Today we took a pop quiz on pre-history, and we immediately got our scores on it, and I got a 60%. Also, on the blog for West Civ, there was an assignment that we had to complete. The assignment was to take brief notes on a section we were assigned to read. My notes include the following:
-Steppes-vast semiarid grasslands or plains
-People of the Nile moved toward civilization (neolithic age)
-Egyptian civilization is more stable the Mesopotamian
-Pharaoh-The rulers of ancient Egypt
-Egyptian civilization was linked with a single state under a single ruler
-Pharaohs are like "presidents"
-Pharaohs were identified with three of the country's ruling deities
-Thousands of priests daily served the gods and goddesses in hundreds of temples up and down the Two Lands
-The Pharaohs had many other wives besides their principle wife
-Most of the wives had to live apart form the pharaohs
-The most successful ruler was Hashbesut, who resigned as king after 1500 B.C.
