The campaign starts off with the Atlantean hero, Arkantos, discussing with the Theocrat how they are losing Poseidon's favor. Pirates then start attacking Atlantis, whom Arkantos successfully drives off. However, as the pirates were fleeing Kamos the minotaur, who was the leader of the pirates, stole the trident from a Poseidon staue. Arkantos follows Kamos, gets the trident back, and unsuccessfully tries to kill Kamos, who flees on a Leviathan. He then proceeds to Greece where he fights in the Trojan War alongside the Greek heroes Ajax, Ody ...

UBS was formed through a merger of the Union Bank of Switzerland and the Swiss Bank Corporation in 1998, following the Long-Term Capital Management crisis, which affected the Union Bank of Switzerland. UBS is no longer an acronym but the company's brand, like 3M or BP. In 2000 it merged with PaineWebber Group Inc. to become the world's largest wealth management firm for private clients. Invested assets in all wealth management businesses, including ...

Iron Age - Near East. The Iron Age in Asia is believed to have begun with the discovery of iron smelting and smithing techniques in Anatolia or the Caucasus in the late 2nd millennium BC (circa 1300 BC). From here it spread rapidly throughout the Near East as iron weapons replaced bronze weapons by the early 1st millennium BC. The use of iron weapons by the Hittites is believed to have been a major factor in the rapid rise of the Hittite Empire. Because the area in which iron technology first developed was near t ...

In its most basic form, the Big Bang theory is based on the idea that the universe was smaller, denser and hotter, in the past. The temperature of the universe can thus indicate the age of the expansion, assuming the initial temperature is known and the evolution of the temperate parameter is correctly modelled. An expanding (or contracting) universe is given a scale factor to indicate its current size in relation to a fixed point. This could be a simple distance, or a dimensionless ratio of one distance (the size now) divided by a si ...

Channelwood Age was written by Atrus during the Myst period. When Atrus linked there, the age was mostly covered by water. The water would periodically glow orange. There was only a small island in Channelwood. The rest of the Age consisted of trees growing out of the ocean surrounding it. The only livable space on the Age was in the trees, though you could get around under the trees with a series of footpaths that had been built for that purpose. Atrus found many ape-like tree-dwellers. These creatures were setient and spoke to each other i ...

One of the Ages linked to from Myst Island, Selenitic could be viewed as rather bizarre, yet intriguing. It was uninhabited to begin with, but it nevertheless conveys a somewhat unwelcoming feeling with its scarred and barren landscape. The Selenitic Age is the only Age in Myst that was naturally uninhabited at the time Atrus linked to it. Atrus, in his journals, describes feeling uneasy in this Age upon his first arrival, and shortly after he arrives, a massive meteor storm changes the face of the island considerably. W ...

The Athenians lived modestly and without great luxuries. There were very few great fortunes. The economy was based on maritime commerce. Agriculture was also important, but it did not produce enough to feed the populace, necessitating the importation of food. There was also an artisanal industry, whose products were sought after by natives and foreigners alike. The state oversaw all the major religious festivals. The most important one was the Panathenaia in honor of the goddess Athena, a ritual procession carried out once a year in M ...

Pericles governed Athens throughout the 5th century BC bringing to the city a splendour and a standard of living never previously experienced. All was well within the internal regiment of government, however discontent within the Delian League was ever increasing. The foreign affairs policies adopted by Athens did not reap the best results; members of the Delian League were increasingly dissatisfied. Athens was the city-state that dominated and subjugated the rest of ...

In Great Britain, the Bronze Age is considered to have been the period from around 2100 to 700 BC. Immigration brought new people to the islands from the continent, recent tooth enamel isotope research on bodies found in early bronze age graves around Stonehenge indicate that at least some of the immigrants came from the area of modern Switzerland. The Beaker people displayed different behaviours from the earlier Neolithic people and cultural change was significant although integration is thought to have been peaceful as many of the early he ...

The Aegean bronze age established a far-ranging trade network. The network imported tin and charcoal to Cyprus, where copper was mined and alloyed with the tin to produce bronze. Bronze objects were then exported far and wide, and supported the trade. Isotopic analysis of the tin in some Mediterranean bronze objects indicates it came from as far away as Great Britain. Navigation was well developed at this time, and reached a peak of skill not exceeded until a method was discovered to determine longitude around 1750. The Minoan civilization appears to hav ...

Atrus wrote the Stoneship Age while he was living on Myst Island. On linking to Stoneship, Atrus found three boys were calling the area near his link site home. Their names were Emmit, Branch, and Will. They seemed to have little concern about how they got there, or even how Atrus got there. Stoneship was covered in water as far as the eye could see, but the area around Atrus' link site featured several rocks jutting up from the water. The largest of these contained a cave. The boys seemed to know nothing of civilization or of evil. The weat ...

Mechanical was considered one of the later Ages visited by Atrus from Myst Island. Upon his arrival, he met an old man who reminded him of Emmit, who told the chaotic history of the island. This is the best recollection: Many years ago, a large island existed where they were. This island had a large city, with many peaceful people. They had built a sentry-post on the east coast, expecting visitors to come. They had no means of transporation, mean ...

As the authority of the Roman Empire dwindled in Western Europe, its territories were entered and settled by succeeding waves of "barbarian" tribal confederations, some of whom distrusted and rejected the classical culture of Rome, while others, like the Goths admired it and considered themselves the legatees and heirs of Rome. Prominent among these peoples in the movement were the Huns and Avars and Magyars with the large number of Germanic and later Slavic peoples. It must be stressed that the institution of the eastern half of the old emp ...

Information Age - Early Information Age. Main article: Digital recording In 1837 Samuel Morse created a device which converted physical movement into electrical impulses that could travel over large distances: the telegraph. In 1844, it was used to transmit data along an experimental telegraph line from Washington DC to Baltimore, Maryland. Slightly more than 20 years later, the first telegraph cables were stretched across the Atlantic, in 1858, but failed to stay in operation, however in 1866 the unint ...
