=__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?// A: They both had to trade and set up long-distance trade routes with Egypt and Asia Minor. //2. In what ways were the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations different?// A: The Mycenaeans were devoted most of their energies to a developing strong military, while the minoans were very culture-like and like to dance to music. //3. Why do you think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae?// A: I think there are so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae because they traded A LOT with Egypt and Asia minor. //4. What other geographical areas, besides Mycenae, might Minoan civilization have influenced?// A: I think Asia Minor and Egypt might have influenced the Minoan civilization because they were the two main countries to trade. //5. What aspects of Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations would you expect to have survived in later periods of Greek history?// A: Since they traded a lot together, maybe they gave their ideas to cultures and other things. //6. Using your **textbook pages 256-257**, explain how the decline of the Minoans and the Mycenaeans was similar. //A: The decline of the Minoans and the Mycenaeans were similar because both of them were caused by natural eruptions such as earthquakes.//// =__**Assignment 1**__=

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... The most important thing I learned was is about the Indian achievements because we never know what the ancient indians build that we didn't. For example, the ancient indians created the 0, which we still use in daily life. 2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was... Something that confused was the Ramayana because it was a very complicated story because it was a epic. And maybe because it was very hard to understand the character's voices. 3. What surprised me the most was... The thing that surprised me that most was how complicated Hinduism is! There are caste systems, there is Brahmin, Samsara, Dharma, Kharma!! 0_0 4. I would like to know more about... I would like to know more about the Indian achievements. Maybe the indians achieved more things than just creating the zero. 5. The part that I think I will always remember was... The part that I think I will always remember was when we did simulation activity for the caste system because it was a very fun game. It also looked fun when other people were the highest! It's because they can boss around! ^ ^ =__Assignment 9__=

====**__ Assignment 5 __** Website: [|India-Government] Use the website above to answer these questions. 1. Why would having a central government help in planning and organizing a city?====

2. Who were Rajahs?
They are rulers of cities.

3. What is a Guru?
Guru is a type of teacher.

4. What subjects were taught in school?
All subjects were about religion. One specific type is called religious nature.

5. Who was in charge of the government?
Priests in Indus were in charge of the government.

6. Why did people look up to the priests?
People look up to the priests because the priests are the highest people of the social level.

7. Look up the word 'sage' in any dictionary. What does it mean and what word from questions 1-6 is it similar to?
When I looked up the word sage, I saw that it meant that it is a wise man. The words Guru, Rajahs, and Indus priests relate to the words sage. This is because you have to be clever if you want to be a high position.

 **1. What varna were you in during the caste system simulation?**
During the caste system simulation, I was one of the Sudra.

 **2. What was your favorite part about the caste system simulation? Why?**
I didn't have a favorite part of the caste system simulation because we were treat very poorly without even doing anything. People always thought that we stole the crops from the higher classes.

 **3. What part of the simulation made you angry, upset, or frustrated? Why?**
The part that made me angry and frustrated was when the higher people of me and the Sudras were blaming on us for doing nothing. We were very innocent people but the higher people won't believe us.

 **4. Do you think this system is fair? Why or why not?**
I don't think the system is fair because lots of people have the right to make our lives miserable. With this system, the sudras will not have a veyr happy and good life.

 **5. Do you think a society should organize people into social classes? Why or Why not?**
No, because if the people were organized this way most or some of the people will not be happy. But if you treat the people equally, almost all the people will be glad and possibly other people from different cities could come and have a bigger civilization. = = =Assignment 3 = **Source: **  [|Archeologists Ideas Mohenjo-Daro.pdf]  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. ** <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px;"> I learned that the things they used in Ancient India was very similar to our society today. One example is that they were very religious because of the Great Bath. Another is games because they had dice games. The last example is farming because they use carts when they trade goods. I see a system of government because of the Priest King and someone has to control the drain. Another one is a highly developed culture, architecture, literature such as music, art, science and writing, and a religious system, different jobs. <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The things they used in ancient India, we still use them today. Some examples are: The weights and scales because we still use scales weights except electronic, the necklaces because we still wear lots of jewelry, the sewer system and the well because we still have drains and pipes, houses because we have lots of buildings and houses, games because we still play games like computer games, and carts for bringing things to your house or even the market. I think it will be hard for us to know excatly what life was like in ancient civilizations like those in the Indus-Sarasvati region because there are lots of different things that and object can do. For example, we don't know what the seal says, but we know that it could show ownership of something. ** I think the reason for decline is because maybe there was a famine, that made people very hungry and starved, and drying up all the crops in their farm. Another reason is that there could be an enemy fighting in Mohenjo-Daro. Or it could have been like this: there was a disease. ** =<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Assignment 2 = Use the website above to answer these questions.

How is Mohenjo-Daro similar to our cities today? **<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> Mohenjo-Daro is similar to our cities today because we still have houses and use bricks for MAKING houses. We still have wells, and drains. ** <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">3. What can we learn from archaeological discoveries (such as artifacts and city construction) in Mohenjo-Daro? **<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> We can learn from the archaeological discoveries that we can tell what the artifacts were used for. (For example, the cart would be used for transportation.) ** <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">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. **<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> -The cart was put in the transportation section. -The necklace was put in the jewelry section. -The firgurine was placed in the figurine section. -The weight was placed in the useful objects section. -The elephant seal was placed in the seal section.

Geologists have identified this riverbed as the route of the ancient ****<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Sarasvati River ** <span style="display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">. 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. <span style="display: block; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">**<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Questions: ** <span style="display: block; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"> 1.

My map is similar to the one I see in the map above because in our map, everything we labeled, like the Ganga River, Indus River, Himalaya Mountains, are all in the map above. 2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? I can identify that the Sarasvati River is not in my map. 3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Saravati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. I think the settlements developed along the Indus and Saravati Rivers because the land there was very fertile, which means there are lots of farms, crops, and food. They could trade easily because they had the Khyber pass in the Himalaya Mountains. 4.

So they decided to build pyramids to bury their pharaohs and rulers there. But not ALWAYS. Pharaohs were buried in pyramids only during the time period of the Old Kingdom. First of all, a pyramid is a big, stone tombs with four triangle-shaped sides that meet at the top. An example of a pyramid is The Great Pyramid of Khufu. The workers that build the pyramid do a lot of things. One example is that they drag stones on wooden sleds to the pyramid.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">The Middle Kingdom is known as the 'Egypt's Golden Age' because many literature, arts and trading increased. The middle kingdom was the time of period of order. Around 1750 BC, a group of Hyksos (southwest Asians) invaded Egypt. They wanted to conquer Lower Egypt, so they used horses, chariots, and advanced weapons. Egypt did fought back but in the mids-1500s BC Ahmose said he will be king, and defeated the Hyksos. 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. During this time, pharaohs was not very important. The nobles were.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">**Part 3** The New Kingdom (1570 BCE - 1070 BCE) Specific details and evidence about this kingdom can be found on pages 102-103 in our textbook. Your specific details and evidence should give more information about... <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">** The New Kingdom (1500 BCE-1000 BCE): ** The new kingdom was Egypt's expansion period.

The new kingdom was an expansion period. At the year 1560 B.C.E, Egypt was divided. Egypt also expanded their borders through military conquest and had world power. The Hyskos controlled the North part of the Nile Delta, and the Nubians controlled the Southern part of the Nile Delta. The pharaohs Queen Hatshepsut, and Ramses the Great (Who fought the Hitties) were involved in the expansion. Queen Hatshepsut was the only ruler to increase Egyptian trades. She traded with the Punt on the Red Sea. This is where Egyptians got gold. She and the Egyptians got copper. Ramses the Great fought the hitties [group from Asia Minor]. There are also Thebes, and more. The Nubians said to unite with the hyskos and defeat the Egyptians. Also, the Sea people came and they tried to attack the Egyptians. They used boats to come across the sea. But they have failed. And the Nubians and Hyskos got conquered. When the pharaohs died, they were all buried in the same place, the Valley of the Kings. Some new territories that were conquered were Sinai Peninsula, Nubian desert, and Syria beside the Euphartes River. =**__Assignment 6__ Due Dates:**= Daisy's Comic:

 * Part 1 Answer:** I would like to be Isis. This is because if people need help, Isis can use her powerful spells to help them. Lot of people would like Isis because she saves lives from danger. I would NOT like to be <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Osiris because as the ruler of the underworld, it is not a good place to be and it would be worse if I ruled there..
 * Part 2 Answer:** The god in Egypt called Sekhmet and the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar are very similar. They are both god/goddess of war. (Ishtar is Love and War). Another similarity is that Sekhmet has a head of a lion, and Ishtar is often found standing on a lion. I think the gods/goddess are similar even though the civilizations were different, is because maybe they might have used the same gods/goddess but they just changed the names.
