RÍO DE JANEIRO. (EUROPA PRESS) El gobernador del estado de Alagoas (este), hasta ahora el más afectado por las inundaciones que están afectando el noreste de Brasil, y que han provocado decenas de muertes, afirmó este lunes que el saldo de esta catástrofe en su región es de 22 muertos y un millar de desaparecidos. Se trata de unas cifras que contrastan con las ofrecidas por la Defensa Civil del estado, que por el momento ha confirmado 26 muertes y sitúan el número de desaparecidos en 607, de los que medio millar se han registrado en la localidad de Uniao dos Palmares. En esta localidad, además, hay nueve muertes confirmadas.

Christopher Columbus
La civilización maya habitó una vasta región denominada Mesoamérica, en el territorio hoy comprendido por cinco estados del sureste de México
Durante ese largo tiempo, en ese territorio se hablaron cientos de dialectos que generan hoy cerca de 44 lenguas mayas diferentes.
Los mexicas
llamados en la historiografía occidental aztecas — fueron un pueblo indígena de filiación nahua que fundó México-Tenochtitlan y hacia el siglo XV en el periodo Posclásico tardío se convirtió en el centro de uno de los Estados más extensos que conoció Mesoamérica asentados en un islote al poniente del Lago de Texcoco hoy prácticamente desecado, sobre el que se asienta la actual Ciudad de México.
Los incas, antiguamente inga
fueron los gobernantes del imperio aborigen más extenso de América precolombina. También eran usados los términos Cápac Inca
El primer sinchi cusqueño en utilizar el título de inca fue Inca Roca, fundador también de la dinastía Hanan Cuzco. El último inca en el gobierno fue Atahualpa. Posteriormente el título es usado por los que opusieron resistencia a la conquista del Imperio inca, como los casos de Manco Inca o Túpac Amaru I.

Christopher Colombus
Although not the first to reach the Americas from Europe—he was preceded by at least one other group, the Norse, led by Leif Ericson, who built a temporary settlement 500 years earlier at L'Anse aux Meadows[2]— Columbus initiated widespread contact between Europeans and indigenous Americans.
The term "pre-Columbian" is usually used to refer to the peoples and cultures of the Americas before the arrival of Columbus and his European successors.
Mayas

The Mayan buildings were made of wood and stone basically. Among the woods are preferred coba and sapote, being very resistant to termite attacks. Among the stones were used limestone, sandstone, marble, etc..
They performed all types of buildings: palaces rectangular and elongated, temples, ball courts, causeways (sacbeob) linking the main towns, forts, steam baths (temazcal).
Major pyramids are preserved in stone. On top of these stood the temple. They were decorated with paintings of a wide range of colors, and embossing. Some of these are inscriptions of the Maya hieroglyphic writing, not yet fully deciphered. The most important buildings of this period were Copan, Quirigua, Piedras Negras, Palenque and Tikal.

Incas

The center of the Inca Empire was the city of Cuzco - Cuzco today - which was the capital of the empire Tahuantinsuyo, whose foundation was attributed to Manco Capac and it was destroyed by the Spanish to use their churches and residential building materials. Was integrated with Vilcanota River Valley - Urubamba current - called the Sacred Valley to the city of Machu Picchu.
Cuzco was a center surrounded by several peripheral populations, including the great fortress of Sacsahuamán, composed of three levels of walls crowned by a citadel and three large towers made up of large granite blocks properly adjusted.

Aztecas

In the geographical area that corresponds to the southern half of Mexico today, there developed a great cultural activity from about 2000 years a. C. In this region lived in different towns, some of which we have all left their thriving culture, as is the case of the archaeological city of Teotihuacan, and deserted when the Spanish arrived. In the central Mexican plateau from the late seventh century until the mid-twelfth century, the Toltec culture was developed that was to merge with the Maya in their expansion to the Yucatan.

Juramento hipocratico moderno en castellano
Juro por Apolo el Médico y Esculapio y por Hygeia y Panacea y por todos los dioses y diosas, poniéndolos de jueces, que éste mi juramento será cumplido hasta donde tenga poder y discernimiento. A aquel quien me enseñó este arte, le estimaré lo mismo que a mis padres; él participará de mi mantenimiento y si lo desea participará de mis bienes. Consideraré su descendencia como mis hermanos, enseñándoles este arte sin cobrarles nada, si ellos desean aprenderlo.
Instruiré por precepto, por discurso y en todas las otras formas, a mis hijos, a los hijos del que me enseñó a mí y a los discípulos unidos por juramento y estipulación, de acuerdo con la ley médica, y no a otras personas.
Llevaré adelante ese régimen, el cual de acuerdo con mi poder y discernimiento será en beneficio de los enfermos y les apartará del perjuicio y el terror. A nadie daré una droga mortal aun cuando me sea solicitada, ni daré consejo con este fin. De la misma manera, no daré a ninguna mujer pesarios abortivos. Pasaré mi vida y ejerceré mi arte en la inocencia y en la pureza.
No cortaré a nadie ni siquiera a los calculosos, dejando el camino a los que trabajan en esa práctica. A cualesquier casa que entre, iré por el beneficio de los enfermos, absteniéndome de todo error voluntario y corrupción, y de lascivia con las mujeres u hombres libres o esclavos.
Guardaré silencio sobre todo aquello que en mi profesión, o fuera de ella, oiga o vea en la vida de los hombres que no deban ser públicos, manteniendo estas cosas de manera que no se pueda hablar de ellas.
Ahora, si cumplo este juramento y no lo quebranto, que los frutos de la vida y el arte sean míos, que sea siempre honrado por todos los hombres y que lo contrario me ocurra si lo quebranto y soy perjuro.

Mythology of Greece and the Greek Islands: The Olympian Gods
This section provides information about the 12 main gods of the Greek Mythology.After the Titanomachy between the gods of new and older generation for the rule of the world, Gods chose Mount Olympus as their residence, the highest mountain in Greece. Zeus was their leader and Hera was his sister-wife. The twelve Olympian Gods actually consisted of Zeus and his siblings, as well as some children of Zeus who were born later. People gave the gods special domains of rule and also attributed them human characteristics.
Zeus was the god of the earth and the sky. His symbols were the thunderbolt, the eagle, the bull and the oak. Although he was married to Hera, his elder sister, he would frequently cheat on her with many mortal women. other goddesses and nymphs. He is depicted in statues and paintings as a middle-aged man seating on his throne or throwing a thunderbolt. Hera was the queen of the Gods. Pictured as a middle-aged still charming woman,

Socrates

Nació en Atenas, donde vivió durante los dos últimos tercios del siglo V a.C., la época más espléndida en la historia de su ciudad natal, y de toda la antigua Grecia. Fue hijo de Sofronisco – motivo por el que en su juventud lo llamaban "Sōkrátis iōs Sofroniskos" (Sócrates hijo de Sofronisco) –, de profesión cantero, y de Fainarate, comadrona, emparentados con Arístides el Justo.Según Plutarco, cuando Sócrates nació su padre recibió del oráculo el consejo de dejar crecer a su hijo a su aire, sin oponerse a su voluntad ni reprimirle sus impulsos.[1] [2] No obstante, ni Jenofonte ni Platón mencionan esta intervención del oráculo, lo que hace pensar que pueda ser una tradición popular muy posterior.[1]
Desde muy joven, llamó la atención de los que lo rodeaban por la agudeza de sus razonamientos y su facilidad de palabra, además de la fina ironía con la que salpicaba sus tertulias con los ciudadanos jóvenes aristocráticos de Atenas, a quienes les preguntaba sobre su confianza en opiniones populares, aunque muy a menudo él no les ofrecía ninguna enseñanza.[cita requerida] Se casó con Xantipa (o Jantipa), que era de familia noble y trataba muy mal al filósofo -de ahí que los romanos apodaran a las mujeres de mal carácter como Xantipas-. Su inconformismo lo impulsó a oponerse a la ignorancia popular y al conocimiento de los que se decían sabios, aunque él mismo no se consideraba un sabio, aun cuando uno de sus mejores amigos, Querefonte, le preguntó al oráculo de Delfos si había alguien más sabio que Sócrates, y la Pitonisa le contestó que no había ningún griego más sabio que él (Apología 21a). Al escuchar lo sucedido, Sócrates dudó del oráculo, y comenzó a buscar alguien más sabio que él entre los personajes más renombrados de su época, pero se dio cuenta de que en realidad creían saber más de lo que realmente sabían. Filósofos, poetas y artistas, todos creían tener una gran sabiduría, en cambio, Sócrates era consciente tanto de la ignorancia que le rodeaba como de la suya propia. Esto lo llevó a tratar de hacer pensar a la gente y hacerles ver el conocimiento real que tenían sobre las cosas. Asumiendo una postura de ignorancia, interrogaba a la gente para luego poner en evidencia la incongruencia de sus afirmaciones; a esto se le denominó «ironía socrática», la cual queda expresada con su célebre frase «Yo sólo sé que no sé nada» (Εν οιδα οτι ουδεν οιδα / en oida oti ouden oida). Su más grande mérito fue crear la mayéutica, método inductivo que le permitía llevar a sus alumnos a la resolución de los problemas que se planteaban por medio de hábiles preguntas cuya lógica iluminaba el entendimiento. Según pensaba, el conocimiento y el autodominio habrían de permitir restaurar la relación entre el ser humano y la naturaleza.[cita requerida]
La sabiduría de Sócrates no consiste en la simple acumulación de conocimientos, sino en revisar los conocimientos que se tienen y a partir de ahí construir conocimientos más sólidos.
Esto le convierte en una de las figuras más extraordinarias y decisivas de toda la historia; representa la reacción contra el relativismo y subjetivismo sofista, y es un singular ejemplo de unidad entre teoría y conducta, entre pensamiento y acción. A la vez, fue capaz de llevar tal unidad al plano del conocimiento, al sostener que la virtud es conocimiento y el vicio ignorancia.
El poder de su oratoria y su facultad de expresión pública eran su fuerte para conseguir la atención de las personas.
Sócrates no escribió ninguna obra porque creía que cada uno debía desarrollar sus propias ideas. Conocemos sus ideas porque Platón se basó en ellas para escribir sus diálogos
Gods

Zeus was the child of Cronus and Rhea, and the youngest of his siblings. In most traditions he was married to Hera, although, at the oracle of Dodona, his consort was Dione: according to the Iliad, he is the father of Aphrodite by Dione.He is known for his erotic escapades. These resulted in many godly and heroic offspring, including Athena, Apollo and Artemis, Hermes, Persephone (by Demeter), Dionysus, Perseus, Heracles, Helen, Minos, and the Muses, by Hera, he is usually said to have fathered Ares, Hebe and Hephaestus.

Islamic occupation and Asturian revolt

The kingdom was established by a hispano-visigothic nobleman Pelayo, who had returned to his country after theBattle of Guadalete where like in the similar gothic tradition of Theias he was elected by the other nobles leader of the Astures and founded the Kingdom of Asturias. However, Pelayo's kingdom initially was little more than a rallying banner for the existing guerilla forces.
In the progress of the Islamic conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, the main cities and administrative centers fell in the hands of Muslim troops. Control of the central and southern regions, such as the Guadalquivir and Ebro valleys, presented few problems for the newcomers, who used the existing Visigothic administrative structures, of Roman origin. However, in the northern mountains urban centers (such as Gigia) were practically nonexistent and the submission of the country had to be done valley by valley. Muslim troops often resorted to the taking of hostages to ensure the pacification of the newly conquered territory.

After the Dark Ages, there was the Middle Ages. It is called the middle ages because it was between ancient history and modern history. It can also be called medieval times. It was a time when Europe was Christian, and the Catholic church was very powerful. The Middle Ages ended when the Renaissance started. During the Renaissance people began going to school and university more and learning more things. There was less fighting. The printing press was also made. This was a machine that made books easily and quickly. It made it easier for people to read and learn things.
Main article: Way of St. James
Way of St. James
The legend that St James found his way to the Iberian peninsula, and had preached there is one of a number of early traditions concerning the missionary activities and final resting places of the apostles of Jesus. Although the 1884 Bull of Pope Leo XIII Omnipotens Deus accepted the authenticity of the relics at Compostela, the Vatican remains uncommitted as to whether the relics are those of Saint James the Great, while continuing to promote the more general benefits of pilgrimage to the site. According to a tradition that can be traced before the 12th century, the relics were said to have been discovered in 814 by Theodomir, bishop of Iria Flavia in the west of Galicia. Theodomir was guided to the spot by a star, the legend affirmed, drawing upon a familiar myth-element, hence "Compostela" was given an etymology as a corruption of Campus Stellae, "Field of Stars."
The establishment of the shrine
St. James' shell
As suggested already, it is probably impossible to know whose bones were actually found, and precisely when and how. Perhaps it does not matter. What the history of the pilgrimage requires, but what the meagre sources fail to reveal, is how the local Galician cult associated with the saint was transformed into an international cult drawing pilgrims from distant parts of the world.
The 1000 year old pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is known in English as the Way of St. James and in Spanish as the Camino de Santiago. Over 100,000 pilgrims travel to the city each year from points all over Europe and other parts of the world. The pilgrimage has been the subject of many books and television programmes, notably Brian Sewell's The Naked Pilgrim produced for UK's Five.
[edit] Pre-Christian legends
As the lowest-lying land on that stretch of coast, the city's site took on added significance. Legends supposed of Celtic origin made it the place where the souls of the dead gathered to follow the Sun across the sea. Those unworthy of going to the Land of the Dead haunted Galicia as the Santa Compaña.

The Early Middle Ages was the period of European history lasting from the 5th century to approximately 1000. The Early Middle Ages followed the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and preceded the High Middle Ages (c. 1000 - 1300). The period saw a continuation of trends begun during the decline of the Roman Empire, including population decline, especially in urban centres, a decline of trade, and increased barbarian migration. In Western Europe, the period has been labeled the "Dark Ages", a characterization highlighting the paucity of literary and cultural output from this time. However, the Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantine Empire, continued to survive, and in the 7th century the Islamic caliphates conquered swaths of formerly Roman territory.
Many of these trends were reversed later in the period. In 800 the title of emperor was revived by Charlemagne, whose Carolingian Empire greatly affected later European social structure and history. Europe experienced a return to systematic agriculture in the form of the feudal system, which introduced such innovations as three-field planting and the heavy plow.

Bishops were central to Middle Age society due to the literacy they possessed. As a result, they often played a significant role in governance. However, beyond the core areas of Western Europe, there remained many peoples with little or no contact with Christianity or with classical Roman culture. Martial societies such as the Avars and the Vikings were still capable of causing major disruption to the newly emerging societies of Western Europe.
The Early Middle Ages witnessed the rise of monasticism within the west. Although the impulse to withdraw from society to focus upon a spiritual life is experienced by people of all cultures, the shape of European monasticism was determined by traditions and ideas that originated in the deserts of Egypt and Syria.The style of monasticism that focuses on community experience of the spiritual life, called cenobitism, was pioneered by the saint Pachomius in the 4th century. Monastic ideals spread from Egypt to western Europe in the 5th and 6th centuries through hagiographical literature such as the Life of Saint Anthony.
Saint Benedict wrote the definitive Rule for western monasticism during the 6th century, detailing the administrative and spiritual responsibilities of a community of monks led by an abbot.The style of monasticism based upon the Benedictine Rule spread widely rapidly across Europe, replacing small clusters of cenobites. Monks and monasteries had a deep effect upon the religious and political life of the Early Middle Ages, in various cases acting as land trusts for powerful families, centres of propaganda and royal support in newly conquered regions, bases for mission, and proselytization. They were the main outposts of education and literacy.

Gothic fiction (sometimes referred to as Gothic horror) is a genre of literature that combines elements of both horror and romance. As a genre, it is generally believed to have been invented by the English author Horace Walpole, with his 1764 novel The Castle of Otranto.
The effect of Gothic fiction feeds on a pleasing sort of terror, an extension of Romantic literary pleasures that were relatively new at the time of Walpole's novel. Melodrama and parody (including self-parody) were other long-standing features of the Gothic initiated by Walpole.
Gothic literature is intimately associated with the Gothic Revival architecture of the same era. In a way similar to the gothic revivalists' rejection of the clarity and rationalism of the neoclassical style of the Enlightened Establishment, the literary Gothic embodies an appreciation of the joys of extreme emotion, the thrills of fearfulness and awe inherent in the sublime, and a quest for atmosphere. The ruins of gothic buildings gave rise to multiple linked emotions by representing the inevitable decay and collapse of human creations—thus the urge to add fake ruins as eyecatchers in English landscape parks. English Gothic writers often associated medieval buildings with what they saw as a dark and terrifying period, characterized by harsh laws enforced by torture, and with mysterious, fantastic, and superstitious rituals. In literature such Anti-Catholicism had a European dimension featuring Roman Catholic excesses such as the Inquisition
