x 4.15 cm). Date: ca. 3100-2900 B.C..Of the many legacies left by the ancient civilizations of southern Mesopotamia, the invention of writing is paramount. At the end of the fourth millennium B.C., written language developed in the region, first as pictographs and then evolving into abstract forms called cuneiform. The pictographs, like the ones on this tablet, are called proto-cuneiform and were drawn in the clay with a pointed implement. Circular impressions alongside the pictographs represented numerical symbols. Cuneiform (meaning wedge-shaped) script was written by pressing a reed pen or stylus with a wedge-shaped tip into a clay tablet. Clay, when dried to a somewhat hardened state, made a fine surface for writing, and when fired the records written on it became permanent.Early writing was used primarily as a means of recording and storing economic information. This tablet most likely documents grain distributed by a large temple, although the absence of verbs in early texts makes them difficult to interpret with certainty. In addition to the writing that appears on this tablet, the imagery of the cylinder seal, which was incompletely impressed on both faces and the edges of the tablet before it was inscribed, also records information. This seal apparently has not survived. The seal impression depicts a male figure guiding two dogs on a leash and hunting or herding boars in a reed marsh. He is the so-called priest-king, a male figure who can be identified by his dress and pose. Here he appears in his role as the good shepherd who protects flocks from wild predators.Adapted from, Art of the Ancient Near East: A Resource for Educators (2010).
