Unit 6: My Civilization

          My civilization will be called Terribilis Mundi (Latin for "awesome world"). My civilization will be located in the northern parts of Brazil. There will be three main cities with one Capital, called Vallis, which will be invetween the other two major cities Brenno (to the West) and Draco (to the East). Their will be weekly parties and, we will be a very social population. Our views will be based around friendship and fun.


          Our religion will be Roman Chatholic. Everyone will be required to attend mass on Sunday mornings. After mass, there will be parties that will be thrown by the churches at the city/town centers. The parties will be around lunch time and there will be much food .There will be one main church for everyone to go to located by the city/town centers. 
          The government will be a Monarchy, with me being King. There will be a council of wise men underneath me to help with the laws and economy. The laws would be the Ten Commandments and that you must attend mass on Sundays. The laws will be written in the city/town centers. There will be prisons in the cities. There will be a police force in the cities and towns.

           In school kids will have to take normall elementary classes till 5th grade. In these years they will learn the correct way to write, spell, and speek along with basic math, science, and history skills. After fifth grade students will need to choose a career catagory for their futures. They will then be taking classes based on what they had chosen. Theses classes will still teach you about a wide range of things. Once you are a junior your classes will then be based on certain careers that the individual will take.
           Our art will be are building structures and how our cities will be organized. Our buildings will be advanced structures with attraction and art put into them. In Draco, there will be buildings on water with many beautiful bridges reaching from section to section of the city. The engineers (artist) that design these structures will be selected by my council.

  
             
          Our cities will be fed by the food from are farms in the smaller towns and from the "food pastures"  where herds of animals will be raised and killed for their meat. These places will be well protected and will be businesses instead of individuals owning their own farming land. These fields will be huge and have many different types of  crops. Coffee, corn, rice, wheat,  soybeans,  and sugarcane will be our main crops.
          How Terribilis Mundi will be started is that I will find new oil in Northern Brazil and from the oil I will gain much money. From my riches I will buy the land. After acquiring the land I will find men and woman to bring into my land from English speeding countries. I will higher my council. To start building my cities I will higher engineers and workers to build the main part of the city around the centers and all the small towns for my civilians to live at until the future.
          If a archeologist discovered Terribilis Mundi 5000 years from now they would find a civilization like no other. They would see our cities of great complexity and creativity. They would find our huge churches and our city/town centers. If they found records they would see that we were very much into knowledge and control. They would learn about my role in the creation and how Terribilis Mundi was created. they would also learn about my council of wise men to help me with my decision making.

Unit 6 Post 2

The Chinese agriculture was much more organized and had more of a system. They had better houses to live in. They also had slaughter houses for their animals. The Chinese were able to have more crops and made more objects with their crops then the Neolithic people. The Chinese were able to have larger amounts of food from their crops and their slaughter houses.

Unit 6 Post 1

A. Men had jobs for collecting food and protecting the settlements which made them play a more dominant role in their societies. Men also did most of the farming and herding of animals. Woman, while men were usually away from their homes, would be at home or in the settlement taking care of the kids, weaving cloth, turning milk into cheese, and other jobs that required labor in one place.
B. The Neolithic people farming to produce larger amount of food, creating houses out of dried mud, creating new jobs, men/woman having certain jobs, the creation of classes, and the knowledge of how to use writing to keep information like records were all changes in the Neolithic Revolution that helped develope cities.
C. I think agriculture will keep playing a major role in the future because cities need a large amount of food for all their civilians and I think more cities and systemic agriculter developed more because of "collective learning", also, because more humans were traveling to new areas and shared their information.
