Al-Ahram Weekly Heritage Revealing Rome in Alexandria During the sixth century, the eastern side of the agora underwent reconstruction and a succession of meeting rooms were built within the colonnade. This housing was destroyed at the end of the third century and replaced by public buildings, the baths, the theatre, and the lecture rooms.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Dionysius the Pseudo-Areopagite Through the latter the false idea that the Gallic martyr Dionysius of the third century, whose relics were preserved in the monastery of Saint-Denys, was identical with the Areopagite rose to an undoubted certainty, while the works ascribed to Dionysius gained in repute. In the nineteenth century the general opinion inclined more and more towards the opposition; the Germans especially, Mohler, Fessler, Dollinger, Hergenrother, Alzog, Funk, and others made no reserve of their decision for the negative. He finds in Dionysius not a falsifier, but a prominent theologian of the fourth century who, through no fault of his own, but owing to the misinterpretation of some passages, was confounded with the Areopagite. www.newadvent.org /cathen/05013a.htm   (5048 words)

History of Islam In the 19th century lslamic assertion took several different forms ranging from the Mahdi movement of the Sudan and the Sanusiyyah in North Africa which fought wars against European colonizers, to educational movements such as that of Aligarh in India aiming to reeducate Muslims. At the height of European colonial expansion in the 19th century, most of the Islamic world was under colonial rule with the exception of a few regions such as the heart of the Ottoman empire, Persia, Afghanistan, Yemen and certain parts of Arabia. The early twentieth century witnessed the arrival of several hundred thousand Muslims from Eastem Europe: the first Albanian mosque was opened in Maine in 1915; others soon followed, and a group of Polish Muslims opened a mosque in Brooklyn in 1928. www.barkati.net /english   (4298 words)

BBC News ASIA-PACIFIC Shedding light on the Buddhas We do know that in the twelfth century they were carefully interred - the heads were found ringed around the edge and the bodies were layered in the middle - probably by monks, as they were found at the site of a former monastery at Longxing. There are records of Buddhist persecution in the Qingzhou region between the sixth and twelfth centuries, but if these statues had been smashed for religious reasons one would expect the faces to have been damaged - which they are not. Why the sculptures were buried in the first place remains a mystery, although the way they were broken provides a clue. news.bbc.co.uk /hi/english/world/asia-pacific/newsid_1964000/1964083.stm   (533 words)

Typology of Ancient Egyptian Christian Churches During the seventh century, the addition of the khurus (choir) was an evolutionary development to the traditional basilican plan. From the middle of the fifth century this type of church was gradually replaced by more traditional basilica designs with a nave and two aisles. In Upper (southern) Egypt, the nave was originally roofed by two copulas, that were, around the twelfth century, transformed into another structure comprising one copula supported by four massive pillars located in the center of the naos. www.touregypt.net /featurestories/churchtypology.htm   (1020 words)

Past & Present: 6th-10th century AD During the second half of the seventh century the English kingdoms, along with much of the rest of the British Isles, were affected by severe outbreaks of epidemic disease. Through this whole region sporadic attacks continued until the 760s.(9) They appear to have been most frequent and destructive in the sixth century, but appearances may be deceptive here, for when Gregory of Tours ceased to write in 591 we lose our best informed source for the history of plague in Gaul.

Nevertheless, like its neighbours in southern England, the town continued to prosper and there is no sign of decline or desertion before the end of Rome's formal administration of Britain at the beginning of the fifth century.
