=__Assignment 2__= Directions: Read the following information about the Minoans and the Mycenaeans and then answer the questions that follow **in your notebook**.

The Minoans:** Minoan culture developed on the island of Crete in approximately 3,000 B.C.E. Minoan palace murals (wall paintings) and painted pottery show us a great sea culture, fueled by fishing, farming, and local arts. The Minoans were master sailors and set up long-distance trade routes with Spain, Egypt, Canaan, and Asia Minor. Socially, the Minoans were an egalitarian (equal) culture, with both men and women holding respected positions in the fields of religion, agriculture, and craftwork. Recreation enjoyed by the Minoans included dancing to music and song, "bull-leaping" - and boxing, complete with boxing gloves and mouth guards. The remarkable peace-loving character of the Minoan civilization is obvious because they didn't have fortresses, war equipment, and painted battle scenes among the remains of their settlements. The Minoan civilization is historically important to Greece because it was the model for the Mycenaean (pronounced my-sih-NEE-in) civilization which is considered the earliest developed culture on mainland Greece.
 * __The Origins of the Greeks__

Mycenae was settled in 2,700 B.C.E. Most of the myths about ancient Greek heroes and their famous battles come to us from the Mycenaeans. Later Greek poets such as Homer used these tales in their writings. The Mycenaeans spoke an early form of the Greek language, and developed an agricultural economy based on grains, grapes, and olives. Like the Minoans, they traded by sea with Egypt and Asia Minor. Unlike the Minoans, the Mycenaeans devoted most of their energies to developing a strong military. The circular royal tombs of Mycenae reveal collections of decorated uniforms, elaborate helmets, chariots, daggers, and axes. Horses were also extremely important to the Mycenaeans, as they were the vehicles of war. Mycenaean documents suggest that their society was hierarchical, with kings and soldiers in positions of power at the top of society, and prisoners of war who became slaves at the bottom of society who served the kings and soldiers. Other than artwork showing religious festivals and musical performances, very few artifacts of entertainment were left by the Mycenaeans.
 * The Mycenaeans:**

//1. What did the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations have in common?// //2. In what ways were the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations different?// //3. Why do you think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae?// //4. What other geographical areas, besides Mycenae, might Minoan civilization have influenced?// //5. What aspects of Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations would you expect to have survived in later periods of Greek history?// //6. Using your **textbook pages 256-257**, explain how the decline of the Minoans and the Mycenaeans was similar.//

Assignment 3 __** Think about the activity we did in class as archeologists in Mohenjo-Daro. Using the source above, your ideas, and the notes you took about archeologists ideas, answer the following questions __clearly__ and __completely__ on your wiki page. **Each answer should be at least two sentences long with specific information.**

1. What have you learned about daily life in Mohenjo-Daro from this activity? A. I learned that even during the time in Mohenjo-Daro, they had a complex system, by wells that provided people enough water that lives far away from the well. I also learned that people in Mohenjo-Daro had games, during that old time. They had a cart, which was pulled by animals, and I learned they had something to transport. They had indoor bathrooms,windows,and doors. Even though, it was ancient times, I learned that they were similar as modern cities like today by the complex systems. 2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain. A. They had a government. There was a priest/king structure. They had a regular food supply. They had scale to measure the weights of grains. They had games, which is part of culture. They also had seals. They had writings and drawings. (pictographs) The priest/king and farmers with grains showed different social levels. The great bath showed they were religious. They had different jobs. (The priest/kings, farmers, sewers... etc.) 3. In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city? A. They had drains, and clay pipes. (keeps clean) They had scales, which we still use these days. They had entertainment. The games were an entertainment. They had a religion. 4. Why do you think it is difficult for us to know exactly what life was like in ancient civilizations like those in the Indus-Sarasvati region? A. Because of wars or destruction, many things were destroyed. We couldn't read their writings. They didn't have enough artifacts. Because no one lives there. 5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro? A. I think Mohenjo-Daro was declined by lack of food. As I see in the paper, 'Notes About Ancient Artifacts and Ruins', as I saw some pictures of the artifacts, I can see that the place was not that fertile, because it seems as a desert. I also think that maybe there weren't enough population in the place. Because the rivers near dried out, so the people of Mohenjo-Daro moved away. I also think maybe rebellion. Or, maybe someone else tried to invade Mohenjo-Daro. Earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes were in Mohejo-Daro, which is some of the natural disasters.

= = =**__ Assignment 2 __** Website: [|Indus Valley] = Use the website above to answer these questions. Write your answers in **complete sentences** with **clear details** on your wiki page. 1.

Directions: Look at the map above, read the text below, and answer the following questions on your wiki page:

I**n the 1990's, satellite pictures revealed an ancient, dried riverbed located in India's present-day Thar Desert. Geologists have identified this riverbed as the route of the ancient** Sarasvati River**. The Sarasvati lay east of the Indus River and generally followed the same course, originating in the Himalaya mountains and emptying into the Arabian Sea. Geologists believe that the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E. Over time, the once fertile area around the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E. Over time, the once fertile area around the Sarasvati evolved into the dry, hot desert that exists today.**
 * Early Indian agricultural settlements arose in the Indus-Sarasvati river region at least as far back as 6500 B.C.E. Like many other ancient peoples, the early Indians settled by rivers. They settled primarily on the banks of the Sarasvati River as well as along the banks of the Indus River. These rivers provided the ancient Indians with plenty of water, and the land near the rivers was fertile and excellent for growing crops. The rivers also provided the Indians with a convenient way to travel and trade among themselves and with other civilizations. Archeologists have found artifacts from the Indus-Sarasvati civilization - such as carved seals - in Mesopotamia's Sumer. These discoveries have led scholars to believe that the early Indians traded with Mesopotamia, possibly by traveling in ships down the Indus and Sarasvati rivers to the Arabian Sea and then west to Sumer and other locations. **
 * After the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E., the Indus-Sarasvati Indians moved to more habitable areas, such as the fertile banks of the Ganga river further east. Archeological evidence shows, however, that people settled by the Ganga River as far back as 5000 B.C.E. **

__New Kingdom's new paragraph:__ During the New Kingdom, the pharaohs were all very powerful, and expanded their territory in Egypt. However, before the New Kingdom began, before that has a whole new story. Before the New Kingdom was ruled by one person, in 1560 B.C.E, these strangers invaded some parts of Egypt. One of the strangers, the Hyksos controlled the Nile Delta, which is the northern part of the Egypt. The other stranger was the Nubians who controlled the southern part of the Egypt. These strangers lived in Egypt for 150 years controlling the southern and the northern Egypt. The Egyptians lived in the Thebes, which is the small land between the Hyksos and the Nubians. The pharaoh of the Thebes was mad, so he went to fight the Hyksos first. However, when he tried to invade the Nile Delta, the Hyksos hit the pharaoh's head with and ax. So of course, the pharaoh of the Thebes died. The dead pharaoh's sons, Kamos and Ahmose wanted to pay back, kill the Hyksos, and invade the Nile Delta. They were certainly MAD. When Kamos and Ahmose was getting ready to battle, they tried to collect as many soldiers as they can from their citizens. However, the citizens were satisfied, and that they were living fine, and they said there is no need to battle. However later when the New Kingdom began, one of the son, Ahmose conquered the U.E and L.E. Both lands were conquered by one pharaoh, Ahmose.

They were kept in jars with heads of goddess or gods. 5. What did they do with the heart? Why? A.

What happens to the body after it was mummified? A. It goes into its mummy case, and the mummy case goes into the sarcophagus. Then, it is ready for the afterlife.

= = =__Assignment 4__= I like the Bastet god, because it protected the humans when in trouble or at danger. She would also protect the king if in battle. I think she is a very helpful god who can save the people in anytime, any where. I didn't like the Osiris god, because he is the god of the underworld, which is the god of death. If people die, why don't they just die and get reborn quick? Also, how he looks is a bit... not matching with the underworld and the death. Death usually means black, but Osiris is wearing mostly all white. I don't really like him in these ways. I saw that Osiris is similar to the Nergal, which they both are the gods of the underworld. I think some of the Egyptians and the Mesopotamia gods have similar gods, because it's not like every time you ALWAYS think differently with your friends. The people die after they live, so maybe the Egyptians and the Mesopotamian people had the same thought. 'Hmm... maybe after the people die, there should be another world where people can live again until they get reborn.' And so, they probably made the underworld with the gods. = = = =
