The electric pulse also stimulates the egg to start dividing which makes it become an embryo. The embryo is implanted in a surrogate mother. Then it grows in the mother, and there you have it, a perfect clone. In 1997, scientists have cloned ...

It exhibited a radical new shape never before used, and it was so new the Egyptians used its silhouettes as the hieroglyphic for “primeval mound”, the first piece of earth to emerge from the soup of creation (Malek 90). King Djoser's chief architect for his pyramid was Imhotep. It is thought that King Djoser's stone tomb started out having the standard shape of a mastaba.

The Egyptians had a firm belief in an aft ...
