My favorite Civilization to learn about was the INDUS VALLEY! Why? Because they seemed so peaceful... sigh. If only the world was like that now. Their peacefulness is why they were so interesting. Almost all of the civilizations we studied were full of war, which makes the Indus Valley people so unique. If I were to live with them, I think... I would have a hard time because 1) NO AIR CONDITIONING and 2) I am used to not having to find my own food and sometimes having a shortage of it. I think that being one of them would be an adventure. I think the tool that the people of the Indus Valley might find the most helpful would not be a computer, not a phone, not air conditioning, but the knowledge of electricity and its properties. Knowledge is a tool like some sappy weird saying once said: With the tool of knowledge of electricity and its properties, the people of the Indus Valley would have a much better time living. I mean, where would we be now if it wasn't for electricity? They would have lights, maybe electric heaters, and if they knew about it then, maybe they could develop things that we don't have now because it takes time to figure things out, and if they had the knowledge back then, they could figure things out that would take LOADS of time BEFORE we existed, so our current things that use electricity would probably be much more developed. If you know what I mean. Now I will leave you alone so you can figure out how to make a time machine to teach the people of the Indus Valley about electricity. See ya when you get back!
Sappy...great word choice!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with completely agree with you that since the Indus valley was so peaceful it would be great to live like them now. It would be very peacefull. However I think the babylonian civilization was the most important because they set so many foundations like multiplication tables. But they had a lot of war in their lifestyle and that the Indus Valley was able to advance without war.
