What do the artifacts tell us about the lives of early human?

In class, my group researched about a cave painting that was found in Lascaux, France. There were bisons, horses, etc, and a chest left behind. Cave paintings can tell us about lives of early humans because they are like stories, such as a person doing a heroic. This painting is interesting because the artist painted horses like it was running along by painting it in the cave's unbalanced walls. An interesting part is when a group of scientists in Argentina were searching for cave paintings in a cave. But when they were singing, they noticed that the sound was more powerful in the area where they found the cave painting.

Another reason is that about other artifacts about sculptures, etc, it shows how creative early humans were. For the sculptures, the hominids used different tools such as a rock, etc. Not only that, but hominids also made and dug traps for small animals. The hominids are good hunters using spear throwers, stones, etc. Hunting is a big thing for hominids because they could chase horses, bisons, and get the meat and the skin for survival. When hominids found shelter, they started to express their feelings about the world in art and they started to make sculptures.

So artifacts can tell us about the lives of early humans many ways by art, etc. "These artifacts and the blessing they bring are for all the people. This is such a rare opportunity-probably never again in my life time," by archaeologist Noel Lee. Without these artifacts, we wouldn't have a clue of about the lives of early humans.

These are some sculptures of bisons that were made about 14,000 years ago.

Social Scientist

If I was a social scientist, I would be an archaeologist ( if I get to), because I could see the pyramids in Egypt. I always wanted to some monuments such as the Great Sphinx, the Valley of the Kings, etc.  I have read this book called The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan, it explains about Egyptian gods and goddess such as Bast, the cat goddess, etc.

The first reason why I am interested in being an archaeologist is that I could dig up dinosaur bones or fossils. Once when I was at a beach, I found this cool fossil but my parents told me to leave it there. But it looked like a prehistoric sea creature.

My second reason is because it's a good experience. It may be tiring, but it's fun because I used to dig often when I was in kindergarten. Once I have found this particular interesting bone when I went to a beach. I showed it to my little brother and he was just amazed.

Finally, my last reason is because it was one of my dream when I was in kindergarten. I used to play with dinosaur toys. Once, my best friend bought me an encyclopedia about dinosaurs and I sat all day reading it! I especially liked the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

My First Blog Entry

Greetings people around the world! My name is Shin Young and my nationality is South Korea. I have a younger sibling in fourth grade. My birthday is in April 2nd after April fools day! I like middle school because of the food compared to the elementary school, and the teachers are nice.

I've read these following books over the summer: The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick, The Diary of a Wimpy Kid #2 by Jeff Kinney, and Awesome Archaeology by Nick Arnold. The Invention of Hugo Cabret is about a boy called Hugo Cabret who is trying to fix his father's invention in a subway station.

The last movie I have seen was Eclipse. The movie Eclipse is about a mortal girl called Bella, a male vampire called Edward, and a werewolf called Jacob all negotiate (even though they are enemies) to fight off the evil vampire villains who are trying to kill Bella. I would like to recommend the movie Twilight rather than Eclipse.

My academic goal is to get all A's on my report card. That's why I have to be more concerned about how oraganized I am, etc. My social goal is to make new friends and chat with my friends.

My favourite vacation is when my family went to Thailand with my grandparents. We went sight-seeing, trying out food, collecting souvenirs, etc. I've also made a friend there called Charlie. He is from Thailand and is our tour guide. I had lots of fun in Thailand!

The five adjectives that describe me are intelligent, strong, impatient, kind, and brave.

This is a spicy soup called Tom Yam. It has a hot and sour flavor. I have tried it in Thailand. Those of you who love seafood, you should try it out!
