Module 5

Life in the past is much interesting than life at this moment in my opinion. I am interested in history and this module is full of rich information.
Pompeii was an ancient Roman city near Naples and Mt Vesuvius, a volcano in Italy. Pompeii was a busy city and in the centre there was a large marketplace and a forum. In Pompeii there was a large amphitheater and two smaller theatre. Pompeii had public baths, backers, restaurants and even a hotel. Unfortunately this city was destroyed by the eruption of Mt Vesuvius and buried it under ash.
Another ancient civilisation was Egyptian. Ancient Egyptians lived along the banks of the River Nile.The ancient Egyptians built houses and gigantic pyramids from stone. They hunted for animals and went fishing on the River Nile. In their free time they played music or board games. Ancient Egypt had a great civilisation.
I was impressed by reading of native Americans. When the Europeans arrived on the continent there were many different tribes. The Kwakiutl were fishermen.They had large wooden houses. They had canoes for fishing, hunting and trading. The Navajo were farmers and grew crops. They lived in houses made of earth and wood. The women farmed, looked after the children and did the house work. The men hunted and protected the tribe. At first, the Cheyenne lived like the Navajo. When the Europeans brought horses to America, they left their farms and moved from place to place.
But most I was impressed by the ancient Inca site in the Andes Mountains in Peru. The Incas were clever people and they knew how to do many things. They were also good farmers, they grew potatoes, corn. Machu Picchu was a great city. A lot of people lived there, but one day, they left and no one knows why.
History of different countries are attractive to me. For example our country had a really great impress Catherine the Great. She developed the arts and sciences in Russia. During her reign she made Russia a great nation. Catherine also improved the country's educational system.
UK had also legendary figures. Merlin was one of the most fascinating figures in British mythology. He was a wizard, a poet, a teacher and an advisor to kings. One day, Merlin had a vision tat the King's son, Arthur, was in great danger. Merlin advised the King to send his son to live in the forest and Merlin became his guardian and teacher. Now-days Merlin continues to fascinate people whenever they hear his story.
As we see from Merlin's story the UK is an interesting country. The Englishmen liked always music, dance, fashion, films very much. Music was very important to teenagers in the 1960. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones were everywhere at that time: on the radio, on TV. Most people had a television at hone in the '60s.
