=**__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__

Mycenaean 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 Mycenaean 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 // traded by sea with Egypt and Asia Minor. //2. In what ways were the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations different?// Mycenaeans devoted most of their energies to developing a strong military. //3. Why do you think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenaean?// It's because of the root culture. They were the headstart, and they got alot of ideas from the Minoans... //4. What other geographical areas, besides Mycenae, might Minoan civilization have influenced?// Maybe the places they have traded with! They say that as they trade, they trade ideas too! //5. What aspects of Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations would you expect to have survived in later periods of Greek history?// The Mycenaeans' agricultural economy based on grains, grapes, and olives, and war-fare stuffs such as a collections of decorated uniforms, elaborate helmets, chariots, daggers, and axes. //6. Using your **textbook pages 256-257**, explain how the decline of the Minoans and the Mycenaeans was similar.// The declines are similar because both cultures died of a natural disasters... *scary!* The Minoans died because of a flood and a volcano eruption in the North of Crete. The Mycenaeans have declined because of a earthquake or and invasion. =Assignment 1=

 * __Assignment 5__ **

Use the website above to answer these questions.

1. Why would having a central government help in planning and organizing a city? It would help because the layout of cities are very similar throughout. 2. Who were Rajahs? Rajahs are rulers of cities. 3. What is a Guru? Guru is a type of teacher that lives with his students till they become twenty years old. 4. What subjects were taught in school? Religion was taught at school. 5. Who was in charge of the government? The Indus priests were believed to have ruled and took charge of the government. 6. Why did people look up to the priests? People looked up at peists because priests were the ones that made offerings to the gods. 7. Look up the word 'sage' in any dictionary. What does it mean and what word from questions 1-6 is it similar to? It means wise....and maybe it's similar with.........Rajah or Guru! :) It's because Guru have spent a long time with students so maybe that is wise, and a Rajah is a ruler, so he is wise.

1. What varna were you in during the caste system simulation? I was unluckily, a Sudra. 2. What was your favorite part about the caste system simulation? Why? Oh, I // just // ** LOVED ** how the ground was *our* territory. The Vaisyas had to crounch together in 3 three chairs, though there were 5 people. The Kshatriyas had 1 chair per person, but they can't lie down and relax, they have to sit. And the Brahmins can't lie down either, and they get teased too because Brahmins wear something like dippers. Well, and we got the floor! We could relax and lie down just ** where-ever ** we want because the ground is ** OUR ** territory! 3. What part of the simulation made you angry, upset, or frustrated? Why? It made me unhappy because the other people that were in a higher rank really made me angry by teasing me and making us do weird things. 4. Do you think this system is fair? Why or why not? Nah, I don't think it's really fair. Why are non-Aryans a Sudra? I thought that was unfair. And you shouldn't really be so mean to people in a lower rank because they can't help that they were not born so rich as them. 5. Do you think a society should organize people into social classes? Why or Why not? No, we shouldn't. After all, we are all humans, so, if we are the same // thing //, we should be judged the same. Think about the activity we did in class as archeologists in Mohenjo-Daro. 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? They used the toilet indoors whenever they needed to. They probably rode carts to where-ever their workplace is too. And their carts might've carried objects wheat, grain...etc.

2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain. 1. A system of government that directs and controls some actions of the members of the society. The male figure that archaeologists think is the priest-king probably controlled the land as a king. 2. A regular food supply that is not likely to suddenly change. They ate barley, wheat, grain...etc. We know that because they had scales and weights to measure the weight of farm plants such as grain. They also had the carts to transport these goods. 3. Specialization of labor, in which members of the society perform different jobs. Some people made the jewelries. And other rich people wore that jewelry and other fancies. Poor people had only one bedroom as their home. The richer ones probably had more than just one. They also have priests, and kings. 4. Different social levels, in which some members of the society are given higher status than others. The richer has a higher stratus than the poor. The priests has a higher status than riches. Kings had a higher status than priests. 5. A highly developed culture including art, architecture, music, literature, science, and writing. They had games, statues (figures), jewelry, amulets (seals), buildings *such as* (wells, drains, sewer systems, the great bath...etc). 6. A religious system, which might include priests and temples. They had the great bath for religious ceremonies, and the priest-king statue.

3. In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city? They had drains and sewer systems in each and every home. Yeah, they had homes with only one room, one window.

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? We do not exactly know because their hydrographic aren't readable yet. And we don't have a rosetta stone for it either. So we are just guessing about things we found. Also, because the city was lived too much centuries ago, so pretty much all of the city is broken down.

5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro? Droughts, maybe. drought can cause crops to die. If they die, what will the humans eat? What will they drink? The people might've starved to a painful death. The riches probably spent all their money trying to get food. Or because of war, disease, and maybe natural disasters such as flooding, earthquake, tsunami, droughts, and even the river drying up. Website: [|Indus Valley] Use the website above to answer these questions. Write your answers in **complete sentences** with **clear details** on your wiki page. 1. What was discovered during the excavations of Mohenjo-Daro? They found the first street and buildings. 2. How is Mohenjo-Daro similar to our cities today? It has the brick houses, pretty much linked together is very similar to our apartments. And it has drains, wells, and streets. 3. What can we learn from archaeological discoveries (such as artifacts and city construction) in Mohenjo-Daro? We got to know that they built wells to drink from, jewelry to wear, and toys to play with. Also statues as decoration, maybe. 4. Give clear and specific information about how people lived in Mohenjo-Daro. In your answer, you have to talk about the artifacts that you discovered and put into the museum. There were a civilization that included skilled worker that made jewelry, such as a necklace, and rich women that wore those wonderful artwork. The model cart might have been pulled by bulls, which are available in ancient and modern India. Since the cart was small, we predict it was used by children. The elephants printed on wet clay on the seal describes that there were elephants at that time. There were also stone weights that told that they have traded with others. 5. What do we know about the Priest-King? We know that it is 18 cm tall and may have been a ruler, priest, or even an important man. 6. What was the Great Bath and how was it used? The great bath is a 12 meters long and 7 meters wide, and was probably used for washing or religious ceremonies. The deepest point of this pool is 2.4 meters deep. = = = As signment 1  = **Source: [|IndiaSubcontinentMapTrans.jpg]**
 * __Assignment 2__ **


 * 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? The Thar Desert and the Plateau is circled and looks like our map is just a printout of this map, only that our map doesn't have colors. 2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? There were more rivers, including the Saravati river. 3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Saravati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. These two rivers made the land very fertile; which made areas of nice farmland. The river itself provided water for the crops, humans, and livestock. 4. Accurately label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map. I did!:) 5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River? They migrated to Ganga River because the Sarasvati River eventually dried up. =Ancient Egypt = =media type="custom" key="5010187"= =**__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.

 * Importance of the pyramids

Pyramids are huge stone tombs with four triangle-shaped sides that meet in a point at the top. Pyramids are made out of huge blocks of limestone. Teams of workers carried them on wooden sleds. They cut up the limestone pieces with copper and stone tools. The pharaoh's tomb is inside the pyramids. Giant ramps of rubble were piled around the pyramid so that the workers can reach the top. The reason the sphinx is located right next to the pyramids is because the sphinx has to gaud the tombs. More than 10 thousand people were sent to work on the pyramids. The great pyramid of Khufu covers more than 13 arcs of land and is 481 feet high. Thats a pretty big tomb! Most of the big pyramids were built in Old Kingdom. A single pyramid took thousands of workers and more than 2 million blocks of limestone to build. The pyramid was important to the Egyptians because the pharaoh, linked to the gods controlled everyone's afterlife.

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...** In the middle kingdom, the nobles took advantage of the pharaoh and took some of the pharaoh's power. They were even in a stage of ruling Egypt!! In the Old Kingdom, it was the pharaoh who took all the power and was the only ruler of earth, also considered a god. Now pyramids wasn't built, just regular tombs that are hidden SO well that some tombs aren't even discovered TODAY!!

__**Part 3**__ Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...** The new kingdom was Egypt's expansion period. Egypt expanded the borders through military conquest and became a world power. They built great temples and also became richer. They built tombs too. 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. But before the golden age, Egypt was divided and the Hyksos controlled the Northern part of Egypt. And in the South, the Nubians controlled the land. These invaders controlled Egypt for 150 years. The poor Egyptians tried to rebel. The ugly invaders were considered 'dirty'. The Egyptians hated the foreigners and even more hated being ruled by them. One wanted to crush down the foreigners but needed people to help fight. But the people said that their life was okay. There was no need to fight against. But the Egyptians got the Euphrates river and to Nubia, the Red Sea to the Western Dessert. The pharaohs involved are Hatsheput, and Rameses the Great. The Hittites, nubians, Hyksos, and more was involved in the battle. Hatsheput traded with Punt and got goods.

I would not like to be Shu because he has to hold up the sky as in as to he is the god of 'air'. Won't Nut be too heavy for him to hold all day long? Even though the Egypt and the Mesopotamian civilization were different, they are in the same 'area' so there might be similarities between them, for example they both have the god of love. In this case, the Mesopotamia's god name is Inanna (Istar)while the Egypt's god name is Hathor. The god of war Ninurta and the Egypt goddess Hathor has the same quality too. =**__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.

 * 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 feel stressful and depressed, but on other times, rather cheerful. Building is a tomb is not an easy work. Also, having a field to take care of is tiring too. But I can't be lazy and just sit around, doing nothing. I have work to do. I have a family to take care of, my farm, and work for the pharaoh. 2. Eventually the Third Dynasty began in ancient Egypt. The Third Dynasty was the beginning of what historians call the Old Kingdom. When did it start and end? It started about at 2700 B.C. and ended 500 years later, which is 2200 B.C. 3. Explain how ancient Egyptians felt about their country and their pharaoh. The ancient Egyptians felt very respectful for the pharaoh. They thought the gods gave Egypt to the people, and thinks that the pharaoh is representing the gods. 4. What were the responsibilities of the pharaoh? The people blamed the pharaoh when their crops did not grow well, or if a disease struck. The pharaoh was also responsible to prevent wars and make profitable trades. 5. What is best known about the famous pharaoh, Khufu? Khufu is best known for the monuments that were built for him. Can you name a specific monument built for him? It is The Great Pyramid of Khufu, in Giza. 6.a Clearly explain the structure of society in the Old Kingdom. (Note: This should be a long answer.) The Old Kingdom had the pharaoh the highest, then the vizier, the priest, the nobles, and finally the peasants, merchants, scribes, slaves, craftsmen, and others. 6.b. What may be some advantages and disadvantages of such a large segment of the population being farmers, servants, and slaves? The advantage is that you will get more hands to build the tomb, which saves time, and more food with more farmers. But, the more the population, the more the resources they needed. 6.c. What did farmers do during flood season? When they could not farm, they worked on the pharaohs' building projects. 7. Clearly explain trading in ancient Egypt (what was traded and who they traded with). They traded with their neighbors, such as Nubia, and Syria. They traded for gold, copper, ivory, slaves, and stone for building in Nubia, a place South along the Nile. They traded wood for building and fire in Syria. 8. Define the word //**acquire**//. Use //**acquire**// in an original sentence. Acquire means 'to get'. I __acquired__ few loose leafs for school because I ran out of it. 9. Using the drawing of Egyptian society on page 94, explain where Viziers would be placed? feel about working for the pharaoh? The viziers would be placed probably be placed in between the Pharaoh and the Nobles. I think the viziers would respect the pharaoh very much. **Assignment 1**

Make sure your explanations are **middle school quality explanations**. I would want to be Ellil because he is the most powerful; so powerful that no other gods can even look at him. He happens to be a father of many important gods and goddesses. He also gets a lot of offerings from kings all over the Mesopotamia. I would not want to be Ishtar (Inanna) because she has short temper and ugliness in her mind. And I don't like how she is the god of love, and war at the same time. How can a loving goddess of love be a murderous goddess of war?? Also, her father isn't exactly known. Some say that her father is Anu, while others say that she is the daughter of the moon god, Sin. However, I think that her father being Sin does make more sense because Sin's scared number is 30, and her own number is 15, exactly half. = = =**__Assignment 10__**=

Hammurabi had trading skills, but he is mostly famous for his code of laws. 8. What is Hammurabi's Code? What areas of daily life did the code cover? Hammurabi's code is his laws of daily life. His code covered most of everything; it covered marriage, injury, trade, loans, theft, and murder. 9. Give two reasons why Hammurabi's Code was important.

One kind is washing the sick part of the body with beer and then mixing honey and turtle shells together to make soothing paste to soothe the body. Since honey would become all sticky and so, before they soothed the body with these special paste, they will oil the sick part. Medicines have been also used to cure brain sickness. It is more like a surgery, though. In this case, what they do is strike a hole in your skull. They believe that this will relive the pressure in the brain. This act is called trephination.

What helped the human population to grow in Mesopotamia? There was good supply of food, lots of timber for sturdy shelter and better technology. 2. What does cultivate mean? To cultivate means raise, breed, or crop living things. In other words it means it is to grow. 3. By 5000 B.C.E. what major problem did the farmers in the Zagros hills have? The major problem is that there wasn't enough land to grow food. 4. Using the choices in the critical thinking section of your handout, what is the best way to deal with the food shortage? Of course it will be best if you farm and store the food for emergencies, but unfortunately that is not on the sheet. I'd choose B. I'll choose that because it makes the most sense. Question A kind of makes sense but if you plant too much, the nutritious will go away.
