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.

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.

1. The single most important thing that I learned was that about Mauryan Empire. It was interesting because when Asoka became Buddhist, he stopped the war and it was peaceful. It was very interesting that Buddhism could change the people.

2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was about the caste system. I know what it is but sometimes it was confusing.

3. What surprised me the most was Buddha didn't agree with many parts of Hinduism. I thought that both religions were from the same country, so I thought the ideas of both religions would be same but it was not, so I was surprised.

4. I would like to know more about Indian achievements like the numbers, medicine, and etc. This is because I was not here last class and I would like to learn about it.

5. The part that I think I will always remember is that after Mauryan empire collapse, India was divided for hundred years. I think this is because I was the sage of the Mauryan empire and I felt like expert and felt very mad that after Mauryan empire India was divided in 2 when it was very peaceful. It felt like one of the mauryan people. =__Assignment 9__=

Things that I learned about daily life in Mohenjo-Daro is that people there lives similar to now these days. They have houses, roads, transportation (cart) and etc. The small cart made of terracotta. It is used when they trade with others, toy for kids, to move heavy things like bricks, transportation and etc. I think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city because it has every thing (object) that they need and they have lots of now days object like

 * 2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain.**
 * 3. In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city?**

Difficult for us to know exactly what life was like in ancient civilizations like those in the Indus-Sarasvati region because people cannot read what it says on architecture. I think they cannot read because there are no people living at that place and also it is not in english! I think drying water (river) constributed Mohenjo-Daro because if there are no water, then the people cannot drink and eat. (No food, Can't plant seeds...)

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. = = **Questions:** = = 1.

 * what new territories were conquered
 * names of pharaoh's involved in expansion
 * wars or battles and who was involved
 * trading (who and what)


 * New Kingdom:** The new kingdom was Egypt's expansion period. Egypt expanded her borders through military conquest and became a world power. During the time period of the new kingdom, pharaohs were all powerful, and pharaohs were all buried in the same geographic area called the Valley of the Kings.

Also they became more rich by the conquest of military. Some kingdoms conquered treasure to conquerors. Then conquerors helped contacting with other lands. Some kingdoms sent some golds, leopard skins and lots of things that might not be in Egypt to the pharaohs. Hatshepsut is one of main person who made trading systems in Egypt. New kingdom was expanded to the red sea and to the western desert. The queen Hashepsut and Ramesses II was involved in New kingdom. They battle the Hittes, Hyksos, Nubians and Greece. Before the New kingdom Egypt was divided. Hyksos controlled North part of Egypt and Nubians controlled south part of Egypt. They controlled for 150 years. Egypt leaders were having a battle. Hyksos was also involved.
