The type of government I want to be the citizen of is Democracy which is the same type of government I was in when I was building acropolis because everybody has the same level and my ideas are sometimes used.

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.//

1. What have you learned about daily life in Mohenjo-Daro from this activity? I learned that a lot of things in Mohenjo-Daro are things we still use nowadays. For example, they had scales and weights back then and we still have scales and weights. Another example is that in Mohenjo-Daro, there was a sewer system and we still have them.

2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain. It represents a lot of different things. For example, the weight and scale tells us that there was actually a regular amount of food supply. The Great bath tells us about religion, the statues and the jewelry tells that there was a highly developed art, culture ext.

3. In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city? I think of Mohenjo-Daro as one of the modern cities because there are mostly the same. For example, there were transportation, games, houses, stamps, wells, sewer system, highly developed art, bathing place and there are also the weights and scales and we have everything that Mohenjo-Daro had except for it is more developed theses days.

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 is difficult to know exactly about what life was like in ancient civilization because the city was lost for so long nobody knows about it. Also there are no people that can read the pictographs of the Indus-Sarasvati region.

5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro? I think there are two possible ways that contributed decline to Mohenjo-Daro. First, I think there might have been an bad harvest and everybody died of hunger. The second possible reason why I think the Mohenjo-Daro is lost is because of the Sarasvati river dried up. Maybe there was a disease so the people left the city or there were invasion or rebellions. Or maybe there was a natural disaster.

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. In what ways is your map similar to the one that you see in the map above? The similar things about my map and the map above is that most of the things are labeled same except for one.( I labeled the same.physiographic features) 2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? The physiographic feature I can identify that is not on my map is the Sarasvati River. 3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Sarasvati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. I think the settlements developed along the Indus and Sarasvati river because these rivers provided the ancient indians plenty of water and fertilized land for cropping. The rivers also provided indians convenient way to travel and trade among themselves and other civilizations by the Hidu Kush mountain where there is the Kyber pass. Which they trade with sumerians. 4. Accurately draw and label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map. 5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River? The ancient Indians eventually migrated to the Ganga River to move to more habitable areas such as the fertile banks of Ganga river at the further east. The Sarasvati river 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.

Pyramid is a huge limestone tomb with four triangle shaped sides that met in a point on the top. The use of the pyramid was to bury their rulers. The Egyptians built the pyramids only in the Old kingdom. More than a 4000 thousand years ago, workers near Giza built three most gigantic pyramid for their rulers. You make the pyramid by limestone. It was covered and filled with the limestone. The historians are not sure about how to make the pyramid. The Middle Kingdom (2100 BCE - 1800 BCE) 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...

About at the end of the Old kingdom, the power and the wealth of the pharaoh declined. It took thousand of money to make one pyramid but the pharaohs couldn't collect enough taxes to make the pyramid for the pharaoh. And the nobles not enough power to challenge the pharaoh. And for the next 160 years, nobles ruled most parts of the egypt.

They became richer and they created temples and tombs where the pharaohs were burried Before the golden age, the Hyksos controlled the lower egypt(nothern part of egypt)and the Nubians took up the southern part of Egypt The invaders controlled parts of egypt for 150 years old. Egyptian hatted foreigners and they didn't wanna be ruled by foreigners Camos said " I wanna crush the asiatics" but he couldn't fight alone so he asked his people to help him to get the invaders out of Egypt. Because they got to know that the Nubians and Hyksos are going to join and take over the rest of the Egypt

The new kingdom was called as a golden age. They started to conquer and made the invaders get out of Egypt. They hated invaders because before the Egypt's Golden age, Hyksos controlled the Northern part of Egypt and the Nubians took control of Southern part of Egypt. And the Hyksos and the Nubians controlled parts of Egypt for 150 years. But at the end, Camos, the Pharaoh of Egypt, the son of a father that got killed by the Hyksos and Nubians. And while he was thinking of a revenge, they got to know that the Hyksos and Nubians were trying to conquer the rest of Egypt.

__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 orgoddess. Then choose one that you would __**not**__ want to be and explain why. Make sure your explanations are **middle school quality explanations**. I don't want to be a Sekhmet because she is the the goddess of war and she is called "the powerful one". Also I don't like wars and she has lion head. I want to be Isis because she is a protective goddess. She uses powerful magic spells to help someone who is in need. She is also a mother of Horus and Horus was important to the pharaoh.
 * 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? Ishtar was the goddess of love and Hathor is the goddess of love in Egypt. Also Ishtar is the goddess of war in mesopotamia but Sekhmet is goddess of war in the Egyptian gods. I think gods are similar because when they fight and win, they bring the statue of the god and they just change the name.

1. The single most important thing I learned was that there were lots of Empires on Fertile Crecent during diffirent periods and that the Emperors Followed the Emipe that was strong.

2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was that why couldn't the countries keep peace and not fight for land. Becuase the only bad thing would happen to them. Or the country they attack might get stronger and attack them back.

3. What surprised me the most was that the Emporors who lived that time was very mean. For example, Hammurabi made really sick and mean laws. And Sargon's army killed lots of people.

4. I would like to know more about Assyrians. The information on the site wasn't enough for me. I would want to know more details about Assyrian Empire.
