How Do we tell Time? A review
• Time, as we usually use it, is measured in
years BC and AD.
• BC (Before Christ) counts the years before
the Birth of Jesus.
• AD (Anno Domini) counts the years after
the birth of Jesus.
• Now in History we usually use the term
BCE (before Common Era) instead of BC
and CE (common Era) instead of AD.

Jesus-on Year

Foldable Notetaking!
• We will be creating a foldable time with
which to take notes.
• Hot dog fold
• 2nd hot Dog Fold
• Mark of four equal sections by folding in
half twice.
• Draw a timeline arrow across the length of
the foldable, and label it according to the
diagram on the next slide.

The Phoenicians
• 1200 BC–539 BC
• Civilization in Modern Day Israel
• Known for trading purple dye made from
shellfish
• The Phoenicians invented the alphabet
that our modern alphabet comes from.
• Their language formed the basis for Latin,
which in turn formed the basis for most
languages of Europe, including English.
Kingdom of Kush
•
•
•
•
1070 BCE–CE 350
Founded after the Decline of Egypt
Actually Ruled Egypt until 656 BCE
Possibly influenced the Ancient Greeks
Culturally.
• Kush may have had a redistributive
economy-where they taxed the people nad
gave resources back out so everyone had
an equal share.
Ancient Greece
• 1100 BCE to 146 BCE.
• This time in European history was very exciting.
The Ancient Greeks created the first advanced
civilization on the continent of Europe.
• They came up with many firsts, including the first
democracy, the first to use science and
mathematics to explain the world, and they had
a complicated religion with many gods, as well
as writing plays, poems, and music.
Ancient Rome
• 146 BCE to 476 CE
• The Romans began to conquer Europe around
the time of the end of the Greek Empire.
• Rome was ruled by a republic, which is a type of
government like a democracy where people vote
their leaders in to power. In 27 BCE, however,
Julius Caesar turned the republic into an empire,
led by a dictator called an Emperor, or Caesar.
• Julius was killed, and his nephew Augustus
officially became the First Emperor of Rome.
The Empire took over all of Europe until it was
destroyed by barbarians and fell in 476 CE.
