Many different groups of people settled Rome, but the Latins were the first. They settled on the banks of the Tiber. The Etruscans were the people who were from the north central park of the land and they settled Rome. Along with those people the Greeks also settled Rome and Romans had borrowed many things and beliefs from the Greeks as well. The Tiber river was very important to Romans. Many streams flowed into it. The seventh and last king of Rome was Lucius Tarquinius. Tarquin seized power as an old school tyrant. If I'm understanding this story, Tarquins father dies and his wife ( whos not his mom) daughters marries two sons and one was Tarquin. The daughter he didn't marry kills her husband and Tarquins wife so she can have him all to herself. Tuillia influences him to seize power of her own father and does. Tarquin  throws her father into the streets because he objects this. He was then assassinated and tarquin was the ruler. Later on Tarquin has a son who got drunk and tried to rape a lady, she refuses and he threatened to kill her, she goes with the blackmail and later on tells her family and commits suicide. Tarquins family was expelled from Rome because the city objected what happened. Because of Tarquins horrible ruling, no one ever wanted a king to rule in Rome again. The Rule of kings was therefore replaced by two consuls which are elected officials and patricians could only be these rulers. The plebeians were 98% of the population and threatened the roles of the patricians. Rome has 3 branches of government like the U.S. Rome won the first Punic war but there were 3 long Punic wars. Julius Ceaser was a great ruler but also a great threat to some, he did so much for Rome but was assassinated.

COVID-19 has surely brought a change to the entire world! Students and teachers are facing new challenges such as, being more independent with work, having more work, not being able to get feedback, having to stress over the amount of work someone gives us or we have to do etc. Cyber school is different to some classes, especially class of 2020, but most likely not teachers who have worked at JC a while. From what I've been told, there have been cyber days when we've had off school for snow, but not nearly as long of a break like this. Students have new responsibilities like waking up at a decent time so they don't ruin their sleep schedule, getting all their work done inn a good bout of time so they aren't stressed, not plagiarizing or cheating so they don't go against the honor pledge etc. Students really need to get done time management. Teachers have new responsibilities and goals too like giving enough work where they are able to grade it in a decent time, actu

The Parthenon:   The Pantheon is supposedly one of the most important buildings of classical Greece. The Pantheon was made based of the Doric order, which was a popular way to make buildings in Ancient Greece. The Parthenon was a building dedicated to the goddess of Athens, Athena. Before that it was a former Athenian Acropolis. As the Athenian empire was at its peak in 447 BCE that's when the construction started on this building. Some of the design of this building also belongs to the Ionic order. The Ionic order: People identified the Ionic order by its vaulted capital. There are some similarities between the Doric design and the Ionic design such that The cushion placed on top of the column is shaped like the Doric order. In Ionic order, columns are very narrow with shallow flutes that do not make a sharp edge, but have a flat band between them.

From Prehistory to Civilization

Before civilizations in the prehistoric era,   200,000 years ago a human species emerged into central Africa. the earliest prehistoric age is the Paleolithic age also known as the goldstone age. There was also the neolithic age know as the new Stone Age. During the prehistoric are there was the agricultural revolution. During this time villagers were polytheistic, populations grew due to increased ability to produce a surplus of food, status of women was lowered as women were confined to more domestic duties, and the invention of the plow and wheel made it possible to produce enough food for storage. Some modern day countries that are part of the fertile crescent are- turkey, seria and Iraq. Jordan was not ( quiz question). Mesopotamia is home  of the earliest cities. A district knows an Sumer occupied the land between Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Due to irrigation techniques population increased. Better food storage in the cities allowed for diversity in professions. Sumerians invente
