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?// The things that Minoan and Mycenaean civilization have in common are that Minoan has an agriculture that are related to farming, fishing and local arts. But also, Mycenaean has an agriculture that is related from farming which was an agricultural economy based on grains, grapes, and olives. //2. In what ways were the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations different?// The Minoans were the first people to "settle down" in Greece. they were rugged people, so when the Mycenaean came they tought them sea trade, a religion, a language and overall improved their life to become more civilized. //3. Why do you think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae?// I think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae because since the Minoan's one of the agricultural is about the local art. //4. What other geographical areas, besides Mycenae, might Minoan civilization have influenced?// (i'm not sure) spain or egypt etc. //5. What aspects of Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations would you expect to have survived in later periods of Greek history?// i hope that the local art will have kept on survive for years because art shows how that century were at that time. //6.

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. ==== ====<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Webdings,sans-serif;"> 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. ==== ====<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Webdings,sans-serif;"> 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="color: #000000; font-family: Webdings,sans-serif;"> **Questions:** 1. In what ways is your map similar to the one that you see in the map above? -Rivers, oceans, and mountains named are the similarities of the one that i see in the map above and my map. 2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? -the Sarasvati rivers, Indian ocean, and Arabian sea. 3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Sarasvati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. -well, both of the rivers is a very good place to live. for example the reason why it is a good place to live is because people can farm in that place and 4. Accurately draw and label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map? 5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River? -indian people eventually migrate to the ganga river because 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. = =

They still use a scale to measure or trade things with other country or people. Also now and the past, had houses. 3. What can we learn from archaeological discoveries (such as artifacts and city construction) in Mohenjo-Daro? They had wheels to use the transportation comfortable and to move things very easily. But also, they had used indus writing at the seals. Lastly, they've had made lots of jewelery for people who has plenty of money to buy or people who are rich. So, they can look pretty or because of some of the other reasons. 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.

1. What have you learned about daily life in Mohenjo-Daro from this activity? I have learned that they have used dice as we use in these days for games. Also I have learned that they had also used wheels and scales for transporting and trading with other country or people. 2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain. I think the seals that had animals carved is in highly developed culture for example including in art etc. I think like that because there are Indus writing and drawing or a carving of an animal. 3. In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city? I think rich people were wearing jeweleries and some people using wheels so it could be easier for them to move. 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 is difficult for us because they're writing or languages were not well used and what they almost only did was just use mud to make bricks and do farming.

What have you learned about daily life in Mohenjo- Daro from this activity? I have learned lots of things about Mohenjo-Daro. For example I have learned that Mohenjo-Daro had used scales to trade things, wills to drink water, used dices from that time to play games, used lots of jewelery to look pretty, also they had used hard clay and made a really tall and a high wall to be safe from the floods etc. 2. Which aspects of daily life do you see represented in the picture that the artist drew? People farming and kill some animals to prepare or be ready for the gods and goods for there land or life. 3. In what ways do you think mohenjo- Daro was like a modern city? I think people will be wearing cotton clothes and have potteries in their head. But in the other hand, boys or men will be farming and get some foods so their family will get healthy and live together happy. 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 is difficult for us to know exactly what life it was like in ancient civilizations like those in the Indus-sarasvati region because we don't know exactly how the house looks like or how the people looks like and what they wear. We don't know those part exactly because people had found only the bricks or the walls and they had only found a few types of jewelry. But the jewelry can come from other countries. For example they had traded something with other country by using jewelry and some stuffs that they have. Also there was no drawing or letters found in that days. So that's why we don't know what had happened during those days because drawings and writing are one of the clues that the people can know what happened during those days. 5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro? I think it will be slaves because some groups of people are holding a big stones and some groups of people are sitting beside the bricks. So it makes me think that they are slaves. Also they are all wearing a same cloth! Also they are not wearing shirts. So I think they are really hot.

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 single most important thing that I learned was the Egyptian make up part. The important thing that I learned was the Egyptian make up because my final project was about Egyptian make up. From there, I learned that Egyptian liked to do make up and they did make up to look beautiful or pretty will be close to the god. Also, I've learned that, men also did a make up!!! But not always, but only when it's a special day. For example, when there is a parade, concert, or a performance etc. 2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was... Something that confused me were the Pharaoh's. It was confused for me because there were Pharaoh's in the new kingdom, middle kingdom, and new kingdom. The part that I didn't understand was the part when some peoples came to Egypt and they ruled Egypt for more than 100 years. (i think) 3. What surprised me the most was... The thing that surprised me is was that Hatshepsut was the female ruler and she was a Pharaoh! That was surprised me the most because I have only heard that almost all of the Pharaoh's are male. 4. I would like to know more about.. I would like to know more about Egyptian drawings. I would like to know more about this because if you see the wall inside the pyramid, there are lots of drawings, that tells what happened at that time. 5. The part that I think I will always remember was... The part that I think I will always remember was Pharaoh Hatshepsut because she achieved the art in Egypt and she's the first female Pharaoh in Egypt. Also the biggest important part is that everyone liked Pharaoh Hatshepsut. That is important because nobody would like a female Pharaoh and like male Pharaoh.

How could your classmate improve his/her video? Helen-In her project, her information's were very good, but there were no songs and they almost didn't read the information. Also there were lots of information to read. So it was hard for me o read them all and it kept on make me feel that something is missing inside the project. Jamine-She had lots of information it was really nice and her information were very clear. I could barely understand the information more specific than just by reading because they had showed us by using lots of jesters. But the problem was they were not talking very clear enough.

 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Webdings,sans-serif;">wars or battles (invasions) and who was involved
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Webdings,sans-serif;">Pyramids are huge, stone tombs with four triangle shaped sides that met in a point on a top. They had built the pyramid during the Old kingdom and the largest pyramid is the Great Pyramid of Khufu.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Webdings,sans-serif;">This single pyramid took thousands of workers and more than 2 million limestone blocks to build. The workers didn't work on the same part. They divided into lots of parts. For example there were drawing part carving part etc.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Webdings,sans-serif;">The size and the shape of the pyramid were symbolic. Pointing to the skies, the Pharaoh's journey to the after life. They built the pyramid because they believed the pharaoh, as their links to the gods, controlled everyone's life.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Webdings,sans-serif;">The difference between the old kingdom is that the building and maintaining pyramids cost a lot of money. Pharaoh's could not collect enough taxes to keep up with their expenses.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Webdings,sans-serif;">The life was a powerful Pharaoh defeated his rivals, and once again all of Egypt was united.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Webdings,sans-serif;">Military conquests made Egypt rich. For example the kingdom of Kush in Nubia south of Egypt sent payments of gold, leopard skins, and precious stones to the Pharaohs.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Webdings,sans-serif;">Hatshepsut and later pharaohs used the money they gained from trade to support the arts and architecture. Hatshepsut especially is remembered for the many impressive monuments and temples built during her reign. The best known of these structures is temple near the city of Thebes.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Webdings,sans-serif;">Ramses built a series of forts to strengthen the western frontier. This proved to be a wise decision because the Tehenu invaded again a century later. So the Tehenu were defeated once again.
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: Webdings,sans-serif;">Egypt survived, but its empire in Asia was gone. Shortly after the invasions of the Hittites and the Sea peoples, the New Kingdom came to an end. Egypt fell into a period of violence and disorder.

But I don't want the sky and the earth be separated and if it's separated, we might not see the blue sky anymore. 2. I think the Queen of the Night and the god Shu has a similarities.

It is interesting that long time ago there was a rule that if he were a freed man he shall pay tree shekels because now days, we do not do like that.

Even tho he was a slave, I think his owner can't pay for him because he has shekels.
