The author Laura Resau intersperses elements of the Spanish and Mixteco languages throughout the book, What the Moon Saw. My lifelong love of reading has given me experience understanding and interpreting the meaning of foreign words. Therefore, when I encountered Spanish or Mixteco words throughout the book I was able to use context clues to determine the meaning of the word if I didn’t recognize or remember it from anything I may of learned in Spanish class. From what I read, I think that the Spanish and Mixtec languages differ from English prominently through the use of punctuation and capitalization, sound, and word meanings. To begin with, the Spanish and Mixteco languages use punctuation that differs from the punctuation used in the English

In the texts, both authors use descriptive writing with a positive connotation to convey the historical importance of the discoveries.
Scholar, Sara Parcak, in a Ted Talk video, “Archeology from space,” recounts her childhood memories of searching for sand dollars on the beach and how it grew into her love for archeology. Then, she goes on to explain how her naked eye was not enough to research the grand ancient cities that were once along the Nile River, which led to the use satellite imagery. Sara Parcak used one of the eight ways of knowing while conducting her research on finding the ancient egyptian city of Itjtawy: reason. First, to understand reason its definition must be known.
Where did the water come from? The significance of this discovery was that new theories about how there came to be water on the moon were conceived (comets, Mars-sized planet that collided with the Earth to make the moon). The discoverers relied on the work of others
Female primates tend to give birth to fewer offspring as well as spending more time raising said offspring as these offspring have a much longer period of development. The cause for this longer period of development is due to the large sizes of the brains of primates. The first primate residence pattern is polygynous, which is where one male mates with multiple females. Then there’s polyandrous where one female mates with multiple males.
The antiquated Egyptians trusted in a wide range of divine beings and goddesses. Every one with their own part to play in keeping up peace and agreement over the land. A few divine beings and goddesses partook in creation, some brought the surge each year, some offered security, and some dealt with individuals after they kicked the bucket.

The moon: a ball of rock orbiting earth. Although the moon has been thoroughly researched, countless mysteries still remain. In addition to theories about the moon 's composition and interior structure, the most important question remains unanswered: "Where did the moon come from?" In an attempt to better understand the origin of the moon, the Capture Theory, Fission Theory, Impact Theory, and, the most logical, Sister Theory, have been discussed. A video of the moon landing, in addition to further geological evidence, has been collected and used as challenging points towards questioning its originality.
Imagine your mother is dead to you and under the title of “mother”, she is an empty void like the craters in the moon. The poem Moon written by Kathleen Jamie in 2012 emphasises the relationship between the speaker and the speaker’s mother. Jamie uses metaphor, imagery and symbolism to demonstrate the speaker’s and the speaker’s mother’s troubled relationship. The moon is an extended metaphor for the speaker’s mother. The speaker and mother has a rocky relationship, to the extent the speaker say that the moon is “not [the speaker’s] mother.”
Egypt is warm and sunny so the Egyptians relied and used the world’s largest river- the Nile River for so many uses: for trading, transportation, watering crops and for farming, cooking, and cleaning. But the Nile River had floods that weren’t brutal so they could be able to farm without worrying that the floods might damage the crops. In the spring they have heavy rains so the Nile spilled over the banks. So when the water went down, there was fertile mud.

To feel better, the Egyptians would feed the individual foul smelling and tasting remedies, making the spirit leave the said body. Overall Sarton explained the way Egyptians practiced medicine very well.
The lunar phase or phase of the moon is the shape of the illuminated (sunlit) portion of the Moon as seen by an observer on Earth. The lunar phases change cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing positions of the Moon and Sun relative to the Earth. The Moon 's rotation is tidally locked by the Earth 's gravity, therefore the same lunar surface always faces Earth. This face is variously sunlit depending on the position of the Moon in its orbit.
