Greek Values

The Greeks had 7 to 8 important values, but the three most important, were respect, loyalty and teamwork. These three are most seen in Greek epic poems. To the Greeks these were important, because they guided them through life and should them the most important values they should always follow and keep in there mind.

Most of the old Greeks values, are found in the modern world. Respect would fit into caring and openmindess, while loyalty would fit into caring and principled. In this modern world teamwork would fit into communication. As you can see all these values fit in these modern values and connect. The modern Greeks invented a lot of the values we use today, at least the basis

Minoans and Mycenaeans

During early ancient Greece there were to main civilizations, the Minoans that came from the Greek island of Crete, and the Mycenaeans who were located on mainland Greece. The Minoans where an older civilization, and were friendly, diplomatic and peace loving. They were great traders and advanced architects, who even built flushing toilets. There culture consisted of many peaceful activities and celebrations. They worshiped the Earth goddess who was, peace and nature loving.

On the other hand you had the Mycenaeans who were military organized. They were bloodthirsty and liked warfare. There Idea was train there military and conquer new lands. They were also advanced architects, and built all there weapons out of gold. They had a little feasts and celebrations. The Mycenaeans Had a Earth mother who protected the warriors. The Mycenaeans conquered the Minoans without any resistance.

Both Civilizations left something for later Greek civilizations. They left there advanced architecture and building ways. The Minoans probably left some of there activities and celebrations. While the Mycenaeans left there weapon building ideas and plans. They probably left there good shipbuilding techniques and plans, and there trading routes. And most importantly some parts of Religion.

End of year reflection

WOW! The time machine actually worked, in front of me i could see the huge and vast plains of Africa, animals roamed free like they used to years ago, their were people, but they looked nothing like us much hairier and simpler, they held tools that resembled weapons, these humans were chasing after an animal, minutes and minutes passed they seemed so persistent, and then the animal finally fell before there feet in exhaustion, but this wasn't enough they chased after other animals close by.

I disappeared! and reappeared but the scene was different I was in a town Catal Huyuk, a town of sun dried brick, but unlike normal towns I was standing on a roof instead of a street. The town bustled with activity, people were all around walking carrying stuff. People entered and exited building through rooftops, I could smell grain, I watched and watched this interesting town, and as I started to get the hang of it I disappeared again.

This time unlike the times the times before I was on a boat in the nile , on either side I saw a sandy bank and desert continued onward, here and there villages appeared people were fishing and tending there everyday lives, houses were wooden, and all people were farming. Soon I disappeared again to repaper.

I was again In a town, as I looked towards the horizon I saw huge mountains, people here were in different outfits, some looked wealth and some poor, now and then a person wearing orange appeared, on the sides of streets some people were peacefully meditating. I even saw a untouchable doing dirty work. And then I disappeared this time I was home this was a amazing adventure

Vishnu

Vishnu is the supreme god in the Vaishnavism tradition of Hinduism. Vishnu is described having divine color of water filled clouds. He is one of the three main gods, known as the preserver, while the other two are the creator and destroyer. The belief that Vishnu is the preserver in Hinduism cam quite after the creation of the religion. When the nine powers on Earth are upset and not equal it is fought Vishnu comes to equalize them and make them fair. Vishnu is portrayed as blue or black shinned and has four arms. He has a thousand names and their repetition is an act of devotion.

Map reflection

Our three maps are very similar. The maps show different aspects of India and when you sum it up you learn a lot about the climate, elevation and physical features. They relate to each other in the way that it all makes since the climate for example depends on the elevation and and physical features.The area is a desert there surely wouldn't be rain forest climates. Or in the Himalaya's there wouldn't we ocean climate.

I through this I can draw a lot of conclusions about India. An example is where people settled, through observing the map I see, most of the main cities are located on flat land which is at a pretty low altitude usually not exceeding 400 meters. Through the map I can also draw a conclusion that weather in India varies in each part of this massive country but that they have two main seasons, the normal one were, during the days it's pretty hot and the monsoon one were it keeps on raining.

As you can see you can observe and learn a lot about a country by only studying it's map.

Lost City of Mohenjo Daro

Archeologists didn't know the Indus civilization existed until 1921 when in the are of modern day Pakistan scientists found the ancient and mysterious city of Mohenjo Daro. The city was organised, which meant that the people were great Urban planners, and easily controlled water.

One interesting fact about the city is that it has nor palaces nor temples, which meant they didn't have a king or queen who ruled the whole time. Experts believe, Mohenjo Daro was a city-state that was governed bye elected leaders, such as modern day president's.

Unlike most religions and beliefs their one was based on something else. The closest found to a temple in the town of Mohenjo Daro was a building that somewhat represented a temple. It is believed that this ancient civilization believed in cleanness every house had a well and a bathroom.
