Alexander the Great


Alexander the Great was truly the greatest conqueror of all time. By the time he was 25, he had The king/leader/conqueror of Macedonia, Greece, Asia Minor, and Egypt. These victories were not won by armies, while he sat on a throne. He commanded his armies and was the battlefield in most of his major battles. When he was young, he was educated by Aristotle. he inherited the kingdom of Macedonia, and was not defeated while gaining the rest. He lead his army over 11,000 miles, and defeated and founded over 70 cities (including one named after his horse, Bucephalas). These spanned over 3 continents. He was an incredibly diplomatic man, and encouraged the continuation of local culture in places that he conquered. He even went as far as to change his lifestyle so he could better relate to the people around the world that he ruled. He fought for about 13 years straight, and his soldiers followed him all but one time. This proves what a good leader he was, if his soldiers are that loyal. He is a truly extraordinary man and ruler.

Mohenjo-Daro


Mohenjo-Daro was an ancient civilization based around the Indus River. It was located in modern day Pakistan, and was one of the most technologically advanced civilizations of all time. In 3000 BC, they had already invented a sewer system as a way to get waste out of the city and flushable toilets. This is an amazing feat on its own, not to mention the time period. They had the stability to experiment and invent these incredible technologies because they had trading opportunities from all over the world. This is proven by small stones stamped in their language, found in Greece. This is remarkable because of the fact that Greece was across one of the harshest place on Earth, the Iranian Plato. The land was extremely barren, and the water had a high saltwater concentration. At one point in the 2nd millennium, Mohenjo-Daro vanished off the face of the Earth. After a certain point, there was nothing rebuilt in the cities, and no archeological remains. Some of the theories of why this nation disappeared are earthquakes, sickness, spread of disease, and breakdown of trade. They go to show... don't think your on top of the world, or you'll be knocked off of the world.

Two Ancient Roman Events



















The Burning of Rome-
The burning of Rome was one of the most tragic events in the history of Christianity. The true story is this: in the merchant area of Rome, a fire started. This wouldn't have been a huge problem in modern times, but all of the buildings were made out of wood at that point in time. This made the fire spread, burning down 70% of Rome in 7 days. Nero, the current emperor, was in the middle of a rumor. The rumor was that he had started that fire and then run away to watch the city burn. This is obviously totally ridiculous, but in order to draw the attention away from himself, he made the Romans believe that the Christians were at fault for starting the fire. He then fed every single Christian he could lay his hands on to lions in front of the rest of Rome.



The Destruction of Pompeii-
August 24th, 79-- the day the gods took revenge on Pompeii. Mt. Vesuvius blew up onto Pompeii, essentially destroying the city and almost all inhabitants. in the 1800's, archeologists found the 'Lost City of Pompeii' and let an 18 year search for remains. There were originally over 5000 people in the city. There have been over 300 bodies found. As said today in Western Civ, each person found is a story. Pompeii has been found, but those people were lost.

Who? Ares


Ares is the most violent god of all. He is the god of war (shocker there) and is often pictured with a sword dripping with blood. His seat at Mt. Olympus is supposedly covered in human skin. He is the son of Zeus, therefore, he is an immortal. Despite this fact, he was almost killed three times; once by Heracles, another by two giants stuffing him in a jar, and a third by another hero in war. Without Zeus saving him, he would have been dead. he is supposed to be extremely handsome, but also have cruelness in his features. His equal in Roman mythology is Mars.

Mythology has shaped out whole culture, and is still effecting the way we think of creation, Earth, and ourselves. The ancient civilizations that passed stories on from mouth to ear have greatly influenced our story telling abilities in ways we don't even realize. These stories are the building blocks of our society, and learning about mythology helps us to build the future.
My favorite goddess by far is Athena. She is the goddess of wisdom and of war. She is described as being a great beauty, but she prefers to go for knowledge and power than looks alone. She is the namesake of the city of Athens, in which she won a
