Aegean Bronze Age Mycenaean society appears to have been divided into two groups of free men: the king's entourage, who conducted administrative duties at the palace; and the people (da-mo, later Greek demos) – craftsmen, farmers and others – who lived at commune level. The people were watched over by royal agents and were obliged to perform duties for and pay taxes to the palace. On a lower rung of the social ladder were found the slaves. Among those who evolved in the palace setting could be found well-to-do high officials who probably lived in the vast residences found in proximity to Mycenaean palaces, but also others, tied by their work to the palace and not necessarily better off than the members of the da-mo. The one who were essentially important were the people who traded abroad and the people who fought, as well as the men who led them. Pictures:
Jeffrey W. McClurken | A Starting Place for My Digital Work Ancient Greece on Tripline The Battle of Marathon is one of the most famous battles in history. It was a triumphal victory for the Greeks over the Persians, which boosted Greek confidence and without which Europe may never have enjoyed the classical culture which has so influenced western civilisation. After Marathon the Persians attacked Greece again ten years later in 480 BC, when they won a victory at Thermopylae and then sacked Athens, but were themselves finally defeated by the Greeks at Salamis and Plataea. These were the Persian Wars recorded by Herodotus, the 'Father of History'. The victory at Marathon was marked on the battlefield by a burial tumulus for the 192 Greek hoplites who died, and this is still on the same site today, along with a site museum. The great legend of Pheidippides, the runner who took word of the victory to Athens, may have been embellished with storytelling, but it provided a brilliant basis for introducing the marathon event to the modern Olympics in 1896.
James Farmer Project Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Roll over names of designated regions on the map above for descriptions of the role of each in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The North American mainland played a relatively minor role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Its ports sent out less than five percent of all known voyages, and its slave markets absorbed less than four percent of all slaves carried off from Africa. The Caribbean was one of the two major broad regional markets for slaves from Africa. Brazil was the center of the slave trade carried on under the Portuguese flag, both before and after Brazilian independence in 1822, and Portugal was by far the largest of the national carriers. Europe was the starting point for about half of all trans-Atlantic slaving voyages. Sub-Saharan Africa lost over twelve and a half million people to the trans-Atlantic slave trade alone between 1525 and 1867.
Anti-Eviction Mapping Project historical maps into Unity3d This should work. Say there’s a historical map that you want to digitize. It may or may not have contour lines on it, but there is some indication of the topography (hatching or shading or what not). Here’s a workflow for making that happen. Some time ago, the folks at the NYPL put together a tutorial explaining how to turn such a map into a minecraft world. Easy peasy. For the first part, we follow the NYPL: As I noted a while ago, there are some “hidden, tacit bits [concerning] installing the Contour plugin, and working with GRASS tools (especially the bit about ‘editing the current grass region’, which always is fiddly, I find).” Anyway, now that you have a grayscale image, open it in Gimp (or Photoshop; if you do have photoshop go watch this video and you’re done.). For those of us without photoshop, this next bit comes from the addendum to a previous post of mine:L Now you can import this historical elevation map in Unity. Select your .raw grayscale image. Now the fun stuff can happen.
