Archaeology & Anthropology -  Juniper Publishers Opinion This article considers the composition of Queensland’s transport systems during the 1920s, positing events of 1924 as significant markers in the evolution of transport across the state. By the 1920s, Queensland’s major transport systems on sea, river, road and rail, were interlinked and interdependent. The range and rapid development presented challenges for the construction and management of efficient transport systems, with the introduction of new infrastructure, institutions and legislation required at a similar pace and complexity. For most of its history, from European settlement in 1825, Queensland’s development was less centralised than Australia’s other states and territories. Throughout the nineteenth century, coastal shipping, river transport, roads used by horse and bullock drawn vehicles and a decentralised rail network enabled the expansion and development of communities, along with co...

Archaeology & Anthropology -  Juniper Publishers Opinion Airbnb has made a leap from digital to analog. This leap has been made in prime time and in one of the most listened radio stations in Spain.

The sequence is always the same: one or several m...

Lawrence of the British Army travelled to Jeddah located in today’s Saudi Arabia, in the midst of the First World War to meet with Faysal, the third son of the Sharif of the holy Islamic city of Mecca, Husayn Ibn Ali. In that meeting, the wick of an Arab revolt was lit that would transform the entire region. That young officer would later be known internationally as ‘Lawrence of Arabia’.The Arabs of the region launched an armed insurrection against the Ottoman Empire, driven by the British promises of an independent pan-Arab state in what has come to be known as the McMahon Commitment[1].These promises were never intended to be kept as Great Britain and France secretly negotiated the Sykes-Picot Agreement that would define the territorial ambitions of both powers in the Middle East after the Ottomans were defeated[2], turning the agreement sign...

Archaeology & Anthropology -  Juniper Publishers Abstract Here is a paper that outlines possible connections between the Egyptian, the Ten Commandments, Stone Henge, and St Columba’s Psalter. The key is the Mathematics knows at the time by the Egyptians. The Hebrews picked it up from the time they were in Egypt.
