Origins of the Elite and the emergence of Tribe Zalim Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt

 

Lausanne - The ancient Egyptian rulers live in luxury, decorate themselves with gold and precious stones, using scented perfume, and even equip themselves with a treasure in the grave.

Whereas before, the Egyptian egalitarian society. How can hierarchical and despotic system emerged from the hunting community and gatherers  Recent studies have mentioned, there are two things that lie behind them. Technology and geography - the rise of agriculture and the factors that surrounded desert location.

"Basically there is no other place to go," said study author Simon Powers, a postdoctoral researcher in ecology and evolution from the University of Lausanne in Switzerland as "Lock individuals in depotisme."

Despotism is a form of government with a single ruler, either individually or oligarchy, ruling with absolute political power.

Ancient Egypt is just one example of the transition of society into a hierarchical equivalent. During the Neolithic or Stone Age Period - which began about 10 thousand years ago - agriculture began to replace hunting and gathering as a way to get food. At the same time, a relatively equal society began to break up in the social classes. Emerged the clear leader. In many cases, the ruler has absolute power.

A number of other researchers offered the theory that agriculture allows one to hoard food and resources, with the ability they began to gather a following. However, no one can give convincing explanation of how the transition from nothing to having a leader.

If every person in hunter-gatherer societies more or less have the strength or the same resources, why they make room for an individual to dominate

To find out, Powers created a computer model in which there are symbols of individuals who have preferansi for egalitarianism or hierarchy. In the model, just as in real life, it is known that the more resources a person has, the more offspring they can have.

In the simulation, the population sometimes has a voluntary leader - who then it will lose its power in the offspring.

From leader to despot

However, the leadership turned into despotism when two factors emerged. First, is the growth of the population - density and number - which will naturally form on the agricultural community organized.

"Basically, it becomes difficult for the individual to stop following the command of a leader," said Powers. "As more and more dense population, the less the amount of land available for free."
That then leads to the second factor: feedback. With the advantage of being the leader, the subjects get more resources and have more children.

If the consequences of leaving a low leaders - such as being able to join in more friendly territory nearby, or the ease of switching, no despotism can appear. Enough people go when a leader becomes too absolute.

But if the stakes are high - either because of geographical barriers, such as the Egyptian desert, or practical, such as the need for access to irrigation - people have to deal with a high risk of power abuse their leader.

"In a group of hunter-gatherers, if someone tries to behave wrongfully, then the rest of the group simply wake up in the middle of the night and walked away, but not with the agricultural community," said Powers.

Such findings may explain the differences in the hierarchy of the entire world in the Stone Age. For example, Peru - which became the site of a number of initial states, provides a fertile agricultural valley. To leave these valleys, one must cross the mountains - a dangerous and difficult business, "said Powers.

In contrast, in the Amazon basin more egalitarian even after the advent of agriculture, perhaps because it is easier to move and find suitable land.

Rules of the Stone Age it was still there to this day. In a democratic society, said Powers, easier to depose a leader, the ruler can seldom be wrong. In contrast, in the communities of non-democratic, authoritarian rulers can apply without having to worry about losing his grip on power.

Powers and his advisers, Laurent Lehmann study findings reported in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B edition August 5, 2014.

The next step will be upgrading permodelannya Powel. "I want to know what money encourages the creation of a great country of despotic groups," he said.

Without Water and Electricity, Gazans Life Full of Anxiety


Gaza - The Israeli attack on Gaza is not only causing people to lose relatives, but also makes them difficult to survive.

Since last Tuesday, July 29, 2014, Gazans have lived without electricity, television, water pump, refrigerator and exhaust system.

Most people are lucky, hung their daily activities of the assistance given generator. "All the children were very scared when the power will be turned off," said one resident, Mohammed Nafoz.

Mohammed lived in a cramped apartment with two rooms along with 16 other people, including children. They hide during the day and night with fear.

Another resident, Yasmeen El Khoudary (24 years), he did not eat for two days. He did not even leave the house for a week.

Khoudary know there is enough food available in the camp, but her safety is more important. "We only eat when we remember to eat," said Khoudary.

"My thoughts were interrupted as Israeli bombs destroyed two of our homes, such as small toys that children played," added Khoudary.

On Tuesday last week, has lost at least 40% of Gaza fuel supply. Gazans now live in fear of their future.

Israel accused of destroying a pair of powerful generators in Gaza, even though the tool is very important to support the lives of citizens.

Authority Vice Chairman of Energy and Natural Resources in Gaza, Fathi al-Sheikh Khalil, said not easy to rebuild power plants, it took one year to resume operations. "This is a disaster," he said.

"We can not provide electricity to hospitals or pump water and sewage treatment to households. Persons must pump water into the tank housing but no electricity," Khalil added as reported by CNN on Tuesday (05/08/2014).

Khalil also said the fuel tank of 300,000 liters were used to supply electricity for one day in Gaza also attacked and burned. The fire also spread to other tanks.

"By attacking power plants and cut off the electricity, they have killed civilian life in Gaza," said Deputy of the electric company in Gaza, Jamal Derdsawoi.

While Israel insists that the power plant is not a target of their attack.

An Israeli military spokesman said he had checked the army, air, and sea Israel. And found no indication that the Israeli military attacked the electricity pembangkir.

As a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression since July 8, 2014, thousands of Gazans lost their lives. According to the UN, more than 1,800 people were killed in Gaza. This includes 327 children and 166 women.

This aggression also caused an estimated 1.8 million residents of Gaza to flee. Meanwhile, the Israel recorded 64 deaths, 3 of whom were civilians.

Israel blamed Hamas for the deaths of civilian casualties. They said Hamas continues to drive Gazans to remain indoors, while Israel continues to warn of the attack would come. They call Hamas using civilian facilities such as houses, schools, mosques and hospitals as shields and weapons caches.

Since Tuesday at 08:00 local time (05:00 GMT), Hamas and Israel have agreed on a humanitarian truce for 72 hours.

Israel declares 'mission accomplished' as troops leave Gaza for cease-fire

http://rack.0.mshcdn.com/media/ZgkyMDE0LzA3LzIyLzBlL0dhemFJc3JhZWxBLjgxOTFhLmpwZwpwCXRodW1iCTk1MHg1MzQjCmUJanBn/e2210f19/961/Gaza-Israel-Airstrike.jpg
Gaza (CNN) -- Withdrawing its ground forces from Gaza Tuesday for a three-day cease-fire with Hamas, Israel announced that its central goal was achieved.

"Mission accomplished," the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Twitter. "We have dismantled the underground terror network built by Hamas to infiltrate and attack Israel." The military said 32 tunnels were destroyed in the four-week conflict.

The declaration came amid suspicions on both sides over whether the 72-hour humanitarian cease-fire will hold.

More than 1,800 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza during the conflict, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. It's unclear how many were militants. The United Nations estimates that about 70% of the dead were civilians. But the IDF says about 900 militants were killed. It did not provide a breakdown of the victims by age or gender.

Israeli officials have said 64 Israeli soldiers and three civilians in Israel have died.


Israel is implementing the Egyptian-brokered truce, which took effect Tuesday morning, while maintaining "defensive positions" outside Gaza, the IDF said.

"We have no forces within Gaza," IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner told CNN Tuesday.

About 20 rockets were fired from Gaza toward Israel minutes before the cease-fire went into effect Tuesday at 8 a.m. (1 a.m. ET) , an IDF spokesman said. Six were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome defense system and at least one was reported to have hit a Palestinian town in the West Bank without causing any injuries.

Hamas' military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, said it launched "a barrage of rockets" at Israeli cities as a response to "Israeli crimes."

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that several Israeli strikes took place across Gaza before the beginning of the cease-fire. A CNN team witnessed one strike on a southern area of Gaza City and heard several others.

Officials from the United Nations and United States, who have been pushing for a cease-fire for weeks, hope that the three-day pause will allow negotiations to take place for a more lasting peace.

Why are so many civilians dying in Hamas-Israel war?

Israeli guard stabbed in West Bank

In the West Bank, a security guard outside the settlement of Ma'ale Adumim was stabbed Tuesday, Israeli police said.

The suspect, an Arab, fled back into a Palestinian neighborhood, according to witnesses, Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

Israeli police are searching for the suspect and calling the incident terrorism, Rosenfeld said.

The guard is in moderate condition.

'Peace? What peace?'

The Gaza truce enables the 1.8 million residents to go out into the streets to pick up supplies and check on abandoned homes.

The conflict has displaced more than 200,000 people across the densely populated territory.

For the first time Tuesday, the number of people packed into U.N. shelters decreased, said U.N. official Chris Gunness in Gaza.

After the cease-fire began, residents trickled into Shujaya, an area near Gaza City that experienced some of the most destructive violence of the conflict.

They found craters and ruins where homes and shops once stood.

People scaled crumbled concrete and twisted metal to rummage for any belongings left in the rubble.

Residents were stunned as they returned to their neighborhoods for the first time since being displaced by the fighting.

One man who had been living at a U.N. shelter walked down his street, Hill Street, saying he felt like he was in a dream.

The man said he couldn't understand what he was seeing -- the home his family invested $100,000 in, now destroyed.

No insurance company will give him money to rebuild, he told a CNN crew in Gaza.

The man said he's glad the shooting has stopped, but the problems are just beginning.

In this war, there are no winners, he said.

Residents are coming back to similar sights in Gaza -- rubble, ruins, buildings pockmarked by shrapnel.

A white-haired man, Hany Mahmoud el Harezen, stood on the roof of his collapsed two-story home.

"I am a wedding photographer, I have nothing to do with this war," he said. "Maybe if we had gotten some concessions, it would be worth it. But we got nothing."

Nal Mohammed, a Ph.D. student whose family home was demolished, was also pessimistic about the situation.

"Peace? What peace? We have no home, no water, no power," he said. "There is no peace here."

Israel released a map noting numerous sites it targeted in Shujaya, which it said "Hamas used for military purposes." The map cited locations of alleged tunnels, hideouts, rocket firings and launchings, and more.

Israel: 'The onus is on Hamas'

Israel repeatedly accepted an Egyptian cease-fire proposal during the conflict, which Hamas rejected. Temporary humanitarian cease-fires repeatedly crumbled, with each side blaming the other.

"The onus is on Hamas," Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev told CNN of the 72-hour truce.

"We are entering this with our eyes open," he said. "We have been burnt more than once."

The sentiment was similar from Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan, who told CNN that as long as Israel honors the agreement, so will the Palestinians.

"We hope they can take it and be committed to a cease-fire," he said.

While Egypt has not released details of the truce, Regev suggested it was the same agreement that Israel has accepted all along.

Egyptian and Palestinian negotiators had already arrived in Cairo for talks, and Regev said he expects "our people to be in Cairo in the framework of the 72-hour period."

Key to any negotiations, he said, is that Hamas must disarm.

Hamas leaders say that they want to negotiate an end to the Israeli blockade of Gaza, or at least a body other than the Israelis controlling the borders.

Regev claimed that Hamas seeks the opening in order to amass weapons.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that the removal of the tunnel threat didn't guarantee an end to the campaign against Hamas.

"This operation will end only when quiet and security are restored to the citizens of Israel for a lengthy period," he said. "We struck a very severe blow at Hamas and the other terrorist organizations."

The United States urged both sides to honor the cease-fire agreement.

"The United States has been steadfast in our insistence on an end to rocket and tunnel attacks against Israel and an end to the suffering of the people of Gaza," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon "urges the parties to commence, as soon as possible, talks in Cairo on a durable ceasefire and the underlying issues," his office said in a statement.

Regev said Tuesday that Israel will send a delegation to Cairo if the current cease-fire holds.

A Palestinian delegation was in Cairo over the weekend, the Egyptian state media reported. The group included representatives of Fatah and Palestinian intelligence, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, the Egyptian report said.

British minister resigns over Gaza

In the latest example of the ripples the conflict has sent around the globe, a British government minister said she was resigning over her country's policy on Gaza.

"With deep regret I have this morning written to the Prime Minister & tendered my resignation. I can no longer support Govt policy on Gaza," Sayeeda Warsi, senior minister of state at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, wrote on Twitter.

Warsi, a member of the House of Lords and the first Muslim in a British Cabinet, posted a photo of her resignation letter on Twitter.

U.S. officials stepped up calls in recent days for Israel to do more to avoid civilian casualties. An Israeli strike near a U.N. shelter over the weekend drew particularly strong words from the U.S. State Department.

On Monday, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius slammed the "carnage in Gaza." He also said Israel has a right to total security.

The U.S. and French governments have also both condemned Hamas for its role in the conflict.
