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? The common part of Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations is, they both trade by the sea. And they had music. 2. In what ways were the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations different? Mycenaean was about war. And they had many levels of government. But the Minoan was about was about peace and happiness where they didn't have social levels.// //3. Why do you think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae?// //I think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae b//ecause, the //Minoan might think that they should change their rules and make a social level like the// Mycenaeans because they where like a big model to them. And the //aspects would be like a sord that they used for war.// //4. What other geographical areas, besides Mycenae, might Minoan civilization have influenced?// I think they might //have influenced// the moiuntains becase it would be a good place to build a house or they could use it as a farmland. //5. What aspects of Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations would you expect to have survived in later periods of Greek history? I think music would survived in later periods of Greek history because music is very interesting and fun to play and hear for entertainment.// //6. Using your textbook pages 256-257, explain how the decline of the Minoans and the Mycenaeans was similar.// The two civilizations are similar because they both got //destroyed// by a natural disaster,Mycenaeans was an earthquake and Minoans where by volcano. = =

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

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.
 * 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.


 * Questions:**

1. In what ways is your map similar to the one that you see in the map above? They both have the eight Physiographic feature like the Himalaya Mountains on the map 2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? More rivers near the Indus river like the Saravati River that wasn't labeled on my map. 3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Saravati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. I think the settlements developed along the Indus and Saravati River because the River provide plenty of water and the land near the river are fertile so it's easy to grow crops. And it was near the kiber pass so it was a good trade route. 4. Accurately draw and label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map. 5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River? Because the River dried up.
