They are about some of the Greek gods (but not all of them are in the painting).

In the picture, I can see 12 gods in ancient Greek mythology, they all carried objects related to the area they controlled. They were all in charge of their own different fields. I I am interested their stories very much and looked up some materials also

~Luke
On the first one, two children of a God, Romulus and Remus were born. They weren’t allowed to be born but they were. The king ordered a servant to drown them in the river, but he couldn’t, he but them in a box and let them flow away to the river’s current. But, they were stopped by a branch and a wolf came and looked after them. After a phew years, a shepard came along and rescued them in his opinion. They became shepards until one of the brothers were captured by the first king, who didn’t relize it was them. Then, after they rescued each other, they set out to build a city, but they couldn’t agree on which hill of two hills to build it on. So then they built to diferent cities, and sadly Remus died leaving Romulus to create Rome. On the second image shows Aneas, a male fleeing troy because his mother told her to flee and save his family. He was at war and would’ve gladly fought back, but because his mother wanted him to go, he went and fleed Troy to save his family at orders of his mom.

work:
Romulus and Remus was born by Rhea Silvia, their father was The God of War, Mars. They were dumped by a river to die because the king do not want them to grown up and over thrown him. Luckly they were picked up by a wolf (like the sculpure in the given picture), then later picked up by a sherpard. When the grown up, they wanted to build their own city. They arrived at today’s Rome and they both thought that this was a good place. But later on they had different idea on how to build the city, with anger, Remus was killed by Romulus. Then Romulus finished the city and claimed him self the king.
Aeneus was awake when he th Greeks attacked the city of Troy. He can either fight back or flee, but try to defend is now impossible so he fleed with his family. He then arrived at Rome and founded the city.

When Troy fell to the Greeks, Virgil recounts, Aeneas, who had fought bravely to the last, was commanded by Hector in a vision to flee and to found a great city overseas. … Guilty and wretched, he immediately abandoned Dido, who committed suicide, and Aeneas sailed on until he finally reached the mouth of the Tiber.

Egypt
The ancient Egyptians mummified their dead because they believed that the physical body would be important in the next life. Eventually, the ancient Egyptians developed methods for drying and preparing bodies so that they would not decay. This process is called mummification. The ancient Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for the pharaohs and their queens. The pharaohs were buried in pyramids of many different shapes and sizes from before the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom. There are about eighty pyramids known today from ancient Egypt. A burial mask was created so that the soul would recognise its body and return to it safely. Burial masks were also believed to help to guard a dead person from evil spirits in the afterlife. If the dead person was important, their mummified body would have been put into a special wooden coffin called a sarcophagus.

The Bible was written by Moses in about 1300 BC and re-published by King James I in 1604 AD to make the first people’s Bible. The Bible is about the Old Testament and the New Testament , the Old Testament is about covering the creation of Earth through Noah and the flood, Moses and more, finishing with the Jews being expelled to Babylon.The New Testament is about the fulfillment of the promise of the Old Testament. It relates and interprets the new covenant, represented in the life and death of Jesus, between God and the followers of Christ, the promised Messiah.

The bible, a holy book was written by Moses around 1300BC. The Bible is the holy scripture of the Christian religion, purporting to tell the history of the Earth from its earliest creation to the spread of Christianity in the first century A.D. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament have undergone changes over the centuries.

According to both Jewish and Christian Dogma, the books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy (the first five books of the Bible and the entirety of the Torah) were all written by Moses in about 1,300 B.C. There are a few issues with this, however, such as the lack of evidence that Moses ever existed

Mecca, Arabic Makkah, ancient Bakkah, city is in western Saudi Arabia, located in the Ṣirāt Mountains, inland from the Red Sea coast. It is the holiest of Muslim cities. Muhammad, the founder of Islam, was born in Mecca, and it is toward this religious centre that Muslims turn five times daily in prayer. Because it is sacred, only Muslims are allowed to enter the city.
Mecca is stationed 277 meters above sea level and it is surrounded by the Ṣirāt Mountains and Mount Abū Qubays, to the east and Mount Quʿayqʿān, to the west. Mount Hirāʾ. Entrance to the city is gained through four gaps in the surrounding mountains. The gaps have also defined the direction of the contemporary expansion of the city.
Since the city was relevantly low, Mecca is threatened by seasonal flash floods despite the low amount of annual precipitation. The temperatures are high through the year and it could reach 49degrees.
Plants and animals are rare because they have to withstand the heat and low amount of rain. Natural vegetation includes tamarisks and various types of acacia. Wild animals include wild cats, wolves, hyenas, foxes, mongooses, and kangaroo rats (jerboas).
According to Islamic tradition, Abraham and Ishmael, his son by Hagar, built the Kaaba as the house of God. The central point of pilgrimage in Mecca before the advent of Islam in the 7th century, the cube-shaped stone building has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. During pre-Islamic times the city was ruled by a series of Yemeni tribes. Under the Quraysh it became a type of city-state, with strong commercial links to the rest of Arabia, Ethiopia, and Europe. Mecca became a place for trade, for pilgrimage, and for tribal gatherings.
Mecca depends on the surrounding wadis for drinking water. The waters of ʿAyn Zubaydah (Zubaydah Spring), built in the 8th century, flow through tunnels from Wadi Nuʿmān.

The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the Revolutionary War and the American War of Independence, was initiated by delegates from thirteen American colonies of British America in Congress against Great Britain over their objection to Parliament’s taxation policies and lack of colonial representation.[m] From their founding in the 1600s, the colonies were largely left to govern themselves. The cost of victory in the 1754 to 1763 French and Indian War and the 1756 to 1763 Seven Years’ War left the British government deeply in debt; attempts to have the colonies pay for their own defense were vigorously resisted. The Stamp Act and Townshend Acts provoked colonial opposition and unrest, leading to the 1770 Boston Massacre and 1773 Boston Tea Party. When Parliament imposed the Intolerable Acts upon Massachusetts, twelve colonies sent delegates to the First Continental Congress to draft a Petition to the King and organize a boycott of British goods.

The American Revolutionary War Started in 1775 and ended in 1783. The war began between American Patriots and British soldiers in Massachusetts, with battles at Lexington and Concord. Although there were many factors leading to the fight for independence from the British, a major factor was Great Britain’s expectation that the colonies contribute financially via imposed taxes on certain goods, without being allowed any representation in Parliament. The taxes were meant to pay back some of the debt that Britain incurred during the French and Indian War, when Britain managed to secure more territory for the colonies. On September 3rd, 1783, Great Britain and the United States signed the Peace Treaty of Paris that brought an end to the conflict.
