What Problems did your group run into? 3. How did your group deal with these problems? 4. Identify two similarities between all of the origin stories. 5. Compare and Contrast any of the two origin stories presented in class (at least one paragraph).
 * Assignment 3**
 * Note you will have 3 class periods to prepare your plays. See Resources-1

1.My roles in the puppet show is Marduk and the Narrator.Also I was props manager. 2. Our group had two problems. The first problem was that our puppets size was to small. Our other problem was that we missed some puppets like the monsters. 3. For the first problem we fixed it by just getting it closer and sometimes smaller which worked. The second problem we fixed by using our hands. 4. The two similarities is that the first one is that all of these story's included humans. The other similarities is that all of the gods were angry or sad at least once because for our story (the one with Marduk) other gods besides Marduk and his father were living a good life. When all the other gods are angry at Marduk. For the Egypt story the god Ra was sad that his creations were gone! For the Chinese one the girl goddess was sad because she had no friends. For the Greek story Zeus gets angry at other gods because he forbidden fire out of the heavens but Prometheus took the fire and gave it too the humans so Zeus was angry. This is interesting! Why do you think this is so? 5. Egypt Story and the Chinese Story In the Egypt story there is a god there is also a god in the Chinese story. Both of the gods are lonely. However later on they make friends or family members. Both gods are like monsters. lonely in beginning happy in the end. For the Egypt story the god cry's to make people. However the Chinese story the god makes the humans. Thus these are my compare and contrast.**

The homo habilis are smarter then the Australopithecus because the homo habilis had half the size of our brains. The homo erectus learned to control fire, made stone tools, and they migrated. The Homo sapiens are wise mans because they developed language. Thus basically Homo sapiens are us the smartest ones yet. 6. We are homo sapiens.

1. Read the "If you were there..." section on page 74. How will you advise the King? 2. What happened to Ur by 2000 BCE? 3. Where was Babylon located? 4. Who became the king of Babylon? When did he become king? 5. What is a monarch? 6. After conquering all of Mesopotamia, what did Hammurabi call his empire? 7. Hammurabi was a great warrior and leader. What other skills did he have? 8. What is Hammurabi's Code? What areas of daily life did the code cover? 9. Give two reasons why Hammurabi's Code was important. 10. What eventually happened to the Babylonian Empire? How is this similar to what happened to the Akkadian Empire? 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.

1. I will advise the king by telling him that are people are the same. I'll tell the king what kind of punishment the king should give the noble and the commoner should be equal. 2. Ur was in joy when Sargon the Great had died. Attacking drained Ur's strength by 2000 BCE Ur was in ruins. 3. Babylon was located near the Euphrates river also known as Baghdad, Iraq. 4. The person who became king is a person named Hammurabi he became king at 1792 BC. 5. A monarch is a ruler of a kingdom or a empire. 6. He named his empire Babylonian empire. 7. Hammurabi had another skill he can even govern a huge empire. 8. The Hammurabi's code is a law on daily life. The code covered almost or basically everything in life. 9. The Hammurabi code is important because first laws you have to keep or else the world will be crazy because people kill each other and they don't go to jail second the Hammurabi code is a law on trade, loan, marriage, theft, injury, and murder. 10. In the end because of Hammurabi's death the Babylon empire ended. This is similar to the Akkadian empire because when Sargon died this ended the Akkadian empire too. 11. 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 is interesting because of the last sentence. Whoever retrieves the stolen thing shall be killed why? That person just went to get the stolen thing! I think this law is cruel.

14. If any one steal the minor son of another, he shall be put to death.

I think this was interesting because people cared about there sons. I thought they just sold them to become rich. I think this rule is fair because this is like kidnapping if anyone steals a son that's kidnapping.

34. If a ... or a ... harm the property of a captain, injure the captain, or take away from the captain a gift presented to him by the king, then the. . . or. . . shall be put to death.

I think this one was interesting because of the ...'s also the fact that who would actually like to steal a captain's gift so that should be a obvious rule. This is fair because anyone may not insult anyone that's higher then that person it's like a little kid saying swears to his mom.

 * 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 or goddess . Then choose one that you would __**not**__ want to be and explain why. Make sure your explanations are **middle school quality explanations**.
 * 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?

Part 1: I would like to be the god Thoth the god of Writing and knowledge. The Egyptians they got their intelligence and writing skills by the god Thoth. I would like to be the God Thoth because I would like to have knowledge. Be smart and wise. This is my reason why I want to be the god Thoth. I would not like to be the God Anubis the god of embalming. I would not like to be this god because he killed his own brother who in the end became the god of the underworld. Since his brother Seth is god of the Underworld the Underworld is Seth's territory. When Anubis dies when he try's to go through the gates to the Underworld he'll die while going. His heart is not purified. His heart will be not purified because He killed his brother who in the end rules the Underworld. This is why I don't want to be The God Anubis.

Part 2: The god Thoth is similar to the god Ea (Enki) because the god Thoth is the god of Intelligence and writing. The god Ea(Enki) is the god of Wisdom which is sort of the same to intelligence. They both gave the world something. Thoth gave intelligence to the Human and Enka or Ea made us humans.

Some of the largest pyramid were made from the old kingdom like the Great Pyramid of Khufu that was near the town Giza. This pyramid alone took 2 million workers. The Pyramids did not have smooth sides. The pyramid started to become smooth around 2700 B.C.E. Workers were paid grains instead of money. The Pyramids are important because they represent the pharaohs journey to the after life. Part 2 The difference with the old kingdom is that the middle kingdom is more earlier than the old kingdom.

 * 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.

=Assignment 6-3= 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. They both had a trade route to Egypt. 2. Mycenaean not like Minoan Mycenaean putting most of their energy on military while Minoan were very good at sailing. 3. I think so many Minoan civilization is found at Mycenae because the Mycenae role model is Minoan. 4. I think other places are Egypt. 5. They would have survived because they were sailors and can fight on the sea well or good. 6. The decline was that they both got destroyed by either a bad location and weak army.
