By about 1500 B.C. the
peoples along the coast of Peru
and in central Mexico were
beginning to live in villages. By
1,000 B.C. trading centers
began to appear. The earliest
of these cultures (in Mexico) is
called the Olmec.
These people left giant stone
heads and many objects made
of jade. There is also evidence
that the Olmecs had priests and
worshipped a god that looked
like a jaguar.
Near the modern city of Oaxaca
(wah-HAH-kah) in Mexico is
Monte Alban, a high hill topped
by ceremonial structures that
may be as ancient as the
Olmecs.
Here human sacrifice was
practiced. Both the Olmec
culture and the Monte Alban
cultures appear to have been
devastated by civil war.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION
9/16/13
• What caused the decline of the MesoAmerican cultures?
INCAS
• About the same time the Aztecs were in
Mexico, another group was building a
civilization in the Andes Mountains of
South America. The religion of these
tribes was based on sun worship.
Their name – Incas – meant
“children of the Sun”. By the
late 1400’s it extended along
most of the west coast of South
America and far into the Andes
covering what is today Peru,
Ecuador, Bolivia, and Chile.
In the Inca Empire everything
belonged to the Inca Ruler. The
capital was Cuzco, known as
the “City of the Sun”.
The Incas built fortresses and
irrigation systems and laid
paved roads from one end of
their realm to the other. Pack
animals carried goods and swift
runners carried news to the Inca
capital.
They had food storage areas
if crops failed to prevent local
famine. They had a public
school system
The result was that the Inca
language (Quechua – Kechwah) is still spoken today by
millions of native people in four
South American countries.
The Incas did not have a
system of writing. They did
keep records by means of the
quipu – a kind of knotted string
that was used to assist the
memory.
They were quite advanced in
the practice of medicine,
anesthetics and even brain
surgery.
Both the Inca and Aztec
empires were brought to a
sudden end by the Spanish
conquest.

THE TURKS
• In the 1300’s a group of Turks appeared.
They were called the Ottoman Turks after
their first ruler Osman.
Ottoman success in battle and
in government was due in part
to a group of slaves known as
the Janissaries.
Many of the Janissaries were taken
as children from Christian families.
They became an army of
disciplined soldiers. They also
served as bodyguards to the
Turkish rulers (sultans). The
Ottoman Turks will conquer
Constantinople, and then spread
east to India.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION
• What impact did Clovis have on the
spreading of Christianity among the
Germanic tribes?
MEDIEVAL EUROPE
• When the Roman Empire fell apart in the
400’s Western Europe was overrun by
Germanic tribes such as the Visigoths
and Vandals.
But the most important were the
Franks. They first entered the
Roman Empire in the 300’s,
near the mouth of the Rhine
River. They settled in northern
Gaul (what is today Belgium
and the Netherlands).
In 481 a ruler of great ability
became king of the Frankish
tribes. His name was Clovis.
He was brutal, but an excellent
military leader.
He soon conquered the other
Frankish tribes and controlled
all of northern Gaul. A few
years after Clovis became King
he was influenced by his
Christian wife Clotilda.
He promised to accept her
religion if he won a certain
battle. He did win, and not only
kept his vow but forced 3,000 of
his warriors to be baptized.
Clovis became a strong
supporter of Christianity, and
he and his Franks gained the
support of the church.
Later he conquered
southwestern Gaul from the
Visigoths and ruled most of
present-day France. (Which
took its name from the
Franks).
