As agriculture increased in the fertile Coatzlcoaltl River Valley region of present-day Veracruz, Mexico, some individuals began managing resources and controlling the rich farmland, rising as the elite ruling class of early Olmec communities. The Olmecs transitioned from a non-agricultural to agricultural society around 3,000 BC by cultivating maize, squash, and beans using slash-and-burn farming techniques. This led to population growth and the development of complex intellectual pursuits including calendars, ball games, writing, construction of pyramids, and sculpting of colossal heads.

The Aztec Empire was based around intensive agriculture in the fertile Valley of Mexico, growing maize, beans and squash. They built up the city of Tenochtitlan on Lake Texcoco using tons of dirt and constructed causeways, canals and aqueducts. The Aztecs demanded food and land as tribute from conquered peoples. Meanwhile, the Inca Empire controlled a wide range of ecological zones in the Andes through complex terrace agriculture and irrigation systems. They developed an extensive road network for communication and transport across their large empire, alongside domesticated llamas for carrying goods.The Aztecs

The Aztecs lived in the Valley of Mexico, a high plateau with fertile soil from volcanoes. They were skilled engineers and architects, building cities on islands in lakes connected by causeways and aqueducts. The Aztec empire grew through warfare to control Mesoamerica by 1500. Their absolute monarchy was advised by councils but the king had ultimate power and collected tribute. The Aztecs were very religious and sacrificed people to please the gods. Society consisted of nobles and commoners who farmed or worked as artisans. The Aztecs excelled at engineering, arts, jewelry, and oratory despite having no strong written language.La Aztecs

The Aztecs lived in ancient Mexico for 400 years. They originally moved frequently due to not being welcome as neighbors, as they practiced human sacrifice to please their gods. They eventually settled in the Valley of Mexico, building canoes to fish and trade. The Aztecs established a system of free public schools mandatory for all children, including girls and slaves, to educate the population and train specialists in fields like engineering, medicine, and warfare. As their cities grew, the Aztecs created floating gardens on Lake Texcoco to solve food shortages by growing crops on anchored rafts.Incas
IncasEd Craig

The Incas developed in the Andes Mountains of South America, primarily in modern-day Peru and Chile, with smaller areas in Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Argentina. They were ruled by an absolute emperor from the capital city of Cuzco and important city of Machu Picchu. The Inca economy was based on high-altitude agriculture using terrace farms and domesticated animals like llamas and alpacas. They had a polytheistic religion with a sun god as the chief deity and achieved record keeping through knotted strings, engineering vast infrastructure, and expanding their empire across western South America.Latin American Civilizations

1) Homo sapiens emerged around 100,000 years ago in Africa and gradually migrated across the globe, reaching Australia by 50,000 years ago and the Americas by 15,000 years ago.
2) During the Paleolithic era, humans lived nomadic lifestyles as hunter-gatherers in small groups using tools made of wood and stone. The last ice age peaked around 18,000 years ago before climate warming.
3) The Neolithic Agricultural Revolution began around 8500 BCE, where humans began domesticating plants and animals, leading to sedentary agricultural societies and population growth. This resulted in new technologies, social hierarchies, and early cities along major river valleys.The mayas

The document provides information about the Maya civilization in Mesoamerica. It discusses the Maya cities, which consisted of large plazas and pyramids connected by causeways. The Maya developed a complex society with nobles, middle class, and commoners. They engaged in farming using slash-and-burn techniques and traded food and goods. The Maya made significant achievements in astronomy, mathematics, architecture, art, and a hieroglyphic writing system. However, drought and warfare eventually led to the decline of the Maya cities.The Neolithic Revolution

This document provides an overview of human civilization from the Paleolithic era to the earliest towns. It discusses how hunter-gatherer societies first emerged and spread across the world before settling down into agricultural communities during the Neolithic Revolution between 8000-3500 BCE. This allowed for population growth and the rise of specialized occupations. Some of the earliest urban settlements then appeared, like Jericho by 7000 BCE, which cultivated crops and engaged in trade and rule by elites. This marked the beginning of civilization and more complex societies.S.s. unit 1_lesson_2[1]

Agrarian civilizations, emerging around 3200 BCE, developed independently in regions such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China, characterized by large populations, surplus food production, and social hierarchies. These states and empires relied heavily on agricultural advancements and formed political, economic, and religious institutions to manage resources and power. While many shared common traits like writing systems and social stratification, differences arose in connectivity, trade, and cultural practices between early civilizations across different continents.Juan alcocer

Ancient Egyptian society was based on agriculture along the Nile River. Life revolved around the annual flooding of the Nile, which provided rich soil for farming after the waters receded. Egyptian culture treated men and women equally and featured important goddesses in their mythology. Hieroglyphs were a pictographic written language used in Egypt for over 3,500 years. Pharaohs served as high priests, heads of state, and were viewed as semi-divine beings. Pyramids were built as tombs for pharaohs and queens, with some pyramid builders being permanent employees rather than slaves. Egyptians practiced mummification to ensure safe passage to the afterlife.Pre columbian america-and_renaissance_europe

Hunter-gatherer bands first crossed into North America from Asia over 10,000 years ago. They gradually spread throughout North and South America, developing diverse cultures and lifestyles based on their environments. Some groups in Mexico and South America, like the Maya, Inca, and Aztecs, formed complex civilizations with urban societies, advanced technologies, and complex political systems. While most groups in North America did not develop large empires, they established varied societies adapted to their specific environments, such as coastal fishing in the Pacific Northwest or irrigation farming in the Southwest. By the time of European contact, hundreds of distinct native cultures inhabited the Americas.Aztec 2010 images short version

The Aztecs were guided to settle on an island in a lake after seeing an eagle perched on a cactus, fulfilling a prophecy. They built their city of Tenochtitlan there, which now lies at the center of Mexico City. The Aztecs had several creation myths to explain the origins of the world and humanity. After the Spanish conquest, Cortes initially maintained Aztec rule but replaced the nobility with Spanish landowners, establishing an oppressive system of forced native labor on silver mines that contributed greatly to Spain's wealth for hundreds of years. The Aztec education system was abolished and aspects of their culture were forbidden, contributing to the civilization's decline under Spanish rule.Meso americans, aztecs, incas & mayans,

I. The document discusses the origins and spread of civilizations in ancient Mesoamerica and South America. Early hunter-gatherer societies emerged around 20,000 BCE and began cultivating crops like maize and potatoes by 5000 BCE, leading to more sedentary agricultural villages. The first complex chiefdoms and city-states emerged around 1200 BCE, most notably the Olmec civilization.
II. Between 150-900 CE, major civilizations developed across Mesoamerica, including the large city of Teotihuacan in central Mexico and the Classic Maya civilization across southern Mexico and Central America, with dozens of city-states having thousands of inhabitants each. However, these declined between 700-900 CE likely3 2 cultures of middle america

The document provides information on early civilizations in Middle America, including the Olmecs, Mayans, and Aztecs. It describes that the Olmecs lived along the Gulf of Mexico from 1200 BC to 600 BC and were known for the large carved stone heads they created. The Mayans lived in the Yucatan Peninsula from 250 AD to 900 AD, used slash-and-burn farming of maize, and had advanced cities with temple pyramids, hieroglyphic writing, and the most accurate calendar of their time based on the sun and moon. However, the Mayan cities were mysteriously abandoned around 900 AD. The Aztecs built the city of Tenochtitlan on islands in LakeThe civilization in america

This document provides an overview of early civilizations that developed in different regions of the Americas prior to European contact. It describes how indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica (Mexico, Central America), the Andes region of South America, and parts of North America established complex societies with distinctive cultures, religions, and political systems. Key civilizations discussed include the Olmecs, Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas. The document also notes how isolation led to diversity among the peoples and languages that emerged across the Americas over thousands of years.The First Americans

The First Americans originated from Asia, crossing over a land bridge between Siberia and Alaska over 10,000 years ago. Known as Paleo-Indians, they populated North and South America, using stone tools to hunt large game. As the climate warmed, they adapted to hunting smaller prey and gathering food. Around 5,000 years ago in Mexico, some groups began cultivating corn and other crops, leading to more settled agricultural societies across the Americas. Distinct cultures developed in different regions, such as the Anasazi in the Southwest, Mississippian culture along major rivers, and Woodland cultures along the East Coast, characterized by mound and village building.Ad

The fall of the Roman Empire led to the disruption of trade as roads fell into disrepair and travel became dangerous due to invasions, while the loss of a common currency caused people to resort to bartering; cities were abandoned and fell into ruins as populations shifted to rural areas for safety, and scholars fled to Constantinople, while the lack of a central government caused schools to close, resulting in the loss of literacy for generations and a common language as Latin was replaced by local dialects.6. russia station 4

The document summarizes key aspects of early Russian history, including its geography, the influence of Slavs, Vikings called Rus, and the Byzantine Empire. Major developments included Kiev emerging as the first major Russian city on trade routes between groups. Prince Vladimir converted Rus to Byzantine Christianity in 987. Over time, Moscow grew more powerful under princes and became the capital, breaking from Mongol rule and seeing itself as the successor to Rome and Constantinople. Figures like Ivan III and Ivan IV centralized absolute power in Russia. The Mongol conquest had lasting effects, including strengthening the Orthodox Church and establishing models for absolute rule.7. romefrom republictoempirepowerpoint

Rome transitioned from a republic to an empire following a series of civil wars. As Rome expanded across the Mediterranean, wealth became concentrated among the elite as small farmers lost their lands. Reforms proposed by Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus failed, exacerbating unrest. Marius began recruiting landless poor for the army, giving more power to individual generals. This led to more civil wars between rival generals vying for power, including between Pompey, Crassus, and Julius Caesar, who formed the First Triumvirate. After Caesar's assassination, Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus formed the Second Triumvirate, with Octavian emerging victorious against Antony. Octavian, as6. classical china shang han

Sustainable Innovation with Immersive Learning
Sustainable Innovation with Immersive LearningLeonel Morgado

Prof. Leonel and Prof. Dennis approached educational uses, practices, and strategies of using immersion as a lens to interpret, design, and planning educational activities in a sustainable way. Rather than one-off gimmicks, the intent is to enable instructors (and institutions) to be able to include them in their regular activities, including the ability to evaluate and redesign them.
Immersion as a phenomenon enables interpreting pedagogical activities in a learning-agnostic way: you take a stance on the learning theory to follow, and leverage immersion to envision and guide your practice.FIRST DAY HIGH orientation for mapeh subject in grade 10.pptx

Thank you for attending our free workshops. Those can be used with any Reiki Yoga training package. Traditional Reiki does host rules and ethics. Its silent and within the JP Culture/Area/Training/Word of Mouth. It allows remote healing but theres limits for practitioners and masters. We are not allowed to share certain secrets/tools. Some content is designed only for Masters. Some yoga are similar like the Kriya Yoga-Church (Vowed Lessons). We will review both Reiki and Yoga (Master symbols) later on. Sounds Simple but these things host Energy Power/Protection.

We dont need to slave, mule, or work double shifts to fuse Reiki lol. It should blend naturally within our lifestyles. Same with Yoga. Theres no
need to use all the poses/asanas. For under a decade, my fav exercises are not asanas but Pilates. Its all about Yoga-meditation when using Reiki. (Breaking old myths.)
