The Dariuns had a fight, Darius sent 200 ships and 20,000 troops to the Aegean Sea of Marathon, a town 26 miles north of Athens. The Athenians had only 9000 soldiers so they sent their famous runner Pheidippides to go to Sparta and ask for help but they couldn't help as they've got a religious festival going on and can't send any troops for several days. So the Athenians used the best military strategy. Some of the generals in Athens wanted to stay but the leader Miltiades disagreed and sent him and the troops to fight! So they won by 6400 Persians died but only 192 Athenians died. So Pheidippides ran to Athens (26 miles) to tell the victory but he unfortunately died of exhaustion.

ANCIENT GREECE

=__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.//

==== **Answer the following questions clearly and with details on your wiki page.** 1. What varna were you in during the caste system simulation? ====

====My favorite part of the caste system was telling Sudras around because it was funny and it made me feel like a high person. ====

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?

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?
Because it is such a long time ago and the way they live from than to now is a very big difference. The samples for eg. (necklace,weights) might be all gone because as I said its been such a long time. So this is what I think about this question. We can't read their writings. Ancient India isn't a common subject to know

 * 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?

It uses symbols and have the same shapes for the places.

2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map?

Dots, I think it represents the people who fist settled in that place??? Sarasvati River is not on my map... 3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Saravati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details.

I think it is because it is very fertile which means it is very good for farming and I think there might be clear water and it is close to the Cyber Pass which means is good for trading

4. Accurately label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map.

5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River?

The place they settled was drying up so they eventually migrated to a fertile place such as the Ganga river. ||

Assignment 12 Now that we are finished with the ancient Egypt unit, I would like you to reflect on what you have learned about ancient Egypt. 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... The time of the kingdoms, all of the pharaohs and the history of what was happening on those time was very helpful to learn about the Ancient Egypt's history.

2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was... The Hyksos because the dates were a little confusing, some says before and some says after 1700 BC 3. What surprised me the most was... Pharaoh Tuk ruled Egypt the age of 7!!!!!!

4. I would like to know more about... Definitely Tuk's history because I think he will be an intersting topic to talk about.

5. The part that I think I will always remember was... The risotto stone in the British museum (angry dude) I don't know if this was that important to our subject but this is always the one that pops in my mind, and I think the videos you show is very interesting to see and easy to understand. And I think the stone should go back to Egypt.

The New Kingdoms was a time when Egypt became more wealthy and creative the before which means made more buildings,temples and tombs. A group from Southwest Asia called the Hyksos, they used horses, chariots, and advanced weapons to take over the South of Egypt. Unfortunately the Hyksos took over and became pharaohs for 200 years. And in the other hand was the Nubians, they had taken over the North of Egypt. The Egyptians eventually fought back(meaning the Hyksos and the Egytians had a battle ), however. In the middle of the 1500s BC, Ahmose of Thebes made himself king and kicked the Hyksos out of Egypt. Ahmose then took in charge of all Egypt. Triumph also brought Egyptian traders into contact with more distant lands. Egypt’s trade expanded along with its empire.Many of the lands that Egypt took over also had valuable resources for trade. The Sinai Peninsula, for example, had a LOT supplies of turquoise and copper and Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut, She sent Egyptian traders south to trade with the kingdom of Punt on the Red Sea and north to trade with people in Asia Minor and Greece. Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut and later pharaohs used the money they gained from trade to help the arts and architecture. Hatshepsut is mostly remembered for the many nice monuments and temples built during her reign. The best known of these structures was a magnificent temple built for her near the city of Thebes.  Assignment 7 =  Read ** **the information here about the three kingdoms** **  in ancient Egypt. The problem with these three paragraphs is that each paragraph does not have specific details or evidence. Your task is to find specific details and evidence from our textbook for the information presented in each paragraph about each kingdom. Then re-write the paragraph adding the new specific details and evidence you found. Write the new paragraph on your wiki page.

**The New Kingdom (1500 BCE-1000 BCE): ** 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.

NOTES... The New Kingdom is a time when Egypt became more wealthy and creative than before and made more buildings, temple and tombs. When the New Kingdom Egypt was divided in two separate parts, north and south. The north was controlled by the Hyksos and the south was controlled by the Nubians. The Hyksos and the Nubians controlled Egypt for a 150 years. The Hyksos were very violent and brutal. The Hyksos killed the father of Kammos. The Nubians were more darker than the Egyptians. The Egyptians did not like being ruled by forerunner.

The Hyksos and the Nubians were going to join together to get rid of the Egyptians.

= =  The New Kingdom (1570 BCE - 1070 BCE) Specific details and evidence about this kingdom can be found on pages 102-103 in our textbook. Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...
