Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Bronze Age began around 3500 B.C.E. when metallurgy started to develop in Anatolia. Anatolia is in what modern-day country?

Answer: Menes

Thutmose I moved the capital of Egypt to Thebes. Ramses II drove the barbarians living in Egypt out, and Amenhotep was known as "the man who inspires great terror."

3. The Indus Valley Civilization, which covered much of modern Pakistan and north-west India, was one of the largest in the world at the time. About when did it start?

The earlist discoveries of bronze and copper where found in Majiayao territory around the Yellow River.

5. Near the Majiayaos was the Mumuns, a civilization in Korea. However after a few hundred years some of these people moved to what present-day country?

Answer: Japan

The Mumuns were one of the first East Asian civilization to become heavily dependant on fishing (as well as farming). If they had not known how to fish, future Koreans and Japenese would have found something else to eat, and most likely we would never have eaten sushi.

6. The Minoan civilization started on the island in Crete. Based in the capital of Knossos, the grand palace contained what modern-day commodity or amenity?

Answer: Indoor plumbing

Although there was a walk-in pantry and several ceramic candle holders, there was never a meat locker, nor lamps. The candle holders were put on the wall making them torches.

8. In Britain one of the Celtic tribes created something you might of found in a large city. What was it?

Answer: A graveyard complete with the largest mausoleums in Europe

The Celts had been perfecting tomb-building with almost the same fervor as the Egyptians, after all you can find these graveyards all over Britain, much like the pyramids in Egypt. (But Egypt did surpass them.)

9. The Ballybegs in Ireland were the great weaponsmiths of the day making axes, daggers, and even a gun.

Answer: False

The first working gun wasn't invented until the late 1400s in Europe, although gunpowder was invented in 904 C.E.
