1. Describe the geography of your civilization. The Andes are a mountain range in South America. The mountain range is the second highest in the world, and the longest mountain range (4,500 miles long) in the world running from Colombia to Chile. They comprise much of the western coast of south america and the the nations within the andes are Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. 2. When did your civilization begin?

As we know, the voyage of Christopher Columbus in 1492 implied a big change in the American Continent. But, during thousands of years preceding European contact, the Native American people developed inventive and creative cultures in the North and the South. These Native American persons are commonly called “American Indians” due to the fact that the word "Indian" was an invention of Christopher Columbus, who erroneously thought that he had arrived in the East Indies. In this essay, we are going…

fill with sand on right said to a height of 7 inches. Add water to the left side of the tub to total 4 inches in height. Get a foam plate and cut in half, use this to make small waves for 30 seconds. Record the new height of the sand mound. Recreate the sand mound to a height of 7 inches. Repeat steps 3-5 increasing the wave intensity each time for a total of 4…

The three major Native American empires between 500 AD and 1500 AD were the Mayas and Aztecs in Central America and Incas in South America. There were also several smaller Native American tribes in North America that flourished during this time period. These smaller Native American tribes were linked together by culture and economics. This essay will discuss the complexities surrounding these smaller Native American tribes in North America as well as summarize the empires of the Mayas, Aztecs…

One of the clearest distinctions among Native Americans is between the natives of North America vs. the natives of South America. In North America, though certain groups like the Hopi, Zuni, and Mound Builders formed large cities (Foner, 6), and some other groups had at least semi-permanent settlements, these were nothing to compare with the immense civilizations of South America. The largest Native American community North America was the city of Cahokia, which reached between 10,000 and 30,000…

"The books lay like great mounds of fishes left to dry. The men danced and slipped and fell over them. Titles glittered their golden eyes, falling, gone." (Fahrenheit 451.) The firefighters had no choice but to burn the books, or else they would get in trouble with the government…

because we talked about why the ceremonial mound had not been dug up yet and if it is a good decision to let all that history still lay there untouched. I feel like the main message to take away from the exhibit was to learn about the creation of the Terra Cotta Warriors and to showcase their findings. It gives people who come to the exhibit knew knowledge of a time that is barely known about. It also gives a discussion topic as to why the ceremonial mound had not been excavated on yet. The…

By choosing a creature that many of the poet’s readers believed were real animals, the Beowulf poet created a more tangible consequence to the looting of pagan burial mounds, a practice that was equally relevant to the Beowulf poet’s audience. The use of the dragon in Beowulf as a realistic threat makes the creature function as a symbol of human greed and possibly as a practical repercussion to the practice of looting…

objective of the Haniwa “is thought that this practice in Japan took the place of the ancient Chinese custom of burying servants and goods with the dead ruler” perhaps so they were able to protect the tomb and the spirits of those buried beneath the mound in the after life. The resemblance of the figures of the Haniwa and that of the Dogu have key differences, however there are similarities are striking enough that they should not go unnoticed. To revisit the similarities, the Haniwa and the…

Baseball might be a complicated sport with a lot of rules and a lot of players; some people might even call it boring. But to me is a sport full of action and really tough plays where most of the action takes place at the home plate. This is because here stands the batter waiting anxiously for the pitcher to deliver the pitch, so he can try to hit it. In television those professional players make it seem very easy to hit the ball and do home runs, yet in real life a person can have some trouble…
