MAKING SENSE OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN MATHMATICS

• The dimension of the pyramids show that the Egyptians could measure distance and qualities with astonishing accuracy.

• They used the "Nilometer" which was a marked scale located at different point along the Nile, to calculate the river's height, and estimate the strength of it's annual flooding.
• 
  
  The Egyptians used the "cubit" as their unit of measurement. The cubit was based on the length of a man's forearm' and would have been equal to 52.4 centimeter.
• 
  
  they had dipstick that showed how much water had flowed out of the vessel and they knew how much time had passed.
• 
  
  Egyptians had no coins to use as money , but they did use weights of copper to calculate the value of different goods.
• wages and taxes were usually paid in goods or produce such as barley, honey, linen or reed mats.

2)The math that was used in Ancient Egyptian time was really difficult and complicated. Now we use more numbers and letter and we have people explaining math to us and we've come to understand it more.

SPEECH AGAINST THE SPANISH

Quote by Fray Antonio de Montesino

"Tell me, by what right or justice do you hold these Indians in such a cruel and horriible servitude." He wanted to know why the spaniards were so cold hearted and how they could live with themselves treating indians like crap and slaving them. I highly agree with Montesino, nobody should have any rite to treat any other human being in any type of Vicious,malevolent, brutal, sadistic, inhuman, ruthless, spiteful, depraved, wicked, delighting in torture, vengeful, evil, sinful, degenerate, disposed to inflict suffering, brutish, demoniac, outrageous, tyrannical, gross, swinish, evil-minded, rancorous, rough, wild, bestial, ferocious, bloodthirsty, savage, fierce, monstrous, barbarous, barbaric, maleficent, fell, ravening, fiendish, satanic, atrocious, truculent, demoniacal, debased, destructive, harmful, malignant, virulent, evilly disposed, pernicious, mischievous,or cruel way. These words were not as powerful back then as they are now because there was no type of justice or appropriate government like there is now, so no one really paid any attention to Montesino.

THE MYSTERY OF THE RED QUEEN

The bones of a ancient queen was found after 13 centuries, pretty fuckin crazy right? Archaeologist were looking in one of a lot of ancient mayan pyrmids and discovered the bones of tzakbu Ajaw. The wife of Pakal. She was born in (AD626-640AD) She came from a neighboring city-state and was married to Pakal as a teenager. She produced three sons; the first was born nine years after their marriage; the second, nine years later; and the third; four years later. Two of her three sons eventually ruled Palenque. So These peopple find har and in the beggining they did not know who the skeloton was, the had an idea of three possibility of who the mummie could be.

The first thought of the identity of the mummie was an ancient queen named Yol Ik Nal. Yol Ik Nal. Her rule lasted from A.D. 583 to 604. She was a strong ruler, but during her reign, the city-state was under siege. It was a tumultuous time for Palenque. She was a powerful war leader, and also the first women to ruled the palenque.Female rulers were very rare in the Classic Maya world, and usually they meant trouble. Trouble, that is, for the kingdom, because their presence foreshadowed a break in the patriline, and therefore a crisis in the legitimacy of the royal line. In the case of Ix Yol Ik'nal, we do not know the precise details surrounding the succession. We do not even know her birth date or her relationship with previous rulers. She was probably either the sister or daughter of Kan B'alam I—much more likely the latter. Whether Kan B' alam had no living sons or younger brothers, or whether Ix Yol Ik'nal got rid of male rivals to Palenque's throne is not clear. I suspect the former, and that her ascension to the throne was a smooth one, because she was crowned within a year of Kan B'alam I's death, and also because later rulers included her in their "honor-rolls" of ancestors. She is named in due order in the East Tablet of the Temple of the Inscriptions, on the Sarcophagus below the same temple, and in the Tablet of the Cross. Ix Yol Ik'nal is also named in the "K'an Tok" Tablet from Group XVI, commissioned by the last great king of Palenque, K'inich K'uk' B'alam II, to record the accessions to office of a series of Palenque nobles under the supervison of various Palenque rulers.

The second thought of who the corps could be was sak kukIx Sak K'uk' (sometimes rendered as Zac Kuk) was Queen of the Maya state of B'aakal, now known as Palenque, in what is now eastern Mexico
Her father was Pacal I. As Pacal It seem to have had no male heirs, she ascended to the throne on 22 October 612, a few months after her father's death. After his maturity, her son Pacal II, better known as Pacal the great, succeeded her as ruler on 29 July 615. She seems to have continued to wield considerable influence over Palenque in the early decades of her son's reign. Sak K'uk' died on 12 September.The mother of Pakal, Palenque’s strongest ruler. Zak Kuk had a great deal of power; archaeologists suspect that her behind-the-scenes maneuvering ensured that her son was selected as the next king. Although he became king when he was 12 years old, she continued to be very involved in the ruling of the kingdom until her death.

El Tajin

El Tajin is located in the state of Veracruz, El Tajin was at its height from the early 9th to the early 13th century. It became the most important centre in north-east Mesoamerica after the fall of the Teotihuacan Empire. Its cultural influence extended all along the Gulf and penetrated into the Maya region and the high plateaux of central Mexico. Its architecture, which is unique in Mesoamerica, is characterized by elaborate carved reliefs on the columns and frieze. The 'Pyramid of the Niches', a masterpiece of ancient Mexican and American architecture, reveals the astronomical and symbolic significance of the buildings. El Tajin has survived as an outstanding example of the grandeur and importance of the pre-Hispanic cultures of Mexico.
