The Americas Discussion



My fellow classmates Samantha and Dana found The Americas just as fascinating as I did. Samantha went into detail about how the America's there were two classes, nobles and commoners.  The Americas is geographically now Central America and the upper part of South America. She spoke about each of the four civilizations: Olmec’s, Mayans, Aztecs, and the Incas and what makes them unique. She also made a comparison to a trip she has taken and how the ruins resemble something she has seen before. In person these places are remarkable. I can’t fight the urge to travel!

Dana had mentioned a strong connection to traveling, as well as, the Spanish cultures. I found out that she will be visiting the very famous site of Chiche'n It'za, and that makes me so jealous. Dana said that there was A lot of artwork during this period that had symbols and signs  which made them appealing to the eye. Artwork also contained images of butterflies, birds, and flowers which come off as delicate, yet strong because of the materials that were used.
