Final post 10
I learned a lot of things this semester. Out off all the topics we learned the thing i most got out of this course is how to find very good sources very quickly and easily. I understand how important it is to have valid sources and that if you dont your entire argument can fall apart. I also learned about a lot new websites to use as sources that i had never used before like infotrac and bbc. That is the most memorable thing i got out of this course

Leonardo Davincci bes represents the idea of the renaissance man.The illegitimate son of a 25-year-old notary, Ser Piero, and a peasant girl, Caterina, Leonardo was born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy, just outside Florence. His father took custody of the little fellow shortly after his birth, while his mother married someone else and moved to a neighboring town. They kept on having kids, although not with each other, and they eventually supplied him with a total of 17 half sisters and brothers (http://www.mos.org/leonardo/bio.html).
Leoonardo was a great artist and inventor. Many of his paintings are still world famous such as his classic painting, the mona lisa. He was also the first person to dream up certain invention that were way ahead of his time. In his studies they have found drawing of tanks and airplanes. Leonardo was the spitting image of the Renaissance and whenever i think of who made the biggest contribution to that time period i will always think of him.

The style of Romanesque and Gothic Cathedrals varies grealty. Romanesque Cathedrals were built more like massive forts or castles. They were able to defend themselves better because they were built in a period accustomed to a lot of war. There were towers with arrow slits and baracaded doors. Cathedrals were able to defend themselves.
Gothic Cathedrals were more artsy and were not very strong. They had glass windows and since there were not many wars people did not need to use them to defend themselves. These Cathedrals were much more pretty.

The black death stared when diseased rats aboard trade ships first entered
Europe. These rats were infected with disease fleas. When the ships landed the rats would run thought the town and by trade and travel quickly infected all of Europe. This meant extreme disease for all of Europe. The black death appears as massive black bruises and zits all over the body. It causes the victim extreme pain and exhaustion. if i were a midevel physician i would first clean the body and get all the fleas off of the person and shave their heads. Then i would pop the zits and drain all the infected puss out of the body. Then i would help sterilize the open wounds and hope that the body can remain disease free long enough to fully heal. If a plague like this were to hit contemporary america would first go to hospitals but our doctors and scientist would quickly be able to find a cure and we would be able to fight the spread by limiting our travel.

These Crusade are unjust! We have had control over Jerusalem first and these English dogs have no reason to invade us. This is our land and i would like other countries to help us destroy these English armies!
If the English offered to compromise i would be more than willing to oblige. Our religions are very similar and we would allow Christian pilgrims to worship in our holy city unharmed. However if they try to start a war than we shall finish it.
Sincerely,
Salidin.

“Is it fair to say the United States is the modern day equivalent of the Roman Empire?”
The United States is the modern day equivalent of the Roman Empire. The United states and the Roman Empire had many similar issues such as inflation, starvation, and unemployment.
Both the United States and the Roman empire needed money. As you can see in this article http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/hr.asp?fpVname=AL_BN&ref_pge=gal&b_pge=1 that the US relies on Federal funding. The United States, however is in a massive debt already to China and simply does not have enough money to pay for everything to function as well as it could. As a result the United States prints out more money and inflation occurs. The romans had this problem as well. Whenever the romans needed more money the simply made more coins. Then inflation occurred and the romans money became almost worthless as well.
The romans and the Americans also struggled with their farms. Almost all of our food comes from farms. In this article you can read about a farmer expanding his farm http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/hr.asp?fpVname=AL_AS&ref_pge=gal&b_pge=1. Farmers in the United States are the core to our civilization and yet we disregard them so highly. Without farms we could not survive but yet we over tax them and a result drive farms out of business. This results in a lack of food and people go hungrier easier. People cant afford to buy healthy food and turn to less healthy alternatists such as cheep McDonald food. The Romans also had a lack of food. Rome had these massive armies that needed to eat constantly. As a result Rome gave almost all of their food to them and many of their civiliians went hungry. Both Rome and the United states struggle to keep all of their citizens fully fed and healthy.
Romans and Americans also struggled with unemployment and jobs. As you can see from this article America has many unemployed workers. http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/hr.asp?fpVname=AL_OAN&ref_pge=gal&b_pge=1 Ever since the stock market crashed in the US mainly Americans don't have jobs. Rome's main job was a solder. The problem was after you became a soldier and you returned to your land you would see that there would be somebody new living there since you were away and could not deffend your property. This resulted in many homeless people. Both the Romans and the Americans sufferd from unemployed homeless people.
The united states and rome had to deal with many similiar problems such as inflation, starvation, and unemployment. Because each of our great civilizations have similar issues i agree that it would be fare to classify them as the modern day equivalent of the Roman Empire.

The ancient Greeks and Romans had very different views on the afterlife. They both believed there was life after death but they had many different theories on what it was like.
The ancient Greek views on the afterlife were very unique. There underworld, our version of hell, was deep beneath the earth where hades and his wife reined over all the damned people. The underworld was a very awful place. The greeks beleived that when you died your sould left the body as a little breath.
The Egyptians were very diffrent. If an Egyptian died they would burry them with all of their possessions in a massive tomb. They would remove all the organs and put them in jars becuase the beleived they were weighing the body down. Then the sould would enter a room and if the dead persons soul's hear is lighter than a feather they got into heaven but if it wasnt they had to keep trying before they could enter heaven.

The agriculture revolution helped develop cities. Since people did not have to follow animals everywhere to hunt. People were able to create housing and then more people would settle in one are around the farms. All of these farms opened up jobs and a stable way of living devolved. People could grow their own food themselves and civilizations started to form.

Agriculture System Crashed!
Due to some major national disasters the agriculture system has crashed! Massive flooding and hurricanes have wiped out all of our farms. There is a sever famine and people are raiding for food. Supermarkets have been raided and there is almost no food left. People are attempting to restart farms but the ground is so soaked nothing will grow. There are many riots and the president has gone into hiding. Since there is also no corn many other products that involve corn are also gone.
Society is officially borken down. People are starting to form tribes and roam the land looking for certain types of food. Yes we have indeed gone back to the old days of hunter gather type lifestyles. If you have food i recommend you hide it as best you can because people will find it. These are indeed dark times for all of the World.
