Egyptian Art Poster

    
  In this piece of art there is a Human and has a head of a jackal. His name is Anubis he is the defender of tombs and of the Ancient Egyptian pyramids. In the picture Anubis is watching over a tomb which is on our right on the bottom corner. Also in the picture are hieroglyphs, the hieroglyphs in this piece of art say, "By Rafa" and on the other side it says, "STKP."  The importance of this picture is to show the placement of this Egyptian god and to show that life back then was hard just like ours today. 

The Importance of the Nile River

How do natural features such as rivers, lakes and mountains help unite people or keep them isolated from each other?
Natural features like rivers, lakes and mountains can unite people by them meeting on the river when passing by. They can also help each other with fishing and they can also trade with one another because of the fish they catch. Another example, is that when the river over flows they get closer because they help one another in many different way like, they can help them get to a safer place or they would help them rescue there family and bring them to safety. The river can unite people in many ways. Mountains can unite people as well like they can, make people find each other on the mountain or they can go hunting together for mountain cat or goat. So now from all those examples you get an idea of how nature can bring people closer or even meet each other. 

My trip down the Nile!!

My muscles soar after a long journey down the Nile from a fishing trip far away. The sun shone red as it settled behind the desert. I saw the shadow of a sphinx as I keep going. I hear the slaves arguing behind the sanguines.
Then i feel my boat jerk a bit, and then i automatically now that i got into a very strong and big current. When i lay down to rest a bit, i look up and see a full sky of stars as bright as a new diamond. When i wake up i look at the bank and then look at the cliffs that hang next to the Nile, i see shiny moonstone and i heard if you go South then, you end up in Nubia and the cliffs there have a lot of Granite. Then i feel a hard wind of sand hit my face and then i realize that there was a small sand storm. The water started to get stronger and more fierce. Then after  2 hours of strong winds i realize that i am in the Lower part/ the Nile Delta. My trip is over, that was the best 30 hours of my life.

This poster was on Phonicians and there life and how there empire worked. This is my groups poster. In my group there was Jude, Jovanna and me. I think that our group did a great job even though some people were not there. The next time i do a poster on something like this i would really like to do it on Persians and there lifes and how they conquered other lands. 

Enheduana of Sumer

The Enheduana of Sumer i thought was very interesting and what it told you about the princes. The most interesting facts for me where about king Sargon. For example, "Sargon was considered the greatest of all the Akkadian Kings." That is a good fact. I also found that the art and the intensity of the art was really cool. But i would like to know more on how they made these artifacts, how they made such good detail. 


Questions: 


1) The books were written on clay with a pointy object called a stylus.


2) Her father lived in a  spanking new big palace. Her father was a farmer for the King Sargon.


3) Enheduana was a poet and best selling author in the Sumer land. She quiet her job because she had to leave and go to the priest to do her duties. 


5) Enheduana wrote prayer and sold them to people around the city and in church. 

Blog post on change!!!

Q:  From earliest times, people have changed their environments. How have people today changed their environment. 


Back in the stone age, like the Homo Erectus they lived in Africa, they lived in the lush green forest and plains. But now it is dry and the grass is yellow and when the rain does not come the pounds and the streams get all dried up unlike before the rivers would stay filled up with fresh water and water you can drink with out being killed by some bacteria or virus. 
People in 3000- 2000 BC they lived on the plains most people before lived on the plains, they only lived there because of the food/ animals. But not so long ago with the Aztecs or Maya they and others lived in the high mountains unlike the Ur.
So as i can see there has been a big change in the environment for now to all the way back then.
