The wоrd Egypt instаntly brings imаges оf pyrаmids tо mind. Although the Giza pyramids are renowned monuments towering nearly 500 feet out of the desert sand, they pose more questions than they answer about this ancient land. Most of our knowledge about Egyptian civilization foods, employment, leisure activities, and social customs comes from a different source. Mastabas, the decorated tombs of the upper class, are our best place for information about the lives that ancient Egyptians led. The ancient Egyptians meticulously preserved human remains because they believed that the souls of the dead visited the realm of the living. The mummy of the deceased was the resting place for that traveling soul. The financial status of the dead person determined where his or her mummy would be stored. Wealthy pharaohs could afford to build pyramids; people with less money, however, settled for mastabas. Pyramids certainly attract attention, as their builders hoped they would do. These monuments rise majestically out of the desert, tapering to a point that signals the way to the realm of Ra, the sun god. Their height and style indicated to all who saw them the prestige and wealth of the dead king buried inside. Pyramids, though, leave us little information about the culture. Scholars debate whether slaves or paid laborers built them. UFO enthusiasts claim that extraterrestrials arranged to have the half-ton bricks transported to the 481-foot top. The inside of the largest Egyptian pyramid, that of the pharaoh Khufu, has no interior decoration, except the king's name carved one time into a wall. Mastabas, on the other hand, contain a wealth of information. These multi-room tombs, many long since buried by the constantly shifting desert sand, contain elaborate wall decorations that show family, friends, and servants participating in all areas of life. Take, for example, the mastaba of Ptahhotep, a dignitary who lived over 4,000 years ago. The carvings that appear in this tomb are so detailed that a visitor can tell what type of knot an ancient fisherman used to secure a trap to his boat. Based on the carvings from a single wall in Ptahhotep's mastaba, we know that the ancient Egyptians drank wine and ate beef, for scenes show servants cultivating and fermenting grapes and slaughtering cattle. In addition to the food acquired from domesticated animals, we can observe the Egyptians hunting wild game in the desert. From meticulous drawings, we know that they used greyhound-like dogs to bring down a variety of hoofed animals. And scenes of gymnasts practicing acrobatics let us glean information about leisure activities of these ancient people. Mastaba might not be a word that comes immediately to mind when people think of Egypt. Without the excavation of these tombs, however, we would have little information about the daily lives of ancient Egyptians. Because of the highly decorated interior walls, we have snapshots of everyday activities that allow us to imagine how these people spent their days.

If sоmeоne cаlls yоu а Luddite, it is probаbly because you have complained, for whatever reason, about the dangers or failures of technology. Perhaps you have denounced the automobile industry because a failed computer chip causes your car to stall in the middle of heavy traffic. Or you threatened to cancel your credit card because it wouldnt work at the pay-at-the-pump gas station. Or you complained loudly when your employer fired you because the computer was more efficient than you. The New Columbia Encyclopedia tells us that Luddites were workers in England who, between 1811 and 1816, destroyed textile machines they felt caused reduced wages and unemployment. They rioted in the name of a mythical figure called Ned Ludd, or King Ludd. Since then, Luddite has come to mean anyone opposed to technological change. Computer hackers, for example, use technology to develop and release viruses whose purpose is to infect and, thus, destroy business and corporate computer files. Most of todays Luddites, however, arent violent. They dont riot, dont break into factories or warehouses and smash computers or other machinery. Suspecting that technology is more of a threat than a blessing, they secretly, sometimes loudly, denounce technological developments. Their hearts sing when the slide projector jams or repeats the same frame over and over. They cheer when the company computer comes down with a virus. They smirk when they read that pornography is readily available on the Internet and that pederasts and other unsavory types have access to children through computer chat rooms. In short, pointing to the negative byproducts of technology, they purse their lips, nod, and mutter, So what did we expect? Nonviolent Luddites may grudgingly admit that microwaves and automatic washers, dryers, and dishwashers have removed most of the chore from family chores. They concede that technological contributions to medical science provide many people better health and longer life. Although they acknowledge that the automobile expedites their commutes from home to college to work and home again, they emphasize that the proliferation of cars and trucks is responsible for air pollution, traffic jams, road rage, and highway carnage. Although they grant that airplanes allow virtually anyone to tour the world, they point out that they also provide an avenue for drug smugglers and are relatively easy targets for hijackers and assassins. Although they admit to the efficacy of atomic energy, they nevertheless point to the potential mass-destruction in atomic weapons. Luddites bemoan the fact that ATM machines and bank and fast-food drive-throughs eliminate the personal in customer relations. Finally, although agreeing that a cell phone is a handy tool for a driver stranded on a lonely stretch of interstate, the Luddite fears and deplores the cell phones used by drivers who, instead of watching the road, dial their phones as they weave in and out of traffic.
