Day 18: Alexander the Great 2

Here are more notes about Alexander the great:

Augustus lay a crown on his coffin, and laid flowers around it. Alexander was laid to rest in a building that was not meant for him. The sarcophagus was moved to London once napoleon found it. People say the actual body is not there, so they are still trying to find it. Alexander's legacy still lives;
his battle tactics are still used today at military universities. For ages, people fought following Alexander's battle strategies. Alexander had a special connection with his soldiers, which made them extra strong in the battle field. Alexander wanted to fight the Persians, and Kanibal followed Alexander's path. Napoleon was fascinated by Alexander's tales, and also admired his religious acceptance. Napoleon was crowned emperor of France, using his inspiration for Alexander.

Day 17: Alexander the Great

Today we watched a video on Alexander the Great, here are some of the notes I took:

Alexander was born in Babylon, 323 BC, years after the golden age ended. The golden age ended because of the Athenian defeat in the Peloponesian war. He was born in the city of Pella, which is part of Macedonia.

His father is called Philip the second. He taught Alexander about leadership and battle tactics. His mother was called Olympus. She work-shipped Dionysus by putting herself in a trance and drinking a lot of wine. She also claimed that she was impregnated by Zeus, and that he was Alexander's true father.

King Philip thought his wife was a little too extreme, and marries another woman while Alexander was on a 3 year trip with a philosopher. Philip had a baby with her new wife, and when Alexander found out, he saw it as a threat for his throne. Eventually, his father got killed by one of his guards, and Alexander became king at the age of 20.

Day 16: Hellenistic Culture

The Hellenistic Culture is a mix of Greek culture; blended with Egyptian, Persian, and Indian influences. The Koine language was popularly spoken in the Hellenistic cities. The word "Koine" directly means "common".Among may cities of the Hellenistic world, Alexandria become the center of trade in the Hellenistic civilization. All the commerce going on allowed the city to grow and prosper.

Hellenistic scholars preserved Greek and Egyptian learning in the sciences. Until the scientific advances of the 16th and the 17th centuries, Alexandrian scholars provided most of the scientific knowledge available to the west. In Astronomy, Alexandria's museum contained a small observatory in which astronomers could study planets and stars. For Mathematics and physics, Eratosthenes and Aristarchus used geometry text. Euclid was a highly regarded mathematician who taught in Alexandria. His book contained 465 carefully presented geometry propositions and proofs. Finally, they also studies Philosophy and Art. The teachings of Plato and Aristotle continued to be very influential in the Hellenistic philosophy.

Day 15: A Little Discussion

I like discussions, and today we had a good one. We talked about Mr. Schick's speech and debate team. We also talked about whether apple should allow the government to break into other peoples phones, and a little about Pericles.
