Other source is the picture above beacuse Ancient Greeks believed that their Gods had enormous powers, and that they were able to control nature in all its forms.The most known example is Pythia in Delphi, at the Sanctuary of God Apollo.

The Athens and Sparta shared many things such as the issue of slavery, women's rights, and their custom of citizenship. Both Athens and Sparta had an Assembly, whose members were elected by the people. Sparta was ruled by two kings, who ruled until they died or were forced out of office. Athens was ruled by archons, who were elected annually. As an Athenian, you could get a good education and could pursue any of several kinds of arts or sciences. You could serve in the army or navy, but you didn't have to. On the other hand the Spartan life was simple and focused only on obedience and war. Slavery made this possible by freeing the young men from household and industrial duties and allowing them to focus on their military duties.
I would like to live in the Athens because their life wasnt focused on just military. The Athens were more complex and more freedon with the choices you make in life whether joining the military or not. The Sparta was all about the military and war, the young boys would be trained as soon as their mother deliver, mothers had to exercise to make the young boy healthy. Military life is not my idea for my life therefore the Athens definantly beat the Sparta, i can get way more education than just learning how to kill.

My opinion on Capzles is its difficult to start off using it and it takes time to learn how to use it. takes more time to learn how to use then to put the information of my topic in it. I dont think students should use this first choice for a project.

The question I would be focusing on with my research is
What kind of culinary techniques and tools did the Egyptians have to make their food/diet?
I am doing this topic because I am very interested in culinary arts and i would like to know how they stuck to their diet like did they have limited goods to eat from and what was the diet. Also what spices and tools did they use to make their diet.With this research i think i would also learn how did they get more goods to add on their diet like trading. Therefore my overall project would be presented by a powerpoint focusing on the techniques and tools Egypt used to make the food that was important to make their diet in line.

Cyrus the Great
He was the most influental leader in my opinion beacuse he has had many accomplishments. He was in the Bible as the liberator of the Jews held captive in Babylon. His legacy is the founding not only of an empire but of a culture and civilization that continued to expand after his death and lasted for two centuries. He was a strong influence on the Greeks. He declared the first charter of human rights, He invented the first postal system and His name is mentioned 22 times in the old testament which means he was a great and well recognized leader.
