What does Pharoses mean? (2000 BC was the time of the Pharoses who themselves, offered saffron up as a sacrifice to their gods.)
I searched for it but only find:
Pharos (fâr`ŏs), peninsula, extending into the Mediterranean Sea, N Egypt, NE Africa, forming two harbors at Alexandria. Originally an island, it was joined to the mainland by a mole, constructed by order of Alexander the Great. On Pharos stood the celebrated lighthouse completed (c.280 B.C.) by Ptolemy II, which is usually included among the ancient Seven Wonders of the World.
which doesn't seem suitable for this sentence,
help?!

i know that propaganda influenced the German peoples views on Jews, but Im guessing that someone else is already going to do their research paper on that

i need to write a research paper that has something to do with history, and it has to be controversial (meaning that my opinion on the topic might be diffferent than someone elses)..

i want to do it on something regarding a movie or book that you believe influenced people during a certain time period

oh, and by the way, my paper has to be 10 pages long.

any ideas??

THANKS
