Beibei roams the magical starry world

Chapter 68 1 Year in Prehistory ~ Assyrian Empire, Pyramids, Ancient Rome, Celts

The small submarine was sailing on the Atlantic Ocean and would reach Bermuda in one day, so the friends put on their helmets again and prepared to visit the first thousand years BC.

Time Ship is ready to take everyone to see Mesopotamia Civilization, Egyptian Civilization, European Civilization, Chinese Civilization, Indus Valley Civilization and Mesoamerican Civilization.

"It's still a familiar place," Jack said.

The time ship took the friends through the sky above the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and arrived near Mosul, Iraq today.

I saw a large-scale battle taking place on the ground. Five thousand soldiers wearing iron armor, holding spears and swords, riding on war horses, charged at the infantry on the opposite side. The black armor and the rumbling sound of horse hooves made the other side's soldiers panic. Morale plummeted.

Behind the horse cavalry appeared another five thousand camel cavalry wearing iron armor and holding bows and arrows, shooting arrows at the enemy.

Next to the camel cavalry was a catapult. Since the horse cavalry had already thrown boulders before charging, the slingers were now adjusting the position of the catapult.

After the enemy soldiers withstood the first round of attack by the horse cavalry, the formation of the team was already loose. Under the second round of attack by the horse cavalry, the infantry soldiers could only face the attack by the war horse and the massacre by the saber, and the battle ended quickly.

"In the first millennium BC, the Mesopotamia entered the Assyrian period. The Assyrian Empire had a very powerful military force. It pioneered cavalry and conquered Babylon, Lebanon and Phoenicia. Later, it was invaded by the Alameans and the Assyrian Empire It soon fell apart, and it was not until the end of the first millennium BC that the Assyrians re-emerged in Western Asia.

The Assyrian Empire adopted a centralized military state.

The Assyrians absorbed Babylonian culture and developed their own culture.

A great deal of wealth was accumulated through trade and commerce. "The robot Xiao Cong explained

The time ship flew to the Nile River Basin. Beibei and his friends saw slaves all over the mountains and plains mining limestone and granite with their bare upper bodies and their skin tanned by the sun.

In the quarry, a group of slaves processed the quarried stones into flat and smooth boulders.

On a long, flat dirt road, a team of slaves carried ropes and dragged huge stones forward. Under the stones were logs rolling.

Looking into the distance, a high platform has been built with stones layer by layer. This is the "bottom layer" of the pyramid.

Next to the bottom layer of stone blocks is an earth slope of the same height. The craftsmen asked slaves to pull the stones up to a higher level along the earth slope, so that the stones could be built layer by layer.

There is a completed pyramid in the distance. The slaves are removing the earth slope on the side of the pyramid, and the pyramid gradually appears.

"In the first thousand years BC, Egyptian civilization entered the third intermediate period. The pharaohs ruled the Nile Valley. They were keen on building pyramids, temples, and recording cultural achievements with papyrus and hieroglyphs." Robot Xiao Cong explained.

The time ship came to Europe.

"In 1000 BC, European civilization was in the transition from ancient civilization to medieval civilization. During this period, tribes, city-states and kingdoms across Europe gradually formed. The time ship below will take you to see some important civilizations." Robot Xiao Cong Explaining.

The time ship came to Greece and saw the busy people in the city-state.

Some children were listening to the stories of the Trojan War and Odysseus' return home in Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey."

Tragedies such as "Prometheus Bound", "Oedipus the King", "Medea", "Clouds", "Frog" and "Knight" are performed every day in the theater.

Famous sculptors such as Phidias, Polyclitus and Scopas created works such as "Athena", "Nike" and "Laocoön".

Philosophers Thales, Anaximander, Heraclitus, etc. were exploring issues such as the origin of the world and the order of the universe.

The Greek historian Herodotus began writing the Histories.

The time ship then arrived in Rome, and what greeted Beibei and his friends was a small city-state.

"It's so unpredictable that such a small city-state will become the overlord of the Mediterranean region a few hundred years later!" Xiaohui sighed.

Beibei also nodded.

“The king of the Roman city-states had absolute power. Five hundred years later, the Roman Republic was established, and the monarchy was gradually replaced by the republic.

Rome was divided into three classes: nobles, plebeians and slaves. The nobility held the dominant position in politics and economy, the common people were mainly engaged in agriculture and handicrafts, and slaves were the lowest workers.

The Roman economy was mainly agriculture, followed by handicrafts and trade.

The Roman army was mainly composed of citizens and was used to defend the city-state and expand its territory. "The robot Xiao Cong explained.

The time ship came to Western Europe, Central Europe, Southern Europe and Asia Minor.

I saw a group of tall, burly people with white skin, red hair, and green or gray eyes engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry in various countries or city-states.

"The people you see here are the Celts, a powerful ethnic group distributed in various countries or city-states. Celtic civilization influenced the culture, art, law and political system of later Europe. The culture of the Celts And traditions are still partially preserved in Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Brittany and other places." Xiao Cong, the robot, explained.

The time ship came to present-day Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries.

A group of hunters with strong builds, light brown or white skin, long hair and beards, wearing animal skins, furs or linen clothing, holding spears or tomahawks in their hands, entered the forest.

“Around 1000 BC, the Germanic people migrated south from the Baltic Sea coast and entered present-day Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries. They mainly engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing and hunting, and gradually formed their own culture and social system. This is Germanic civilization." Robot Xiao Cong explained.

The time ship came to the eastern and central regions of Europe. Among the tribes near the forests and swamps, people were engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry.

"Slavic civilization: In the first millennium BC, the Slavs were divided into three classes: nobility, free people and slaves based on family and kinship. The nobility held political and religious power, the free people were engaged in agriculture, handicrafts and animal husbandry, and the slaves They are responsible for housework and field work.

During this period, the interaction and integration of the Slavs with the Germans, Celts, and Latins promoted the development and evolution of Slavic culture. "The robot Xiao Cong explained.
