Final Blog Post.

A- Aztecs, this is probably one of my best posts, this is about how the Aztecs used to be when they were alive. It also explains how was that they lost everything that they have and also their cultures and technology. The Aztecs were Nahuatl speaking, they used to live in northern and southern of Mexico. They were the most powerful Mesoamerican kingdom of all time. they used to believe in god, they had to kill people to make their gods happy. they also had technology, but different from ours. They had their own ways to make things better and easier to do, like for example their tools were make out of obsidian and chert. they had to two calender's, one was for time keeping and the other one was to keep track of their religious ceremonies and festivals.





This video is a about how the Aztecs used to create their calender's and for what they used them.

C- Christopher Columbus, he discovered the new world of the Americas on an expedition assigned by king Ferdinand of Spain 1492, he also led three ships, all of them with different names- the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa maria. when he discovered America, the first thing he saw was a big city with large stone buildings hosing many thousands of people and temples for work ship. The Aztecs treated them like gods, because they thought that he was Quetzalcoatl the most important god in their community, also because they visited the city in Quetzalcoatl's birthday.

Spanish looks westward.

The Spanish were people from Spain that conquer many countries, but before that many other things had happened. In 400s, the Spanish fall of the holly Roman empire. The holy Roman Empire was  a multicultural complex of territories in central Europe. Spain was part of a vast empire. Muslim ruled Spain for a  along time, they also when they had become to Spain, they had reduced the christian-controlled area to a narrow strip along the northern coast. But Spain didn't like this, so they battle against Muslim forces, in the 15th century. During this battle Spain had learn new ways of fighting on the battlefield. When all this ended,Spain had won almost every part of Spain. The only part that was still part of the Muslims was Granada. But in January 2, 1492 Spain had conquer Granada, so from this time Spain was now a christian land.

Hernan Cortes was a Spanish man, who discovered a new place which he called ''new world''. In the age of 19. He landed on Mexico in 1519, Montezuma II send gold and chocolate to the Spanish, but he didn't trust him at all. The only reason why Montezuma II helped them, was because he thought that Cortes was Quetzalcoatl the god of the sun, also because he landed in Quetzalcoatl's birthday.


When Cortes arrived, he only had 500 men's and 11 ships, Cortes took Montezuma hostage and his soldiers raider the community, but Cortes had to left the city because he founded out that the Spanish troop were coming after him, because he disobeying his leader in 1519. In 1521 Hernan Cortes returned to Mexico, but the Aztecs drove them out of the city, but Cortes returned again but this time he returned so he could battle them and take over the city.

The Renaissance

What was the Renaissance?

The Renaissance was a period of time when everything changed. This was like a rebirth for everyone, because they lost all of their knowledge, the forgot how to build and they had to start all over again. It was the time when they had to research and find out how their ancestors used to build their buildings and how they did, so it would be a really strong building. They had to start all over again. This spanned from the 14th to the 16th centuries.

Donatello and his statue of David

Donatello was an Italian sculptor. He was one of the greatest Florentine Sculpture before Michelangelo (1475-1564). He was born in Florence, Italy in 1386. One of his most famous sculptures is the fifteenth century the sculpture of David. This sculpture was created in 1408, the sculpture was the first life size nude statue since the ancient times.  His statue was small compared to Michelangelo's statue, David statue represented a heroic figure to the Florentine's who saw him as a symbol of their own struggle against power forces. David's sculpture does not look  victorious but more as a young leader when facing a giant, a bit unsure.

NICOLAUS COPERNICUS

Nicolaus Copernicus was born on February 19, 1473, in Torun Poland. He created his own celestial model of a heliocentric planetary system. Around 1514, he shared his findings in the commentariolus. His second book on the topic, De Revolutionibus orbium coelestium, was banned by the Roman Catholic Church not long after his May 24, 1543 death in Frauenburg,  Poland. In 1500's when everyone thought that the earth was the center of the universe, Nicolas that the sun was the center of the universe and that the planets revolved around the sun. Although his model wasn't completely correct, if formed a strong foundation for future scientists to build on and improve mankind's understanding of the motion of heavenly bodies. Ptolemy used to think that the earth was the center of the earth, but Copernicus felt that Ptolemy's  theory was incorrect. he died more than fifty years before Galileo become the first person to study the skies with a telescope. he also determined that the earth rotates daily on its axis and that the earth''s affected what people saw in the heavens. he did not have tools to prove his theories, but in 1600's astronomers such as Galileo would prove that he was right with his theories. Without his theories we might have not  discovered that the earth is not the center of the universe.

                                   

GALILEO GALILEI 

Galileo was born on February 15, 1564, in Pisa, Italy, he was a mathematics professor, who made observations  of nature with long lasting implications  of study of physics. he also invented the telescope and supported Nicolaus Copernicus theory of the solar system. his inventions of the law of motion and improvement of the telescope, helped farther the understanding of the world and the universe.He created a simple thermometer that could register variations in temperature but did not make any money off of it. In 1596, he built a compass used for aiming cannonballs. It was also adapted for civilian use in land surveying.   He made quite a bit of money off of this new invention, and he sold some of the compasses to his students many of which were wealthy members of aristocracy.  But the only reason he invented all of this its because he needed money for his family.
