Look at the enormous limestone statue below. known as the great sphinx of giza, it was created in about 2500 bce in egypt. what about this artifact could tell us that the people living at that time possessed stone carving skills? a-the fact that the statue was found in egypt b-the fact that the statue is made of an animal figure c-the fact that the statue is made from limestone d-the fact that the statue has clearly been damaged

The correct answer is C) the fact that the statue is made from limestone.

People living at that time possessed stone carving skills and were capable of carving complex figures in stone.

The Great Sphinx of Egypt is an enormous limestone statue located in Giza, Egypt, next to Cairo. It is an impressive and mysterious limestone that has captived many scientists, anthropologists, and tourist of the world. There is no official statement about who built it and when. And the face is also a mystery. Who was the man/woman sculpted in the face of the Sphinx? The thing that could be true is that the conclusion you can reasonably draw from the Sphynx is that early Egyptians were capable of carving complex figures in stone.

the captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. the early european explorers were not only looking for new lands. they also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. during the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced european imperialism and modern political geography. for an outline to the main wind systems see global wind patterns.

pilotage or cabotage, in one sense, is the art of sailing along the coast using known landmarks. navigation, in one sense, is the art of sailing long distances out of sight of land.[1] although the polynesians were able to sail the pacific (with great difficulty) and people regularly sailed north and south across the mediterranean, before the time of columbus nearly all sailing was coastal pilotage
