"One of the ways in which the art, history and architecture of ancient cultures can be understood and investigated is through what is left behind to be examined. Some of the most permanent artifacts that are available for examination are ancient tombs which have stood the test to time. From these tombs one can not only understand and form opinions of the architecture and historical context of the time, but the content of many tombs reveals a plethora of information and insight into the culture being studied. Many experts concur with this view and emphasize the archelogivla significance of ancient tombs, monuments and burial sites."

Abstract
This paper is an in-depth analysis of Arnold's Hellenism and Hebraism whereby the two philosophies are compared. The author concludes that it is equally important to strive to know beauty (Hellenism) as to endeavor to be virtuous and moral (Hebraism), as long as one can achieve a balance of the two.

From the Paper
"Lifestyles in England during the reign of Queen Victoria exhibited conflicting philosophical viewpoints. The success of imperialism had contributed to the wealth, decadence, and frivolity of many upper class citizens. This lifestyle exhibited an excess of what Matthew Arnold, in his book Culture and Anarchy, terms Hellenism. Yet there were also those who condemned this existence based on sensuality and aesthetics, going so far as to say that any entertainment was sinful. These people proposed that the ultimate ideal is a life spent solely in pursuit of piety and righteousness. This belief, most apparent in the Puritan doctrine, is what Arnold calls Hebraism."

Abstract
This paper looks at the social issues surrounding the Discovery Channel's documentary regarding the supposed discovery of the tomb of Jesus. The paper ends with a personal view. The paper also discusses the sociological study of religion.

From the Paper
"Now if Christ is preached as raised from the dead how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead. But if there is no resurrection of the dead then Christ has not been raised. If Christ has not been raised then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. (Cor) Unlike the concern raised in the scripture above, John stone states that the sociological..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the way that tomb construction developed and changed in Egypt. The paper looks at three periods - The Old Kingdom (c2780-2260 BC); Middle Kingdom (c1997 -1650 BC) and New Kingdom (1552-1069 BC) - in order to compare the methods.

From the Paper
"Because of the incredible power and authority of the king at this time, his tomb was designed to exemplify his grandeur as well as serve as the final resting-place for his body and earthly possessions. In addition, the tomb complex was also the focal point of the king's cult for ritual prayer and for worship. Unfortunately, the roles of the king's tomb proved to nullify each other; the builders tried to "hide" the king's body and possessions while at the same time allowing the public in to worship him at the same time. As a result, the whereabouts of the king's treasure were common knowledge and over time each of these tombs was stripped of everything of value, not excluding the king's corpse itself? "

Abstract
This paper discusses two studies of Michelangelo's Magnifici Tomb in the Medici Chapel towards complementary, as opposed to different, conclusions. The studies reviewed are Andrew Morrogh's "The Magnifici Tomb - a Key Project in Michelangelo's Architectural
Career" and Estelle Lingo's "The Evolution of Michelangelo's Magnifici Tomb - Program versus Process in the Iconography of the Medici Chapel".
The paper relates that both studies are authoritative and careful contributions to the study of the Medici Chapel, the tomb in question and the career of Michelangelo. The paper also asserts that their different vantage points on the Magnifici Tomb help along what should be a broad approach to any artifact or installation, investigating origins, features and salient details in relation to context, remembering that there shall forever be different opinions which can be powerful guides towards personal appreciation and further study.

From the Paper
"The errors made by Michelangelo included the level at which the viewer examined them, the focal point of three statues too low, a statue of the Madonna, on the other hand, requiring a higher viewing point. (p.594) As Morrogh concluded, imperfections and all, Michelangelo had been able to exercise considerable license in what he designed so tentatively and in its results, thanks to the nature of his patron. Michelangelo had mixed opinions concerning the tradition of classicism that would have satisfied many sculptors of his day, but his results were not just innovative but 'difficult' as Morrogh comments, still apt to draw mixed reviews from those examining the Magnifici Tomb in the present. From this article, the reader obtains much detail and most readers will enjoy the illustrations of very different drawings to which Morrogh refers, a familiar aspect of the Medici Chapel revealed to have been a much changing or even piecemeal affairs thanks to the patronage of Pope Clement who seems to have recognized Michelangelo's originality and given it free reign. One leaves this article with the impression of having enjoyed a 'solid' few pages of scholarship, the author plainly knowing far more on Italian Renaissance design and architecture of which this article indicates one quite small topic."

Abstract
In this paper, two opposing philosophical outlooks known as Hellenism and Hebraism are analyzed in the context of various literary works of late Victorian England. The paper describes the two philosophical movements in depth, citing additional literary figures of the time and using their works as references for the conflicting outlooks of Hebraism and Hellenism. Christina Rossetti's poem "Goblin Market" is the focus of these works, in which she urges the readers to be mindful of moral standards. The paper also includes a plot summary and character analysis and a discussion of Rosetti's use of meter and rhyme. The paper concludes by highlighting Rosetti's belief that a carefully balanced practice of the best aspects of the two ideas as illustrated by "Goblin Market," enables one to achieve a state of complete peace and beauty.

"It seems, then, that the Hellenistic revival of the time was sorely needed, but what was it about their society that caused such an ideological shift? In his book The Greek Heritage in Victorian Britain, Frank M. Turner states that "[t]he British citizenry was enmeshed in the narrow morality of a latter-day Puritanism, and this confinement prevented them from attempting to realize their best selves and from nurturing a climate of opinion in which learning, appreciation of beauty, and a unified culture might flourish" (Turner 18). That is to say, British society had become mechanical in its Hebraic adherence to the standards of moral living which governed everyday life."

Abstract
This paper discusses how in his poetry and prose, the Victorian essayist and author Matthew Arnold frequently makes use of binaries, or the classical rhetorical style of constructing a series of two contrasting or opposing ideas, to illustrate the speaker's main point. The paper then reviews Arnold's essay on modern religion, which is based upon the contrasts of Hebraism and Hellenism.

From the Paper
"The idea that Judaism is rigidly tied to the adherence to the law, sadly, can also be implicitly, if not explicitly connected to the Hebraic refusal to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah. Not only does Arnold's analysis of the Hebraic impulse towards the truth sound reductive regarding Jewish culture but Stephen Prickett suggests that by creating such a binary opposition of the Hebraic and the Hellenic, Arnold attempts to filter out what he disliked in the Christian religion by creating the false binary of Hebraism, even while both the Greek and Hebraic ancient cultures were considerably more complex than Arnold's reading: "At the heart of Matthew Arnold's writings, whether literary, sociological, historical, or biblical, was the attempt to create an enlightened and forward-looking religion. For him this meant a Christianity that was 'scientific,' 'non-Semitic,' Indo-European, and Aryan in quality," that is, in Arnold's own words, containing "more of Plato and Socrates than Joshua and David." (Pickett, 2001; Arnold 1869)"

Abstract
The paper offers the historical background to Hellenization, including the influences of the early Greek colonies on the Italian peninsula, the Greek slaves captured during the Punic Wars, and finally the Roman colonization of Greece. Then the paper looks at the emergence of Latin literature in the aftermath of the Roman invasion and how it imitates Greek models. The paper provides an in-depth examination of the plays of Plautus and how they lay the foundations for a new and democratic art form. Plautus' plays are then contrasted to those of Terence.

From the Paper
"Rome may have conquered and colonized Greece, but in terms of culture it was the Greeks who conquered Rome, especially so in the intellectual and artistic sphere. Before coming in contact with Greece there was hardly a literature that could be called Roman. Even after the initial exposure there was little tendency of Romans to emulate the Greeks in the practice of letters. The Greeks had colonial outposts on the Italian peninsula as far back as the 6th century BC, from which point the Greek influence must be reckoned. Yet it is only in the third century BC that we notice a presence of Latin literature. In religion and political institutions the Greek influence was felt far earlier. A century after Solon was being elected arch-archon of Athens democracy and republicanism came to Rome. Institutions emerged that began to ape those found in Athens and the Greek polis - the city state."
