Life Beyond the Horizon, How to BE, and How will Be - Effective Resource

 The artwork that I intend to discuss and that is documented in the book of Sayre is Discovering Humanities is the Sumerian Ur, the Sum. The temple of Sumer is reflective of the love of temples by the Sumerians. The Sumerians inhabited along the region between Euphrates and Tigris. They had no building stone area and therefore, the Sumerians used clay to build their buildings (Sayre, 2016). Sumerian architects also used mu-brick or fired-brick. The Sumerian temples had marble sculptures and comprised of bearded figures. These beaded figures were quite tall, had piercing eyes, and were garbed in pleated skirts. The tallest figure in the temple was about 30 inches high. This represented the god of vegetation.

The Sumerian temple had a small brick house that comprised the god and was expected by the devotees to visit it periodically. The temple was ornamented and was redolent of the reed houses that were constructed by the early Sumerians along the valley. I found it quite interesting considering that it was the white temple and was situated on a brick terrace that was formed through the construction of different buildings at the site known as the ziggaurnaut. The term ziggaurnaut is derived from the Assyrian term ziggaur that refers to high. The top this could reached via the staircase and the temple could be accessed through three doors that were located at the south side (Ching, Jarzombek & Prakash, 2017). The measurement of the temple was 22 x7 m. This temple architecture indicates the creative and industrious nature of the Sumerians.

Impairment occurs when a firm sells or abandons its asset due to fall in its ability to fetch benefits. Thus, it is not needed to realise the impairment loss as loss in the profit and loss account of the firm. For calculating the impairment loss, the influential dynamics resulting in asset impairment are to be identified. Such influential dynamics include variations in the market conditions, new regulations, staff turnover or the obsolescence of the asset. Based on this, the fair market price of the asset is to be anticipated and it is the value to be obtained after it is sold in the market. This could be realised as asset's recoverable value or the expected generation of future cash flows, if the operation is continued. The fair market price is to be contrasted with the asset...
