chapter 6 blog

By the time man left Africa they spread onto the 3 supercontinents of the time which were the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa.  But the population was unevenly distributed, about 85% of humans lived in Eurasia after the Agricultural Revolution. Also, many countries didnt have the animals/ livestock that we have today because they were all in different areas and continents at the time and havent been moved yet. like Eurasia and the Americas, Africa had many different societies and cultures and they were the most tropicla out of the three super continents becuse of them being closer to the equator. We see the Nile Valley as a very important source for Egypts agriculture and it was the center of Egyptian dynasty. In 100 C.E. we see that the African lands start to see the emregence of christianty this is due to the trade they had within the Red Sea and the Kingdom of Meroe declined. In Mesoamerica we see the domestication of very big animals which was a big advancement in humanity because this opened up many doors with trade, how quick things were done, and travel. we see the civilazation of the Andes emerge and these include, the Chavin, the Moche, the wari and tiwanaka, these were all very small empires.

Chapter 10

In this chapter they talked about the spread of christianity in the world from 500-1300 and it is known as Christendom. We see the spread of Christianity through Asia and Africa. Rome made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire, after the Roman Empire fell they moved the empire to the east and it became the Byzantine Empire and that lasted over 1000 years. With Christendom we see that it really started spreading from the people in the west who were led by the catholic church I’m Rome and it spread through from there. We also see much conflict between the Roman Catholic Church and between the Byzantine empire which becomes the Eastern Orthodox Church. The crusaded also emerged between the Christians and the Muslims and it went only limited to targets in the Islamic Middle East.

On page 94 you can see the picture of the statue that was found in India and created by the Indus valley people.  The features that i notice on the statue are that she looks like shes confident, powerful, and a respected individual.  What I can identify is that she is probably a wealth or an elite member of society. I think this becasue she is wearing jewelry and her hair is done nicely, and the way of how her clothing is worn could be a sign of wealth. What i got from the statue was that it shows that these people had an advanced ability to work with metal to make a statue like that. I also think that it als could be saying that women could have been highly respected in there society based off of that work of art.

Roman history on the germans 1. Tacitus describes the Germanian government saying it was based off skilled based leadershipand the leaders would try to lead the people by example instead of just by authority. They also saw there women as higher in society, they were also very focused on there military and were very feared because of it. 2. I think one statement that is reliable is about the Germans choosing there own kings based by birth, and that they chose their generals by merit. 3. Tacticus saw the germans as very barbaric people, because of how they trained there men from a young age and were always fighting.  I think that if he saw that the german played a major role in defeating the Roman Empire because they were such great fighters. 4. I think that Tacticus praised the Germans a little bit because he liked that they were "pure bloods" and not mixed with anything like how the Romans were. I think he also liked how cl...
