		Ancient Americans were the longest-lived, according to the methods used here, averaging 34 years.
		In ancient times, the emergence of cities seems to have occasioned a fall in life expectancy (e0=21 years), but there was no penalty for villages or towns (e0=33 years or more).
		In the Ancient Americas (that is, more than 1500 years ago), fertility seems to have been surprisingly low (GRR=2.3), and the brake on explosive population growth was fertility rather than mortality (e0=34 years).

	ADASR - Ancient Desert Agriculture Systems Revived
		The remnants of ancient agriculture reflect a tremendous investment in the construction of artificial fields - way beyond the size of the population that lived in the settlements and in the agricultural farms.
		As of the 1960s and 1970s, the research on the environmental aspect of ancient agriculture was accompanied by comprehensive archaeological-historical research, which focused on the ancient cities in the Negev such as Avdat, Shivta, Halutza and Rehovot.
		These studies examined the role of the Nabateans and their descendents in settling the Negev during all of the classic periods represented in the Negev, from the second century BCE to the seventh century C.E., with emphasis on the aspect of material culture, architecture, and analysis of historical sources.

		The administrative system of the Ancient Regime was abolished during the Revolution, but strongly influenced the new administrative system based on the departments.
		The French Revolution suppressed the ancient divisions, and the intendances and généralités were completely forgotten, since they were the symbols of the financial oppression exerted by the king.
		An exception is Brittany, where the ancient banner of arms (plain ermine) is rarely used and was superseded by the modern Gwen-ha-Du, designed in the 1920s.

	The Ancient Regime The Origins of Contemporary France, Volume 1 by Hippolyte A. Taine: Arthur's Classic Novels
		Taine described the human being as he was and is and had the courage to tell the French about themselves, their ancient rulers, and the men of the Revolution, even if it went against the favorable opinion so many of his countrymen had of this terrible period.
		Her political revolutions, social Utopias, division of classes, role of the church, conduct of the nobility, of the middle class, and of the people, the development, the direction, or deviation of philosophy, of letters and of the arts.
		The primitive foundation remains, property as organized in ancient times, the fettered or exhausted land supporting a social conformation that has melted away, in short, an order of privileges and of thralldom of which the cause and the purpose have disappeared.

		In the era of the Cold War, the stabilization of the Mobutu dictatorship was a major fixation of several American regimes, including that of Ronald Reagan and George Bush.The victory of the Marxist oriented MPLA was treated with as much trepidation and c oncern in Washington as Ho Chi Minh's victory in Vietnam.
		Indeed, the Mobutu regime, built for the last thirty two years, and based as it is on a network of clientelism, cannot be dismantled by the sheer fact that Mobutu himself is out of power.
		Dismantling the Mobutu regime is a sine qua non for establishing the minimum of economic, social, and political infrast ructure during the transition period.

	The Ancien Regime LECTURE I--CASTE by Charles Kingsley
		More than a century of bitter experience was needed ere the masses discovered that their ancient rulers were like the suits of armour in the Tower of London--empty iron astride of wooden steeds, and armed with lances which every ploughboy could wrest out of their hands, and use in his own behalf.
		The supreme class was to keep itself pure, and avoid all taint of darker blood, shutting its eyes to the fact that some of its most famous heroes had been born of such left-handed marriages as that of Robert of Normandy with the tanner's daughter of Falaise.
		When the ancient chivalry of France descended to that level, or rather delegated their functions to mercenaries of that level--when the knightly hosts who fought before Jerusalem allowed themselves to be superseded by the dragoons and dragonnades of Louis XIV.--then the end of the French chivalry was at hand, and came.

		Unlike other regimes in China's history, Xixia has no official historical documents written by successive regimes as most evidence of the regime was destroyed by the Mongolian soldiers who overthrew the Xixia Dynasty after six invalid wars and later unified China again and established the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368).
		Now the most strong evidence of the Xixia regime is the cone-shaped tombs in the northern desert of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.

		The adoption of the Chart in 1814 upset the ultraroyalists, better known as the ultras, who demanded its suppression and the restoration of the Ancient Regime as it was in 1789.
		One of the main claims of the ultraroyalists was the restoration of the symbols of the Ancient Regime, and especially the royal white flag.
		The restoration of this flag as the national flag, which it was not under the Ancient Regime, was a major political mistake since people had accepted the French Tricolore flag and did not want to restore one of the most prominent symbols of the Ancient Regime.

	The Ancien Regime by Charles Kingsley
		It was therefore impossible for me in these Lectures, to say much which had to be said, in drawing a just and complete picture of the Ancien Regime in France.
		Let them prove that fact by their deeds during the next generation; or sink into the condition of mere rich men, exciting, by their luxury and laziness, nothing but envy and contempt.
		The French Revolution, like every revolution (it seems to me) which has convulsed the nations of Europe for the last eighty years, was caused immediately--whatever may have been its more remote causes--by the suppression of thought; or, at least, by a sense of wrong among those who thought.

	Ancien Régime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ancien Régime, a French term meaning "Former Regime," but rendered in English as "Old Rule," "Old Order," or simply "Old Regime", refers primarily to the aristocratic social and political system established in France under the Valois and Bourbon dynasties.
		More generally, Ancien Régime means any regime which shares the former's defining features.
		The Ancien Régime retained many aspects of a feudal system that had existed since at least the 8th century, in particular noble and aristocratic privilege, supported by the explicit consent of the established Catholic Church, and supported by the doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings.

	British Coins before the Florin, Compared to French Coins of the Ancient Regime
		Argument still continues over whether this was really necessary; but it is clear that regimes of credit money have allowed governments to institute a new, hidden, and deceptive form of debasement.
		Thus, when Alexander Hamilton tried to organize the finances of the new United States of America on a basis similar to Britain's, his political enemies, like Thomas Jefferson, thought it was all just a scheme to make money for Hamilton's speculator friends.
		While in general Jefferson was politically wiser than Hamilton, his insight was here compromised by an ancient incomprehension and suspicion of finance.

		The rhetoric of liberty and democracy insisted that monarchy and aristocracy - whether enlightened or not - and with all their trappings of show and patronage must be purged.
		And thus the Ancien Regime ended: in the duplicity and weakness of Louis XVI and in the rapacious egalitarianism of the revolutionaries, a combination presaging a century of struggle, disorder, oppression, and war.
