<span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">__The Origins of the Greeks__ 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 Mycenaeans: 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.

1. What did the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations have in common? - The Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations both traded goods with Egypt and Asia Minor. 2. In what ways were the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations different? - The Minoan civilization were very much like Athens where they danced to the music and songs. Also, they had a fulfill of cultures. However, the Mycenaean civilizations were similar to the Spartans where violence was they're answer to problems and having strong millitary soldiers. They also revealed collections of war weapons and had few cultures. 3. Why do you think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae? - There are so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae because they would have traded with one another. They also have many similar features. 4. What other geographical areas, besides Mycenae, might Minoan civilization have influenced? - The Minoan civilization could have been influenced when they traded each other each city's valuable items and was able to exchange their cultures and influenced the civilization. 5. What aspects of Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations would you expect to have survived in later periods of Greek history? - In my opinion, I think that the war from the Minoans and the entertainment from the Mycenaean civilizations would have survived. 6. Using your textbook pages 256-257, explain how the decline of the Minoans and the Mycenaeans was similar. - Minoans and the Mycenaeans were similar because of the natural disasters they has in their cities destroyed the empire. =<span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 23px; font-weight: normal;">Greece (Assignment 1 <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 23px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">) = <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal;">Source 1: []<span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal;">

Use the website above to answer these questions. 1. Why would having a central government help in planning and organizing a city? - Having a central government help in planning and organizing cities because of the lay out of the city that was so much the same between all cities. 2. Who were Rajahs? - The Rajahs were the rulers of the city. 3. What is a Guru? - A Guru is a type of teacher who would live with his/her students until they were 20. 4. What subjects were taught in school? - All the subjects were related to religious things. Schooling had to do with government, because they learned lot of things about religion, which has to do with the government. 5. Who was in charge of the government? - Indus priests were somewhat in charge of the governments. 6. Why did people look up to the priests? - The people looked up to the priest because they were in a high social level and they were the ones who 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? - Sage means a profoundly wise man, who features in ancient history or legend. It is related to questions 1~6 because words such as Rajahs, Guru are part of a profoundly wise man. <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 21px;">India (Assignment 4) <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">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 the lowest level of the Varna, Sudras. 2. What was your favorite part about the caste system simulation? Why? - My favorite part about the caste system simulation was watching people with higher varnas then us, doing things what the Kshatriyas told them to do. 3. What part of the simulation made you angry, upset, or frustrated? Why? - The part that we had to do anything what the Vaisyas, Kshatriyas and the Brahmins told us to do made me frustrated. 4. Do you think this system is fair? Why or why not? - In my opinion, I think this system is unfair in the Indian society because just because of how rich you are and how poor you are, people are treated differently. People have to obey Brahmins just because they are rich and are in a higher status. But people ignore Sudras and believe they should do anything what people above the Sudras tell them to do. 5. Do you think a society should organize people into social classes? Why or Why not? - In my opinion, I think the society should organize people into social classes because the more effort you put into youre work, the more payment you should get. However, if the society don't have any social classes, people who don't do anything gets the same amount of money as the person who worked hard. <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 23px;">India (Assignment 3) <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;"> Source: [|Archeologists Ideas Mohenjo-Daro.pdf] <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> Think about the activity we did in class as archeologists in Mohenjo-Daro.

What have you learned about daily life in Mohenjo-Daro from this activity? - What I have learned about the daily life in Mohenjo- Daro is that they had many artifacts and ruins related to their religious belief. They also had an idea of sewers, carts, houses, games, seals etc. They played games, we can know this because there were dices and pons. Mohenjo- Daro was very clean due to the sewers. They had seals to mark objects and to prove people that an object was theirs. 2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain. - I think that Mohenjo- Daro is related to the number 4 civilization, 'Different Social levels, in which some members of the society are given higher status then others because the houses in Mohejo- Daro are divided into rich people and poor people. Poor people had only one window, the richer the people were, the more windows there were. Also number <span style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">5, 'A highly developed culture including art, architecture, music, literature, science, and writing' is related to Mohenjo- Daro.

In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city? - Mohenjaro- Daro was like a modern city because they had sewers, houses, games, bathrooms, which we still use now. 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 would be hard to know exactly what life was like in ancient civilizations because the archaeologists aren't perfectly sure about the facts that they made for each place or objects. 5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro? - I think that India could have been attacked by enemies. Then enemies could have been other near countries or subcontinents. Also, weather systems could have destroyed the city such as tornadoes, floods etc. Another way India could have been destroyed is that there were diseases going around and they had to leave the city. <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 23px;">India (Assignment 2) <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">Website: [|Indus Valley] <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;">Use the website above to answer these questions.

A pyramid is a huge stone tombs with four-triangle shaped sides that meet at the top. One of the greatest pyramid is called ' The Great Pyramid' made for Khufu. The earliest pyramids were not smooth. Instead, they were step pyramids made with limestone. About 100,000 people are needed to build a single, huge pyramid. After building a lot of pyramids, pyramids were very stand-able and recognizable that the people started to rob the pyramid for gold. <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">__Part 2__ <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">The Middle Kingdom (2100 BCE - 1800 BCE) <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;"> Specific details and evidence about this kingdom can be found on pages 101-102 in our textbook.

The Egyptians made great armies to protect themselves from neighbors. In the Middle Kingdom, people didn't burry pharaohs in pyramids as the Old Kingdom did, they buried them in hidden tombs. Some tombs of pharaohs weren't found yet because they were very hidden well amongst others. For the life in the Middle kingdom, the pharaohs weren't much of as important, the local nobles ruled Egypt. Then, a powerful pharaoh defeated his enemies and reunited Egypt again. It only lasted to about 1750 BCE. Then, a group from the South-- Hyksos invaded Egypt. The Hyksos people used chariots, horses and advanced weapons. However, in the end, Egypt fights back. <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;"> Part 3 (still to come) <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">__Part 3__ <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">The New Kingdom (1570 BCE - 1070 BCE) <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;"> Specific details and evidence about this kingdom can be found on pages 102-103 in our textbook.

<span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">Notes: Before the Golden Age began, in 1560 BCE, Egypt was divided. The Hyksos controlled the Nile Delta, the Nubians controlled the Southern part. The royal families was the pharaoh and the 2 sons. The family agreed that they should rebel the Hyksos and the Nubians. The Egyptians hated foreigners, they would draw pictures of them so they could step on them. This showed how much the Egyptians hated foreigners. One of the sons were determined to destroy the enemies (The Hyksos). His words were wrote on a stone. His aim was to free Egypt from the other foreigners. Egypt's first target was getting rid of the Hyksos. After defeating them, the Egyptians took over Syria. By 1400, the empire extended from the Euphrates River to the southern Nubia. The Egypt got richer because of the military conquest. The Kingdoms it conquered usually gave treasures to Egyptian rulers. Many of the lands that the Egypt conquered had many valuable resources and it was good for trading. One important ruler who worked for the increase in trading was the female ruler 'Queen Hatshepsut'. Queen Hatshepsut sent the Egyptian traders down to the South to trade with kingdom of Punt, close to the Red Sea and the North to trade with the people in Asia Minor and Greece. In 1200s BC, the pharaoh Ramses the Great fought the group of Hittites. The two groups fought fiercely for years, but neither could defeat the other. Egypt survived. However, after the invasion of the Hittites and the Sea peoples, the New Kingdom became a period of violency and a disordered country. <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 23px; line-height: 27px;">Egypt (Assignment 6) <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;">

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. <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">Part 2: Compare these Egyptian gods and goddesses with the [|Mesopotamian gods and goddesses]<span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">. 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? PART 1 - I would like to be Ma'at because she is the goddess of truth, justice and harmony and she was related to the balance of the things on earth. Another reason why I want to be Ma'at is because she has a high official government of Egypt, below the Pharaoh. However, the god I would not want to be Seth because he is the god of chaos. He represented everything that threatened harmony in Egypt. And worse, he murdered his brother for his GOOD SAKE;; (To be the ruler of the living) PART 2 - I found out that Osiris And Anubis are related to the goddess Dumuzi and Ereshkigal in Mesopotamia because they are all related to the underworld. Ma'at is similar to the god Ea (Enki) because they both have aspects that are associated with the balance of Earth. (Lama and Hathor) and Bastet is similar because they are protective goddesses. Hathor and Ishtar have the similarity of the goddess of love. Horus and Anu (Mesopotamia) both are the god of the sky and also, the bull of heaven from Mesopotamia could also fit in here because they are controlled by the sky. And lastly, even though Egypt and Mesopotamia's civilization is different, the gods are similar because Egypt could have earned Mesopotamia's gods but changed their names. <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;">

Directions: Answer the following questions clearly and with details on your wiki page. NOTES: There are more pyramids in Sudan more than Egypt 1. Read the If YOU were there section. How do you feel about working for the pharaoh? - I would disagree with working for the pharaoh because we have the right to do what we want. Even though we don't have a high social level, we still have the right to decide if we want to built a great tomb. Just because the pharaoh has a highest level, it doesn't mean he could control the whole people in their city and tell them to do everything that the pharaoh asked. 2. Eventually the Third Dynasty began in ancient Egypt. The Third Dynasty was the beginning of what historians call. When did it start and end? - The Third Dynasty was the beginning of what historians known as the 'Old Kingdom'. 2700 B.C~ 2200 B.C 3. Explain how ancient Egyptians felt about their country and their pharaoh. - <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">People felt like the Pharaohs were gods so they praised him. Egypt belongs to the Gods. <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">4. What were the responsibilities of the pharaoh? - The responsibilities of the pharaoh is to rule the Egypt as a god. Also, he was responsible for the crops. 5. What is best known about the famous pharaoh, Khufu? Can you name a specific monument built for him? - Khufu is best known for the monuments that he built. The specific monument built for him was called the pyramid of Khufu. 6 a. Clearly explain the structure of society in the Old Kingdom. (Note: This should be a long answer.) - At the top of Egyptian society was the pharaoh. The next highest class after the pharaoh includes priests, key government officials. Many of the priests in the Old Kingdom were nobles. Or else, they were people from rich and powerful families. Next in social class, includes lesser government officials, scribes and a few rich crafts people. b. What may be some advantages and disadvantages of such a large segment of the population being farmers, servants, and slaves? - The disadvantages of being farmers, servants and slaves are that you can't get everything the way you want it to be and that the Pharaoh can take away all the things you have. Having 80% of the poor people is that the lower class people could rebellion. However, the (good things) advantages are that the higher class can relax while the lower class people do all the work for them. c. What did farmers do during flood season? - The farmers helped work on the Pharaoh's building projects during the flooding. 7. Clearly explain trading in ancient Egypt (what was traded and who they traded with). - The Ancient Egypt traded with their neighbors. The traders went down South along the Nile to Nubia. The traders traded gold, copper, iron and salves etc. They also traded with Syria they got wood. 8. Define the word acquire. Use acquire in an original sentence. - Acquire means to get. I acquired a diamond from the traders near by. 9. Using the drawing of Egyptian society on page 94, explain where Viziers would be placed? - The viziers should be placed below the Pharaohs and on the top of Nobles. <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 23px;"> Egypt (Assignment 1) <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">Source: Carefully read your online textbook pages 88 and 89. <span style="color: #f93939; font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">(Note: Make sure you scroll down on page 89 to see more information.) <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends;"> <span style="font-family: GF_OceanFriends; font-size: 15px;">Your task is to label a map of the Nile River and ancient Egypt on your current Scribble Map.
