A SnapShot of World History

Early Human Societies

9500 BCE

I would describe the change as quite choppy because there was a few ice games in these times. Three very clear characteristics about hunter-gatherers are that they moved around a lot, their trash was spread out over large areas and there was little sulfurous food that was available.

Early Human Societies Part 2

9500 BCE

I found in the paleolithic and Neolithic activity There were a lot of examples of how it’s changed specifically in the video “Origins of Agriculture” in the video he said that there’s no way we could have these big jumps in population density without agriculture. He believes that a big change was that maybe we had positive climate change from a human point of view because between some of the ice areas there were anatomically advanced humans this just doesn’t mean their brains.

9500 BCE

Their thoughts might have been as advanced as the modern humans who had thought of agriculture. A few turning points in this. It was the beginning of our agriculture after the last Ice Age and it really changed because hunter-gatherers really were just trying to find food and they weren’t really planting their food. Then they started to plant their crops and make farms that had cattle instead of hunting animals all the time.

Early Human Societies Part 4

9500 BCE

They didn’t settle and they didn’t really have a specific territory that they stayed in. Then they started to settle and with that their population started to grow because they were expanding and not constantly moving and if they did it was just where they would find food for themselves.

9500 BCE

Inuit hunter-gatherers can be found in northern Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. Inuit means people and is used for the native “Eskimo” peoples of Chukotka. They represent some of the most extreme of the hunter-gatherers still around today and the hunt in one of the Earth’s harshest environments. When they hunt they focus on marine meals such as the bowhead whale in most of their harvest which can be found on the Western Arctic coast.

Question 2(part 2)
This could be in the terms of his laws he jas a whole chapter on engagement, marriage, divorce, adultery, incest, children, and many more he always seemed to want to improve these people’s lives. The piece of evidence he provides or is providing is Hammurabi’s code. I don’t believe this made me rethink my answer to question B. I believe my answer would be the same but just slightly tweaked.

Historical perspective Part 3

1754 BCE

Question 2(part 1)
I definitely agree with the author from his point of view. This is because I agree that Hammurabi is one of the greatest and most influential kings. He always seemed to be trying to improve the lives of other people instead of trying to improve the lives of himself which is what other kings may have done.

Historical perspective Part 1

1754 BCE

Question 1(part 1)
I believe that Hammurabi has the loudest voice. This is because he refers to himself as the chosen one and he called himself the king who made the four quarters of the earth stable/obedient. A few factors were that everyone was so religious so when he would tell them he spoke to the gods they would believe him and go along with any law he put in place.

Historical perspective Part 2

1754 BCE

Question 1(part 2)
I think the people's perspective is left out because they believe anything he is saying but what happens if some of his laws are wrong or unfair, they would just have to do as they are told and not say in it. One example of presentism is believing these codes are right and justifiable and they’re the exact same as laws are today.

Historical perspective Part 5

1754 BCE

Question 3(part 1)
A modern-day law is the death penalty when the jury and protection see it should be used. The death penalty is usually used in America. The death penalty can also be known as capital punishment it is the state-sanctioned killing of a person considered punishment for a crime. This sentence is ordering someone who is punished with the death sentence, and the carrying out of the sentence is called an execution.

Historical perspective Part 6

1754 BCE

Question 3(part 2)
The death penalty was abolished in Canada on September 1, 1999. Hammurabi’s code is an eye for an eye and in some states in America and few places around the world if you kill someone or do a very bad crime it's basically an eye for an eye and you get executed.
The sources that I used will be in the next section.

The Death of Darius the Great(Cause and Consequence) Part 1

480 BCE

The empire was called Achaemenid, this civilization went downhill when Darius the Great died and his son Xerxes I took over. But before we go into Xerxes I'll talk about Darius I. He was a great leader who supported tolerance of other religions and the reformed central government. Darius expanded his empire, developed the first postal system and he also created the king’s highway (The Royal Road).

The Death of Darius the Great(Cause and Consequence) Part 2

480 BCE

Xerxes had a few leadership skills before inheriting the throne. He was able to crush uprisings in Babylon and Egypt; it all went downhill when he decided to focus on Greece where he was then defeated and barely had a military when they got back. Xerxes depleted the royal treasury with his unsuccessful campaign to invade Greece and he continued this when returning home.

The Death of Darius the Great(Cause and Consequence) Part 4

480 BCE

I don't believe the consequences were intended or wanted because I don't believe Xerxes wanted his father’s empires to decline. He most likely thought he would win all of these wars and conflicts, he was obviously trying to do it for his people and empire. He may have increased the taxes for what he thought was a good idea. Most leaders would do this because they usually believe their judgement is the best.

The Death of Darius the Great(Cause and Consequence) Part 5

480 BCE

The consequence of Xerxes’ downfall to Greece may have actually been positive. Before I get into this let me tell you a bit about The Battle of Salamis. In 480 BC, Greece was in a long war against Persia. Greece was made up of an alliance of city-states which then joined together to prevenPersia from conquering their lands. The Persian army led by King Xerxes was large and powerful and they were winning.

The Death of Darius the Great(Cause and Consequence) Part 6

480 BCE

The Persian Empire had expanded west to a big part of Greece and King Xerxes was very focused on conquering all of it. Let’s skip a bit too near the end of this long war, what happened next shocked Xerxes.
The problem for the Persians was there were too many ships moving into really narrow spaces at once. The ships began to bump into each other as the waves moved towards their ships in front which led to broken ships and difficulty navigating.

The Death of Darius the Great(Cause and Consequence) Part 8

480 BCE

The battle had marked a turning point in the Greece and Persian wars. Historians say that the battle was one of the most significant in history. The victory enabled Greek civilization and western civilization to develop so to me it’s a positive consequence.

The Death of Darius the Great(Cause and Consequence) Part 3

480 BCE

This section for social and economic factors The main reason the defeat happened is that the Persian taxes became heavier which then led to their economic depression and there were many revolts which then turned into the snowflake effect where things are just getting worse and worse. The social factors started breaking down once there was no longer a powerful ruler. So the people below the upper class started building uprisings and other actions of revolt against rulers.

The Death of Darius the Great(Cause and Consequence) Part 7

480 BCE

The Greek ships had a lot more space to move in so they could easily attack the Persian ships. The Persians were unable to retreat. The Greeks then formed a line and easily took the Persians' large army by slowly taking them out.
Xerxes was horrified at what he saw and quickly retreated from Greece.

Significance of Leonardo Da Vinci Part 5

1500

Leonardo da Vinci connects to the current because he has helped us understand the human body. He has also thought about flight years earlier before anyone else he even created a parachute and we still use them to this day. If Leonardo was alive today he could help fix the issues with the grounded Boeing planes or even create a new environment-efficient plane.

Significance of Leonardo Da Vinci Part 1

1500

I believe Lendonaro da Vinci is significant because of his inventions and brilliance. With his impact, he specifically worked in the arts and science and had inventions that were crazy smart for his time and his art was beautiful. His work still gets studied every day and some may consider him one of the greatest thinkers of his time he may be the greatest he also still inspires people to this day.

Significance of Leonardo Da Vinci Part 2

1500

Now let's talk about Leonardo’s inventions he was ahead of his time by making an “Aerial Screw” that looks like a helicopter he even has a drawing that looks like a tank and those were not used until 1914 during the first world war. Some of his other inventions were the” Self-Propelled Cart”,” Diving Suit” and another more famous the Ornithopter.

1500

Another one everyone knows is the "Parachute" but there were other inventors who helped. As we can see his inventions were very ahead of his time and he had a brilliant mind.
Now we are going to talk about his brilliance he did a lot throughout his life with painting to making inventions, Leonardo had a great understanding of aerodynamics and he was the first or even the first person to make real studies of flying and made designs possible flying machines.

Significance of Leonardo Da Vinci Part 4

1500

Remember this is all before electricity and way before it’s been proven that machine wouldn’t well it would only work for maybe 20 yards but it is crazy he thought of it.
Leonardo doesnt represent a turning point in his era but he is definitely one of the most important people in his civilization this is because he was such a great thinker and he had so many wonderful ideas that really helped his era as well as pushing the edge of this time.
