6. Periodization and general characteristics of the culture of Ancient Egypt. Religion. Education and science. Literature

The civilization of Ancient Egypt is one of the oldest in the world. The history of the culture of Ancient Egypt is usually divided into the following periods:

1. Pre-dynastic period (IV millennium, 33-30 centuries BC);

2. Ancient Kingdom (XXX-XXIII centuries BC);

3. Middle Kingdom (XXI-XVIII centuries BC);

4. New Kingdom (XVI-XI centuries BC);

5. Late time (XI-332 BC).

For a long time, Egyptian culture developed in isolation. In the traditional world of the Eastern kingdoms, there were practically no changes. The funeral cult was of great importance in the religion of Ancient Egypt.

The characteristic features of the ancient Egyptian culture were the consciousness of power, the desire to preserve and increase it, the thirst for immortality. Art as a whole had a monumental character that overwhelmed the viewer.

The polytheism that existed in Egypt did not contribute to the centralization of the state. Pharaoh Amenhotep IV (XIV century BC) tried to carry out religious reforms in order to establish monotheism.

The most important feature of the religion and culture of ancient Egypt was the protest against death. The Egyptians believed in the immortality of the soul - this was the main doctrine of the Egyptian religion, and the passionate desire for immortality determined the whole worldview of the Egyptians. The desire for immortality became the basis for the emergence of the funeral cult, which played an extremely important role in the history of Ancient Egypt.

The emergence of Egyptian writing dates back to the XNUMXrd millennium BC. e. Despite the complexity of hieroglyphic writing, already in the most ancient period, not only priests, scribes and nobles were literate, but also builders. Science was an important part of Egyptian culture: without scientific knowledge, it was impossible to manage the economy, construction, military affairs, and government. Mathematics developed under the influence of practical needs. The Egyptians learned to accurately determine the timing of sowing, ripening and harvesting grain.

Significant advances have been made in medicine. The development of medical science was facilitated by the custom of mummification of corpses, thanks to which priests and doctors could study the anatomy of the human body and its internal organs.

By the II millennium BC. e. include the oldest geographical maps that have come down to us. Historical knowledge was also accumulated.

The civilization of Ancient Egypt left mankind a rich literary heritage. The most characteristic feature of ancient Egyptian literature is its inseparable connection with religion and the indispensable traditional character of ancient stories. Most of the literary works were the art form of myths.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

COOLiRIGBT - new IGBT family with switching frequency up to 200 kHz 19.01.2015

International Rectifier has developed a new family of COOLiRIGBT IGBT transistors with unique frequency characteristics - they can be switched at frequencies up to 200 kHz. Such frequency characteristics make the new family of IGBTs an excellent solution for building high-power DC-DC converters, power correctors (PFCs) and various high-power electrical systems in the automotive sector.

The transistors of the new family are designed for operating voltages up to 600 V and have a safe short-circuit operating area (SCSOA) with a width of at least 5 μs. The excellent frequency properties and low Vce(on) saturation voltage of the transistor provide high efficiency power conversion systems. The high maximum allowed working temperature of the crystal +175°C and the positive temperature coefficient make it easy to combine the transistors of the family into parallel assemblies and achieve high output powers of end devices. The frequency properties of COOLiRIGBT transistors provide them with a current advantage over modern MOSFETs even at frequencies above 100 kHz, which is confirmed by test results.

COOLiRIGBT family IGBTs are available in TO-247 package with standard or extended leads and comply with the AEQ-100 automotive standard as well as all the requirements of the current RoHS directive.
