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.
