I made a shield from scratch based of the shields Spartans used during the battle of thermoplae. In this battle the Spartans were out numbered 300 - 100,000. They held the Persians back long enough for the rest of Greek to gather forces and give a full assault. Spartans used Shields, daggers, and most importantly spears.

When people think of Ancient Kush Pyramids they probably think of giant pyramids. Those pyramids are called Nubian Pyramids. The Nubian Pyramids were built by the Ancient Kushite Kingdom. The kushite kingdom along with there Pharaoh (leader)  settled in Khartoum, Sudan ( Ancient Kush) a long time ago around 3,000 B.C.E and 500 C.E. When the Pharaoh passes away the people that the Pharaoh ruled over would get the pharaoh ready for the afterlife then putting the body in the pyramid with all the things that the pharaoh loved. In ancient kush there was a river name The Nile River. The people that once lived in Ancient Kush used the Nile river as a food supply as well as drinking water. Using the water from the Nile river they used the water to grow crops. (food)

Mummification matters because it leads people into the afterlife. Mummification has changed a lot since we do not do this anymore. The Egyptians usually are only known for their pyramids, But they did a lot of other things to.

Amelia Mary Earhart was born on July 24, 1897. Amelia is a very important woman. She successfully flew across the Atlantic on her own. This matters because she proved that women can do anything and not just men. Everything changed when she flew to the Pacific Ocean. Amelia disappeared on July 2, 1937 at the age of 39, and was declared dead on January 5, 1937. Amelia Earhart was known for being the first woman to fly across the Atlantic  and succeed many aviation records.

This person matters because she is fighting for climate change, which is super important and might affect our future in unexpected ways. Thousand of people could die and Millions more will have to be resettled somewhere if we don't do something now. My person influences us to change this so that these poor people won't have to be resettled and we can stop climate change. She is usually not talked about in school, only when the topic of climate change comes up, teachers will usually mention her.

This Topic matters because it is someone's story. It also matters because If you want to ever visit Egypt you know some history already, plus you get to know some facts and landmarks. Another reason is It is just good information to have. This place and culture is taught often all around the world.

This topic influenced the present by making Egypt a democracy. They made it a democracy because they finally realized the social hierarchy was unfair. So they made it so that people don't have to farm and be peasants and slaves. So now in 2020 the people of Egypt have a president and are working regular jobs. Of course there are still farmers, but they aren't peasants or slaves.

In my opinion ancient Egypt matters because it shows the different practices such as religion,  the different styles and the way they acted such as discipline.Writing,math, makeup and perfume were one of the things Egypt had a huge impact on. Like the way people today communicate, travel, eat, dress, and etc were inspired by the way egyptians handled clothes and other things.The materials that they made from jewelry were  ornaments,heart scarabs, lucky charms, bracelets, beaded necklaces, and rings. For noble egyptians, like queens and pharaohs, the egyptian jewelry was made from precious metals, minerals, gems, and coloured glass. While others wore jewelry made from rocks, bones, clay, animal teeth, and shells.

King tut wasn't like any other pharaoh he was the youngest king,becoming king at age 8 he decided to change some rules that made people enjoy having him around even more.He was known for reversing the “tumultuous religious reforms” of his father.Why was king tut so famous? Tutankhamen was like any other king just younger but his tomb was the only royal burial found intact in ‘modern times’. The tomb was important because it let archaeologists record what an Egyptian king's tomb looked like and learn more about ancient Egypt.He became the Pharaoh of Egypt when his father died when he was only seven, and he became Pharaoh two years later when he married his sister. Marrying your sister was a normal thing in those days,most Pharaohs married their sister but Tutankhamen had a half sister,there's no evidence if they had kids but theirs is a chance.“Virtual Autopsy” Researchers believe he had a club foot, buck teeth and a feminine physique, along with multiple diseases. Researchers found a  stone sarcophagus with Tut's solid-gold coffin also lay inside, ‘as did two little coffins with his presumed stillborn daughters.’

The Untold Story Of ancient egypt by: Shaila.W.E 

# data[].attributes.body
Ms. Pengosro's class
Among the ancient time for almost 30 centuries in history, the Egyptians played a major role in creating paper and writing which contributed to the daily routines of how our world functions in today's society. Ancient Egypt was one of the most powerful and greatest civilizations in the world's history. They were located along the Nile River in northeast Africa and this river was a source of wealth for all the Egyptians such as food, soil, transportation and water source such that during the flooding season the water would help them with their rich and profitable crops.This made the Egyptians very wealthy and experts in farming. For example, some of our architecture skills that were used by the ancient Egyptians are still being used in our lives today. They created and built very large and massive temples and monuments that we know today as the pyramids and tombs which archaeologists still study today for example, the artifacts, pyramids, tombs, etc. This influences many of our daily tasks, culture, and decisions today.

I believe the ancient Egyptians are not discussed in our daily studies in school because it is ancient history where we can only read and study the research that is done by the archaeologists and what we study in History on Ancient Egypt. This is very interesting and which we could imagine what life would have been like back in those ancient times. It would have been a great era to have lived.

Cave art is dates back to the Ice Age. This is the type of parietal art. This type of art you can find on cave ceilings or walls. Mainly on walls. The first cave that was painted on was acknowledged as being Paleolithic, which means Stone Age. This is very relevant because scientists could research what happened back then.

A mummy is a preserved body of somebody special in Egyptian times like a pharaoh, a prince, or any well known leader. Scientist are learning more about mummies every day. Ancient Egyptians were surprisingly good at preserving them.
the mummification process:
The process of mummifying someone takes about seventy days to complete, they start off by removing all of the internal parts(this includes the brain and organs), but left the heart, believing it was the center of a person’s intelligence.  Next, they would cover the body in natron (a type of salt) for a long time.Then, the body was stuffed with linen. This was to give it a more human-like shape. Lastly, the mummy was wrapped in bandages head to toe. The mummy was then placed in a decorated casket(a fancy coffin).

If the mummy was a pharaoh, then it would be placed inside of a special casket, and probably buried in a fancy tomb with paintings on the walls, pottery or jewels.

# data[].attributes.body
Mummies  are dead animals or humans where they store in coffins or  sarcophaguses. If you wonder how they mummify them, here's the perfect place to learn about that. The first step to mummify is getting a hook and inserting it into the nose and pull out parts of the brain. Next you would make a cut on the left side near the stomach. Then you remove all the internal organs. Now we would let them sit and dry. After that, place the lungs, intestines, stomach, and liver and put them into jars. But, we would take the heart and place it back inside the body. Then, rinse the body with wine and spices. After that, cover the body with salt for about 70 days. After 40 days, put the body with sand to make have a more human shape. After those 70 days, wrap the body with bandages. Last but not least, we would put the body into the sacrophaguse.

This project is a cave art project about me. Cave art and early humans are usually not skipped over in schools and teachings. This matters to me and I chose to do this topic because of what we have learned about cave art and what it had us see about early humans also known as hominids. Scientists and historians have learned what our most early ancestors thought, did, and believed in through their cave paintings and art. Theses paintings impact how we all see hominids and how we see their priorities.So in this art that I made, I hope that later generations can see what I think of, what I do, and what is important to me, as well as other people in this era. And I hope that they see us as how we really are and how we really mean to be.

I think learning about herstory is important because women and women of certain races are often underestimated or boxed in by stereotypes. This has made it nearly twice as hard for women to pave ways for new ideas and even when they do they are often gossiped about. I chose Marie Curie because even though she is well known and I though a lot of people would choose her, I was still fascinated and wanted to learn more. As a result I learned a lot about her life and her struggles to become a well known chemist and scientist. But even though I thought I understood her well enough, I figured out you can't truly understand someone until you see the world through their eyes. So I analyzed some of her quotes to understand her better. I think that Marie Curie was one of the most brilliant yet mysterious minds in the world and that's why I've chosen her for my history project.

n 559 BCE Cyrus was the leader of Persia. He was the great great grandson of the first leader. Before Cyrus was leader Persia was a little stream state in the Median Empire. The Median empire was ruled by Cyrus grandfather. Cyrus argued with his grandfather and started a rebellion.  He won the rebellion in 550 BCE. He took over the Median empire. It’s very important to know your history so you can learn from it. It is not called Persia anymore it’s Iran. Yes most people focus on Egypt, Rome Greece, not really Persia.

China has a lot of great stuff. For example, Beautiful Clothes, Delicious food, and amazing culture! However, ancient China is a little bit different! Gun powder, paper, printing, compasses, kites, and umbrellas were invented when China was ancient. Kites were used for warnings, umbrellas were used to protect each other from rain and the sun. Doctors found different herbs to cure sick people. Their clothes are important also! They wore loose robes made out of soft silk. For Women, the robes reached their feet and for Men, it only reached the knees. The sleeves were long and they recommend dark colors. China is fantastic and important so The Great Wall Of China was built to avoid mongols (enemies). It lasted until 1878 but parts of it remained and were from 600 years ago. Tourists love this place and it is located in Northern China. It is over 3,700 miles (21, 196.18 km) and there are 3,873,000,000 bricks!

Ancient Kush was a civilization in modern-day Sudan, close to Egypt along the Nile River, going back to around 2000 B.C.E. Many archaeologists skimmed over or discredited Ancient Kush’s accomplishments, notably in trade and architecture, sometimes assuming and recording that the Egyptians were responsible for the impressive feats. This was simply because the Kushites, as they were portrayed in art, had darker skin than that of the inhabitants of neighboring African kingdoms. Contrary to the belief of early excavators of the site, Kush was a successful and prosperous civilization with many good resources for trading, including gold and ivory. Women also had a bigger role in leading the kingdom than in other civilizations of the time. Several powerful queens ruled in Kush and were known as kandakes, or queen mothers. They ruled alongside kings and led armies in battle.
Kush and Egypt had a complex history. They traded with one another, but occasionally fought. Egypt took control of Kush around 1600 B.C.E., influencing the civilization’s culture for many years afterward. However, Egypt’s rule wasn’t permanent, as turmoil between groups caused tension and brought out insecurities in its power. After once again becoming separate from the Egyptians, the Kushites saw their opportunity and conquered Egypt. King Piye, the ruler of Kush at the time, united the two civilizations and became leader of both. The Kushites did their best to restore Egypt to its previous state and built many great monuments. This lasted until around 650 B.C.E., when attacking Assyrian armies gained control of Egypt. The Kushites returned to Kush, but were again attacked by Egypt and forced to move farther south, away from their capital city. The new capital, Meroë, had the resources for Kush to rebuild and to enter a new age. The Kushites discarded Egyptian traditions, developing a new language, set of beliefs, and artistic methods. The kingdom of Kush survived for many years after this, fighting many more battles, including a war with Rome. The Kushites, led by the powerful kandake Queen Amanirenas, succeeded in getting Rome to sign a peace treaty, a seemingly impossible feat against Rome’s huge forces. The civilization collapsed 350 C.E., but made a lasting impression on history long after its downfall.

I wasn’t excited at first, but it was fun working on it once I started. It took me around 2 weeks to finish it. I’m most proud of the fact that I included a well inside all 6 houses. It was really fun adding the pipes and pathways to my tiny city. I used cut out plastic boba straws and taped them to the bottom of the project.

The old sewer system was very advanced, with bathrooms, drains, pipes, and wells. Dirty water and waste would make its way to the river, flowing down the streets. Archaeologists believe that every house in Mohenjodaro had a bathroom because of it. There wasn’t a system as complex as the Ancient Indian one for another 2,000 years. People normally think of the art, culture, and riches when it comes to Ancient India. Although those are important parts of the country, the sewer system was an amazing achievement that is often overlooked. I thought that it would be an interesting topic to focus on, because people don’t pay attention to the complex structure.

Josh Benedict Amoyan - The Giza Pyramid Complex

# data[].attributes.body
The Giza Pyramid Complex, also called the Giza Necropolis includes a bunch of pyramids, and a sphinx. This includes the Great Pyramid of Giza, which was made by Pharaoh Khufu. Actually, the whole Giza Pyramid Complex, except for the sphinx, was made by Pharaoh Khufu, and they used the pyramids as tombs for the pharaohs. The pyramids were made between 2589 and 2504 BC. These pyramids were made by workers who were employed by Khufu. The bricks that were used were as heavy as 2.5 to 15 tons of weight, and people wonder of how Egyptians moved the massive bricks to build the pyramid. The sphinx was actually made by Pharaoh Khafre, and was made in 2494 BC. The Giza Pyramid Complex was an important part of Egyptian history because it showed how the pharaohs reigned Ancient Egypt.

Ancient Egypt/Pyramids: A long time ago in 3100 BCE to 30 BCE there was a time called ancient Egypt. In ancient Egypt they built a lot of pyramids. There are still some standing today in Egypt. During the time they had ranks of business. The higher up you where the more wealthy and respected you would be. The Pharaoh is the highest and he/she would be the leader of ancient Egypt. There where about 170 pharaohs during the period of ancient Egypt. The next level of people where the government officials and priests. They were very wealthy people who were respected very well. The priest’s were the people who did all of the religious duties like funerals and other stuff. The government officials normally took orders from the pharaohs and led them into war. The next people were scribes who were treated decent and they recorded everything that happened in there area. Next it was the artisans who where skilled artists and other skilled workers who worked around there area. They Were not treated very well. Lastly, there were slaves. They worked in the fields collecting grain and other foods. They were treated very poorly.

The Egyptians used the Nile river for many things like washing, cooking, and even drinking. Without the Nile river, many Egyptians would have suffered. The Nile river fertilized their land. That was good for their crops and because of that, Egypt sold a lot of wheat. Then they became rich. Today, people use the Nile river for irrigation. They also use it for transportation and a trade route.

Ancient Egypt is one of the most important places on earth, it is very old, and has a lot of history, even just in one pyramid! They worship mummy’s which are kings that have passed away, and they put riches, pets, and other stuff so they can be happy in the after life! They are very big ranging over a hundred million people! They have delicious food, that if you are hungry you should definitely try when next time you see it in a menu in a restaurant! Egypt was founded in about 3100 B.C.! Making it one of the oldest places founded on earth. They have so much we haven’t discovered yet, so as the years get by, we are going to learn more!

My project was on the neolithic times of humans. The neolithic times was after paleolithic times. They are different because in the paleolithic times they found homes and found food and when they were done with that place they left. The neolithic on the other hand made their homes and grew their own food. This allowed them to pick a spot they wanted to live and stay there forever. One bad thing about this is that this made territory wars or raids. A good thing about this is that they could trade materials with other tribes.

The pyramids of Giza are considered to be one of  the most famous and important landmarks in the world, but have you ever wondered why?  One reason why they are so famous and impressive is that they are so old. It is amazing they have stayed so well preserved over these thousands of years, or to be exact 4,509 years, or 148,797 generations.  Also it only took them 60 years to build, now that might not seem astonishing, but if you think about it, it is. Some reasons this is so impressive is because they had no machines to move the limestone blocks or even make them, and on top of that they had to make the rooms on the inside. Another reason they are so famous is because of what they were used for. Now you probably are thinking, “I know what they were used for, they were used for the pharos once they were dead”, but why make such huge buildings just for a dead pharaoh, and why a pyramid? I can tell you. They made them so big because they believed that once you die if you are closer to god then it is easier to get the afterworld, so in making the pyramid a triangular shape they could make it taller. To me it seems people often think about the pharaohs when they think about pyramids but I think that it is important to tegnologie the slaves who actually built them but seem to be often overlooked. An even more impressive thing about the pyramids is that they shaped how we think about architecture today. In conclusion, the Giza pyramids are very important in our history.

Interview with my Grandparents (Yaya & Nai)
J: The first question is where did you guys grow up?

Y: We grew up in Taiwan which  is Island on China's coast and we were educated there

J; Okay when did you move to the US and what was the experience like for you?

N: Nai came in 1970 - I came here for graduate school study.

J: Were you raised in the Buddhist tradition?

Y: Yes, sort of. Most Chinese were either Buddhist or Taoist, so there are two main religions in China. One is Buddhism, one is Taoism.

J: Okay the next question is how did you practice or how do you practice Buddhism such as having the temple upstairs, praying, meditating or stuff like that?

N: I mainly do meditation and praying.  We don't go to the temple because it is hard to find a temple to go to.

J: So that is why you kept the temple altar?

N: Yea, now you have it. You and mom have it.

J: Okay what's the purpose of the temple, how is the temple maintained and what traditions come from keeping the temple in your house?

Y: Oh, you mean the altar. It's from Grandpa's (Yaya’s) father and mother.  They brought the altar from Taiwan for us so we set up our own shrine in our house.  It’s a place, and  it's a good place for meditation, showing respect and also you can get blessings from the Buddhas.

J: Ok cool. Are there any particular ceremonies or festivals that you guys partake in?

Y: Nothing in particular. But when there are masters that come, we go and listen to their teachings and get blessings from them.

J: Taibao (my cousin) do you meditate with Nai?

Tai: Sometimes!

Y: I do meditate with Nai, but not as regular as Nai

J: What do you wish to pass on to your family? From your learnings and teachings?

Y: You have to do good deeds to have good karma. Also, you have to practice compassion. Compassion is the highest form of love. So I hope that will become a tradition - to practice compassion and develop good karma.

I chose to write about pyramids and the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh is the highest on the social pyramid. The Pharaoh is buried inside the pyramid. People believed that the Pharaoh is a god. The top of the social pyramid had the most power and status. Peasants were the largest social class. Peasants worked the land and provided the Egyptians with a steady food supply.

All lot of people think of pyramids as huge ones  or normal ones but some of them don't know the full history of the pyramid and what it represents in history  they probably think that it’s where pharaohs live and that's it they don't know what happens in the inside of the pyramid. They probably think of ancient egypt as an old civilization and they don’t care because it’s old. Like the settled next to the nile river, The nile river is full or nutrients for the crops and other stuff . The Nile river would flood once a year because from the snow from the mountains and it comes down to the river and it adds to much water to the river. And that's the bad part about settling near the nile river because it floods once every year.  The Pyramids were built for the pharaohs it was where they lived and died. When they died they were buried that's what the pyramid meant for. Once they pharaoh died they had to do certain steps in order for the pharaoh. First they had to Insert a hook through a hole near the nose so they could get the brain out after that they cut the left side of the body near the stomach to remove all the organs than the place lungs intestines stomach and liver in a jar. Than they place the heart back in the stomach. That's the whole mummification process

Mount Olympus is the highest mountain peak in Greece. In Greek mythology, it was the home of Zeus’ throne. In Homer’s story, Odyssey, the mountain never had storms. Mount Olympus is important because Zeus was the leader of the Greek gods. The stories of the Greek gods help to explain what the Greeks believed in. Greek civilization has influenced a lot of other civilizations. Greek mythology is pretty common in schools in Western civilizations because their culture has influenced modern day culture.

You may have thought of early hominids as cavemen. All big and stupid, and a small part of that is true but the rest I must tell. Early hominids started when the Australopithecus named Lucy was born. She was about 3 feet tall and walked a little bit like us humans do today. Back then in 4 million B.C.E she did not even know how to cook or make a fire or even kill an animal and eat its raw flesh. All she really knew was that she ate berries and had some family. This is not that fascinating though. Later on in time around 2 million B.C.E there was another human like creature it was called the homo habilis. Now these people were a bit more advanced and were a bit taller. They were the ones who created a killing machine to animals. They would get a sharp rock and kill the animal and eat it. Believe it or not this was called the newer technology. They had straighter spines and made them walk up straighter. Then come along the homo erectus in around the time period of 1 million B.C.E and created the most important tool to the early hominids. It was ...fire! This was a great tool because then they would be able to eat food that was cooked instead of raw and with diseases. These human like creatures were 5 feet tall and a bit less hair all over. Scientists believe that they migrated all the way from Africa to Asia and Europe.That is where the scientist found the remains of them. Then came along the Homo sapiens. These were the people who were known for creating the new technology such as a spear. This was a useful tool back then so that they could ambush animals that were hard to kill.They were about 5 ½ feet tall and had a less like monkey face. And finally there were the homo sapien sapiens.These were the one that are pretty much all of us modern day humans with clothes and smarts.They created a bow and arrow even better for ambushes. They worked in groups and helped each other when in need.They were like a family pack of Wolves never abandoning the pack. Any ways they were the starters of the planet earth's human race and were the one who made us who we are today.

Most people probably think of ancient egypt as huge pyramids and sphinxes. But, What about where the people lived? Well they settled right next to the Nile river. The Nile river was full of Nutrients and resources. For example, it provided water, food, and brilliant soil to grow crops in. The only bad thing for settling next to the river was that it would flood once every year because of melting snow from the mountains. But, yes there were definitely pyramids and sphinxes. Do you know why those pyramids were built? All just to bury one person. But, this person was the Pharaoh ( the leader ). So they were very special and respected. The pyramid took 20 years to make and each stone was moved by hand!!! And the one purpose was for the Pharaoh and he didn’t move a single stone! Also, when the ancient egyptian people buried someone, they would preserve the body and mummify it. This took a long process with many steps. Insert a hook through a hole near the nose and pull out part of the brain. Make a cut on the left side of the body near the tummy. Remove all internal organs. Let the internal organs dry. Place the lungs, intestines, stomach and liver inside canopic jars. Place the heart back inside the body. That was the mummification process. The egyptians had a very complex society. It was really well organized, if not 100% fair. This system is called the egyptian caste system. It organizes the people into groups so things go more smoothly. People are born into their caste. The people at the “top” are usually the most rich, and the most respected. The people at the bottom were the opposite. At the top of the Caste system was the Pharaoh. They are the leader of the society. Next were the government officials, who also made important decisions, and helped advise the Pharaoh. Next were the soldiers. The egyptian army was very powerful, and successful. After that, were the scribes. The scribes were very important because they were the only ones who could read or write! No one else could read or write! After that there was the craftsman, and merchants. They created things, and traded for things. After that, were the farmers. They were very important and helped keep a steady food supply, but the did not get much credit being second to last on the caste system. Last, and (well I guess you could say least) were the slaves. Yup, they had slaves. Sad. Just sad. Nothing else has to be said.
