Assignment 1 has two questions worth 25 points each. You can use accompanying attachments and the lectures to obtain the information for your answers. Don’t forget that your answers have to be in your own words and you have to use complete sentences. Be as thorough as you can with your answers. The more information you include the more points you will earn.
Question 1: Explain what is thought to have been the purpose of the cave paintings. Include in your answer why we’ve reached this conclusion. (answer can be found in the lecture)
Question 2: Describe how the Akkadians visually depicted the power of the king and how that was different from the representation of the ruler, Gudea. This means you need to tell me how the Akkadian kings looked (fig. 2.12) and how that was different from how Gudea looked.
