Why I think the Indus Valley is the best ancient world group.

My favorite ancient world group is the Indus Valley. I like the Indus civilization  because it was  a peaceful group because they say no evidence of a war was going on with them and they also said that they didn't have guns. I  would  definitely would want to be in their group if I lived in the past. Also, I think its good to have peace because so people can work together instead of fighting all the time. Another, reason I like  the Indus Valley because they made a writing system and without them I don't think that we would learn how to write.

CHINESE REVOLUTION?!?!


    The Chinese civilization grabbed my attention the most and i had fun learning about China. I don't know much about Chinese people, so I had fun learning, and it was interesting that they believed in signs from Heaven. I think that I would pray for Heaven to make sure my village doesn't get demolished. I would want them to get cars because they could travel farther and longer. With a car they could conquer more land and have a bigger civilization. What would you give to the Chinese civilization? Comment below!

My favorite civilization

  My favorite civilization was learning about the egyptians because they were very interesting to me.

   One of the reasons I liked the egyptians was because they did a lot of cool things like building there own tools and trading.

   Another reason I liked them is because they did a lot of building like the pyramids and other structures. 

   I also I like how they ride elephants into war and stuff like that.

Those are the reasons that my favorite civilization is egypt.

My Favorite Ancient Civilization


My favorite ancient civilization is Chapter 2's sections. I like how diverse it is and, I also liked trying to pronounce the names (I still can't pronounce Mesopotamia). Anyways, I think that it is really cool to have different beliefs and to be able to share your beliefs and not be made fun of , for being a certain religion. Also I think that  it's amazing that the people there don't take advantage of the resources they have. I conclusion I think it is the most interesting reading.

The Best Civilization Babylonia

For the ancient world playlist my favorite civilization that I liked to learn about was the Babylonians. I liked learning about Babylonians because they created 12 lunar months, the 60 minute hour, and advanced multiplication tables. I found that very interesting because I like learning about numbers and facts.
If I lived in the time of Babylonia I would be a farmer because farmers would make a lot of money back then because they had more tools for farming then hunting and hunting was harder to catch and the prices would cost more than farmers food because farmers would have more food. I would probably experience more illness and sickness because they didn’t have antibiotics and also more people were in need for food than now. I would also experience different homes/houses that I would live in if I could. If I had a way to transport something back to the time of the Babylonians II would transport. Back then they had good soils to farm on and it and if Babylonians knew how to build and use tractors it would change the amount and time it takes to farm.

Indus Valley is the best

My favorite ancient world is the Indus Valley.The people of the Indus Valley Civilization also developed a writing system which was used for several hundred years. However, unlike some other ancient civilizations, we are still unable to read the words that they wrote.Also the Indus were well-organised and solidly built out of brick and stone. Their drainage systems, wells and water storage systems were the most sophisticated in the ancient world. They also developed systems of weights and trade.That is why I like the Indus Valley.

Accent China is the best!!!!!

I thought that the  accent Chinese were the most interesting part of the accent world play list. I liked this because of how they worshiped there goods also how they thought about them like if there was some sort of natural or weather problem they thought it was the emperors fault. In conclusion ancient china was my favorite part of the ancient world play list and i would like to learn more about it.What was your favorite part of the ancient world play list.

The young hindu prince



A young hindu prince once lived a life full of luxury. The prince was surrounded by beauty and youth. He had never witnessed old age, sickness, or death. Around the age of 30, the prince traveled outside the palace walls.What he saw changed the way he saw things. He saw a sick man, a corpse, and a  tired old man.The suffering and death troubled the prince .He wondered why  this pain and misery was happening. He decided that he would change the way he lived to find the answer. He gave up his wealth, his family, and his life of ease in order to find the cause of human suffering.He's the person who is known as buddha.              Image result for buddhism

The Babylonians

               My favorite civilization is the Babylonians. Not only did they invent my favorite part about math (multiplication tables) but they were also created the sixty-minute hour and a calendar with twelve lunar months. The Babylonians also had a great religious and cultural center since they inherited the culture of an earlier civilization known as Sumer.  If you think about it the Babylonians had a great impact on our own lifestyle today. For example, how many times do you wonder what time is it? Or what 7*8 is? So, what other civilizations can you find that have had an impact on our lifestyle today?

what to do if you got the good stuff (i forgot to do this)

if i had $25 i would get some snacks because i get hungry a lot and nobody can't survive without any food, i would maybe get COD WWII or assassins creed origins because they're both fun games.  with the $25 I would get a massage or a haircut because massages feel good and if you have long hair and if you want to look like you're not a fool then have $25 with you and go get a haircut cuz i need one

Assyria

    Assyria was a major Mesopotamian kingdom and empire of the ancient Near East. It existed as a state from perhaps as early as the 25th century BC, until its lapse between 612 BC and 609 BC, spanning the Early to Middle Bronze Age through to the late Iron Age.From the end of the seventh century BC to the mid-seventh century AD. For the most part ruled by foreign powers, a period which also saw Assyria become a major center of Syriac Christianity

Indus valley

 

         The Indus valley was a civilization in modern day Mesopotamia in 340 B.C.E. . They are now an unknown civilization, their civilization is located in the region of middle east and they had multiple gods that they believed in and archaeologists uncovered written pictures of supernatural beings on their wall. Their civilization depended of farming and they had a surplus of food and they could feed all the people. their civilization is so unknown they had only the lifestyle of the people who lived there but no names or rulers. Well let's see what they uncover about them in the future.

Back to the future

My favorite civilization to learn about was the Egyptian reason that I liked learning about The Egyptians was because they were able to survive even thought they were flooded for about six months a year and still had enough food for not everyone to have to farm.I think that if I lived in an ancient world then I would have done fine.If I could send back one tool I would send a solar powered ceramic and wood saw.they would be able to cut things so much faster and been able to build things a lot faster.

Favorite ancient civilization to learn about

My favorite civilization to learn about was the Mesopotamian civilization. It is interesting to learn about Mesopotamia because it has the longest history of all the other civilization I learned during the playlist. Each the three kingdoms; Assyria, Babylonia, and Sumer had various and interesting characteristics that are contrasting to the other kingdoms in Mesopotamia. The inventions and discoveries of Mesopotamian civilization also make its history interesting.
If I had lived in the Mesopotamian civilization, I think I would be a farmer because that was a job people normally had. I don’t think I could have done something special. It was hard to get an information and to learn because the writing system was not advanced as now, the books were rare and of course, the internet did not exist.

I think the ships of the modern world would have benefitted the ancient civilizations the most because the ships allow people to travel and carry many things to a further distance.

The Indus Valley civilization is better than your civilization

The Indus Valley civilization is my favorite and the best civilization out of the rest stay in tuned to hear why. The things that stuck out to me was how they were peaceful and that they didn't sacrifices also that they did not have that many weapons. If I lived back then I think I would've done really good because If i was part of other civilization i would killing people and doing sacrifices because I think I would just leave that tribe when I first realized what I would have to do.  The tool that would benefited them would be a car so they could travel more and explore more of the world and they would probably survive and still be a civilization.I know that the Indus valley is the best civilization, so try to convince me to like another civilization but good luck cause it's gonna be really hard.

Fave to learn about!!!

My favorite ancient civilization to learn about was the Indus Valley civilization. I think the Indus Valley civilization is more interesting to learn about than the other civilizations back then because they had well-built cities for their days and I liked their way of living. If I had to live with them and had to experience what they went through I don't think I would have liked it. They didn't have many things that we do now like technology and a lot of things we like hadn't been invented yet. I think the lightbulb would have benefitted the ancient civilizations the most. People would usually just go to bed because they couldn't do much after dark. If they lightbulbs I think they would stay up later and be able to spend more time doing things. Would you like to have lived in the Indus Valley civilization back then?

Blog Episode II: The Ancient World Ain't So Ancient


Greetings and welcome back to our blog!
For the past three weeks, you have learned about early civilizations in China, Egypt/North Africa, the Middle East and Pakistan/India. You learned why all of them started in river valleys, that some were peaceful and some experienced the constant threat of overthrow, and that each contributed something to the pool in which we all swim.

Now is your chance to do a little knowledge dump. Which civilization was your favorite to learn about? What were some of the aspects of those people that made them more interesting than the others? How do you think you would have done if you had lived with them and had to experience what they experienced? And for a stretch, what single tool from the modern world would you think might have benefitted the ancient civilizations the most if you could somehow magically transport it to them over time and space? Think about the struggles that they overcame and how they might have advanced themselves even further with the benefit of this one new tool. Follow the rules for Posts and Comments below.
