Kiersten Hill Watson Break Watson Break is a relatively new discovery and a very exciting find. t was discovered in 1981 when a Willamate Timber company received a contract to start logging this particular property. Watson Break lies within the Ouachita River flood plain and is only 20 miles from Monroe, LA. There are a total of eleven mounds that are shaped in a doughnut pattern ranging in sizes of only 3 feet high to almost 25 feet in height. Watson Break Archaeological Site is the oldest known manmade structure in the entire Western Hemisphere.
Cave Lion 5. Chalicotherium The cave lion (Panthera leo spelaea) was probably the biggest lion that ever lived. It was 25 percent bigger than lions today and was up to about 11.5 ft (3.5 m) long. was an early, herbivorous mammal from the Miocene. This forest browser was an ungulate with large, clawed feet (instead of hooves).
“Stonehenge Decoded” Stonehenge Decoded examines British archaeologist Mike Parker Pearson’s theory about Stonehenge. His theory suggests that the stone circle was at the center of one of the largest prehistoric religious sites in the world. Pearson and his team uncover the first evidence of a 4,500 year-old lost settlement with at least 300 houses. It is the largest Stone Age settlement ever found in Northern Europe. At its center lie the remains of a near replica of Stonehenge built of wood.
The animal I chose to do my report over for the prehistoric era is the Stegosaurus. Stegosaurus translates to meaning, “roof lizard or"plated lizard". Stegosauruses most likely lived during the late Jurassic period, about 156-140 million years ago. Fossils have been found in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, USA, and in North America, western Europe, southern India, China, and southern Africa. The first Stegosaurus fossil was found in Colorado, USA, in 1876 by M. P. Felch.
Homo erectus (1.8 million - 250,000 years ago - Brain far bigger than Lucy’s (cranial capacity almost 900 cl) - Long, slim body - Two legs - Short forearms - Food: some plants, but mainly meat - Used fire and made stone tools - A world traveller The name of this species of early human is: Homo = man erectus = who stands upright Homo erectus was more human than Lucy. He could walk better and think better. His descendents went everywhere. They travelled the world. How do we know?
The Starving Time In the year 1608, the colonists of Jamestown faced a disastrous winter known as the “starving time.”(The starving time pg.1) During this particular winter countless colonists died. the starving time occured due to the fact that the colonists were only interasted in finding gold, they had little agricultural knowlege, and the Indians were not happy with the colonists. These three factors dug the bariles of the colonists. Jamestown was funded in 1607 by the Virgina Company of London. The inverstors had one thing in mind, gold.
Magdalenian Culture: Personal Ornamentation and other uses of Art The Stone Age was a wildly innovative time period for humans across the world. Estimated lasting about 3.4 million years and ending between 6000 and 2000 BCE, there is loads about this ancient era that is widely theorized and mysterious. Since there is so much to cover within the Stone Age, it was reasoned by scholars in the 1800’s, that it be broken up chronologically, starting with the Paleolithic era and continuing with the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods. The Paleolithic era, meaning “old stone”, is the earliest division of the Stone Age and covers the greatest portion of humanity’s time. Separated into three stages, Lower, Middle and Upper, the Paleolithic period is still very much unaccounted for.
Great Pyramid of Giza From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [pic] The Great Pyramid of Giza, in 2005. Built c. 2560 B.C., it is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis. The Great Pyramid of Giza (also called the Khufu's Pyramid, Pyramid of Khufu, and Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramidsin the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now Cairo, Egypt, and is the only remaining member of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is believed the pyramid was built as a tomb for Fourth dynasty Egyptian King Khufu (Cheops in Greek) and constructed over a 20 year period concluding around 2560 BC. The Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years.
It was considered to be the tallest building in the world until the Eiffel Tower was built. Although they think it took almost eighty years to build the Great Pyramid at Giza, it is estimated that the smaller pyramids usually took around twenty years to build. The Great Pyramid at Giza was built by hand using over two million of blocks of stone. Each stone weighed around 2,500 pounds, which is about as much as a car weighs. It probably took thousands of very strong men to build each pyramid by rolling the stones up ramps using ropes, levers, and logs.
However the Snow Leopard does compete with hunters who illegally hunt them for the selling’s of their organs. Over Population The Snow Leopard is expected to soon become extinct, and yes there are other species such as some of their small prey seeming to be overpopulating the area. The bunnies are said to be mass producing over in their habitat but only because of how quick bunnies and hare are at reproduction. On the other hand the larger prey are said to never be a problem of over population at this point because the snow leopard feed off them daily and because they don’t have a high
