=__Ancient Greece__=

=__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 were famous for their craft work. They were famous for what they made and their works. Also they were both growing things. //2. In what ways were the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations different?// A: The Minoans made mostly arts and religion. Also they traded with others through the sea. However the Mycenaeans developed their work on war and tombs. This means they were more interested in weapons and strengthning the military. //3. Why do you think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae?// A: It was the root of the culture of the Mycenaeans. Mycenaeans were considered the most developed culture on the mainland of Greece in the old times. They got a lot of ideas from the Minoans. //4. What other geographical areas, besides Mycenae, might Minoan civilization have influenced?// A: It could be Spain, Minor Asia, Egypt and Canaan because the Minoans traded with them. This is because when they trade, they traded ideas, too, not only just items like art. //5. What aspects of Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations would you expect to have survived in later periods of Greek history?// A: I think their artwork and military skills would have remained because it is said that they were the earliest developed cultures. Others would be copying their methods to become stronger. //6. Using your **textbook pages 256-257**, explain how the decline of the Minoans and the Mycenaeans was similar.// A: The decline of the two civilizations are similar because they were thought to be destroyed by natural disasters. The Mycenaeans were destroyed by earthquakes and invasions. The Minoans were destroyed because of flooding caused by a volcano in the North of Crete.

=__Ancient India__=

=__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 that Indian achievements had effected our lives a lot. They invented numbers, medicine and advanced metal working with irons which we now use. So without the Indians, the life right now would have changed a lot.

2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was how Suddartha became enlightened by meditating under a tree. Maybe it is because he was patient enough to meditate for several days to get the enlightenment.

3. What surprised me the most was how Hindus thought that everything was part of Bhraman. It is similar with Christians wanting to go to heaven and the Hindus uniting with Bhraman.

4. I would like to know more about all the empires there were in India. If the last empire we studied ended at the late 500s, should there not be a empire that was formed and destroyed all this time?

5. The part that I think I will always remember was how the sages acted to his/her students. One sage in particular didn't know what he was talking about so the students had to teach the sage, giving the students more work. =__Assignment 9__=
 * Source:** Online Textbook pages 162-171


 * Directions:** You are a sage and you will teach your classmates a part of ancient India's history. The four parts are...
 * The Mauryan Empire (page 162-163, 166)
 * The Gupta Empire (page 164-165)
 * Indian Achievements- Religious Art & Sanskrit Literature (page 167-169)
 * Indian Achievements- Scientific Advances (page 170-171)

Each part has (or might have) pictures, illustrations, maps, dates, vocabulary words, and important people. Your job as a sage is to become an expert on your part so you will be able to comfortably and confidently teach others. Remember that if you don't understand the information, you won't be able to teach others properly. Follow these steps to become a great sage: ==
 * 1) Read all the information on the pages you are responsible for. Don't just read the main parts, look at the other information such as maps or diagrams or pictures.
 * 2) Take notes in your notebook and answer the **//Reading Check//** question after each section to make sure you understand the information. You also have to answer the questions about your section from **page 176** (section 4 or 5).
 * 3) Decide how you are going to present the information to your students. Will you just talk about the information (this can be boring) or will you use visuals or give a slideshow presentation (this can be more interesting)? Remember that your students have not read the information and are counting on you to teach them in an interesting and educational way.
 * 4) How will you check if your students understood the information? Will you make up questions to ask them? What else will you do? Will you ask your students to create something that shows their understanding? Think about how you are taught at school and the activities you do in your classes.
 * 5) Your students must do the work you give them and they must do the following:
 * add at least three important events to their timelines (you choose the events)

1. What have you learned about daily life in Mohenjo-Daro from this activity? The ancient people used carts to load items such as Wheat. Also they cared about appearance because there were jewelry and the statue had a nice trimmed beard.

2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain. 1) A system of government that directs and controls some actions of the members of the society. -There is a statue of a Priest king. 2) A regular food supply that is not likely to suddenly change. -They used weights to trade wheat and they had carts that transported other goods such as barely and rice. 3) Specialization of labor, in which members of the society perform different jobs. - There was a king, rich people, and just regular people. (Commoners) It is because of the statue, the house and the cart that this comes out.4) Different social levels, in which some members of the society are given higher status than others. - Richer people had more windows in houses and more rooms. Also they wore jewelry5) A highly developed culture including art, architecture, music, literature, science, and writing. - They had amulets with pictographs on them.

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? It will be difficult for us to know exactly what life was like for the ancient civilizations because we can not read their ancient writing and also the Sarasvati river dried up. This gives us only to predict what we have found and the life of the ancient civilizations. If we read the ancient writing, it will show a great deal of the ancient times. Most of the city was destroyed. Not many people study India.

5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro? I think that there could have been a sudden drought because the Saravasti river dried up. This means less water and more heat, also causing less crop. Also there could have possibly been a war to conquer these areas. There also could have been a disease. There also could have been a rebel. Some type of Nature Disaster could have ended the city, too.

 * __ Assignment 1 __**


 * 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? Most of the map was similar. However the map above has more rivers and the other places are bigger. There were the same labels.
 * Questions:**

2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? There is one more river flowing near the Indus river on this map. This is Sarasvati river which had dried up around 1900 B.C.E. Also the Indus river was bigger.

3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Sarasvati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. I think it is because there is the kyber pass which leads to central Asia for trading near the rivers and the rivers had lots of silt which made the land fertile.

4. Accurately label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map.

5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River? The reason they migrated to Ganga river is because 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. 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 that the Egyptians had gaps between each three kingdoms. This was important because it shows the pharaoh's power and also how powerful the Egyptians were before making another kingdom. Also it shows great rebel and war between the gaps. That is why that I will remember that there were gaps between the kingdoms

2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was how Egyptians had gaps in the kingdoms. For Example, Egypt was in a time of disorder between the Old and New kingdom. I wonder why they had to be in total chaos when they beginners of each period where smart and got rid of chaos. Maybe the pharaohs had a lack of responsibilities in the end of every kingdom.

3. What surprised me the most was that there were more female pharaohs than I thought of. I only new about Cleopatra Thea who is famous and known to almost every person. I never thought that there will be another female pharaoh, Hatshepsut, who will change Egypt so much. She made a more bigger trading system.

4. I would like to know more about the pharaoh Tutankhamun because we did not really study about him. Also he is one of the few boy pharaoh. But I was glade to learn that he died because of a disease because I really wanted to know the truth about his death. There were many crazy predictions about how he died.

5. The part that I think I will always remember was the pharaoh Akhanaten because of the religious flip he made in Egypt. He was the only pharaoh who denied the gods such as Ra and made up a new god, Aten. I think I will remember him because of what he did.

=__Assignment 7__= Read the information here about the three kingdoms in ancient Egypt. The problem with these three paragraphs is that each paragraph does not have specific details or evidence. 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) Specific details and evidence can be found on pages 98-100 in our textbook. Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...** The old kingdom was called the pyramid age because it was the only time when pyramids were built. Pyramids are huge stone tombs that have four triangular shaped sides that met at the top with one point. The greatest known pyramid is the Great Pyramid of Kufu. It took over a thousand workers to build this and over 2million lime stone blocks to make the shape. It took decades to build one pyramid. The workers used wooden sleds to push the lime stone blocks up to were it was needed. Giant ramps of rubble were pile at the pyramids sides so that the blocks of lime stone and the workers can reach the top. workers cut off the .ime stone with copper and stone tools and were shipped on a boat to the construction. The first pyramid was a step tomb that had rough sides. Egyptians thought that the tombs of the rulers were really important. There were no more pyramids built after this time because the pyramid was so big that it was easy to rob. Also it was easy to spot. The old kingdom fell because the pyramids cost too much money and also the nobles took over the throne and rule for 160 years.
 * Part 1
 * **Pyramids (definition, examples, construction details)**
 * Workers
 * Importance of the pyramids

Part 2 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...**
 * 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

In the middle kingdom, there were no pyramids built. Also it was called the golden age because the trading went well and there were lot of stories. There are many hidden tombs in this period because the pharaohs feared that their tombs will get robbed. Before this, there was a battle of nobles and the one strong pharaoh defeated his rivals and made Egypt into one again. The pharaohs at this time were told as wise and good kings. However in the end of this kingdom fell because the kingdom went into disorder and Hyksos invaded with horse, chariots and advanced weapons to conquer lower Egypt. They soon did. And for 200 years they ruled. (Hyksos is a group from south west Asia) Eventually after the 200 years Ahmose declared himself king and drove the Hyksos away. That was the start of the New kingdom, the 18th dynasty.

__**Part 3**__ Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...**
 * The New Kingdom (1570 BCE - 1070 BCE) **
 * Specific details and 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)

Before the golden age, Hyksos controlled the northern part of Egypt. The southern part was controlled the Nubians. They stayed here for 150 years. Egypt hated being ruled by foreigners. So they rebel against them. Ahmose began the new kingdom and also starts the 18th dynasty. The new kingdom was Egypt's expansion period. This was because the leaders feared for farther invasion and decided to conquer as much land as possible. Egypt expanded her borders through military conquest and became a world power. The territory expanded from Euphrates River to southern Nubia. The Expanded also to the red sea and the western desert. They also became very rich because conquered countries send treasures to the pharaohs and also nearby countries sent gifts to have a good relationship with Egypt. 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. They built great temples,tombs. Also the trading rout became larger. There were valuable resources in the conquered land such as copper. Queen Hatshepsut sent forth traders to trade in minor Asia, Greece and Kingdom of punt. (Near the red sea) However they still got challenges and Ramesses II defeated the hittites in the end. However it took 50 years to do so and the result was that the Asia part of the empire was gone. It fell because of the continuing invasion of the sea people and the Hittites.

I could win any fight! Also I could prevent war or make one. I do not want to be Shu, because he needs to hold up Nut, the goddess of the sky. Since Shu is the goddess of air she needs to hold Nut up which will be frustrating. I think Ishtar, goddess of war and love in Mesopotamia. She is similar to Sekhmet goddess of war and Hator, goddess of protection, love and joy. Also Thoth, god of cuneiform is similar to Ellil, who writes the tablet of destiny in Mesopotamia. Ninurata, the god of war is similar to Sekhmet,goddess of war in Egypt. Anu, god of the sky is similar to Nut, goddess of the sky in Egypt. They are similar because they conquered many lands and use their gods but change the name.

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 the laws Hammurabi made. I thought the were cruel and not equal because they had different treatment for different social levels.

2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was when we did "are you smarter than a neolithic person". The reason is because when we did the select questions, there were always two that were similar so it was hard to choose. However, now if I think about it, I couldn't imagine that I was once confused with those questions.

3. What surprised me the most was when I heard there was an empire before the Babylonian empire because before I learned about Akkad, I never knew that an empire called "Akkadian empire" existed. It was a bit surprising to hear about a empire before Babylonian empire. History is always surprising and mysteries.

4. I would like to know more about the Akkadian Empire because it was interesting and was the first empire every made. I especially want to learn more about Sargon, the first emperor because we mainly studied about how he created the empire and not his life when he was a child or the reason he died.

5. The part that I think I will always remember will be why empires fought over the Mesopotamia. The reason is because the fertile land is good and nothing is surrounding them. =__Assignment 12__= =**Characteristics of Civilization**= =**Empire Name: Chaldean**= usually did the hard work for living. || Was it difficult to find evidence for the empire you picked? Why or why not? It was not so difficult to find the six characteristics for Chaldean because most of answers were on the online text book and if you read closely at the other two sites the answer came out right away. Also finding the second characteristic was the easiest because people fought over the Fertile for farm land and the Chaldean Empire were built on that land. However to find the location of the Chaldean was hard because there was no direct location.

1. Read the "If you were there..." section on page 74. How will you advise the King? I will have advised the king that the rule for every person should be equal because everyone is alive and has a soul. Things with a soul and alive are important so the rules should have an equal punishment. 2. What happened to Ur by 2000 BCE? Ur was destroyed by 2000 BCE. 3. Where was Babylon located? Babylon was located on the Euphrates River near what is today Baghdad, Iraq. It was one of the cities of Sumer. 4. Who became the king of Babylon? When did he become king? Hammurabi became the king at 1792 BCE. 5. What is a monarch? It is a ruler of a kingdom or empire 6. After conquering all of Mesopotamia, what did Hammurabi call his empire? Hammurabi called his empire the Babylonian Empire. 7. Hammurabi was a great warrior and leader. What other skills did he have? He was an able ruler who could govern a huge empire. He built many building and irrigation projects and improved Babylon’s tax collection system to help pay for them. He also brought much prosperity through increased trade. Hammurabi also made code of laws which is the most known thing. 8. What is Hammurabi's Code? What areas of daily life did the code cover? There were laws on everything from trade, loans, and theft to marriage, injury, and murder. 9. Give two reasons why Hammurabi's Code was important. It was important because it had details of the law and was written down for people to see. 10. What eventually happened to the Babylonian Empire? How is this similar to what happened to the Akkadian Empire? It fell. Babylonian Empire is similar to the Akkadian Empire because they both fell after their first emperor died. Also they were attacked from the conquered cities. 11. Read the different laws in the [|Code of Hammurabi on this site] and choose **three** that you think are interesting. __**Copy**__ the three laws and their **numbers** onto your page. Then for **each** law, explain why you think it's interesting. You can write about if you disagree or agree with the law or if you think the law is a good law or a cruel law.

2) If any one bring an accusation against a man, and the accused go to the river and leap into the river, if he sink in the river his accuser shall take possession of his house. But if the river prove that the accused is not guilty, and he escape unhurt, then he who had brought the accusation shall be put to death, while he who leaped into the river shall take possession of the house that had belonged to his accuser. I think this is cruel because it is a myth and there is no way a river can prove guilt. However it shows us how the people from Babylonia believed in myths.

16) If any one receive into his house a runaway male or female slave of the court, or of a freedman, and does not bring it out at the public proclamation of the major domus, the master of the house shall be put to death. I think this is a cruel law because sometimes slaves run because of a cruel master. However this is an interesting law because it shows how much one thought their fortune important.

65) If the gardener do not work in the garden and the product fall off, the gardener shall pay in proportion to other neighboring gardens. It shows us how much Hammurabi thinks responsibility is important. I agree with this law because you can raise your responsibility and gain respect for the hard working.
