=__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? I was Kshatriya during the caste system simulation. 2. What was your favorite part about the caste system simulation? Why? My favorite part about the caste system simulation was when Visayas and Sudras gave goods to us. And also my favorite part was when I was supposed to do nothing and just watch, and tell the Visayans and Sudras what to do sometimes. 3. What part of the simulation made you angry, upset, or frustrated? Why? At the simulation, it made me angry when the Brahnins got everything what they need. And it made me kind of feel bad about the Sudras, because they're just like slaves and nothing much, and didn't get anything. 4. Do you think this system is fair? Why or why not? I think that this system wasn't fair, because like I said at number 3, Brahnins got everything what they need. And the Sudras always had to work, getting no credit. But at least Kshatriyas got something. And of course Vaisyas too, but not more than Kshatriyas. 5. Do you think a society should organize people into social classes? Why or Why not? I don't think a society should organize people into social classes. My reasons are that again, it's not fair for other Sudras. And, that means Sudras and Vaisyas wouldn't get that much. Like even though they work harder and more than Brahmins and Kshatriya, they get less money and treat poorly.

1. What have you learned about daily life in Mohenjo-Daro from this activity? I learned that people of Mohenjo-Daro lived a similar life as ours, because they had houses, in the house they had windows, bathroom and etc. Also drains, jewelries like necklace and mens had trimmed beard and etc, which means they cared a lot about their appearance and liked to make things. And had wells. People of Monhenjo-Daro also played games just like us, also had religious ceremony, used different weights and scales used for other measuring things and had seals.

2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain. A regular food supply that is not likely to suddenly change. Because the carts were used for transportation, like grains, wheat and etc, which means they had food and they transported them. Also, the object that used for different weights and scales, it was used for trading, but also to measure food like grains, to know how much it costs. Also system of goverment, the priest king was the king. And they had different jobs, like their are carts, they transported foods, which means their were farmers. And they traded a lot with the carts, so their were traders. 3. In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city? They're lots and lots of ways that Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city. So first, people of Mohenjo-Daro had houses, just like now we have, bathroom, windows and etc. Also, played games, they had tracks, dice and etc to play the game just like now we have, for example like chess. People of Mohenjo-Daro also had drains, and the dirty water will empty in Indus River, just like what we do. Also had jewelries and etc.

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? I thing it is difficult for us to know exactly what life was like in ancient civilizations like those in the Indus-Sarasvati region because the seals that were found were curved with pictographs and symbols, that we don't know. Ancient Egypt have a Rosetta Stone, so it was easy to understand. But, a lot of ancient civilizations don't have the thing like Rosetta Stone, I guess. Also, a lot of things, their buildings were destroyed. Also, since they left Sarasvati River, everything was disappeared. And a lot of people doesn't know about the Indus-Sarasvati region, they know more about like Ancient Egypt.

5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro? I think that the Sarasvati River might have dried up, so it might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro, like the natural disaster.

 * __ Assignment 1 __**


 * 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.

1. In what ways is your map similar to the one that you see in the map above? My map is similar to the map above by ways of showing physiographic features of India. Like, rivers, mountains and etc. It was same, like there was Indus River in mine and there were Indus River in the map above as well.
 * Questions:**

2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? I can identify on this map there is Sarasvati River but 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 that settlements developed along the Indus and Saravati rivers because these rivers gave the ancient Indians with plenty of water, and of course the land near the rivers was fertile. The rivers were excellent for growing crops and the Indians with a convenient way to travel and trade among themselves and with other civilizations.

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

5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River? Ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River because, the river might have dried up.



__ Ancient Egypt __

=__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 that Egypt had three kingdoms, Old, Middle and New kingdoms. And every each pharaoh, events and etc that happened. I also think that the three kingdoms had lots of information in each.

2. There weren't something that confused me or that I didn't understand, because of the projects we did, podcast and all these videos really helped me to understand than just reading an article about it. Also, some of the information about Egypt wasn't really new for me, like for example the pyramids and I knew kind of about the mummifying and etc but not that detailed.

3. What surprised me the most was the female ruler called Queen Hatshepsut, I first can't believe there was ever a female ruler in the world. And now I know Queen Hatshepsut is. It would have been very hard for to dress up like a men, trade things and she needs to be strong, like brave. I'm just so proud of Queen Hatshepsut.

4. I would like to know more about the pyramids, like more detailed. For example I really wonder even though the pharaoh like Khufu asked all these people to build the pyramid for him, and gave them things, what they want, I can't believe they risk their life, like half or more of there lives. I just wonder why all agreed, can't they all group up together and tell Khufu they don't want to do it?

5. The part that I think I will always remember is that Step Pyramid, the Step Pyramid was the first ever built stone buildings! That fact is too hard to forget.

=__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 Old Kingdom (2700 BCE - 2200 BCE) ** Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...** Pyramids are enormous stone tombs with triangle shaped sides that met in a point on top. Egyptians believed that burial sites, royal tombs were important, so they built monuments in which to bury their rulers. Egyptians built Great Pyramid of Khufu and it covers more than 13 acres at its base and stands 481 feet high. The Great Pyramid of Khufu took thousands of workers and more than 2 million limestone blocks to build. Early pyramids didn't have smooth sides like the normal pyramid. Egyptian started to build pyramids like we imagine from 2700BC. The pyramids were filled and covered with limestone, and the burial chamber was deep inside the pyramid. So, after the pharaoh's burial, the workers sealed the passages with big rocks. And to build like single pyramid, they needed 100,000 workers. The workers were paid with grain instead of money. The size and shape of the pyramid were symbolic and pointing to the skies. Pyramid symbolized the pharaoh's journey to the afterlife. Egyptians' best work were the pyramid, the burial place of the pharaohs. Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...** The difference with the Old Kingdom was that the wealth and power of the pharaohs declined and now, building pyramids costed lots of money. And, the pharaohs also couldn't collect enough taxes to keep up with their expenses. So, nobles gained enough power to challenge the pharaohs with their government positions to take power from pharaohs. So the Old Kingdom fell their were no ruler in their. So around 2050 BC, a powerful pharaoh defeated his rivals and Egypt was united one more time. So that was how Middle Kingdom was born. But, toward the end of the Middle Kingdom, Egypt began to fall into disorder once more. Around 1750 BCE, a group that was called hyksos and was from southest asia, invaded Egypt. The Hyksos used horses, chariots, and advanced weapons to take over Lower Egypt, but eventually, Egyptains fought back and Ahmose of Thebes declared himself as a king adn drove the Hyksos out of Egypt. So, Ahmose ruled all of Egypt.

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 buried in the same geographic area called the Valley of the Kings. --- Egypt conquered Euphrates river to the Sourthen Nubia and expanded to the Red sea, and western Dessert.In New Kingdom, Egypt became better and richer, they built great temples, the tombs, gold and valuable jewelries and etc from it. Before New Kingdom, Egypt was dived and united again, it was the Hyksos, who controlled the northern part of Egypt. And to the southern part, the Nubians. These invaders controlled the part of Egypt for 150 years. The Egypt's pharaohs hated formers, also formed by formers but they were very strong. Hatsheput helped by trading goods with other empire and Ramesses ll fought against the Hitties. One of the Egypt's pharaoh, who's father was dead by the Hyksos in a huge rock, wrote that he's going to evaporate Egypt and crush the Hyksos. Later, the messengers of the Hyksos were carrying a message that requested the Nubians to equally conquer the rest of Egypt, but the messengers were caught and Egypt attacked the Hyksos. So, at the end, Egypt fought back and they trades with trade routes. Egypt trade with their copper and turquoise to the people in Sinai Peninsula.

__ Mesopotamia __

=__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 because of the Mesopotamia, fertile crescent, I learned all those different empires fighting over it. I learned that lots of emperors were mean, like the Hammurabi and etc. And all of the empires, the Chaldeans, Hitties, Assyrians, Akkad and etc.

2. There weren't something that confused me or that I didn't understand, because it wasn't really hard. Like also, it was easy to understand, because Mr. Tabbara explained it well, played games like Dotville, trader game and etc to understand who they lived, what's it like and etc.

3. What surprised me the most was the Assyrians. Because Assur-Uballit made a sculptor with people's skull and killed a lot of people more then before emperors. So that really surprised me.

4. I would like to know more about Nebuchadnezzar, the emperor of the Chaldeans. The reason is that Nebuchadnezzar rebuilt Babylon and also made the famous Hanging Garden filled with flowers and trees.

5. The part that I think I will always remember was Sargon. He was really the mean emperor. If he really didn't start mean taking over Mesopotamia, other emperor won't use what Sargon did.

I would like to be Anu, the sky god, because Anu is a supreme ruler of all of the gods. Also, Anu is an important Mesopotamia god. And, I want to be the ruler of all of the gods because you can have have almost all of the powers. Anu is also charged of the Bull of Heaven, so If were Anu, I can send the Bull of Heaven to anyone who insults the gods and etc.

I do not want to be Humbaba( Huwawa), the monster in the Epic of Gilgamesh who guards the cedar forest in the Lebanon mountains. My reasons are that he is a monster, which means he is mean, cruel and etc. So I don't like cruel and mean stuff, so that's why I would not want to be Humbaba. Humbaba also gets killed in the end, by Gilgamesh and Enkidu, and I like Gilgamesh and Enkidu, so I don't want them to kill me, so do not want to be Humbaba.

 * Directions:** Read the questions/directions carefully and write **clear and detailed** answers on your wiki page.

1. Read the "If you were there..." section on page 74. How will you advise the King? I will advice the king that common people should be punished equally, because people are people, so no matter people are rich are poor they should be punished equally. 2. What happened to Ur by 2000 BCE? On 2000 B.C.E, Ur lay in ruins, with Ur’s power gone, several waves of invaders battled to gain control of Mesopotamia. 3. Where was Babylon located? Babylon was located in Euphrates River near what is today Baghdad, Iraq. 4. Who became the king of Babylon? When did he become king? In 1792 BC, Hammurabi (ham-uh-RAHB-ee) became Babylon’s king. 5. What is a monarch? Monarch is a a ruler of a kingdom or empire. 6. After conquering all of Mesopotamia, what did Hammurabi call his empire? Hammurabi call his empire, Babylonian Empire, after his capital. 7. Hammurabi was a great warrior and leader. What other skills did he have? The skills that Hammurabi had was also was an able ruler who could govern a huge empire. He oversaw many building and irrigation projects and improved Babylon’s tax collection system to help pay for them. And also brought much prosperity through increased trade. Hammurabi, however, is most famous for his code of laws. 8. What is Hammurabi's Code? What areas of daily life did the code cover? Hummurabi's Code was a set of 282 laws that dealt with almost every part of daily life the laws on everything from trade, loans, and theft to marriage, injury, and murder. 9. Give two reasons why Hammurabi's Code was important. The two reasons are that written down for all to see. People all over the empire could read exactly what was against the law. 10. What eventually happened to the Babylonian Empire? How is this similar to what happened to the Akkadian Empire? After Hammurabi died, Babylonian Empire came to an end. And it is similar to what happened to the Akkadian Empire, because when Sargon died, Akkadian Empire came to an end too. 11. Read the different laws in the [|Code of Hammurabi on this site] and choose **three** that you think are interesting. __**Copy**__ the three laws and their **numbers** onto your page. Then for **each** law, explain why you think it's interesting. You can write about if you disagree or agree with the law or if you think the law is a good law or a cruel law. 6. If any one steal the property of a temple or of the court, he shall be put to death, and also the one who receives the stolen thing from him shall be put to death. This law is not that interesting but useful, like it it right, like I don't agree that the one who stole the property of a temple of the court shall put to death, but kind of agree the one who receives should put to death, because the one who receives might be like saying to the person who needs to steal the property, like "If you don't steal it and give it to me, I will kill you!" So I kind of agree on this, it is like 50% of a good law, and a 50% of a cruel law to me.

14. If any one steal the minor son of another, he shall be put to death. This law is kind of interesting, but I don't think we really use this right now as our law, but I kind of agree on this. Stealing somebody's minor son is a bad thing, but I don't really think that the other father or mother will care, because it's like their minor son. So I kind of disagree on this law (for the person who stole it to be in death) and agree it is a bad thing to steal something even though it's not that important to them. So I don't really like this law and I think this is a bad, cruel, law.

21. If any one break a hole into a house (break in to steal), he shall be put to death before that hole and be buried. This law isn't that interesting, because it's so cruel! Like, just because that any one break a hole into a house to steal something is not a problem that he or she should get killed and be buried! This is so cruel! being buried?!? I don't think that this is a good law, this is a bad, cruel law....
