Central watchtower

Central watchtower
This glazed ceramic model of a watchtower shows all the essential features of Han architecture. The basic unit is an enclosure defined by four corner piers with a widely overhanging tile roof supported by a system of cantilevered brackets. In addition, the house has a second roof over the first story, which is elevated on a stepped platform; an exterior staircase; elaborate latticework screens that shield the third story; and a circular central window on the top floor.

The Cave Beasts

When archaeologists make a discovery of such a magnitude it is amazing. This discovery dates back 8,000 years ago before the rise of Egyptian civilization and hunter and gatherers had not domesticated animals. To see the Sahara Desert today, it is crazy to think it was once a fertile, tropical forest. This is an interesting article.

    I believe our textbook is written very well. I enjoyed taking the tests on the internet because it made me realize that I need to study A LOT!

    It's hard to tell that this is your 1st time creating a blog because you were able to upload pictures/images as well. We sure all learned in the process. The textbook has interesting topics and I love our class. I'm still trying to catch up with the reading and postings. I hope to be able to get to that textbook tests as well.
