  8. Vikings lived from about 700 AD to about 1100 AD . They came from three countries, Denmark, Norway, and Sweeden. The word Viking comes from a language called old horse and means a pirate raid. The Vikings built fast ships for raiding and war. These ships are called dragon ships or longships. Vikings long ships could travel in shallow water making it easier for them to get across rivers as well as sail across the sea.

  12. ancient china and the topic is the silk road which wasn't a road. The silk road was a name that was given to any route from china to rome. why did they have a road that was from china to rome? It was because each country wanted something they didnt have but the other country did for example, rome had gold, silver, and precious gems. While china had silk,spices and ivory. So how did they get the things they need thats easy they traded to one another. But things wernt easy silk was getting scarce in china and some people didnt want to trade so rpome sent there soldiers out to find the traders but many soldiers did not make the trip. It was dangerous to travel along the silk road because of the desolated white hot sand dunes in the desert, the forrbidding mountains,great brutal wind and poisinious snakes! Over the centuries the silk road devoloped a civalization of it own it became far easier to travel the road but it was never easy and even today the silk road is still being talked about in schools all over the world and to me i think it's important to know what it's about.

  15. Hercules was one of the strongest people ever, even has a baby. His father was a god named Zeus but his mother was a mortal. So that made Hercules half man half god. Hera Zeus's wife didn't like Hercules one bit! So she tried to kill him, isn't that crazy to kill your own step son. How she tried to kill him was put snakes in his crib. Hercules killed the snakes because he's strong.

My 3rd favorite God is Hades he is the God of the Underworld. He is also the God of Riches he can summon gold, silver, diamonds you name he can summon it.

    Both parties in marriage had to be adults only. They couldn't marry more then one person at a time. For the first 500 years in Rome divorce was not heard of. If you were a male you would have to be 14 years old, if you were a female would have to be 12 years old in order to get married. The male or the female could not be closely related. If he or she happened to fall in love with a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th cousin or a sister's husband's brother too bad!! On the night before the wedding day, the bride- to- be gave away a bulla ( special jewelry ) to her father and her toys to the rest of the family members. The married couple would exchanged wedding rings worn on their left hands and wedding cake was served following the dinner, two traditions that still continue today.

  62. I choosed anceint Egypt women it fastinated me

    Did you know in ancien Egypt, women were not equal with men, but they had many rights, considerably more rights than did women in other ancient civilizations.

    One of their rights was the right to decide if they wished to marry or not. If a man asked a woman to marry him, she could say no. A woman in ancient Egypt could not be forced into marriage. Those who did marry usually married quite young, around age 12-14. Wow thats how old I am sweet

    One of the biggest rights a woman had was the right of divorce. If a woman was unhappy with her marriage, she could get a divorce, and then remarry someone else or remain single.

    If any woman broke the law, she had go to court and defend herself from the charge, just like everyone else.

  76. I chose mummies for my assignment and the best way the Egyptian people knew how to preserve dead bodies is to mummify the dead bodies. The poor Egyption people had an advantage on mummifying the dead bodies because they naturally turned dead bodies into mummies.The reason I had said they had an advantage was because wealthy Egyptions went to professional mummy makers and had probably had to pay a lot of money just to preserve a dead body.

The nobles were furious with what King John was doing. But, figured out he was breaking the law, and that they could do something about it. King John promised he would do better and lowered the taxes for the nobles. Well, two weeks later the taxes are up again. This time all the nobles confronted him and made him sign the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta is a parchament that lists people's rights, lots of them laws. The King was not happy about it, but was smart and knew that he would lose his army if he didn't sign the Magna Carta. So he did.

  103. I chose Sparta because i play a game called 'Glory of Sparta'

    The people in sparta are very Fierce, and proud. In sparta the goal was to become a very strong warrior. Also in sparta, boys at the age of 7 were taken away and sent to live in the barracks, a cruel life. While girls stayed at home but they still went to school to only learn to fight. During training they got little food, so they were taught to STEAL food instead. Sparta is a very war pushed placed to live in.

  110. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, even in Ancient Rome. People of the lower class ate Breads (sometimes dipped in wine), and water. People of the upper class ate Freshly cut meat (such as fish), Fruits, Veggies, And bread. Also the bread could be covered with honey for extra sweetness. I guess they didn't eat Fruit Loops or Poptarts.
