//**__THE PLOW-__**// The plow, is a lever which left the soil, and it is among the first applications of the principle of the lever. Browski said "give me a plow and i will feed the Earth." (which means feed the people.)

//**__The wheel the cart the mill and the pulley-__**// The wheel is found for the first time before the 3,000 B.C. It was first used for soild wooden wheels attached to an older sleigh for pulling loads which there by is convered into a cart. Then the wheel and the axel becomes the double root from which invention grows. At about the time Joshua stormed Jerico, say 1,400 b.c. the mechanical engineers of summer and assyria turned the wheel into a pulley to draw water.

__//**Specialization of Labor**//__ The Ancient Mesopotamia's sustained themselves by farming and using specialization labor. In "The Bulls of Heaven" chapter in The Epic of Gilgamesh distributes the parts of the bull which he gives to different specialized workers, artisans and tradesmen.

__//**Products Made**//__ The Standard Ur and the Epic Gilgamesh showed us that the ancient Mesopotamia's sustained themselves with a complex economy built upon farming, craft production and trade. There were specialized farm workers to raise crops and to herd different animals. The most powerful invention was the plow in all of agriculture.

__//**The Nile River**//__ About 2,000 years ago people setteled along The Nile River Valley in North Africa. The Nile River flows through a desert. The Nile River is the worlds longest river, it flows 4,000 miles from the mountains of East Africa. It passes through Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt. The Nile River then goes into the Mediterranean Sea.

__//**Why the Nile River was important**//__. The Nile was important to the egyptians because when the river would become full and the plains were all flooded, a great number of lilies would grow which were called lotus. They then used lotuses to cut with a sickel (curved knifes.) Then they would pound that, and make loaves baked with fire. Then pull up the loaves from the papyrus which grows every year, the upper pars of it they cut off and turn to make papyrus scrolls. Egypt was the gift of the Nile, so the nile gave egypt.

//__**The Meditterean sea**__// Sailing was such an important part of the life and culture of Greece because some places they couldnt grow crops like for example lets say someone couldn't grow grapes or they just couldn't grow enough, they then would travel to trade something that is at there town for another thing that isn't in there town. Pottery had the role of storeng and protecting food like wine or grain on long trips. People would also trade stuff for pottery so they could use it for food storeing or protecting there food. People also would have used the pottery for artwork.

Also they used the hill because if it was all one level people would not be able to see because people would be blocking others. Therefore, the hill helps to see.

//__**Samos**__// Around 540 B.C. a tyrant named Polycrates came to rule the island city-state of Samos. They need to solve the problem of connecting the city-state of Samos with a mountain spring on the other side of Mount Castro. Eupalinos, the engineer of Polycrates, came up with the idea of tunneling under Mount Castro. Tunnels were dug on opposite sides of each other. They had to be at the same horizontal and vertical. They used geometry to figure out where to put the two opposing tunnels. The two tunnels met with 24 inches of each difference from each other. This was a discrepancy of less than 1/8 of 1% of the tunnel’s 3,500 foot length.

__//**Europe caption**//__ The land features of Europe is that Fishing especially plentiful in the North Atlantic, where fishing has been an important industry since Europe's earliest history. The climate of Europe is mainly temperate or mild because winds bring warm air from currents in the Atlantic Ocean. Europe is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the Medditerrean Sea, the North Sea, and the Baltic Sea. The type of body water that criss-crosses Europe was that it was warm. The thing that affects the water so much is the winds warm air from currents in the Atlantic Ocean causing temperatures to get warmer. (Our world)
