=__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?// //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 in Mohenjo-Daro, people lived a luxurious life. I think this, because children had toys (like car) and they had an indoor bathroom. Also, I think they are very religious because they used the Great Bath to do religious ceremonies. They could live a luxuries life because they played games and woman wore jewelry. 2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain. The Great Bath will show Civilization #6, because in the Great Bath, they used to have many ceremonies. Also, the sewer systems can show #1, because making a sewer system means that government is responsible for it. And there's a few other things like different social levels (#4) because the richer they are, the more window in the houses are. 3. In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city? I think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city because they lived a luxuries (?) life. Also, they had enough food supplies and they have all of the Six Characteristics of Civilization.

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 for us to know exactly what life was like in ancient civilizations like those in the Indus-Sarasvati region because archeologists has to dig stuffs (artifacts) from the cave, or anything, but sometimes they don't find some stuffs so, they miss it. Also, there's a possibility that even though the artifacts looks similar with our stuffs (artifacts), maybe the use of it will be different. Also, the archeologists can't read words on seals or other things. 5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro? I think it might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro that it has less protections compare to other civilizations (like Egypt). So, they might Invaded them. (Other cities can attack them). They can rebel to the city. Also, there can be germs and dieases.

 * __ Assignment 1 __**

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? My map is similar to the map above because it has the same physio-graphic features except Indian Ocean and the flows of the rivers. 2. What physio-graphic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? I can see Sarasvati River in this map but not on my map. 3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Saravati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. I think it's because the land around the rivers are fertile because of all that minerals and silt so you can get lots of crops. Also, they could trade easily by using the Khyber pass (in Hindu Kush Mountain) 4. Accurately label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map.
 * Questions:**

5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River? The ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River because the Sarasvati River eventually dried up around 1900 B.C.E.

Your task is to find specific details and evidence from our textbook for the information presented in each paragraph about each kingdom. Then re-write the paragraph adding the new specific details and evidence you found. Write the new paragraph on your wiki page. The Old Kingdom (2700 BCE - 2200 BCE)** ** The Old Kingdom (2700 BCE-2200 BCE): ** 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. After building a few pyramids, at great expense to the state, it occurred to pharaohs that pyramids were rather easy to spot, and thus, much easier to rob than a hidden tomb. Things changed during the middle kingdom.
 * __Part 1__

Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...** The Old Kingdom is called 'The Pyramid Age' because it was the starting of the building of the pyramid. Also, it was the only time that pharaohs were buried in pyramids. One of the greatest pyramid is the great pyramid of Khufu. About 100,000 workers were needed to build just one pyramid (slaves didn't work for it. Workers were paid for it), but soon, it was so hard to buil one pyramid because of all the money and it was easy to spot so it was easier to rob rather than the hidden tomb. ** 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...**
 * Specific details and evidence can be found on pages 98-100 in our textbook.
 * Pyramids (definition, examples, construction details): Pyramids are huge, stone tombs with four triangle shaped sides that met in a point on the top. It was easy to spot and it was harder to rob. Great Pyramid of Khufu is one of the examples of pyramids.
 * Workers: There were about 100,000 workers may have been needed to build a single pyramid. The government paid the workers for their work.
 * Importance of the pyramids
 * __Part 2__**
 * The Middle Kingdom (2100 BCE-1800 BCE): ** The middle kingdom was Egypt's Golden Age. Trade flourished, arts and literature flourished. Egypt built strong armies to defend herself against her neighbors. During the time period of the middle kingdom, pharaohs were expected to be good kings and wise rulers. And pharaohs were buried in hidden tombs, all over the place. Most probably, there are tombs yet to be discovered because they were hidden so well.
 * the difference with the Old Kingdom
 * what life was like during this time
 * wars or battles and who was involved

The Middle Kingdom is known as the 'Egypt's Golden Age' because many literature, arts and trading developed. In Middle Kingdom, Pharaohs were not buried in the pyramids and buried in the tombs. Egypt had strong armies to defend their selves, but soon, egyptian was ruled by any nobles and enemies from south west Asia called Hykos attacked.

__**Part 3**__ ** The New Kingdom (1500 BCE-1000 BCE): ** The new kingdom was Egypt's expansion period. Egypt expanded her borders through military conquest and became a world power. 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.

 * 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 was Egypt's expansion period. In this period, after they battled the hyksos, they decided to take control of all possible invasion routes into the kingdom. Also, they took over the entire eastern shore of the Mediterranean, the kingdom of Kush, and syria (north) Euphrates river. Egyptians hated foreigners like the hyksos because they controlled egyptians land (or egypt). The Rameses the great was involved in lots of wars or battles. Rameses the great fought the Hittites. Soon, egypt took over many lands so they became more richer. One of the rulers (pharaohs) that were involved in trading was Hatshepsut. She sent Egyptian traders south to trade with the kingdom of Punt with gold on the Red Sea and north to trade with people in Asia Minor and Greece. Later, Pharaohs used money to develop (and trade) arts and architecture.

=__Assignment 4__= I want to be Ma'at because it doesn't do anything harmful to people. Also, because viziers were in charge of her (viziers are rich and powerful). I don't want to be Atum becuase I think he's showing off and saying that he's the king of the both place (upper and lower egypt). I found some similar gods. One of them is Ra which is one of the Egyptian gods and Shamash which is the Mesopotamian gods. Ra and Shamash are similiar because they are both man and they are both the sun gods.Also, theyboth have something holding on their hand, they are wearing somethng (like mask and hat(?)). I think some gods are similiar even though Egypt and Mesopotamia had different civilizations becuase still if they didn't have the same civilization, they still had th same nature (like sun, water, fire, wind, etc...) and also, some countries copy some of the other countries and do the same thing or blive in the same gods. I think that's how Egypt and Mesopotamia's gods are similiar even if they don't have the same civilization.

By the end of the Old Kingdom, Egypt had about 2 million people and because the population grew, social levels appeared. The top of Egyptian society was the pharaoh, then the upper classes, which are like priests, key government officials, nobles, or people from rich and powerful families. Then, it was middle class which were government officials, scribes, and a few rich craftspeople, and then the lower class, more than 80 percent of the population, were mostly farmers, servants and slaves. A lso, during the Old Kingdom, Egypt traded south along the Nile to Nubia. 6.b. What may be some advantages and disadvantages of such a large segment of the population being farmers, servants, and slaves? Some advantages and disadvantages are that they can have lots of food suply and pharaoh will be more comfeterble, but there will be so much people that needs pharaoh's control and rich people will be more recher and poor people will be more poor. Also, rebellions. 6.c. What did farmers do during flood season? Farmers works on the pharaoh’s building projects during the flooding seasons. 7.

If you need reminders of what we did, just scroll through the assignments on this page or look through your notes.

The single most impotant thing I learned was the trader's game because first, it was fun, and second, I can learn how to trade and I think trading is hard because sometimes people don't trade if you don't have what they want. Also, Mesopotamia had lots of empires. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was when we did the Akkadians Empire because I missed the whole section except 1, so I couldn't really understand. Also, it was confusing with Hammurabi. Something that surprised me the most was that Hammurabi was cruel too. It surprised me when Hammurabi said Sargon was his role model because Sargon was really cruel and Hammurabi wanted to be loved from people. I would like to know more about Akkadian empire because like I said, I missed the whole section so I couln't understand and also, it's confusing. The part that I think I will always remember is when we did the trader's game because it was really fun.

I like to be Shamash (Utu) because he's a sun god and I think sun god(s) is very similiar with normal people.

Also, I like to de like him because, he is also the god of truth and justice, so he can see anything(everything).

I don't want to be Marduk because he' s the city god of Babylon and I think it's gonna be even hard for gods to control(?) Babylon by him/her self. Also, he goes to battle when the other gods agree and makes him as their leader, but I think I can't even go to the battle and still if I go there, I don't think that I can be the leader of gods team(?).

I will advise the King, that anyone should get same punishment if they made the same crime. Ur's power was gone, so few invaders battled for the power to control Mesopotamia. (laid and ruins) Babylon was located on Euphrates River near what is today Baghdad, Iraq. Hammurabi became Babylon's king in 1792 B.C.E. Monarch is a ruler of a kingdom or an empire. After conquering all of Mesopotamia, Hammurabi called his empire Babylonian Empire. He also had skills to make code of laws, and a ruler who could control the empire. Hammurabi's code was a set of 282 laws that dealt with almost every part of daily life. The code covered trade, loans, and theft to marriage, injury, and murder. Hammurabi's code was important because first, it was thorough(detailed), and second, everyone can see it. After Hammurabi's death, Babylonian power decreased. It's similar to the Akkadia Empire because after both, after the leader died, other people couldn't keep the empire. __6. If any one steal the property of a temple or of the court, he shall be put to death, and also the one who receives the stolen thing from him shall be put to death.__ I think this law is interesting because just because of stealing something from the temple or court, I dont think it will cause alot of problem like to put him to death. I disagree with this law and I think it's cruel law. __14. If any one steal the minor son of another, he shall be put to death.__ I think this law is interesting because it's protecting people that can't protect him/herself. I agree with this law and I think it's a good law. __22. If any one is committing a robbery and is caught, then he shall be put to death.__ I think this law is interesting because I think it's interesting because that a person will put to death just because of robbing. I disagree with this law and I think this law is cruel.
