Status Updates From The History of the World in...

Moved fron super ancient and vague to less ancient and less vague history *cheers* AD is in sight

I have to go back & keep re-reading pages.

Black Death in Europe & China leads to huge social & economic changes.. Shortage of labor & increase of available lands, increase bargaining power of peasant workers & cause uprisings. Interesting about Ming Dynasty-more than fine creators of priceless vases.

Still have to read slow to digest. The flow jumps around.

The Vikings settle down.

Ok now I may finally understand the Shi-ite, Sunnis conflict. (Pg 54-55) Well in a bite size way at least.) :)

Discovering an ancient civilization is on my bucket list. I cannot believe the amount of inscriptions we have that haven't been translated. There's so much mystery about the first 6,000 years of the earth. So many things had to have happened and we have no idea. Another reason the Bible is such a great source of knowledge. <3

Greece & birth of Democracy.

Judeans- later to become the Jewish people and than on to birth of Christianity.

10 Lost Tribes of Israel.

Hittite Empire 1450 BC arose.By 1380 BC encompassed Syria almost to Canaan (modern Israel). 1st people to produce Iron on large scale, using for weapons & tools, thus initiating the Iron Age.
