Name of Museum

The Indus River Valley Civilization lasted 800 years, and was located along the Indus River in the area of present-day Pakistan. The Indus River Valley wasn’t able to survive as long as its neighboring river valley, the Chinese River, due to natural catastrophes, and nomadic invasions. The cities that are written in bold were the chief cities of the civilization.“The River Valley Civilization Guide.” 12 Sep. 2011.http://rivervalleycivilizations.com/indus.php.

Like many of the other early civilizations, the Indus River Valley people also had a form of hieroglyphics, or pictograms that they used to keep written history and records. What is special about their hieroglyphics is that, no one has been able to decode their written language. Scholars have tried to crack it for years.

This was an important temple that had a Nileometer that a priest would use to measure to see how much the Nile was flooded. The priest who did this would have total power, and had a mystique by predicting crop yields and determining taxes. Historical records say that every 5 years, the Nile either flooded too much or too little.

Make-up back then was a new type of technology, and its main purpose of use was not for looks, but skin protection. The air was so hot in Egypt that the oils in the makeup kept their skin from drying out.

What is interesting about the Chinese River Valley(s) is that even though there are many very large rivers, only 10% of its land is rich and fertile enough to grow crops. The government of this region was dynastic, and it stayed that way through political growths and changes until 1911. “China Huang-He River Valley (Current Events)2.” Mary Kate Hannon & Jane AnneDarken. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://ehsworldstudiesjackoboice.wikispaces.com/file/view/Yellow-River-Map.jpg/157790107/Yellow-River-Map.jpg&imgrefurl=http://ehsworldstudiesjackoboice.wikispaces.com/China%2B-%2BHuang-He%2BRiver%2BValley%2B(Current%2BEvents)2&usg=__6jbUkcs_arCUnwBC5UapJqniBS4=&h=639&w=722&sz=61&hl=en&start=7&zoom=1&tbnid=_XXx5wGja-hn2M:&tbnh=124&tbnw=140&ei=BPRwTo6rH8eIsgLEyLDsCQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dchinese%2Briver%2Bvalley%2Bmap%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1

The Greeks were the first to record the New testament. This is different from what was usual for their time. Because In their day, most religions, and history was kept only orally, this meant that it was rather easy for it to change over time. Since we know it was written down as it occurred, there wasn’t a discrepancy with it being transferred down generations verbally.

The Roman Coliseum was founded on April 21, 753 B.C by twins Romulus and Remus. It measures 188 m by 156 m and a height of more than 48 meters. It could hole 55,000 people and has at least 80 entrances. It was originally built for only 4 floors. The first three had arched entrances and the last one was rectangular. The Coliseum surprisingly took less that 10 years to build.

Name of Museum

The main god of all the Roman gods is Jupiter, it’s similar to the Greek god Zeus. He was god of the sky and threw lightning bolts when he got mad. The Romans built temples for Jupiter and filled it with treasures. The temple was a sacred and holy place where they would worship him. They also built many statues of him that they worshipped also.

This is a Roman tomb, and the Romans used tombs as a way of record keeping. When you look closely at the tomb, you can see engravings on the top of it. That is their written language, and it appears that they used tombstones as a place to keep some of it.

Selah is very unique in the fact that the country has no taxes. The way our country can do this is because all of the people have the same religion. In replacement of no taxes, all of the people tithe monthly to the church. Anyone who disagrees or has different beliefs is free to go to another country.http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qPQ5WWscW1E/TbXXrC_dUAI/AAAAAAAAEdc/00UM1dGOmbI/s1600/did-god-tell-us-to-tithe.jpg&imgrefurl=http://krestaintheafternoon.blogspot.com/2011/04/giving-up-tithe.html&usg=__A3PNGjXZ6j0ddzp8BYRVT4a_byc=&h=250&w=345&sz=58&hl=en&start=8&zoom=1&tbnid=q_lAkq2utW3yqM:&tbnh=87&tbnw=120&ei=WVuLTovFHoK2sQKD_JmxBA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dtithe%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:*:IE-SearchBox%26nfpr%3D1%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1 3 Oct. 2011.
