WHEN DID IT ALL START? I MEAN WHEN!


While we had homework assignments of when writing was first developed, it inspired me to search into the whole human civilization timeline!!  so exciting right? I mean think about.. This is the beginning of when human civilization STARTED!  I think it's really important to understand the general timeline of our human history in order to understand when writing was discovered, when famous literatures manifested, when ancient nations developed. And I don't think many people understand what came before our time.  So this timeline was one of the best examples that relates according to our class readings. What I found most interesting was the wall of china was built way before christ was born.

Important things to know
*So BC translates = "Before Christ" Which means the years before Christ was born. After he was born the very next year became 1. AD 
*Some people also say B.C.E which translates= "Before Common Era" to avoid christian references.
*Then AD translates= Anno Domini~ which means "in the year of the Lord", 

As you can see the earliest developed nation started around 3700 BCE was Ancient Mesopotamia. I must confirm this is a condensed photo of when the earliest developed nation not the earliest human civilization timeline. This can be shown below: (click on link to see FULL evolution including mammels-->https://www.quora.com/How-will-the-timeline-of-human-history-look-like-from-the-beginnings-to-the-end-of-human-beings) 


It's interesting to figure out that the very first Homo Sapiens were found in Africa starting at 200,000 B.C.E Can you even believe that?

T his week we dived into discussing certain writing systems and the the writing system of Korea came to interest me. So who was King Sejong? Who was King Sejong? And what did he create? KING SEJONG was the fourth  king  of Joseon-dynasty Korea and he was the one who instituted  Han’g ŭl.  King Sejong was aware that Koreans didn’t have a writing of their own and he felt that Chinese writing could not match the complexity or grammar like Koreans. And knew that there can be another writing system where his people can express more of their emotions and create a writing system so that everyone can have a chance to learn. So thats when he developed Han’g ŭl.  Han’g ŭl wasn’t originally accepted because of prior Japanese occupation. They were against it because Japan and Korea had differences when it came to writing.  Japan felt that Korea was going against the tradition of using scripts other than Chinese words. It wasn’t until after WW2 which bro...
