The Legend of Gilgamesh

Gilglamesh was half human and half god. His story is that he was thinking and he was very bored, so the gods sent to him a friend and at first he had a bad impression but after they became very friends and they travel to many different countries. 

Gods

 Tiamat: The Primordial Dragon Goddess of Creative Chaos. -She lived hyappily in the salt water below the mists of time, joined by APSU, the wettest Water God ever

Ishtar: She's a fiesty no-nonsense Goddes and also the Evening Star with eight points. All of them good. Extremely popular.

Enik:Highly-sexed beer-loving Sumerian Creator God. -He was the first Sumerian deity to discover sex ( while he was in his bath ).

Marduk: Top Babylonian deity, Fertility God and holy leader. -As the boss of Bbabylon and custodian of the Tablets of Density ( see me ) MARDUK was definitely a force to be reckoned with. Until he was stolen by Assyrians causing a lot of aggravation with failed hasrvests and war.  

 

Lascaux and Altamira

Hi :), i am going to talk about Lascaux and Altamira caves, is interesting to talk about this, because this has occurred many hundreds of years before and discover how they express themselves now is fantastic and if we are attentive, we can learn many different and new things that we can never imagine.  

Lascaux is the setting of a complex of caves in southwestern France famous for its Paleolithic cave paintings. The original caves are located near the village of Montignac, in the department of Dordogne. They contain some of the best-known Upper Paleolithic art. These paintings are estimated to be 17,300 years old. With the advent of the Upper Paleolithic period from 40,000 BCE, coinciding with the replacement of Neanderthal Man with "modern" versions of Homo sapiens, prehistoric art takes a massive leap forward, as exemplified by the cave painting of western Europe.

The Upper Paleolithic cave complex at Altamira in northern Spain, not far from the village of Antillana del Mar in Cantabria,  is famous for its vivid rock art, featuring drawings and multi-coloured cave painting of wild animals and human hands, leading to its nickname as the "Sistine Chapel of Stone Age art". 

Now, i am going to paste some images of Lascaux:

I search for images and i found one that is interesting, they say that they found a smiley in a rock:

Prehistoric art

Hi,

Today i am going to talk about the Prehistoric art, i know that the time fllows and more in the high school but on the last unit we only had to study maps because it was Geography, but now we have just started a new unit and the work we have to do is writting so here we are. It's not going to be easy but slowlly i'm sure that is is going to be better and easier :) 

Prehistoric art.

Archeologist have identified four basic types of Stone Age art, that are:

• Petroglyphs- Cupules, rock carvings and engravings
• Pictographs- Pictorial imagery, ideomorphs, ideograms pr symbols 
• Cave painting and drawings.
• Prehistoric sculpture- small totemic statuettes known as Venus Figuries, various forms of zoomorphic and therianthropic ivory caving and relief sculptures.

 And megalithic art that consist of the arragements of stones.

Prehistoric cave art isn't realy an art movement

The volga river

                        The Volga River

• The Volga River is the longest river of Europe. It flows throughcentral Russia and it´s the national river of it`´. Eleven of the twenty largest cities of Russia, including the capital, Moscow, are situated in the Volga's drainage basin. Some of the largest reservoirs in the world can be found along the Volga. The river has a symbolic meaning in Russian culture and is often referred to as Volga-Matushka (Mother Volga) in Russian literature and folklore. It belongs to the closed basin of the Caspian Sea. Rising in the Valdai Hills 225 meters above the sea level northwest of Moscow and about 320 kilimeters south-east Saint Petersburg, the Volga heads east past Lake Sterzh, Tver, Dubna, Rybinsk, Yaroslavl, Nizhny Novgorod, and Kazan. From there it turns south, flows past Ulyanovsk, Tolyatti, Samara, Saratov and Volgograd, and discharges into the Caspian Sea below Astrakhan at 28 meters below sea level. At its most strategic point, it bends towards the Don.

Haiti´s erthquake

                         2010 Haiti erthquake


The 2010 Haiti earthquake was a catastrophic magnitude 7.0 M earthquake, with an epicenter near the town of Léogâne (Ouest Departament), approximately 25 km (16 miles) west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti´s  capital. The earthquake occurred at 16:53 local time (21:53 UTC) on Tuesday, 12 January 2010.
The earthquake caused major damage in Port-au-Prince, Jacmel and other settlements in the region. Many notable landmark buildings were significantly damaged or destroyed, including the Presidential Place, the National Assembly building, the Port-au-Prince Cathedral, and the main jail. Among those killed were Archbishop of Port-au-Prince Joseph Serge Miot and opposition leader Micha Gaillard.The headquarters of the United Nations Stabilization in Haiti (MINUSTAH), located in the capital, collapsed, killing many, including the Mission's Chief, Hédi Annabi.
Many countries responded to appeals for humanitarian aid, pledging funds and dispatching rescue and medical teams, engineers and support personnel. Communication systems, air, land, and sea transport facilities, hospitals, and electrical networks had been damaged by the earthquake, which hampered rescue and aid efforts; confusion over who was in charge, air traffic congestion, and problems with prioritisation of flights further complicated early relief work. Port-au-Prince's morgues were overwhelmed with tens of thousands of bodies. These had to be buried in mass graves. As rescues tailed off, supplies, medical care and sanitation became priorities. Delays in aid distribution led to angry appeals from aid workers and survivors, and looting and sporadic violence were observed. On 22 January the United Nations noted that the emergency phase of the relief operation was drawing to a close, and on the following day the Haitian government officially called off the search for survivors.

Here we can see Haiti´s map:

Here we can see how was Haiti before the earthquake:

Unit 2: relief

Definition :

CRUST: Is the surface. it is a thin, solid layer made of rock.

MANTLE: Is the intermediate layer

CORE: Is the deepest layer

MAGMA: Is molten rock

What temperature can be reached in the core of the earth?
4.500ºc.

 Who was Alfred Wegner? What is Pangea?
Its the scientist that outlined the continental drift theory
pagnea is a giant land mass/

 Describe the evolution of pagnea and explain the relationship between tectonic plates and earthquakes.
The pagnea broke uu, forming the continents. This contienents are fixed, but they are moving
because the crust ( the art´s layer wehere we live ) is divided into several plates, called tectonic plates.

How many continents do we have on planet Earth? Paste a map of the world with the name of the continents.
We have 6. EUROPE, ASIA, AMERICA, ASIA, ANTARTICA and OCEANIA.

Name the most important oceans of the world.
THE PACIFIC OCEAN, THE INDIAN OCEAN, THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, THE ARTIC OCEAN and  THE SOUTHERN OCEAN.

The relief is the result of the internal forces of the earth and external agents.Write an example of the action of the internal forces. Name the external agents that cause the erosion and modeling of the Earth´s relief.

The relief is the result of the internal forces of the earth ( plate movements, volcanoes, earthquakes... etc. ) and external agents ( rain, wind, temperatures, rivers, groundwhater... etc.) 

The internal forces are rosponsible for the origin and the elevation of topographic and external agents cause the erosions and modelin of the earth´s reliefe.
