Revision as of 03:14, February 4, 2009
, 03:14, February 4, 2009hope i'm doing this right
ReneeStJ work in progress
1. What do you hope to accomplish with this course?
I hope to learn about lots but especially ancient greece, rome, and the reformation.
2. Look at the estimated dates in the three tables. Pick any one that you dispute, or are most interested in, and discuss it briefly.
I find the creation of adam and eve 3700-4004 B.C. most interesting. I'd like to learn more about how we come up with different dates when the Bible gives us how long each of Jesus' ancestors lived.
3. Write about any aspect of Hammurabi's Code, such as its similarity or differences with the Ten Commandments, or its role in making the society (which society was it?) a success.
Hammurabi's code helped bring order to Babylon, but unlike the Ten Commandments it had hundreds of laws. I think this would make it much harder for average people to understand.
4. List the major ancient empires from the lecture in approximate chronological order, and identify which one you like best, and why.
The Mesopotamian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Chaldean, and Persian were the major empires. I find the Persian most interesting because they went to war with Greece several times so other sources back up the Biblical history!
5. Current Events Question: What controversy today can be traced back in origin to something in this week's lecture, such as current Middle East conflicts?
The anger between many Jewish and Arab people goes back to the different sons of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael.
6. Describe the three kingdoms of ancient Egypt, and mention what you like most about the culture or achievements of ancient Egypt.
The Old Kingdom built the pyramids, the Middle Kingdom worked on culture, while the New Kingdom expanded its land. I find it most interesting that the Egyptians managed to make such large and accurate structures so long ago, and such beautiful cities.
H3. Pick out any mystery about the lecture this week (such as the history of marriage or the construction of the pyramids) and suggest an explanation for it. Other mysteries are at: http://www.conservapedia.com/Essay:Greatest_Mysteries_of_World_History
H4. Write about anything in the lecture.
