The Sumerians worshiped idols.

These people built a Ziggurat in order to reach heaven.

God did not like it that they were self-sufficient in their attitudes. They were proud. So God confused their speech and dispersed the people.

Man could no longer clearly communicate. Today 5,000 different languages exist.

People moved to their own areas. Because of
this, distinct genetic differences started to appear: skin color, eye
color and shape, noses, etc. Before long, races of
people would develop.

An amazing monument made by man is called Stonehenge.

Each rock piece is about 28
tons. They are in the shape of
a circle

It is in England. The amazing mystery is how men could have moved
rocks of that size without modern-day
equipment! It is believe that some of the rocks were carried from as
far away as 300 miles!

Another interesting fact is the placement of the rocks. They are in connection to the rising and
setting of the sun. They were positioned to measure the moon and seasons as well.

There are many of these types of Stone formations around the world, but none as impressive as this one!

They may have been used as meeting places, worship or to study the stars. All of them reflect
that man was pretty smart.

If you visit England today, you can still see Stonehenge. It was built over 4,000 year ago. It
would be neat to touch something almost as old as Noah’s ark!

In the early days of Egypt, the land was divided between
what was called Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt
![Page 16: Ancient history week 2a](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547122c3b4af9fc30a8b4a02/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Upper Egypt was in the south along the Nile River and was higher land. Lower Egypt was near where the Nile River spills into the Mediterranean Sea.

Upper Egyptians were artistic and grew grain. Their symbol was the sedge plant and they worshiped the vulture goddess.

The Lower Egyptians were good with tools and buildings. Their symbol was the bee and they
worshiped the cobra goddess.

The Minoans lived on an island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. They are also called the Cretans.
![Page 20: Ancient history week 2a](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051411/547122c3b4af9fc30a8b4a02/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
They were quite advanced. They had a huge palace
covered in frescoes and had ivory bathtubs with toilets. They worshiped many gods.

These people flourished for only about 800 years. We do not know why they came to a sudden halt. There was a terrible volcano on a nearby island that may explain why they disappeared from history. No one knows for sure

A man, many years later by the name of Plato, wrote about a city who was so wicked that it sunk. He may have used these people for the basis of his story. (Atlantis)

Greek civilization was shaped by much of this culture….even the sport of bull leaping!
