Today we just worked on our power point, and our group added pictures and added more facts.

Notes

The acropolis was a hill and highest point in town. 3500 B.C. Indo European nomads from the steppes migrate into Europe. European Barbarian was the way of life. 2200 B.C. Minoan civilization takes root in Crete. Greeks arrive in southeastern Europe. 1600 B.C. Greeks fortified settlements along the Aegean. 1400 B.C. was the destruction of the Minoan towns. The barbarians were tribal people of Indo Eurpoean, they eventually civilized in the east. People of prehistoric Europe were organized to establish megaliths such as stone tombs and monuments. The stone hedge in England was built with stone boulders and arranged according to solar and lunar cycles. The barbarian way of life was often war-like with some central leaders. they practiced rituals and would bury their dead. tribes were formed by their groups and family. The first barbarian people to spread to the Aegean were the Greeks. The east side of Greece is the Aegean sea, and the west side is the Ionian comes between Greece and Italy. Greece is a mountainous peninsula and it is covered by 3/4 mountains. Proximity 1400 islands in Aegean and Ionian Sea. the Location shaped their culture. they had skilled sailors but poor natural resources. it was difficult to unite ancient Greeks because of terrain developed small independent communities.

Homework

Friday's test was simple and I am happy we were able to use our blogs. That really helped me. There was a Migrations period where the European Barbarians would invade different areas. They also did a lot of migration during that time period.  There was extreme weather problems and it was extremely cold. They were very uncivilized in different ways but were still able to create villages. A Barbarian is a word used to describe someone who is uncivilized and out of control. It could also describe someone who is very violent. They would make stone artifacts and create places to temporally stay in. A Megalith is a large stone that is used to create different monuments or models of something using different rocks maybe as well. They would live in different tribes which are divisions of people sometimes based on religion, family, or social class. The Barbarians were often divided into the tribes. Indo European relates to the different European families. They migrated to the west areas and would invade those areas as well. Thats why they were so uncivilized. They moved to Western Europe and would keep migrating.

Notes

Today we finished the prezi power point and just went over last minute notes in class. We are having a test Friday so we went over another power point to review for it. About the Pharaohs and pyramids and the everyday life. They mummified people and it wasn't all slaves that did all the work building things. The most wealthy people would wear all white to show that they didn't get dirty and then they were able to figure out there is only 365 days in a year by studying the moon. They thought cats were special and would worship them as well. They had over 2000 gods and goddesses and believed that if you did not go into the afterlife with one of them you would spend the rest of eternity in fire. They would take out your lungs and heart when they would bury you and put them in jars and place them next to you. they would do this so when you passed over all of the things you needed to live were there with you. The Nile helped keep them alive and survive. without it they wouldn't have been able to do anything. The women were not high in rank and at the most they only had two female rulers. Women could however divorce their husband if they wanted too, and inherit money or land from husbands or fathers.

Worst game

Today we had to build a pyramid and it took forever for me an holly to finally finish. We could not figure out what we were doing wrong or why it kept telling us we failed. Between the two of us we at least did it over 5 times over and over again. We got very angry with it but at the end when I finally made the pyramid we felt very good about ourselves that we did not have to do it over. It was a sense of relief that felt very good. Overall today was stressful class but it taught us not to give up even if we think we can not do it. Everyone I think was able to finish in our class and that made us feel very good too. It was an interesting class today.
