 * Athens
 * Corinth
 * Sparta

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.// =__**Assignment 1**__=

=__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... -I think the most important thing that I learned was that Buddhism and Hinduism was both a great religions to India. Even if the Buddhism started later, but was still popular to people in a lower system, because Buddha thought that the people were supposed to be treated equally.

2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was... - The Hinduism started in India, and had a caste system, but the Buddhism didn't have a caste system. Then why does Korea have Buddhism as their religion but still have a caste system in their history? If a caste system was aloud for a Buddhism, why did people in higher level wanted Hinduism more?

3. What surprised me the most was... -What surprised me that most was that in India, they had a desert and an cold snowy mountain together. I think it surprised me because not in a so far distance, there was a hot region, and a cold region together which can be interesting because if they were close together, the hot air from the desert could melt the ices in the mountains.

4. I would like to know more about.. -I would like to know more about the achievements in 'Early India' because they were interesting how they invented stuffs that we still use today. 5. The part that I think I will always remember was... =__Assignment 9__=

 * __ 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's because if people have their own government, it would get mixed up with the cities that does not have rules like the other cities and soon fight. 2. Who were Rajahs? They were rulers of the cities. 3. What is a Guru? They were kind of a teacher that used to live with the student until twenty. 4. What subjects were taught in school? They were all about religious nature, and the government because religious system is part of the government. 5. Who was in charge of the government? The Indus priest were charge of it. 6. Why did people look up to the priests? Because they were the only people that could offer things 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? Sage-Clever person. It's similar to the question number 4 because the teacher needs to be clever in order to teach kids about religions.

**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 in the Sudra group which was the lowest. 2. What was your favorite part about the caste system simulation? Why? I liked the part where you can rule all the people and do nothing if you are in the high level. 3. What part of the simulation made you angry, upset, or frustrated? Why? I didn't like the part where the low part of the level like Sudra had to work all the time for the high leveled people. 4. Do you think this system is fair? Why or why not? NONONONONONONONONONONNONONO!!!!! I do not think this is fair because just because some people are in the high level it doesn't mean that they get to rules all the people and the people in the low level has to be ruled by high people and work only for their comfort. 5. Do you think a society should organize people into social classes? Why or Why not? No I totally not agree with it because one person could stay in the high level for their hole life and one person has to be in the low level of the society and they would only have to work for them the hole life and the personhight level could rule those people and do nothing even though they are a same person!

1. What have you learned about daily life in Mohenjo-Daro from this activity?


 * ) I have learned that even though it was one of the Ancient city, it was very close to the modern life today. They lived in a clay brick house, played games, and farmed on the fertile land. They were also ruled by a king like today(president), we aren't sure if they were but we found a statue of a person that looked like a king wearing a jewelery with a clothes that has special patterns on.

I've also learned that by looking at the dice, I thought that they entertained them self by playing games.

2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain.

-I could see that there was a ruler because there was a statue of a person that looked like a king, which means a system of government that directs and controls some actions of the members of the society, and since there was a king, I could see that there is a level in the society back day. -I saw a figure of a farmer which means that there was a farmer to farm and get grains which is the regular food supply that is not likely to suddenly change, also from this, I could see that each people had different jobs, like farmer and king and etc. -I saw a great bath where is the place where they have religious ceremony, which means that they had religious system, which might include priests and temples. - From the necklace that I saw, I thought that it was a beautiful art work and developed art and etc. 3. In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city?

- When I saw the drains and the clay brick house, I thought that It was like the modern city because we still use the drains like pipes. Also in USA some people live in brick house like a clay house in the ancient India before. Also they had dices and other fun games to entertain them self, which we do now. I can also see that they farmed to get grains by looking at the model of the cart. 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 think it's because we can't read the letters that are written on the seals and in other things and most of them were destroyed. Also because this civilization wasn't found not long ago and the city were lost therefore no one was there to tell us what has happened. 5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro?

- This is my opinion, I think they got declined, because they lived next to the Indus river- where the khyber pass is, and other people from the Africa came in from that way and attacked them. Also there could have been some natural disasters like earthquake ,flood, and many other things.

2. How is Mohenjo-Daro similar to our cities today? It has drains like today to take out the dirty water that it's about to fill our house some of them are big as a person! It also had places where they could get a fresh water (Like a well.).

3. What can we learn from archaeological discoveries (such as artifacts and city construction) in Mohenjo-Daro? Since there were necklace and said that rich people wore it, I think there was some people that was rich ans some people that wasn't. Also that they wrote with their own languages on a tablet like the ancient Egyptians, and they used the cart to work.

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. Cart- The indus people used the cart to transport, over lands and over the water. We know this because the metals that made this boat is from the faraway countries. figurines- from this figurine you can find out the styles and the hairstyles of woman. weights- By using this, you can measure the object. tablet- In this tablet, you can find out what happened during the indus time, and find out how they wrote. jewelry- Indus people wore jewelries too.

5. What do we know about the Priest-King? This was discovered at 1927 in Mohenjo- Daro, and it was found in the brick house and in a wall niche. We believe that the Priest-king was a important person as a priest or a ruler. On his head he has a hair band that is found in Mohenjo-Daro. Also the is a smiler one that is attached to his arm. On his face, he had a detailed eye curved. Also if you look closely the nose is broken. Some people think that they are broken in purpose, but some of them think that they just got broken when the were lost. The cloth that his wearing is carved with a leaf shaped shapes, and people thank that they used to be colored red. He also has a beard combed. On his back, the head is flat, but it might be the headdress that is attached. His headdress comes down to his back.

6. What was the Great Bath and how was it used? The great bath is a mysterious building in the Mohenjo-Daro. People are not sure how it was used.

Assignment 1 __** **Source: [|IndiaSubcontinentMapTrans.jpg]**
 * __


 * 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? I think the Deccan plateau is big in the middle of the India, also the Thar desert, which locates next to the Indus river. Also I see that the Himalaya mountains are there surrounded by the Ganga river and the Brahmaputra river which becomes together and creates the Ganga brahmaputra Delta. 2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? There is some more mountains then they are in my map, and I also see where people first settled in ancient India that is marked in the blue dots. Also I could see some more river that is not on my map, which means that it's not the biggest or the specialist river in the India. 3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Sarasvati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. I think it's because next to the Indus river there is a gap between the mount.H. Kush that is called Khyber pass. Because you can trade with others using it you could get a lot of money a trade easily; and also there is a lot of silt in the water,(Indus river)because all the waters are from the melting ice from the Mount.Himalaya which makes you easy to farm, and they came form the Africa. 4. Accurately draw and label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map. I did do it...
 * Questions:**

5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River? They moved up because the Saravati river was getting dried every year, and they did not have enough water. Therefore they started to move towards 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...

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

3. What surprised me the most was...

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

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


 * The single most important thing that I learned in this chapter is that the Egypt has a very long history that lasted about 3000 years, and was very strong. Though there was something that confused me. When the pharaoh died in the Egypt they used to think that the pharaoh needed to go past the underworld and to the heaven (and that was why the tombs were built), and if the pharaoh didn't make it the sun wouldn't rise any more. Still there was some pharaohs who got disobeyed when they were dead and didn't get buried, but the sun still came up and why didn't the Egyptians not stop doing that onece they noticed that the sun just rises up every day? Something that surprised me the most is how the Egypt was unified. First I thought the Egypt had the Upper Egypt in the upper side of the Egypt and the lower Egypt was in the lower side of the Egypt, but they weren't. The Upper Egypt was in the lower part of the Egypt and the Lower Egypt was in the lower part of the Egypt because of the altitude. The altitude gets higher as it goes low. Therefore the Upper Egypt is in the lower part and the Lower Egypt is in the Upper part. Even the Nile river flows backwards. I would like to know more about the Nile river because the Nile river made possibility for the human beings to live in the desert. The part that I will always remember is the part where Hatshepsut rules the Egypt. I would always remember it because it's one of the few female rulers and my gender is female, and I'm proud of her. Therefore I would always remember her.

=
 Pharaohs had absolute power and were considered gods 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. A pyramid is a huge tomb that is made out of limestone from the quarries. They were usually built for Their rulers, which means their pharaoh. Some of the Greatest pyramids were built in this time, especially the great pyramid of Khufu, the biggest pyramid in the world. Even though after building these few very big, an well seeing architecture even from 100meters away, were being robbed just because it was easy to spot. From than, they made more of hidden tombs which started the middle kingdom.======

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 (2100 BCE - 1800 BCE)
 * the difference with the Old Kingdom
 * what life was like during this time
 * wars or battles and who was involved

The biggest thing about the middle kingdom is that it' s the Egypt's golden age. The trade were good and they made many army to fight their enemy, and their literature improved. Also the nobles were very powerful that they could face the pharaoh too. Therefore there was no exact central ruler which made a little more fair. From the starting of the Middle kingdom the people started to make more of hidden tombs and bury the pharaohs in them. Some of them, we still couldn't find them these days.

__**Part 3**__ Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...**
 * The New Kingdom (1570 BCE - 1070 BCE) **
 * Specific details and nubians evidence about this kingdom can be found on pages 102-103 in our textbook.
 * what new territories were conquered
 * names of pharaoh's involved in expansion
 * wars or battles and who was involved
 * trading (who and what)

The new kingdom started in the 1560BCE. In this age, the territories stretched to Syria and to the upper Nubia. Also this was a golden age the Hatchepsut ruled. She traded lot's of thing from the other countries and brought golds and other objects that you can't find in the Egypt from is Syria and Nubia. But soon the Hykso invaded the Egypt and controlled the Northern part of Nile Delta, and it was important because the land was very fertile, also the Southern part of Nile was controlled by Nubian. Therefore the Egyptians lived in the small part of the Nile in the middle for 150 years, so the royal family of Egypt lived in the Thebes, soon got mad and tried to rebel (Pharaoh), but the Hyksos just killed him. The Egyptians actually hated the foreigners and thought they were dirty, but now the Egyptians were controlled by the foreigners. Since the Pharaoh got killed, the two sons got very mad and tried to revenge the foreigners. Though he couldn't fight by himself so he tried to get people but the people had good things for them to be ruled by the Hykso so they tried to not to participate.

 * 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? So that the pharaohs can go through the underworld and to the heaven so that the sun would still come up. Also because so that the soul could recognize itself after it.
 * 2) Explain how the brain was removed from the dead body. Why was the brain removed?The preservation was called mummification, and they take out organs from inside the body and warp them in linen and put them in a case. They took out brains by sticking the metal through the nose.
 * 3) Name the four internal organs that were removed from the body. What was done with these organs?They are intestines, stomach, ,liver and lungs and they put it in a jar with the gods head on t.
 * 4) What did they do with the heart? Why? They did not remove them because they thought it was like a brain, and was the center of emotions, intelligence, and feelings.
 * 5) What is natron and why was it used? Using your scribble map of Egypt, name the area where natron came from. The natron was used to make the body dry by putting the natrons inside and the out side of the body so it wouldn't rot in the mummy case. Also it was produced(I cannot find the place!!)
 * 6) How was [|linen] used during mummification? It was used to make the body plump up by putting them inside the body,and also to warp the body.
 * 7) What are [|amulets] and how were they used? Give two examples of amulets that were used and explain why they were used. The first example is udjat, and it was used to keep the body in good health, also it was shaped like the falcon shaped god, Horus. It was placed in lower abdomen. The second example is Scarab, a dung beetle shaped amulet. It symbolized the rebirth and the setting, rising of the sun and it was placed above the abdomen.
 * 8) What happens to the body after it was mummified? It goes into several mummy cases and gets ready for the after world journey, or it lasts for more than 3000 years.

=__Assignment 4__=
 * 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 the god or sun Ra because the sun lets the crops grow. The sun might of been too hot to Egyptian people, but if there was no sun god Ra, they would be freezing to death and have no plants to grow for them to eat, which makes them hungry and extinct the human life in Egypt. Therefore I would like to be a sun god Ra that actually helps people to live in Egypt.

I wouldn' t like to be the god Seth because he has done nothing for the Egyptians and that god actually is the representative of threatening the harmony of the Egypt, and murdered his brother which is Osiris ,and battled is nephew which is Horus to be the ruler of the living. Also because I have seen him in many other books and all of them told me that he was cruel, therefore I wouldn't like to be a god that doesn't even help the Egyptians and threatens them.


 * 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? As the result I thought the gods I saw in those two links were kind of has similar picture and similar abilities. Example like the sky gods they were the first one that I found that had similar jobs. Also the god Bes and the god Humbaba looks kind of the same. I thought about the reason of this, but the first thing I thought was that It live almost in the same place. Since then they didn't have a boat to sail, the people who lived in the Mesopotamia would of moved to the Egypt which is right next to them with the same religion they had.

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... I learn that long time ago that people were not treated equally because of the social levels that they have, and I felt safe that I was born in the place where they treat people equally. Though we sometimes still don't get treated equally. 2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was... I didn't understand why people try to build an empire, because if you have a enough farmlands to live fine, why would you want more by killing and stealing?! 3. What surprised me the most was... That the only cruel scenes that I saw in the movies came true in the empires. In the some of the empires I thought they were too cruel like tearing their ears off and taking off peoples skins to show how strong they are. I don't really think that they should do that. 4. I would like to know more about... I would like to know more about the Sargon since he is the first emperor in the world and he invented how to use the arrow which is one of my favorites in the weapons. 5. The part that I think I will always remember was... I think I would always remember the Sumerians because they were the first civilization and they had invented useful things that we still use now examples, like a wheel and the base number 60 and ETC. = = =__Assignment 12__= =**Characteristics of Civilization**= =**Empire Name: _Assyrians**=

Using **The Six Characteristics of a Civilization** (see below)**,** answer the following questions **clearly** and with **details** on your wiki page. = = 1. Is Korea/ the U.S. a civilization according to the six characteristics explained in class? Provide one example from Korea/the U.S. for each characteristic. 2. Does a civilization, in your opinion, need to have all of the characteristics mentioned? Why or why not?

1. A system of government that directs and controls some actions of the members of the society. 2. A regular food supply that is not likely to suddenly change. 3. Specialization of labor, in which members of the society perform different jobs. 4. Different social levels, in which some members of the society are given higher status than others. 5. A highly developed culture including art, architecture, music, literature, science, and writing. 6. A religious system, which might include priests and temples.
 * The Six Characteristics of a Civilization:**

Answer for 1#:(1): Korea have presidents. They go to another country and do debates. (2): In Korea we still farm, or we buy rice from another country. (3): We have many jobs in Korea. Examples like teacher, doctor, and more (4): We have citizen, government, and the president. (5): We have our own traditional music, temples for architecture, (6): Our religion used to be Buddhism but today we also have Christians, which is our religion

Answer for 2#: I think we need to have all of the characteristics to be an civilization, examples like when we don't have religious system, everyone will act like they are the real god or make up their own religion and have many fights because of their own religion that they made. To give another example, if we don't have specialization of labor, one person will have to do all the work, finally they won't be able to finish it, and every thing won't be finished. = = =__Assignment 5__= Using your sheet and notes from class about Sumerian achievements, which achievements would go under each of these categories?
