As you all most likely already know, I will be continuing this blog (which was at first just a project, but I've grown to love it) with different facts in geography and stuff (like Egypt for example).
Well, that is all; don't forget to leave a recommendation to what our next lesson should be.

Egypt
Yay! Update!
So today, I'm going to be doing something completely random; talking about Egypt!
Ironically, I'm doing a social studies project that's actually based on Egypt.
(Note that this will include: random facts, religion, writing, and monuments/landmarks)
Let's get started, shall we?
First, we are going to talk about religion. When the Greeks and the Romans conquered Egypt, their religion was actually influenced by the Egyptians (impressive). Ancient pagan beliefs gradually faded and were replaced by monotheistic religions. Today, the majority of the Egyptian population is Muslim with a small minority of Jews and Christians.
Second, we are going to talk about landmarks (or whatever you like to call them. Attractions maybe?). My personal favorites are the Egyptian Pyramids, the Luxor Temple, and the Great Sphinx. But, there are many more than those three; such as the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, and etc.
Third, we are going to talk about how they wrote. The ancient Egyptians wrote by using hieroglyphics (basically a small picture that represents a letter, maybe a number). And, well . . . that's all I have to say about that (for now anyway).
Lastly, i decided to just go over some random facts about Egypt. Here they are:
1.) The scarab beetle was sacred to the Egyptians and represented life after death and/or resurrection
2.) Egyptians worshiped a total of about 8,700 of gods/goddesses in total, most with the head of an animal to represent their powers
3.) Ancient Egyptians needed to predict when the Nile would flood, which led to the development of the worlds first calendar
4.) Something that a lot of people don't know is that Cleopatra was Greek, not Egyptian
Hope you guys enjoyed today's lesson, if you want, you can leave a recommendation on what our next lesson will be (although it may take a little while).Again, sorry it was so short, but I gotta work on other stuff too ya know! Anyway, have a nice day!

Economies in Asia
Hey everyone! Sorry I couldn't update sooner, I had school work. Finals are coming soon. Help me.dfffffigy
First up is China! China is a mixed economy, but with more command (but it's moving towards market). China has an economic freedom score of 52 percent. It's jobs include farming, business owners, and factory workers; the resources are iron, steel, farmland, coal, oil, and fishing.
Next is Japan! Japan has a mixed economy (although more market), and has an economic freedom score of 73.1 percent. It's jobs are fishing, technology, and industries. The natural resources are fishing, few natural resources (sorry Japan) so they depend on education and nuclear power.
We finally made it to India! Like the others, India has a mixed economy, but some rural areas are traditional. India has a n economic freedom score of 56.2 percent. The jobs in this country are farming, herding, industries, movies, technology, and customer service.Farmland, fishing, grain, wheat, and rice are India's natural resources.
Lastly is North Korea! I think it's pretty obvious what type of economy they have (command). The economic freedom score is 2.3 percent. Military, factories (machinary), and textiles are the jobs there. They have iron, coal, steel, and minerals as natural resources.
Hope you enjoyed today's lesson; more updates on the way!
