=__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?// They both liked to draw and even make war vehicles and weapons.

//2. In what ways were the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations different?// Minoans had equal social level, but in Mycenaeans, they had the prisoners to be the slaves.

//3. Why do you think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae?// I think one person in one of the two cities went to another city and told everything what happened, how ever some were not used because they thought it was useless.

//4. What other geographical areas, besides Mycenae, might Minoan civilization have influenced?// I think Minoan have influenced when they wanted to attack another city, but they couldn't go faster then on land.

//5. What aspects of Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations would you expect to have survived in later periods of Greek history?// I think they became more violent and take advantage to take over the whole Greece.

//6. Using your **textbook pages 256-257**, explain how the decline of the Minoans and the Mycenaeans was similar. They both are similar because the panted pictures on the bowl is the thing that they really believed on like Minoans believed in water because they were in a island. The color of the bowl or the tablet for Mycenaeans had a warrior and the color of it is gold that tells it was sunny while fighting.//

=__Assignment 10__= Now that we are finished our unit about ancient India, I would like you to reflect on what you have learned. Please answer clearly and with details. Each answer must be at least two sentences. If you need reminders of what we did, just scroll through the assignments on this page or look through your notes.

1. The single most important thing I learned was...

Scientific Advances because, there were surgeries during that time. I didn't know that in that time, they could put ears and nose back to normal when it is cut off. I thought that they just had to die or just sow the skin and the nose, but I was wrong...

2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was...

I didn't understand how Buddha meditated, (how and until). And I didn't really get the monks, like how they told him when they are supposed to meditate. I wonder what Siddhartha's mom and dad thought about their son not controlling the world and just meditating.

3. What surprised me the most was...

What surprised me the most was, that Siddhartha was noble and then became a Buddha. I really didn't know before learning about India that Siddhartha was noble and became Buddha. (rich-poor)...

4. I would like to know more about...

How people in Gupta period can do surgeries. I wonder how those people found out the way to put things back in place to a human. I want to know more about how the people thought and had the idea about surgery.

5. The part that I think I will always remember was...

The part that I think I will always remember was, that Siddhartha was Buddha's real name. I think that Siddhartha had a unique name of Buddha. I always wanted to know what Buddha's real name was. Because there is always different name when a person become famous.

=** __Assignment 1__ ** **Source: [|IndiaSubcontinentMapTrans.jpg]** **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. = = = = **Questions:** = = 1.

 * Part 1

The Old Kingdom (2700 BCE - 2200 BCE) Specific details and evidence can be found on pages 98-100 in our textbook. Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...** Part 1 Pharaohs had absolute power and were considered gos on earth. But that's not why this kingdom is nicknamed "The Pyramid Age". Pharaohs were buried in pyramids only during this time period in history After building a few pyramids, at great expense to the state, it occurred to pharaohs that pyramids were rather easy to spot, and thus, much easier to to rob than a hidden tomb. Things changed during the middle kingdom. (**My Words)-**The tombs in the Pyramid was very important for the Egyptians. Egyptians made a big model for the Pharaoh and one of it was Pyramid. The Pyramids were made by huge Limestone and stone tombs. During the Old Kingdom, they made the Pyramids. The largest pyramid in Egypt was the Great Pyramid or Khufu, It is the biggest in Giza. It is about 13 acres and 481 feet tall. For one of the Pyramids it took a lot of workers and a lot of Lime stones. I older Pyramids had a rough side and In 2700 B.C, they started to make the smooth Pyramid. Scientist is sure that there was millions of people who worked for one Pyramid. The Burial In the Pyramid was really important for the pharaoh. The Egyptians thought that if they made the Pyramid well made, then it was a link for them to the gods. The another word for Book of the Dead or The Book of the Gate is Pyramid Text. Specific details and evidence about this kingdom can be found on pages 101-102 in our textbook. Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...** Part 2 The middle kingdom was Egypt's Golden Age. Trade flourished, arts and literature flourished. Egypt buit strong armies to defend herself against her neighbors. During the time period of the middle kingdom, pharaohs were expected to be good kings and wise rulers. And pharaohs were buried in hidden tombs, all over the place. Most probably, there are tombs yet to be discovered because they were hidden so well. (**My Words)-** The middle Kingdom didn't collect much taxes than the Old Kingdom. In the Old Kingdom, the nobles took control of the pharaoh. In the middle Kingdom the noble tried to take over the pharaoh but gaining more power. In 2200 B.C, the pharaoh fell and the noble took the pharaoh's place for 160 years. After 160 Years in Old Kingdom, a famous pharaoh won all of the nobles who were trying to take his place. And he called it Middle Kingdom. The Middle Kingdom lasted until 1750 B.C. It was a hard life because after having a new pharaoh, they had a war later on. It was the pharaoh's responsibility to prevent wars and involve it.

Egypt had a powerful pharaoh in 2050 BC and united the Egypt. It is called the Middle Kingdom. How ever, the New Kingdom (after Middle Kingdom) conquered more lands and more people. The territory expanded until Ufratis to Mesopotamia. The Egyptian people expanded to Red Sea and more in the western desert. During the New Kingdom, pharaohs in Egypt were powerful. In Valley of the Kings, Most of the famous and powerful pharaohs who died made their tombs in Vally of the Kings. About 1750 B.C an South Western Asia, a country called Hyksos invaded Egyptian's Lower Egypt. The Egyptians also fought Nubians. What weapons they used to fight against the Egyptians, were horses, chariots, stronger and better stuff, and etc. The Hyksos ruled over Lower Egypt about 200years. Finally, when Ahmose became the Egyptian Pharaoh, he conquered the Lower Egypt back. Hatshepsut was a Queen but no one realized because she wears cloth like a man. First, people thought women can not be a pharaoh but later on people thought that she was a men. When she was a pharaoh, she had a lot of pharaoh. Later, Egypt conquered the Upper Egypt until Syria, (Mesopotamia). Egyptians got richer and richer because they conquered more land and found jewelries and etc. Egypt land was a good place for trading because of the peninsula. Queen Hatshepsut made more trading systems in Egypt Peninsula. All that money, they used it for architecture and drawings. Ramses (the great) fought the Hitties from Asia and it lasted an year and no one won. Because of the Nile Delta, there were several things that was bad for the empire. When Ramses (the great died), suddenly the Sea people and Hitties started to attack Egypt. They still won the fight but they lost a lot of lands and that was the end of the Golden Age.

 * []
 * Source:** How to Mummify Nefermaat
 * Directions:** Go to the link above to mummify a body. As you work to mummify the body, answer the following questions __**clearly and with details**__ on your wiki page.
 * 1) Why did Egyptians want to [|preserve] dead bodies? I think they wanted to preserve the dead bodies because they were high peoples. I think they thought that the body is going to be the same shape in the after life to.
 * 2) How did they [|preserve] bodies? What is this process of preservation called? They preserved the bodies by putting natron on the body. If they put natron for 40days then, it makes the body dried. I think that makes it not decay for along time. The organs was in the linens, the gods.
 * 3) Explain how the brain was removed from the dead body. Why was the brain removed? I think it first had to be broken and separated. After that way, you have to take out the brain by the metal hooks going in to his nose. I think the brains would decay in his skull, so I think they took it out. They thought the brain wasn't important for the pharaoh.
 * 4) Name the four internal organs that were removed from the body. What was done with these organs? First, you take out the intestine, then you put the intestine in the falcon god's jar. Next you have to remove the stomach, the stomach belongs to the jackal the wild dog jar. After you have to remove the liver, then have to put it in the human jar. In the last, you have to take out the lungs, then it belongs to the baboon headed god jar.
 * 5) What did they do with the heart? Why? Since they didn't do anything to the heart, I think that they leaved the heart alone. I don't thing they put it in a other jar because in the game, there isn't any fact that says they put the heart in another special god's jar.
 * 6) What is natron and why was it used? Using your scribble map of Egypt, name the area where natron came from. Natron is a salt that makes things get dried and not decay. But you have to do that to the pharaoh for 40 days. Wadialnotron is a place where the Egypt people got natrons.
 * 7) How was [|linen] used during mummification? Linen was used to wrapping the pharaoh's body around to make it tight.
 * 8) What are [|amulets] and how were they used? Give two examples of amulets that were used and explain why they were used. One is jackal that looks like a wild dog, you have to put Then the third god is the human god.Amulets were used small objects that were used for defeat the evils.
 * 9) What happens to the body after it is mummified? After the pharaoh's body was covered with the mask, it was covered with case, then it was in the sarcophagus.
 * Part 1:** Go to this [|site] and read about the different Egyptian gods and goddesses . Choose one of these that you would like to be and explain why you would like to be that god or goddess . Then choose one that you would __**not**__ want to be and explain why. Make sure your explanations are **middle school quality explanations**.

I would like to be Sobek because he is the Nile God. I think I will be rich like a pharaoh when I am in charge of the Nile River because if you block the Nile River and make the river dry, then every one will die of thirst. So if your in charge of the Nile river, then you can be like the best god. I wish you can be like a pharaoh if your a Nile river god. I think you can even tell when there is going to be a flood and when there is going to have a drought. I don't think he can still drink the mud water from the Nile river, I think he should clean it to to drink it. I think from telling that the god is mixed with crocodile, bird, and a person, it tells me that in Nile river, crocodiles are the strongest water animals they ever saw.

I would not like to be a Sekhmet because She can be cold hearten and make a lot of big wars. It's not always good if your a god of war. But in the other hand there is a good thing to that you are a god of war. you might put your self out of the war and never make you die, however if your not her friend or maybe be mean at them, then she might kill you by making a war. I wish I make no wars if I'm that god because it is unfair to keep on making wars when they are not even ready to fight. So I think every gods will hate the god of war. Wars are very dangerous and can kill a lot of people who are innocent. I think the Egyptians called lion mixed with a woman because lion is the strongest animal on land and a woman because that time woman was more mean. That was my opinion.


 * Part 2:** Compare these Egyptian gods and goddesses with the [|Mesopotamian gods and goddesses]. Did you find similar gods? Name the gods/goddesses and clearly explain the similarities? Why do you think they are similar even though Egypt and the Mesopotamian civilizations were different?

There is Nephthys and Nergal is mostly the same. They're the god's of the underworld I think the Mesopotamia thought the same as the Egyptians because it's actually easy to think about underworld god. Or maybe when Sargon or any of the Mesopotamia's hero's were conquering lands, there might be people who ran away to Egypt and got a lot of money by telling about the gods.

I think Hathor and Ishtar is the same. They both are gods of love, But I think Mesopotamia is not that clever because in Egypt there is to of the god that represents one god in Mesopotamia. The other Egypt god that is the god of war is Sekhmet. I don't know how Egypt and Mesopotamia founded the gods. I know for sure that Egypt was clever and more simple(not confusing), and Mesopotamia's gods are really simple. Some of the gods are confusing what they do because a lot of them are scarce. =__Assignment 3__= Directions: After playing __**five**__ classmates' games, go to the discussion tab of each classmate and __**respectfully**__ give them your opinion about their game.

 * Source: Read pages 93 & 94 in your online textbook**
 * Directions: Answer the following questions clearly and with details on your wiki page.**

1. Read the //If YOU were there section//. How do you feel about working for the pharaoh? I think if I were the pharaoh, then it will be so good because you get moneys when your not working and all the people has to work hard. The low people can't keep a lot of money I think they need to grow a lot more crops to feed his family. But the pharaoh can feed his or her family so easily. I wanted to be the pharaoh because in the game you can earn a lot to of candies. In really life because you can earn a lot of food. 2. Eventually the Third Dynasty began in ancient Egypt. The Third Dynasty was the beginning of what historians call ............. . When did it start and end? The historians called the Third Dynasty The old Kingdom. It started in 2700 B.C.E~220 B.C.E. 3. Explain how ancient Egyptians felt about their country and their pharaoh. The ancient Egyptians thought that the pharaoh was send from the gods to look after the Earth. They also thought that the ancient Egypt was the god's land. 4. What were the responsibilities of the pharaoh? The responsibilities for the pharaohs were, had to make wars and trade. 5. What is best known about the famous pharaoh, Khufu? Can you name a specific monument built for him? He was famous a lot because there were a lot of his monument. 6.a Clearly explain the structure of society in the Old Kingdom. (Note: This should be a long answer.) On the way top there was a pharaoh, one step down had nobles, two steps down had Scribes and Craftspeople, then Farmers, Salves, and Servants. 6.b. What may be some advantages and disadvantages of such a large segment of the population being farmers, servants, and slaves? One advantage would be that farmers and servants and slaves can't pay a lot to the pharaoh because they have only littw amount of money. 6.c. What did farmers do during flood season? When their farm was flooded, then the farmers worked hard in the pharaoh's building. 7. Clearly explain trading in ancient Egypt (what was traded and who they traded with). Traders traded Niles to Nubia, to get gold, ivory, copper, slaves, and stone for building. 8. Define the word //**acquire**//. Use //**acquire**// in an original sentence. I tried to acquire my mac-book when i was 5th grade but I couldn't because I was not 6th grade.** 9. Using the drawing of Egyptian society on page 94, explain where Viziers would be placed? Viziers would be placed in front of the nobles and be back of the pharaoh. Viziers are still important because they help the pharaoh, give advice, and do every thing for the pharaoh. The Viziers are like the secretary.

=__Assignment 13__= Now that we are finished with the Mesopotamia unit, I would like you to reflect on what you have learned about Mesopotamia. Please complete these sentences **clearly and with specific details**. Write the answers on your wiki page. If you need reminders of what we did, just scroll through the assignments on this page or look through your notes.

1. The single most important thing I learned was... In Mesopotamia, there is two rivers name Euphrates and Tigris. All of the cities lived near the river. Later on they started to attack cities and made a big empire. Sargon and Hammurabi are the examples of the two great leaders who wanted to conquer over the Mesopotamia to one monopoly. 2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was... Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was in time line and also in scribble maps. To find the exact time and exact place. But now we know a website that tells you all the time and a image that shows you were and were it is. 3. What surprised me the most was... What surprised me the most was that Sargon didn't kill the prisoners he took them as some soldiers and make his army much bigger. He made the army to 1,000 peoples and became the strongest. He never fed his army he took the foods and stuffs that were in the city, but he ate with his armies. 4. I would like to know more about... I would like to know more about the people who gave up to fight for their lives because I think even though they do that, the armies will eventually kill that person or that that person as a slave. 5. The part that I think I will always remember was... The part that I think I will always remember is Hammurabi Codes. i think Hammurabi Codes are good and detailed but some are bad and detailed. =__Assignment 12__= =**Characteristics of Civilization**= =**Empire Name:** **Assyrians**= Team: Farmers, Miners, traders, they made human heads, and artist. || I think many of the jobs are hard. I don't think you can own properly enough money because in trading you have to have plenty of food, get to other countries being safe or sometimes hide because there is a thousands of soldiers trying to get you. Also mining is really bad because if you want to own a lot of money, then mining is the best to own a lot of moneys, but if you breath dust, then your lungs separate and kills you. || Was it difficult to find evidence for the empire you picked? Why or why not?
 * Source: Read pages 76 and 77 in your online textbook**
 * Directions:** Carefully read pages 76-77 and choose one of the empires below. Research the empire you have chosen (two links are provided for each already) and complete **The Characteristics of Civilization Chart** for the empire you chose. Write **clear and detailed** answers in the chart, on your wiki page, then **answer the question** below the chart. You will also have to indicate on your Scribble Map where the civilization you chose came from.
 * ==**Six Characteristics of Civilization**== || ==**Evidence for Characteristic**== || ==**Explanation**== ||
 * A system of government that directs and controls some actions of the members of the society. || Assyrians were captured from the Babylonian emperor named Hammurabi. They wanted independence but they couldn't but one day Tukulti-Ninurt was a leader, in 1233B.C.E ~ 1197 B.C.They started to conquer Babylon. || They got invaded once, but they were winning when they became independent. There was more leader who conquered more countries but I thought this was important because they took a risk to fight against Babylon when they already got invade once. ||
 * A regular food supply that is not likely to suddenly change. || The Assyrians were known a lot for trading things and traveling along way with donkeys going to another country trading things. But later one it unfortunately collapsed. || I think it had a lot of precious thing that other country had because it said that they were famous and most of them were not even hot because they live in dessert, a very hot place. When they live in a very hot place, they have spices and really spicy things. ||
 * Specialization of labor, in which members of the society perform different jobs. || They all have different jobs, some are trading, some are shop, some are artist, and make cloth. Some jobs were even carving on silvers, but they couldn't carve it, but they made mummies. There were also mining that time but a lot of people died because of a dust going in there body and making them cough blood.
 * Different social levels, in which some members of the society are given higher status than others. || Some levels trader, slaves, leaders, and emperor. There is not many levels except these. But these makes a country because they have a ruler, a slave, trader(normal people to), and emperor. I think there is more, but the site didn't tell us more. || I think they have not much to differ a bout because there was no president, vice, secretary, and etc. Because it takes time in in B.C.E, there is a lot fighting going over with lands. ||
 * A highly developed culture including art, architecture, music, literature, science, and writing. || Im not sure but there were only culture and architecture because those are only related with art. Those were potteries and arts. In art, you can make a statue, make a pottery, and make a carving on a tablet or on a wall. || I think art is bad because you can enjoy stuffs making it. If you make stuffs, then you get smarter. Like if you make stuffs, then you can sell it to the shop or even trade.So art is a good use, you can use it or sell it or trade it. ||
 * A religious system, which might include priests and temples. || The Assyrians believed Muda. They had a temple for it because they conquered the same place where the Sumerian were. || I think Assyrians doesn't have a any religion except Judah. I think it is because of Jews invading Assyrians. I also think that there once were but no one found it yet. Seance it isn't in the book, I don't believe that there was a religion. ||

I think Assyrians are hard because there is not that much job and the sites doesn't tell us specific about the job or the social levels. I don't think it tells about the social levels because it only says leader or emperor. I think this country liked to fight a lot because of land.
