Ancient cultures:

Include this information in your presentation:
  1. - Map
  2. - When did the civilization appear?
  3. - How did they live? 
  4. - Landmarks (monuments, buildings, etc) that have survived.
  5. - When did the civilization disappear? Do you know why?

If you love learning about the past, digging in the dirt, or doing scientific experiments, archeology may be for you. Archeology is the study of past cultures based on the material they left behind. Scientists, called archeologists, learn about the past by studying artifacts, buildings, and monuments. An artifact is any object made by human beings such as tools, pottery, and jewelry. Studying buildings and monuments such as the Egyptian pyramids and the Roman Colosseum can teach us many things about past cultures.

But what do you know about archaeology? Take this quiz and find out.

I invite you now to take a walk through time. Get into the time tunnel and discover interesting facts about people from the past.

Would you like to explore a pyramid?

Task 1: Important archaeologists. 
Who were Howard Carter and Robert Ballard? What important discoveries did they make?



2500 BC: Stonehenge (England) and Egypt


220-206 BC: The Great Wall



100 CE: Rome


5th-16th centuries CE: Maya civilization (Chichen Itza)
 




Task 2: The wonders of the ancient and modern world.
How much can you tell us about these amazing constructions? 
When / Where was it built? 
What did / do people use it for?
Describe it.
Curious facts. 


 

Try some exercises:
Past simple vs past continuous 1
Past simple vs past continuous 2
Past simple vs past continuous 3
Past simple vs past continuous 4

    Hi, I am Angel, of 6-C:
    Yesterday I saw that Richard Buckley and a group of archeologist found the skeleton of Ricardo III, king of Ingland.

    Richard III was an English king from the 15th century who was supposed to be a complete villain, responsible of many murders. Archaeologists have now reconstructed his face using the skull recently found.
