We will be discussing the Minoan culture of Knossos. Read your book about Knossos and Phaistos. This culture gave us the worshipping of the Bulls, the Minotaur, and bull vaulting. Do some research and write in the Question of the Day page what your first impressions of the Minoan culture is. This was yesterday's question, today I would like you to elaborate on one of the interesting facts you learned in your reading or research. This could include the huge palaces of Knossos and Phaistos or any part of their culture.

Question of the Day #3 (20 point Homework question due November 21, 2013 7am) please answer the question below and responded to at least two of your classmate's answers.

I have been impressed with all the posts yesterday, although many were very late. Today lets get this done early. I told you in my posting I was going to ask you to look at another culture that we are not going to have the time to spend looking at in detail. Over the next two posts, today's and a Question of the Day in a few days, I would like for you to look at the Phoenicians. They are a culture which started on the very eastern edge of the Mediterranean in what is today Lebanon. Their alphabet, the first truly symbolic alphabet, not pictograms or based off pictograms, was the basis of all symbolic alphabets in the world. This includes ancient and modern Greek, ancient and modern Cyrillic (Russian), Roman languages, (all Western European languages) to name just a few. They also colonized and settled much of the Mediterranean. One of their colonies was Carthage. The Carthagians fought with Rome for control of the Western Mediterranean. As you did with the Minoan culture, I would like you to do simple research and post something you find interesting about the Phoenicians.
