terms for test

Today in Western Civ, we talked about the rest of the powerpoint I was interested in it because I reviewed most of it last night, so I knew what he was actually talking about. We also talked about Hammurabi’s code. We looked at some of the laws that he made. Most of them were crazy and a little bit funny laws. Here are some words that are going to be on the test.
  • prehistory- Before events were written down
  • Paleolithic Age- Old Stone Age. They found simple pebble tools have been found
  • Neolithic Age- The new stone age. It was marked by advanced tool making and the beginnings of agriculture
  • Agricultural Revolution- a change in hunting/gathering to more settled agriculture. Populations increased from good care health wise
  • cuneiform- The earliest form of writing invented by the Sumerians
  • ziggurat- a Sumerian temple built on top of a “mountain” of earth
  • Indo-Europeans- People who migrate from europe to india. people from the grasslands of the Russian steppe who introduced the horse to the Near East
